  6. edit to add that this is from Alternet Palin takes unnecessary risks with the health of her own child, supports failed abstinence-only programs Amid the now-disproven rumors that the Palins' fifth child, Trig, was the son of her 17-year-old daughter, are reports that Sarah Palin seriously endangered her child during labor. Palin was in Texas delivering a speech when she allegedly began to leak amniotic fluid. Instead of immediately checking into a hospital, Palin finished her speech. She then flew to Anchorage, Alaska, where she drove to a hospital 45 minutes away to give birth. Palin's apparent need to rush to Alaska for the delivery helped fuel rumors she was faking the pregnancy to cover for her daughter. Now that the story has proven to be false, it nevertheless raises questions about Palin's judgment. In this case, she seems to have taken unnecessary risks in the delivery of her child. As the past eight years have shown us, the last thing we need is a reckless politician in office. And speaking of unsound judgment, her daughter's pregnancy demonstrates seriously poor decision making -- not on the part of Bristol but by conservative politicians like Palin and McCain, who have decided that the best way to ensure kids learn about sex is by depriving them of information. Palin is a firm supporter of abstinence-until-marriage sex education, despite the fact that numerous studies show that abstinence-only sex education does not delay sexual activity and may in fact lead to unsafe sex practices. It would be cheap to trade on the irony that a firm backer of abstinence-only sex ed is now the mother of a pregnant teen. But it does need to be noted that many pregnant teens do not have the financial and emotional supports that Bristol appears lucky to have. Palin's abstinence-only stance on sex ed, like McCain's, is wrong because it puts everyone's kids in danger. ______________________ Palin is the candidate of powerful far right-wing cabal; her nomination seals their support for the little-wanted McCain As Max Blumenthal reports: Last week ... the country's most influential conservatives met quietly in Minneapolis to get to know Sarah Palin. The assembled were members of the Council for National Policy, an ultra-secretive cabal that networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy. CNP members have included Tony Perkins, James Dobson, Grover Norquist, Tim LaHaye and Paul Weyrich. At a secret 2000 meeting of the CNP, George W. Bush promised to nominate only pro-life judges. ... This year, thanks to Sarah Palin's selection, the movement may have finally aligned itself behind the campaign of John McCain. What happened at the secret meeting was the topic of online commentary by one of its attendees, top Dobson/Focus on the Family flack Tom Minnery. Minnery described the mood as CNP members watched Palin: "And I have to tell you, that speech -- people were on their seats applauding, cheering, yelling ... That room in Minneapolis watching on the television screen was electrified. I have not seen anything like it in a long time." Minnery added that his boss, Dobson, has yearned for a conservative female leader like Margaret Thatcher to emerge on the American scene. And while Palin is no Thatcher, "she has not rejected the feminine side of who she is, so for that reason, she will be attractive to conservative voters." The members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain's Palin pick. With her selection, the Republican nominee is suddenly -- and unexpectedly -- assured of the support of a movement that once opposed his candidacy with all its might. Case in point: While Dobson once said he could "never" vote for McCain, he issued a statement last week hailing Palin as an "outstanding" choice. If Dobson's enthusiasm for Palin is any indication, he may soon emerge from his bunker in Colorado Springs to endorse McCain, providing the Republican nominee with the support of the Christian right's single most influential figure.
  7. I can't believe that there is a kids' show at the NAC the same night– almost concurrently– entitled "Get Set for Life Tour '08"
  8. Kevin Keegan is understood to have left St James' Park after the club failed to secure key transfer targets
  9. that's a really great result for Spurs and the rest of the pack as well. Loving how Man City beat the chavs to sign Robinho. Interesting days there with the takeover and whatnot. From the sounds of it they're going to have a lot of resources at their disposal facking berbs available to fergie for the liverpool game, and Pool without Stevie G, MBE and El Nino.
  10. jebas, best of luck to you Allison instant karma will persevere gawd i hate uptight philistines
  11. eat some chicken wings while playing with venetian blind strings that are tied to your big toe it may sound crazy but until you try...
  12. Yeah well what about the triple play that never was, ollie? didja ever think about that?
  13. Background: All his teams' troubles seem to have started just when ollie chose to support them, which leads one to wonder- is there an ollie curse? Let's see: -Sens: cupless since ollie started supporting them -Spurs: on a downward spiral since ollie started supporting them -Roughriders: folded since ollie took an interest -Buffalo Bills: ollie watched them go 0-4 in Super Bowl appearances, then bandwagon'd (Sens'd?) over to the Patriots, 17-1 last season. Makeshift poll (as I'm unable to create polls for some reason): Are ollie and the teams he supports cursed? (A) Hell yeah, bitch ( Maybe not, but if the world ends in 2012 I know who I'm going to blame © I only answered No coz I think he's got real purdy hair (D) This poll was in his hand before it was in his mouth
  14. sorry i meant defoe i guess but yeah that would make sense for sulky mcsulkalot to pony up a bit
  15. is that what the kids are calling it these days?
  16. Spurs in trouble, ollie. Berbs is bad for the lockeroom, ManU knows this full well, can wait it out til the last moment then Spurs will be scrambling to replace him, keane and jenas. Juande to be the first manager to get the boot? All these troubles seem to have started just when ollie chose to support them, which leads one to wonder- is there an ollie curse? Let's see: -Sens: cupless since ollie started supporting them -Spurs: on a downward spiral since ollie started supporting them -Roughriders: folded since ollie took an interest -Buffalo Bills: well ollie's Jim Kelly shirt doesn't see much action anymore...
  17. Or you could mix it up with a little Kentucky Bluegrass and some California Sensamilia, play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home, and just get stoned to the bejezus belt that night
  18. Not sure about the source on this, will look into it tomorrow: Alia Crum and Ellen Langer from Harvard psychology department took 84 female hotel attendants in 7 hotels. They were cleaning an average of 15 rooms a day, each requiring half an hour of walking, bending, pushing, lifting, and carrying. These women were clearly getting a lot of good exercise, but they didn’t believe it: 66.6% of them reported not exercising regularly, and 36.8% said they didn’t get any exercise at all. Their health, measured by things like weight, body fat, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure, was related to their perceived amount of exercise, rather than the actual amount of exercise they got, and this, so far, isn’t very unusual. A classic study of 7,000 adults found that that perceived health is a better predictor of death than actual health, and another looking at elderly people found that those who perceive their health to be poor are 6 times more likely to die than those who perceive their health to be excellent, regardless of how healthy they actually are. Once again this goes to show the danger of relying on self-report data for health research. But it gets better. Crum and Langer then divided the hotel workers into two groups (by hotel). One group got a one hour presentation on what a fabulous amount of exercise they were getting, how they were meeting and clearly exceeding the Surgeon General’s recommendations for an active lifestyle. They were given information sheets, in English and Spanish, showing the calorie burn for activities like vacuuming, or cleaning a bathroom, and the researchers even put notices up in communal areas explaining what excellently healthy exercise their work was. The other group was left alone. Four weeks later the researchers measured everything again. The group who had been tutored about the health benefits of their work now perceived that they did more exercise than before – unsurprisingly - while the group who were left alone didn’t change. Neither group had changed their actual levels of activity. But amazingly, despite no change in actual exercise levels, in the intervention group, simply being told about the value of what they were already doing caused a significant change for the better on every single one of the objective health measures recorded: weight, body fat, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure. It’s an outrage. Maybe mindset alone can influence metabolism and the benefits of exercise: perhaps this experiment shows, essentially, the placebo benefits of exercise. Maybe the cleaners changed their behaviour, or their diets, in ways that the researchers didn’t pick up, perhaps they had more spring in their step, tipping the scales in their favour. And maybe it doesn’t actually matter what caused the change, as long as we can exploit it: because the links between body and mind are far more fascinating than any pill peddler would ever have you believe.
