Words Associated with Christianity and British History Taken Out of Children's Dictionary
December 8, 2008 - From: www.telegraph.co.uk
by Julie Henry
Oxford University Press has removed words like "aisle", "bishop", "chapel", "empire" and "monarch" from its Junior Dictionary and replaced them with words like "blog", "broadband" and "celebrity". Dozens of words related to the countryside have also been culled.
The publisher claims the changes have been made to reflect the fact that Britain is a modern, multicultural, multifaith society.
But academics and head teachers said that the changes to the 10,000 word Junior Dictionary could mean that children lose touch with Britain's heritage.
"We have a certain Christian narrative which has given meaning to us over the last 2,000 years. To say it is all relative and replaceable is questionable," said Professor Alan Smithers, the director of the centre for education and employment at Buckingham University. "The word selections are a very interesting reflection of the way childhood is going, moving away from our spiritual background and the natural world and towards the world that information technology creates for us."
An analysis of the word choices made by the dictionary lexicographers has revealed that entries from "abbey" to "willow" have been axed. Instead, words such as "MP3 player", "voicemail" and "attachment" have taken their place.
Lisa Saunders, a worried mother who has painstakingly compared entries from the junior dictionaries, aimed at children aged seven or over, dating from 1978, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007, said she was "horrified" by the vast number of words that have been removed, most since 2003.
"The Christian faith still has a strong following," she said. "To eradicate so many words associated with the Christianity will have a big effect on the numerous primary schools who use it."
Ms Saunders realised words were being removed when she was helping her son with his homework and discovered that "moss" and "fern", which were in editions up until 2003, were no longer listed.
"I decide to take a closer look and compare the new version to the other editions," said the mother of four from Co Down, Northern Ireland. "I was completely horrified by the vast number of words which have been removed. We know that language moves on and we can't be fuddy-duddy about it but you don't cull hundreds of important words in order to get in a different set of ICT words."
Anthony Seldon, the master of Wellington College, a leading private school in Berkshire, said: "I am stunned that words like "saint", "buttercup", "heather" and "sycamore" have all gone and I grieve it.
"I think as well as being descriptive, the Oxford Junior Dictionary, has to be prescriptive too, suggesting not just words that are used but words that should be used. It has a duty to keep these words within usage, not merely pander to an audience. We are looking at the loss of words of great beauty. I would rather have "marzipan" and "mistletoe" then "MP3 player."
Oxford University Press, which produces the junior edition, selects words with the aid of the Children's Corpus, a list of about 50 million words made up of general language, words from children's books and terms related to the school curriculum. Lexicographers consider word frequency when making additions and deletions.
Vineeta Gupta, the head of children's dictionaries at Oxford University Press, said: "We are limited by how big the dictionary can be - little hands must be able to handle it - but we produce 17 children's dictionaries with different selections and numbers of words.
"When you look back at older versions of dictionaries, there were lots of examples of flowers for instance. That was because many children lived in semi-rural environments and saw the seasons. Nowadays, the environment has changed. We are also much more multicultural. People don't go to Church as often as before. Our understanding of religion is within multiculturalism, which is why some words such as "Pentecost" or "Whitsun" would have been in 20 years ago but not now."
She said children's dictionaries were trialed in schools and advice taken from teachers. Many words are added to reflect the age-related school curriculum.
Non-whites destroy "small town feel" in Utah and the main-stream media stands silent. More evidence that wherever blacks or Mexicans move, they ruin the neighborhood.
Garland Loses 'Mayberry' Feel / Leaders Urge Anti-Gang Action Before It's Too Late
December 26, 2008 - From: www.standard.net
by Di Lewis
GARLAND -- Marty Hiles said when he moved from California to Garland, he "called it Mayberry."
But now, gang-related break-ins, fights, graffiti and drugs are working their way into his small town, so Hiles, a member of the planning and zoning commission, is doing something about it.
After seeing gang violence transform his California neighborhood, Hiles is determined to act before the problem gets out of control in his new town.
"Utah is being reactive to the growth of crime, and we need to be proactive," he said.
He began a Neighborhood Watch program two months ago, and he and City Councilwoman Jonna Constock are supporting legislation to make it a crime to affiliate with a known gang.
Constock and Hiles also want the community to keep some of the money from juvenile convictions, rather than having the full fine go to the state.
Communities spend a lot of money on rehab and counseling programs to help teens escape criminal activity, Constock said.
"Once a person gets into the prison system, there's not a lot of help for them to get out or trained. There still is for a juvenile. There's a lot of help at the juvenile level."
Part of Hiles' work is making the community aware of what gangs look like.
He has shown the 50 people in the Neighborhood Watch how to recognize gang signs and colors and to report suspicious activity. Also, a member of the Ogden Police Department gang unit spoke to high school students and community members in November.
Garland Police Chief Linda Bourne said this is the first year the community has seen gang problems.
She said she believes gangs are coming to smaller towns, places where law enforcement resources are stretched thin.
Members are outwardly wearing gang colors now, and Bourne said there have been fights between gang members at Bear River High School.
"I think the challenge is just making everybody aware of what's going on where it's never been here before," she said.
"When you think of gangs, you think California, not here, right under your nose."
Because of educating the community, Bourne said, more people have begun to notice gang signs, tattoos and colors and are telling police.
The legislation Hiles and Constock support is a good step, Bourne said, but she believes other laws, such as a gang enhancement for crimes, would be helpful.
"Anywhere that you can try and prevent stuff or help with the prevention is a good thing. You have to start somewhere."
Hiles wants to enact laws to prevent gang problems from growing.
He wants to make the community and the state aware that gangs could quickly become problems where they had not been before.
As director of Neighborhood Watch, he said people have been telling him about increased crime in Garland and Tremonton.
"It's a growing problem, and it seems to be growing rapidly," he said.
Constock, a teacher's aide at Bear River High, said she has seen an increase in gang influence in the school and town and wants parents and residents to start addressing the problem of gangs earlier.
She hopes that by making affiliation with a gang illegal, a teen getting cited for gang activity can be a wake-up call to parents who may not have known their kid was involved with a gang.
"We're seeing the red flags and we need to get something in place, or this will nail the state of Utah," Constock said.
When the Legislature opens in January, Ogden Police Chief and state Sen. Jon Greiner plans to introduce a controversial gang bill that some believe would allow racial profiling.
The bill would allow law enforcement to order gang members to leave areas designated as gang-free. Those who refuse to leave or who return within eight hours could be charged with a misdemeanor.

Mexico City Starts Grope-Free Buses for Women
January 22, 2008 - From: www.reuters.com
by Mica Rosenberg
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico City has started a women-only bus service to protect female passengers from groping and verbal abuse common on the city's packed public transportation system.
Millions of people cram into subway trains and buses in the Mexican capital, one of the world's largest cities, and women have long complained of abuse from men taking advantage of overcrowding to sneak in an inappropriate grab.
"One time a man stuck his hand up my skirt. They grab your butt ... It's gross," said 27-year-old office assistant Lourdes Zendejas, who waited 20 minutes during the evening rush hour to catch one of the new buses.
The special buses pull up at ordinary stops but have large pink "women only" signs on the front and side. They were added to two busy routes last week and the city government plans to expand the program to 15 other routes by April.
Mexico City's transport system, which also includes hundreds of privately operated "micro" buses, carries twice as many riders as New York's.
"We were constantly receiving complaints of women being leered at, kissed or followed," said Carlos Cervantes, spokesman for the city's public bus system.
Mexico City already had reserved the first three cars in subway trains for women and children but this is the first time the model has been tried in buses.
Women using the new service on Monday had space to sit down and giggled as the driver turned away men at the door.
"This is wonderful. Men never give up their seat for us old people, no one is a gentleman," said 73-year-old Beatriz Perez, whose bulging shopping bags were tucked under her seat.
But not everyone was convinced that having only women would make the ride more pleasant.
"Women can be aggressive too," said telephone operator Rosa Maria Vargas, 42, traveling with her 9-year-old son. "When it gets really crowded, I've been pushed and punched before by men and women."
Amazing! But watch Hollywood ignore him now...
David Spade Buys High-Powered Rifles for Local Police Department
December 23, 2008 - From: www.foxnews.com
by Adam Housley
Actor and one-time Phoenix resident David Spade has donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department. The department will use the much needed funds to buy high-powered rifles to defend the city from the growing influence of Mexican drug cartels.
Through his publicist, Spade explained that "these guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help."
Spade says he got the idea for the donation after seeing a story on FOX News. Phoenix police say Spade called asking to donate to their rifle program after he saw that officers, outgunned and desperate for more firepower, wanted to buy their own semi-automatic rifles.
"Mr. Spade has stepped forward and has given a gift to our officers of increased safety," said Police Chief Jack Harris. "I am thrilled that we were able to accept that money that will hopefully bring us to 300 rifles on the street."
Phoenix Police Sgt. Alan Hill says 50 AR-15 rifles to be purchased with the donation will be given to patrol officers.
Spade, 44, grew up in the Phoenix area and graduated from Arizona State University. The "Rules of Engagement" star has helped out cops before, donating $25,000 to the family of a fallen Phoenix police officer last year.
Most of Bernie Madoff's dirty kike money went to Democrats! Shocking, huh?
Madoff is Active Political Donor
December 14, 2008 - From: www.ft.com
by Ellen Kelleher
Bernard Madoff has been an active political donor in recent years, backing the Democrats more often than not.
Records show that he has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to the campaigns of powerful politicians from his home state, New York, such as Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton and Charles Rangel, as well as Frank Lautenberg, Christopher Dodd and Richard Gephardt.
His most generous donation was a gift of $100,000, made over four years, to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
He also kept up his ties to the Securities Industry Association, Wall Street's largest trade group where he once led the trading committee, increasing his yearly contributions from $2,000 in the nineties to $5,000 in the past few years.
From time to time, Mr Madoff offered financial assistance to Republicans.
In 2000, he wrote a $1,000 cheque to Vito Fossella, a congressman from Staten Island, whose career has taken a tumble following revelations that he fathered a child out of an extramarital affair, and he also donated thousands of dollars in the nineties to Jack Fields, a former Republican congressman from Houston, Texas.

Niggers! Democrats! Corrupt Labor Unions! Change! LOL!
Average Detroit Home Price $18,513 - Unemployment Rate 21%
December 21, 2008 - From: www.tribbleagency.com
The Great Depression has reached Detroit. The average price of a home is now $18,513 and unemployment has reached 21%, and it's expected to get worse. Detroit is facing a crisis of epic proportions that officially puts Detroit statistically (and real term) on par with the great depression. Many readers of Tribble Ad Agency are advertising centric.. and due to the rash of layoffs within all Detroit Advertising firms has put the city on the map for the wrong reasons.
It has become the center of all that is wrong with America... and nothing of what is right.
For example, the crime rate has fallen... because of lack of targets within the city. Meaning there is nothing left to steal. In fact, even the criminals don't want to leave jail.
Heard confirmed that some offenders, notably those without homes of their own, were now expressing reluctance to leave jail when their sentences were done.
Home values have plummeted to levels not seen in 1/2 a century... and the 21% unemployment has in some cases been projected to double within 12 months if the auto industry totally collapses.
To make matters even worse, Detroit has superseded New Orleans as the "worst city" in America... but New Orleans had a Hurricane they could assign blame to... Detroit has no such natural disaster crutch.
"It's a depression - not a recession," McDuell said, with the authority of someone who has lived through both. "It will get worse before it gets better."
It's a man-made disaster.
Regarding a local food bank in Detroit that has seen record numbers of individuals entering the system:
"Many people are first-timers - they have no idea how to navigate the system, how to qualify for food stamps," Wells said. "Last year, some were donors - now they're clients."
In short, last year they donated money into the system... now they are feeding from it because they themselves are in hard financial times.
Detroit needs a miracle, the chances of it showing a resurgence is slim to none in the current economic outlook.
Good article about the fraud of the eternal "victim" mentality.
The Truth About 'Hate Crimes' and the Racial Justice Racket
December 3, 2008 - From: www.baltimoresun.com
by Ron Smith
On Thanksgiving morning, the top right-hand corner of this page quoted Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center on what he said was the reaction of hate groups to the dawning of the Age of Obama: "We've seen everything from cross-burnings on lawns of interracial couples to effigies of [President-elect Barack] Obama hanging from nooses to unpleasant exchanges in schoolyards. I think we're in a worrying situation right now."
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a thriving business. The Alabama-based "nonprofit" firm has become a font of riches for founder Morris Dees and his associates. Its last tax return (2005) showed it took in nearly $111 million in donations the previous four years alone and reported assets of $189.4 million at the end of 2005.
Its business is fundraising, and its success at raking in the cash is based on its ability to sell gullible people on the idea that present-day America is awash in white racism and anti-Semitism, which it will fight tooth-and-nail as the public interest law firm it purports to be. That might lead a skeptic to wonder why it spends little on litigation and why Mr. Dees pockets a lot of money sent in by panicked donors who buy into the smear campaigns against organizations or prominent individuals who question racial preference programs.
To me and to other observant conservatives, the Southern Poverty Law Center is a clever scam, relentlessly cultivating for profit the fear that this nation is filled with Klansmen and rife with people eager to perpetrate genocide. If you're curious about this organization and its legitimacy, spend some time on the Internet and assess it for yourself, because I want to move on to something else related to the comment by Mr. Potok. He mentions cross-burnings on the lawns of interracial couples. If this is true, shame on those who do such things, but what you probably don't know about - and what the law center ignores - is the atrocity committed on an interracial couple in Winchester, Calif.: Marine Sgt. Jan Pawel Pietrzak, a Polish immigrant, and his African-American bride of two months, Quiana Jenkins Pietrzak. Four African-American Marines, two of them under Sergeant Pietrzak's command (including Emrys Justin John, 18, of Baltimore), are accused of breaking into the couple's home and killing them both (one is also charged with a sex crime). In the weeks since the brutal murders, the media have been largely silent about the grisly incident. Would that be the case had the alleged perpetrators been white? Don't be silly.
And as we have come to expect, the authorities won't attribute the Pietrzaks' deaths to "hate." The Riverside County prosecutor's office says the crime was motivated by robbery. But the mother of the murdered Marine, Henryka Pietrzak-Varga, wrote a letter to the president-elect about what happened to her son and daughter-in-law, wondering, "If it was a robbery, why didn't they come when nobody was home instead of in the dead of night, armed to the teeth? ... What was it about my son and daughter-in-law that inspired such hatred and loathing?" As columnist and blogger Nicholas Stix notes, "The questions are, of course, rhetorical. Mrs. Pietrzak-Varga obviously knows full well why her son and daughter-in-law were murdered." "Hate crimes," as trumpeted by the likes of the Southern Poverty Law Center, are a questionable legal construct used almost exclusively against whites.
Hateful or not, interracial violent crime is overwhelmingly black on white or black on Asian. The Department of Justice's figures show that between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. You won't hear about that from the Southern Poverty Law Center or see it on the evening newscasts, because the truth is one thing and the liberal agenda is another.
Now here's a real hate crime you won't be hearing about!
Two More Face Charges in Restaurant Managers Killing
January 5, 2009 - From: www.freep.com
by Pat Murphy
Two additional arrests have been made in connection with the Oct. 15 shooting of a pregnant restaurant manager killed in a botched robbery attempt in Lathrup Village. Only one of the suspects, however, has been charged with murder.
Deandre A. Sturges, 19, of Beverly Hills and Brandon K. Davis, 20, of Southfield, were arraigned in 46th District Court, Southfield, on Monday afternoon. Each stood mute with not guilty pleas entered on their behalf.
They are the second and third suspects to be charged in the death of Catherine Solinski-Blain, 21, who was shot once in the head about 10:45 p.m. after she had closed the Rib Rack Restaurant, where she was a manager.
Arrested in late November was Jerome A. Hamilton, who turned 16 Wednesday. He was charged with first degree murder but that has been changed to homicide/open murder and his preliminary examination is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
At the time Hamiltons was charged, Lathrup Village police and the Oakland County Prosecutors office said additional arrests were pending.
Of the two arraigned Monday, only Sturges is charged with open murder, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. He is also charged with carrying a firearm in commission of a felony.
He was scheduled for a pre-examination conference at 8:30 a.m. Friday. Judge Susan Moiseev denied bond.
Davis is charged with conspiring to commit armed robbery and being an accessory, after the fact, to the commission of a felony. Through his attorney, Jonathan Jones, Davis waived preliminary examination and was bound over to Oakland Circuit Court.
Jones also asked Judge Susan Moiseev to set bond for his client citing his having cooperated with the investigation. Moiseev, however, denied bond, in part because Lathrup Village Sgt. Vincent Lynch, the lead detective on the case asked bond not be set due to the nature of the crime.
