      <title>Female Marine Poolee Raises Bar for Success</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 19:26:41 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Starting in January 2014, female Marines will be required to perform the same minimum of three pull-ups as required for male Marines. This new standard for female Marines does not concern poolee Paige C. Colburn of Monroe, N.C., because she is already performing nine dead-hang pull ups.Colburn, who joined the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program on Jan. 22, departed for recruit training on April 8. She is well aware of the new standard, but she plans to show others females are more than capable of meeting and exceeding the new standard.

&quot;I am able to show what I have worked so hard for,&quot; Colburn said, referring to her progression from two pull ups when she joined the DEP. &quot;I never thought I would do nine pull ups. Now my goal is to reach 10.&quot;

Colburn's recruiter, Sgt. Christopher A. Moberg, of Recruiting Substation Monroe, Recruiting Station Columbia, said accountability is crucial in preparing young enlistees for the rigors associated with recruit training. The rotary-wing aircraft mechanic and former CH-46 crew chief said he and his fellow Marines expect their poolees to give 100 percent effort throughout their time in the DEP. This means poolees attending physical training sessions held every week, to include monthly pool functions.

Colburn is an example of a poolee who exceeded Moberg's expectations. She not only attended every possible training event, which often included working out six days a week with a full-time job, but she also served as a leader among fellow poolees with less than three months in the program.

&quot;She tends to downplay her own abilities, but she becomes unstoppable once she overcomes that,&quot; Moberg said. &quot;A lot of people follow her. When someone falls out of a run, we don't have to tell her to go back to get that person. She doesn't quit, and she's not selfish at all. She leads by example.&quot;He said he and his fellow recruiters take an invested interest in each poolee's development in the program. They want to ensure every poolee is mentally, morally and physically prepared for recruit training. Their training progression ensures poolees like Colburn are able to exceed standards. They also encourage poolees to take on leadership roles while in the DEP. This includes leading physical training sessions with the guidance and mentorship of their recruiters. This method draws out the leadership potential within each enlistee.

Colburn demonstrated her abilities during RS Columbia's annual Female Pool Function held on Feb. 23, which evaluated each female enlistee's ability to perform under intense stress. Drill instructors from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., attend the event each year to create an atmosphere similar to recruit training. During the event, drill instructors demand speed, volume, and intensity from poolees.

This year's event served as an opportunity to test each female poolee's ability to perform pull-ups. Colburn performed seven deadhang pull-ups during the event, two less than her current max.

&quot;I was nervous because I did not know what to expect,&quot; Colburn said. &quot;Everyone hears about drill instructors and sees them in YouTube videos, but it's difficult to understand without experiencing it firsthand. But weirdly enough, I wasn't scared. I knew I had to keep a straight face, but I was smiling on the inside. It was everything I hoped it would be.&quot;

Sgt. Alejandra Hernandez, a drill instructor with Company N, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, led the event and took the opportunity to inform the female enlistees about the future challenges they have to expect in recruit training.

The Chicago native, who has more than two years of experience as a drill instructor, said the Marine Corps is implementing more physical training focused on upper-body strength. She identified several activities, including the push press and clean press, in an effort to provide poolees with an idea of what to expect and how they can best prepare for the challenges to come.

&quot;There are a lot of changes coming,&quot; Hernandez said. &quot;We will be conducting more combat conditioning. Recruits have to start preparing themselves before they ship to recruit training or else they will struggle even more.&quot;

Hernandez, who will serve as a senior drill instructor with her next platoon, said the majority of recruits in her previous platoon could not perform any dead-hang pull ups upon arrival to recruit training. The majority of those recruits were able to perform an average of three pull ups upon graduation.

She used Colburn as an example of a recruit who will not only be successful in meeting the physical demands of recruit training, but also as a recruit who will be able to take on leadership roles, such as that of a guide or squad leader.

&quot;I will be looking for recruits who can do it,&quot; Hernandez said, noting the ability to perform above the physical fitness standard. &quot;I will be looking for her to motivate other recruits. She could motivate recruits and help them to do more pull ups.&quot;

Colburn said she lives to help others. She believes her experience in the DEP has helped her to realize her calling, and she has met every opportunity to help with enthusiasm and determination.
 
&quot;I want to help others, to walk, to run, to lift, whatever the case may be,&quot; Colburn said. &quot;It's all about being a leader in any way, shape, or form.&quot;</description>

      <title>District Spent $20K Per Student, Had Rodents In Schools, Holes In Ceiling and Walls</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 14:18:10 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Student: 'We had to worry if something was going to
crawl on us ... if the ceiling was going to fall in on us'


A news service for the people of Michigan from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy

District Spent $20K Per Student.

 Though the Highland Park School District spent $19,634 per pupil in 2010-11 , which was  the highest in the state , district schools were so mismanaged that they had rodents in the classrooms, holes in the ceilings and walls, and horrendous filth in the bathrooms.

&quot;I   it in the media center,&quot; DeCarlos, a junior at Highland Park Community High School, said of a mouse he saw running along the floor from a nearby room.

He wasn't alone.

&quot;It was terrible,&quot; said Delshon, a senior at HPCHS. &quot;We had to worry if something was going to crawl on us; worry if the ceiling was going to fall in on us.

&quot;You'd just do your work and you'd just see something just run across,&quot; he said.

I have been visiting Highland Park schools this year to watch as the district transitions from a conventional district to a charter district - one of the first two public school districts in Michigan to make such a change. 

Though the Highland Park district was struggling financially and academically, it spent more money than every other district in the state. During the 2010-11 school year, Highland Park spent nearly $20,000 per student. And yet, the Highland Park schools are in utter disrepair. 

In 2012, a financial review team appointed by (Republican) Gov. Rick Snyder declared that the Highland Park school district was in a financial emergency. The district had spent millions more than it had received in revenue.

There were accusations of mismanagement. Highland Park board member Robert Davis was charged with improperly spending more than $170,000 of school district money, on clothing, hotels and restaurant tabs, among other things.

Ultimately, the state gave Highland Park more than $8 million in extra funding so that it could pay its bills. 

This fall, the district reopened as a charter district. School administrators who work for The Leona Group, the charter management company that is running the schools, say that they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to clean and fix up the facilities. 

Leona replaced some toilets at Highland Park schools, but not those on school floors that aren't being used. The remaining toilets betray just how far things had declined in Highland Park schools under conventional district management. The toilet bowls are caked brown. 

Ceiling tiles are missing in many of the buildings. One hallway wall in the high school is partially caved in. The security guard showing me around the school building said that the wall was damaged during a fight last year.

&quot;This stuff didn't just get like this. It's been like this,&quot; said Valecia Ashford, a teacher who has been with the district for 37 years. 

When I asked her how teachers and parents allowed students to attend school in these conditions, Ashford responded: &quot;I thought about my colleagues. Always placed them in very high regard. But going into some of these rooms, and looking at the filth that was in those rooms ... my whole attitude changed toward them.&quot;

Prior to being charterized, some district officials were blaming state legislators for a lack of funding. The Michigan PTA President also called for more money. At the same time, the district was spending nearly $20,000 per student - well over a quarter of a million per classroom - while the district shed nearly half of its students

The previous teachers' contract shows that the district paid 100 percent of health care premiums while granting special favors for the union, like handing over district financial information, setting up an automatic payroll deduction for dues, and allowed the local president to spend half of his or her time working exclusively on union business. 

No Highland Park District school board member responded to a request for comment as to how the district could have spent so much while leaving the facilities in such disrepair.

      <description>I boil the hell out of mine. The leaves should just fall off when its ready.
You get a good sized bowl of Artichoke when you clean the leaves like this. I'll sometimes use it as an ingredient in something but most of the time I just eat it with butter poured all over it.


Enjoy my clean hands in this one.
 Wont be seeing them for awhile again.

Cheers!</description>

      <title>Cult member: I was locked in storeroom with mice</title>

      <description>Police detain Munib Farhat, A Muslim from Majd al-Krum (N.Israel) suspected of running abusive sect, allegedly subjugated 6 families to his will, forced parents to treat children violently.

Woman who left the cult of Majd al-Krum says leader sexually assaulted members, smeared feces on kids. 'When I screamed he threatened to murder me,' she tells Ynet -
&quot;He attacked the women and children, kept women locked in the shower for hours and took our paychecks,&quot; said a woman who was a member of a violent cult allegedly led by 56-year-old Munib Farhat in the Galilee community of Majd al-Krum.


Farhat was arrested on Tuesday by Northern District Police after a month-long investigation following a complaint by a 46 year-old member of the cult who managed to escape. He was remanded for eight days.
Police suspect the leader had ordered his followers to act violently toward their children, in the name of &quot;proper&quot; education. The violent cult consisted of 11 adults and 25 children.

The man is also accused of sexually assaulting several of the women in the group and abusing both the women and children. Among other things, the cult leader allegedly locked the children in the bathroom, smeared feces on their mouths and rationed their food. Farhat has denied the allegations.


&quot;Farhat told us he was a religious man and could solve any financial, social and family-related problem,&quot; the woman who filed the complaint told Ynet. &quot;He also convinced us to turn over our paychecks at the end of each month and said if we wanted to purchase anything we should ask him (for money).&quot;
According to the woman, the cult leader opened a small store in his home &quot;and he forced us to shop only there. Sometimes we would ask him for money to buy food for the house, and he would give us 50 shekels ($14) and tell us that was enough. He also never agreed to give the children any money. He stole our all of our funds.&quot;

The complainant's brother said she told him the abuse, assault and sexual exploitation went on for years.

The woman further told Ynet that &quot;at first we believed (Farhat) and thought he wanted to help us, but everything changed over the past few years. He attacked women and children; forced them to clean the house and cultivate the land without any compensation. Any woman who objected was attacked and locked in the shower or stockroom for more than seven hours.
&quot;He brutally attacked me several times - stepped on my neck, hit me all over by body and locked me up in the stockroom with the mice. When I screamed he threatened to murder me. I did not seek medical care because I was afraid he would hurt me if he found out,&quot; she recalled.

The woman said that as soon as she left the cult and complained against Farhat, he turned her family against her. &quot;My husband and three children are no longer in touch with me and believe that the cult leader's way is the right one. I hope we will live together again - far away from this horrific story,&quot; the woman said.

      <title>Here Are the Republicans Who Voted 'No' on Hurricane Sandy Relief Funds</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 19:29:51 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>(Bet all those &quot;good ol' boys&quot; are changing their tune after today)




 Friday, Congress finally approved a  $9.7 billion package 
 to pay flood insurance claims from Hurricane Sandy. The measure was 
supposed to come to a vote earlier in the week, but was tabled by House 
Speaker John Boehner, drawing much criticism from both Democrats and  his fellow Republicans  alike.
The measure
 passed unanimously through the Senate, but 67 members of the House of 
Representatives voted &quot;no&quot; to assisting people who were left, at best, 
powerless or homeless by a hurricane in November. All 67 are 
Republicans:
 Justin Amash (R-MI) Andy Barr (R-KY) Dan Benishek (R-MI) Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI) Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) Mo Brooks (R-AL) Paul Broun (R-GA) Steve Chabot (R-OH) Doug Collins (R-GA) Mike Conaway (R-TX) Tom Cotton (R-AR) Steve Daines (R-MT) Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) Sean Duffy (R-WI) Jeff Duncan (R-SC) Jimmy Duncan (R-TN) Stephen Fincher (R-TN) John Fleming (R-LA) Bill Flores (R-TX) Virginia Foxx (R-NC) Trent Franks (R-AZ) Louie Gohmert (R-TX) Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) Paul Gosar (R-AZ) Trey Gowdy (R-SC) Tom Graves (R-GA) Sam Graves (R-MO) Andrew Harris (R-MD) George Holding (R-NC) Richard Hudson (R-NC) Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) Randy Hultgren (R-IL) Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) Jim Jordan (R-OH) Doug Lamborn (R-CO) Kenny Marchant (R-TX) Thomas Massie (R-KY) Tom McClintock (R-CA) Mark Meadows (R-NC) Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) Steven Palazzo (R-MS) Steve Pearce (R-NM) Scott Perry (R-PA) Tom Petri (R-WI) Mike Pompeo (R-KS) Tom Price (R-GA) Phil Roe (R-TN) Todd Rokita (R-IN) Keith Rothfus (R-PA) Ed Royce (R-CA) Paul Ryan (R-WI) Matt Salmon (R-AZ) David Schweikert (R-AZ) Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) Mac Thornberry (R-TX) Randy Weber (R-TX) Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) Roger Williams (R-TX) Joe Wilson (R-SC) Rob Woodall (R-GA) Kevin Yoder (R-KS) Ted Yoho (R-FL)  
The most 
high-profile Congressman on the list is Paul Ryan, failed vice 
presidential nominee. It also includes Mo Brooks, Ted Yoho, Ron 
DeSantis, Steven Palazzo and John Fleming from Alabama, Florida, 
Louisiana and Mississippi, all of which are states that received 
much-needed federal aid following Hurricane Katrina, the only hurricane 
in American history that was  more costly than Sandy . Speaker Boehner did not vote.Related Governor Cuomo: 'Extreme Weather, I Believe, Is Here to Stay' At
 a news conference today, Governor Cuomo gave the first estimate on 
exactly what the cost of Hurricane Sandy is going to be, stating that 
the storm ...  Read... 
This list 
also includes the entire Republican representation from Arizona, Kansas,
 Maryland, Montana and New Mexico (Maryland, Montana and New Mexico are 
only represented by one Republican each).
While it 
took Congress more than two months to approve any federal aid for Sandy 
victims, it took just 10 days after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
This aid 
package is only, however, the tip of the iceberg, as Congress will take 
another vote on an additional $51 billion aid package on January 15.  In a joint statement , New York and New Jersey governors Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie called the $9.7 billion a good start:

&quot;Today's action by the House was a necessary and critical first step 
towards delivering aid to the people of New Jersey and New York. While 
we are pleased with this progress, today was just a down payment and it 
is now time to go even further and pass the final and more complete, 
clean disaster aid bill. We are trusting Congress to act accordingly on 
January 15th and pass the final $51 billion instrumental for long-term 
rebuilding in order for New Jersey, New York and our people to recover 
after the severe devastation of Hurricane Sandy.&quot;</description>

      <title>FSA Heroes, Lions, Mujahideen Generals/Commanders Get Flogged For Raping Virgin Goats</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 19:21:06 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Confirmed reports coming in from all around the world, including independent, honest, truthful media outlets, that 2 FSA supreme commanders/generals were caught with their pants down, raping 2 male virgin goats last night.

The 2 commanders stated they were tired of their monogamous homosexual relationship and wanted to bring some 'spice and excitement' to their monotonous sex life.

CNN journalist interviewed the two generals before the public flogging, performed in full accordance with Sharia Laws, and asked them why they chose to penetrate virgin male goats, to which the men replied: &quot;Well it's very simple actually - we have very small penises, so any female goat orifice would not provide adequate pleasure for us, the male goats were untouched and uncorrupted - plus they closely reminded us of our child soldiers and chai-boys, so it was only natural for us to act this way.&quot;

During the flogging, one FSA Lion commander proceeded to pretend he was swimming like a fish in the dirt, while his younger counterpart asked for more punishment, including sewing his orifices closed to prevent the older FSA Hero general from molesting him in his sleep without his knowledge.&quot;

World leaders are reacting to these shocking news  - President Obama requested that all public floggings must stop immediately until US contractors can supply clean dirt to Syria for public floggings/executions. The president was quoted as saying &quot;No man deserves to swim like a fish in dirty dirt - America will not stand for it!&quot; 

His Russian counterpart, President Putin, made an official announcement offering &quot;Safety and non-penetration guarantee with immediate Russian visas to all Syrian goats under FSA control, regardless whether they are sunni or shiite goats, male or female...&quot; and concluded with &quot;While my American adversary is concerned with the quality of dirt, I as a true humanitarian, only care about the most important factor in this conflict - the safety of these innocent goats!&quot;

Stay tuned for follow up story regarding massive FSA loses all over Syria.</description>

      <description>Another video similar to the exposed skull seen in the first video. Which can be found here:

This case is from India(?) and I've had trouble determining the cause of such a horrific affliction. Although it may be possible that the maggots applied in both cases did not end up there by accident, but were introduced by a health professional or local doctor to consume the necrotic flesh and keep the wound clean. The perils of living in a remote location without access to proper health care I guess</description>
