      <title>Some Benefits of Joining the Part-Time CFO Industry</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_Some-Benefits-of-Joining-the-Part-Time-CFO-Industry/BLOG/1495526/34209.html</link>
      <description>The foundation of the permanent part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;industry is delivering high impact results to&amp;nbsp;start-up, emerging, and medium-sized companies with sales up to $50 million.&amp;nbsp;Most of these companies cannot afford a full-time CFO, but they could benefit significantly from the perspective of and value-added from a senior level executive like a CFO.&amp;nbsp; Here are a few of the benefits I&amp;nbsp;have discovered since joining this industry:&#xD;
GREATER STABILITY THAN FULL-TIME CFO AND EXECUTIVE ROLES&#xD;
The statistics on C-level job turnover and time between jobs are staggering. With slightly varying results, most would agree that the average tenure of a CFO Career is less than 3-4 years with an average of 6 months between CFO roles. One thing is certain - gone are the days of loyal and diligent service to one employer for an entire career.&#xD;
With so much uncertainty in the job market, the stability and security that traditionally came from one paycheck have become uncommon. Even if you are the best CFO, turnover and time between jobs will come from mergers, acquisitions, and a host of other unpredictable and unforeseen reasons.&#xD;
Stability and security have found a new structure, one that our industry personifies. You see, with "paychecks" coming from five to twelve different and un-related companies (that's about how many clients I&amp;nbsp;serve&amp;nbsp;concurrently),&amp;nbsp;my concerns about the financial impact of job turnover and time between jobs has quickly dwindled.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;now&amp;nbsp;enjoy greater stability and job security than&amp;nbsp;I did when&amp;nbsp;I held full-time executive positions earlier in&amp;nbsp;my career.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
HIGH AND SUSTAINABLE EARNINGS&#xD;
Depending on&amp;nbsp;my own efforts and commitment, this industry can afford&amp;nbsp;me a level of earnings equal to or potentially in excess of one full-time executive job.&amp;nbsp; I have been able to&amp;nbsp;build trust-based and long-term working relationships with my&amp;nbsp;clients,&amp;nbsp;many of whom have been with me&amp;nbsp;for almost as long as I have been in this industry.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Hence, my&amp;nbsp;earnings potential is sustainable.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
PROFESSIONAL FULFILLMENT AND SATISFACTION&#xD;
The entrepreneurs, CEOs, business owners, and founders of most businesses often do not know what they are missing until they hire a part-time CFO. Once they do and their CFO does a respectable job for them, they often value&amp;nbsp;their background more than a full-time employer. There is nothing like knowing that&amp;nbsp;I have been able to make a significantly positive impact for&amp;nbsp;my clients, and then having those clients thank&amp;nbsp;me for&amp;nbsp;my knowledge, wisdom, expertise, and skill.&amp;nbsp; Adding value far beyond&amp;nbsp;my cost in a market that has so many un-served needs provides&amp;nbsp;me with a tremendous amount of fulfillment and satisfaction.&#xD;
COMMAND OF FUTURE&#xD;
The decisions and practices of others can negatively impact anyone at any time, often without warning.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In addition, many may be tempted to do things with which they disagree or that are contrary to their values when they feel financial pressure.&amp;nbsp;The diversification of&amp;nbsp;my sources of income have empowered me know&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;control my&amp;nbsp;future more&amp;nbsp;than anyone else, and the decisions of others will have very little impact on&amp;nbsp;my income and values.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
OBJECTIVITY &#xD;
Income from many clients, not just one employer, increases&amp;nbsp;my objectivity.&amp;nbsp;My personal agenda and priorities take a back seat to the best interest of&amp;nbsp;my clients and&amp;nbsp;I work to serve their interests above&amp;nbsp;my own. I&amp;nbsp;am more willing to&amp;nbsp;have a "tough" conversation with the CEO or owner of one of&amp;nbsp;my clients because it is the right thing to do, regardless of how it might impact&amp;nbsp;me personally.&#xD;
I have found that my&amp;nbsp;clients appreciate this about&amp;nbsp;my ability to approach them in this manner,&amp;nbsp;and they often look to use and implement more of&amp;nbsp;my advice than&amp;nbsp;some prior full-time employers. One of our CFOs was recently in a board meeting with a new client when the chairman of the board looked past all of the other executives and managers and asked our partner: "You work for many companies in many industries and have an objective opinion of things. What do you think we need to be doing to improve this company?"&#xD;
FLEXIBILITY&#xD;
No matter their personal and professional priorities, those committed to this industry enjoy more time flexibility than most other one-employer jobs afford.&amp;nbsp;I control&amp;nbsp;my schedule and can easily include as much or as little vacation, personal, civic, religious, and other time as&amp;nbsp;I want to complement&amp;nbsp;my professional responsibilities.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
RESPECTABLE CAREER IN A GROWING INDUSTRY&#xD;
The part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;industry has grown and developed tremendously in the last twenty years. This is no longer an industry defined by CFOs who try to get a few clients until they find a full-time job. There are many professionals in North America that have dedicated their entire careers to this industry and who have established or are in the process of establishing a long-term clientele.&#xD;
Bankers, attorneys, CPAs, investors, and other professionals respect&amp;nbsp;this industry and the value-added to businesses.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In fact, they are often a major source of our referrals. Knowing that the future of&amp;nbsp;the economy is primarily based on innovation and entrepreneurs who commercialize that innovation into thriving organizations,&amp;nbsp;I know that&amp;nbsp;our impact is significant and that we have the respect of all who understand what we do.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
POTENTIAL RISKS&#xD;
This industry is not without potential risks, which include professional liability and lost time and resources learning how to best market, sell, and service clients. An additional risk is the tendency most in this industry have to base their entire income only on their own billable time without opportunities to leverage their efforts into additional income.&#xD;
Joining the part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;industry has been a rewarding career choice for me in accomplishing my goals and objectives.&amp;nbsp; I encourage anyone who is interested in this industry to learn more and consider these benefits and risks along with the additional benefits that part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;firms, like CFO wise offer.&#xD;

This industry is not without potential risks, which include professional liability and lost time and resources learning how to best market, sell, and service clients.

        <media:description>The foundation of the permanent part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;industry is delivering high impact results to&amp;nbsp;start-up, emerging, and medium-sized companies with sales up to $50 million.&amp;nbsp;Most of these companies cannot afford a full-time CFO, but they could benefit significantly from the perspective of and value-added from a senior level executive like a CFO.&amp;nbsp; Here are a few of the benefits I&amp;nbsp;have discovered since joining this industry:&#xD;
GREATER STABILITY THAN FULL-TIME CFO AND EXECUTIVE ROLES&#xD;
The statistics on C-level job turnover and time between jobs are staggering. With slightly varying results, most would agree that the average tenure of a CFO Career is less than 3-4 years with an average of 6 months between CFO roles. One thing is certain - gone are the days of loyal and diligent service to one employer for an entire career.&#xD;
With so much uncertainty in the job market, the stability and security that traditionally came from one paycheck have become uncommon. Even if you are the best CFO, turnover and time between jobs will come from mergers, acquisitions, and a host of other unpredictable and unforeseen reasons.&#xD;
Stability and security have found a new structure, one that our industry personifies. You see, with "paychecks" coming from five to twelve different and un-related companies (that's about how many clients I&amp;nbsp;serve&amp;nbsp;concurrently),&amp;nbsp;my concerns about the financial impact of job turnover and time between jobs has quickly dwindled.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;now&amp;nbsp;enjoy greater stability and job security than&amp;nbsp;I did when&amp;nbsp;I held full-time executive positions earlier in&amp;nbsp;my career.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
HIGH AND SUSTAINABLE EARNINGS&#xD;
Depending on&amp;nbsp;my own efforts and commitment, this industry can afford&amp;nbsp;me a level of earnings equal to or potentially in excess of one full-time executive job.&amp;nbsp; I have been able to&amp;nbsp;build trust-based and long-term working relationships with my&amp;nbsp;clients,&amp;nbsp;many of whom have been with me&amp;nbsp;for almost as long as I have been in this industry.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Hence, my&amp;nbsp;earnings potential is sustainable.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
PROFESSIONAL FULFILLMENT AND SATISFACTION&#xD;
The entrepreneurs, CEOs, business owners, and founders of most businesses often do not know what they are missing until they hire a part-time CFO. Once they do and their CFO does a respectable job for them, they often value&amp;nbsp;their background more than a full-time employer. There is nothing like knowing that&amp;nbsp;I have been able to make a significantly positive impact for&amp;nbsp;my clients, and then having those clients thank&amp;nbsp;me for&amp;nbsp;my knowledge, wisdom, expertise, and skill.&amp;nbsp; Adding value far beyond&amp;nbsp;my cost in a market that has so many un-served needs provides&amp;nbsp;me with a tremendous amount of fulfillment and satisfaction.&#xD;
COMMAND OF FUTURE&#xD;
The decisions and practices of others can negatively impact anyone at any time, often without warning.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In addition, many may be tempted to do things with which they disagree or that are contrary to their values when they feel financial pressure.&amp;nbsp;The diversification of&amp;nbsp;my sources of income have empowered me know&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;control my&amp;nbsp;future more&amp;nbsp;than anyone else, and the decisions of others will have very little impact on&amp;nbsp;my income and values.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
OBJECTIVITY &#xD;
Income from many clients, not just one employer, increases&amp;nbsp;my objectivity.&amp;nbsp;My personal agenda and priorities take a back seat to the best interest of&amp;nbsp;my clients and&amp;nbsp;I work to serve their interests above&amp;nbsp;my own. I&amp;nbsp;am more willing to&amp;nbsp;have a "tough" conversation with the CEO or owner of one of&amp;nbsp;my clients because it is the right thing to do, regardless of how it might impact&amp;nbsp;me personally.&#xD;
I have found that my&amp;nbsp;clients appreciate this about&amp;nbsp;my ability to approach them in this manner,&amp;nbsp;and they often look to use and implement more of&amp;nbsp;my advice than&amp;nbsp;some prior full-time employers. One of our CFOs was recently in a board meeting with a new client when the chairman of the board looked past all of the other executives and managers and asked our partner: "You work for many companies in many industries and have an objective opinion of things. What do you think we need to be doing to improve this company?"&#xD;
FLEXIBILITY&#xD;
No matter their personal and professional priorities, those committed to this industry enjoy more time flexibility than most other one-employer jobs afford.&amp;nbsp;I control&amp;nbsp;my schedule and can easily include as much or as little vacation, personal, civic, religious, and other time as&amp;nbsp;I want to complement&amp;nbsp;my professional responsibilities.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
RESPECTABLE CAREER IN A GROWING INDUSTRY&#xD;
The part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;industry has grown and developed tremendously in the last twenty years. This is no longer an industry defined by CFOs who try to get a few clients until they find a full-time job. There are many professionals in North America that have dedicated their entire careers to this industry and who have established or are in the process of establishing a long-term clientele.&#xD;
Bankers, attorneys, CPAs, investors, and other professionals respect&amp;nbsp;this industry and the value-added to businesses.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In fact, they are often a major source of our referrals. Knowing that the future of&amp;nbsp;the economy is primarily based on innovation and entrepreneurs who commercialize that innovation into thriving organizations,&amp;nbsp;I know that&amp;nbsp;our impact is significant and that we have the respect of all who understand what we do.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
POTENTIAL RISKS&#xD;
This industry is not without potential risks, which include professional liability and lost time and resources learning how to best market, sell, and service clients. An additional risk is the tendency most in this industry have to base their entire income only on their own billable time without opportunities to leverage their efforts into additional income.&#xD;
Joining the part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;industry has been a rewarding career choice for me in accomplishing my goals and objectives.&amp;nbsp; I encourage anyone who is interested in this industry to learn more and consider these benefits and risks along with the additional benefits that part-time CFO&amp;nbsp;firms, like CFO wise offer.&#xD;

Darko Trifunovic and Jill Starr worked together at the Bosnian Mission to the United Nations in NYC in 2001-2002 together and I, Jill Starr,l verify this. I used to work on Mali's computer at the Mission because it always was getting fouled up with computer viruses. Another Bosnian Serb, who also worked in the mission at the time, said he became suspicious of who Catovic really was because he spoke poorBosnian. As a result, Trifunovic said he lost a job in the mission and moved to Belgrade.http://www.ziggs.com/apps/groups/GroupHub.aspx?grpID=527743The information the CIA &amp;amp; US Department of State ignored that could have prevented 9/11.

&#xD;
[image]I couldn&amp;rsquo;t get the link right so read the scoop here -&amp;gt; Robert Latham at New SchoolDear Friends: I have told this factual autobiographical account prior. However, this was during the height of NATO&amp;rsquo;s illegal war launched against Jugoslavija so I am unsure if this e-mail ever reached the entire audience for which it was intended. Hence, I am re-sending a brief account of whereby one United States University in New York City assisted Bill Clinton and Tony Blair in plotting, orchestrating, launching and perpetuating Albanian-KLA Nationalism and ethnic genocide directed against the Orthodox Christian Serbs in Kosovo. (See Attachment for formal proof).I. It was in the Fall of 1997, my first semester in graduate school at the New School for Social Research when I noticed the bulletin on the wall that announced the Albanian Pro-KLA Nationalist Fatmos Ljubonia was going to give a lecture on Albanian Nationalism at the New School for Social Research in NYC (5th and 14th Streets in Wolffe Conference Room 2nd floor). This lecture was undoubtedly funded by the USIP and the WPI (the World Policy Institute resides on the fourth floor of the schools location). II. Evidently, this particular lecture sparked my interest like none other owing to my serious commitment in following the various political &amp;amp; international trends regarding the Kosovo / Serbia &amp;amp; Bosnia wars and what would occur next. Therefore I made it my business to sit in on this lecture. III. At that time, primarily the students attending this lecture and (it was a full house) were from parts of the world (like Asia) who knew nothing about Serbia and Kosovo. So they were very interested to hear what Fatmos Ljubonia had to say about the plight of the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. There were only two graduate students who really knew what was going on in Kosovo at that time between the Albanians and the Serbs. (me and this Albanian student). I sat in for about 1 and 1/2 hours taking notes and listening. Then I left. Here is a short and brief description of the lecture.IV. Primarily Fatmos at first attempted to elicit as much sympathy as humanly possible from the New School graduate students. He began the lecture by explaining that the Serbian government had imprisoned him for 20 years. and treated him in an inhumane manner. He did not explain why to us. V. He quickly then shifted (to be blunt)&amp;ndash;he spent the rest of his lecture lying to the (students) about the current situation in Kosovo. He supplied lies as answers to the students questions about Serbia, Albania and Kosovo and Fatmos completely bad-mouthed the Serbian&amp;nbsp; government blaming it, for myriad human right violations not only committed against him (as he claimed) but also against him all ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. VI. He completely this question and answer session quite pleased with himself since most of my classmates later indicated to me that they were shocked to hear about the conditions under which Fatmos claimed the ethnic Albanians were living under in Kosovo. I knew the man was a filthy liar but I could not say anything at the time. So he lied lied and he lied more! VI. As I said I left early but I will never forget his phrase stating: &amp;ldquo;I, Fatmos Ljubonia, have come to the New School for Social Research to ask you, The New School students, to give me, Fatmos Ljubonia, new creative nationalist ideas to PROMOTE AND TO CONSTRUCT A GREATER ALBANIA!&amp;rdquo; VII. Now there were a hell of a lot of New School faculty members also present who knew the truth about what really was going on between Serbia, the Western liberal think tanks at the New School for Social Research and their king, Bill Clinton regarding Kosovo. However, evidently these were the same political science professors such as David PLotke who later tossed me out of graduate school only three weeks prior my anticipated MA graduation date on April 22 1999 at knife point (we all know about my Civil Rights Case against the school#02-99-2132. VIII. I, Jill Starr have always stood up for the right political and social group, the Serbs of course. For it was not the Serbian authorities fault that NATO members and their corrupted politicians with a guilty as hell mens rea instigated and escalated the present ethnic contentions and genocide now occurring in Kosovo today! XV. For this reason it does not surprise me that the semester before I was tossed out of school by POL SCI DEPT. CHAIR David Plotke, during my classes with the renown Robert Latham (from the SSRC in NYC) no one did anything when my Albanian classmate stated in front of many UN Diplomats that he 100% promoted &amp;ldquo;ethnic genocide against the Orthodox Christian Serbs in Kosovo!&amp;rdquo; Of course I reported the incident to both my human rights professor Adamantia Polllis and also the Dept. Chair David Plotke, yet neither of them did a damn thing!What they did do is allow my Albanian classmate to continue going to school and graduate while they decided to throw me out of school and ruin my life to the best of their corrupt abilities!  X. The Albanian classmate of mine even said to me in front of Robert Latham&amp;rsquo;s entire class (FALL 1998) this to me when I said I&amp;rsquo;d like to see a copy of his paper which he said is written to promote ethnic genocide against Orthodox Christian Serbs in Kosovo this&amp;mdash; /&amp;gt;&amp;rdquo;Jill, you will surely die before you ever see my term paper!&amp;rdquo; The New School faculty threw me out and kept the genocidal Albanian on April 22 1999! See attachments!&amp;nbsp;PS: I&amp;rsquo;d like to give some lectures describing this experience in America to my friends in Serbia. David PLotke even came towards me with a swiss army knife!&amp;nbsp;Respectfully,Miss Jill Louise Starr USAPO BOX 635&amp;nbsp;Newfoundland NJ 07435 USA&amp;nbsp;(973) 850-7833Post your own opinion for: ROBERT LATHAMhttp://picasaweb.google.com/lpcyusa</description>

[image][image][image][image] The Definition of a 'war crime' is an entire bloc (gang) of NATO United Nations Member States lying about Serbian 'war crimes' holding the country back, and its citizenry, from future generations having a better standard of living and basic human needs, by using economic sanctions, EU threats etc. to cover up their own political crimes; also against Republika Srpska too.The ICTY has given NO media coverage to this matter of fact. The ICTY only covers alleged crimes that they claim are committed by "Serbs" against Muslims.The ICTY also gives no coverage (media) whatsoever to the crimes listed here I posted against Serbs by Croatia (Such As These).http://picasaweb.google.com/lpcyusa/PhotoEvidenceOfCroatianWarCrimesAgainstSerbia# (please visit this link to view more).&#xD;

Illegal imports of weapons, formations of paramilitary forces and armament of members of the party possessing the most national power serve to establish a totalitarian chauvinist regime which directly threatens the human rights, democratic developments and peace in the former Yugoslavia. Such a systematic state political policy was instituted by the Croatian governmental regime and culminated in Croatia's unilateral declaration of independence, whereby methods of torture were inflicted upon countless civilians in the "state" referred to as "Croatian Democracy." Serbs were tortured systematically by this Croatian state model largely forgotten and covered up by the international community, the UN Security Council and America especially.&#xD;

This documentary photo evidence against Croatia was given to me by General Ratko Mladic in Beograd Serbia 2002. Self Explainatory. I just wonder wherefore Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is NOT releases this evidence on Serbia's behalf and I have to do her job for her (?) I Will Continue To Release Additional Evidences Daily Against Croatia Until the Hague's Highest Court Learns to Play By International Legal Rules in the War Crimes Cases Against MLadic &amp;amp; Karadzic.&#xD;

[image][image][image][image] The Definition of a 'war crime' is an entire bloc (gang) of NATO United Nations Member States lying about Serbian 'war crimes' holding the country back, and its citizenry, from future generations having a better standard of living and basic human needs, by using economic sanctions, EU threats etc. to cover up their own political crimes; also against Republika Srpska too.The ICTY has given NO media coverage to this matter of fact.

Illegal imports of weapons, formations of paramilitary forces and armament of members of the party possessing the most national power serve to establish a totalitarian chauvinist regime which directly threatens the human rights, democratic developments and peace in the former Yugoslavia. Such a systematic state political policy was instituted by the Croatian governmental regime and culminated in Croatia's unilateral declaration of independence, whereby methods of torture were inflicted upon countless civilians in the "state" referred to as "Croatian Democracy." Serbs were tortured systematically by this Croatian state model largely forgotten and covered up by the international community, the UN Security Council and America especially.&#xD;

This documentary photo evidence against Croatia was given to me by General Ratko Mladic in Beograd Serbia 2002. Self Explainatory. I just wonder wherefore Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is NOT releases this evidence on Serbia's behalf and I have to do her job for her (?) I Will Continue To Release Additional Evidences Daily Against Croatia Until the Hague's Highest Court Learns to Play By International Legal Rules in the War Crimes Cases Against MLadic &amp;amp; Karadzic.&#xD;

I can relate to this poor Serbian woman in fear for her life needing to keep a 'Kalashnyikov' weapon by her side in her own kitchen while cooking. This is exactly what it is like in Bloomingdale, NJ USA! J Starr-&amp;gt; I cannot wait to get out of this town.&#xD;

Illegal imports of weapons, formations of paramilitary forces and armament of members of the party possessing the most national power serve to establish a totalitarian chauvinist regime which directly threatens the human rights, democratic developments and peace in the former Yugoslavia. Such a systematic state political policy was instituted by the Croatian governmental regime and culminated in Croatia's unilateral declaration of independence, whereby methods of torture were inflicted upon countless civilians in the "state" referred to as "Croatian Democracy." Serbs were tortured systematically by this Croatian state model largely forgotten and covered up by the international community, the UN Security Council and America especially.&#xD;

This documentary photo evidence against Croatia was given to me by General Ratko Mladic in Beograd Serbia 2002. Self Explainatory. I just wonder wherefore Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is NOT releases this evidence on Serbia's behalf and I have to do her job for her (?) I Will Continue To Release Additional Evidences Daily Against Croatia Until the Hague's Highest Court Learns to Play By International Legal Rules in the War Crimes Cases Against MLadic &amp;amp; Karadzic.&#xD;

Additional Proof West Milford Police Tried To Kill Me &#xD;
[image]&#xD;
It was in this emergency snow storm in the late 1990s when I was attending William Paterson College in Wayne NJ I was living where this photo was taken on the corners of Route 23 North &amp;amp; Oak Ridge Road in West Milford NJ USA. This was taken on the corner stated where George Struss owns a car lot and rents small apartments.  It was during this state of emergency snow storm I had walked out of my apartment next to the bagel store in merely a dress and sweater because the bagel store was right next store to me. It was like walking out my front door into my neighborss but I had made a terrible mistake.  I had also placed my house keys and entire key ring in my car to warm it up but I had accidentally locked all my keys into my locked running black car as seen.  I also was locked out of my house in this storm.  I walked next store to the bagel store to call the West Milford police to help me jimmy my car door open so I could recover my keys and get into both my apartment and car safely.  The police came and saw my condition freezing and barely dressed in this storm in which the State of NJ was declared in a &amp;ldquo;state of emergency.&amp;rdquo;  The West Milford police said they would not belp me and left me freezing in the storm half dead.  Someone finally got me help  Jill Starr&#xD;

By ROBERTA FUGATErjfugate@njherald.comVERNON &amp;mdash; Three Republicans and two Independents will compete for three seats on the Vernon Township Committee in Tuesday&amp;rsquo;s election. Republicans Harry Shortway and Michael Pier are running together to compete with Independent candidate Mary Ellen Vichiconti to fill two four-year terms on the committee. Mayor Austin Carew is not seeking re-election and Gary Grey&amp;rsquo;s tenure as Neil Desmond&amp;rsquo;s replacement on the committee will end this year. Republican Craig Benda will face off against Independent Sally Rinker to fill the remaining two years of Glenn McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s term. McLaughlin resigned from the committee earlier this year. Paul Emilius was appointed earlier this year to fill McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s seat until a court decision ruled the appointment null and void. Candidates Craig Benda and Michael Pier did not return messages requesting interviews. &amp;ldquo;Trust in the government is the big issue facing Vernon,&amp;rdquo; said Shortway, 51, who has lived in Vernon for 17 years. &amp;ldquo;Once you get faith and trust and work with the people, things will fall into place.&amp;rdquo;If elected to the committee, Shortway said his goals will be to control taxes and spend the township&amp;rsquo;s money more efficiently. Shortway said as a committee member he would think outside the box for ideas to deal with the issues facing Vernon.Shortway is a retired police officer who teaches history at Jefferson Township. He and wife Cherie have four children.He said his previous experience as a vice president and president of the Police Benevolent Association, along with dealing with federal agencies, prepared him to deal with the bureaucracies of politics. &amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t be on the sidelines complaining. You&amp;rsquo;ve got to get into the game,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;I want to get into the game.&amp;rdquo;Shortway said he believes Vernon is a great place to live, work and play because of the residents who live there and the beauty that surrounds it. &amp;ldquo;We stay in Vernon because it&amp;rsquo;s simply beautiful,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But above all else it&amp;rsquo;s always been the people.&amp;rdquo;Mary Ellen Vichiconti also has lived in Vernon for 17 years. &amp;nbsp;An Independent candidate, she said does not feel the current council is representing the average Vernon resident. &amp;ldquo;I attend most of the council meetings and I do not like what has been going on in terms of representation for the average Vernon resident,&amp;rdquo; Vichiconti said. &amp;ldquo;We expect responsible and competent government for our town, which is basically a middle class community filled with hard-working residents and seniors.&amp;rdquo;Vichiconti said her history of challenging council decisions regarding everything from the budget to COAH obligations makes her a good candidate for the council position. &amp;nbsp;Vichiconti, 57, is a special education teacher and lives in Lake Wanda. She and husband, Steven, have two children. Her community involvement includes the Lake Wanda Property Owners Association, Girl Scouts, the Vernon Taxpayers Association, Harvest House, the Salvation Army and the Skylands League of Women Voters. &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I have no ax to grind,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;I just have a vision of town where people get along better and where we can all come to the table and find some common ground.&amp;rdquo;Sally Rinker lost to Pier in the primary as a Republican and decided to run as an Independent for McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s seat after Craig Benda was chosen by the Republican Committee to vie for the spot.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I am deeply concerned about our community,&amp;rdquo; Rinker said. &amp;ldquo;I strongly believe we are at a crossroads with the ever increasing need for a commercial tax base to offset the tax burden on our residents.&amp;rdquo;There must be fiscal responsibility and a halt to unnecessary spending, she added.&amp;ldquo;We need leadership willing to work to turn the wheels in the right direction.&amp;rdquo;Rinker, 54, said her experience with planning, budgeting, management and short- and long-term goal setting she has gained while owning her own construction company in Vernon for 25 years will offer a much needed set of skills to the council. She added her experience with various state agencies, including the departments of transportation and environmental protection and the Council on Affordable Housing, along with a variety of local and county agencies, gives her a leg up over her competition. &amp;nbsp;he biggest challenges facing Vernon, she said, are &amp;ldquo;Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.&amp;rdquo;She said Vernon is faced with the same challenges as every other municipality in the current economy. &amp;ldquo;This is the time for us to be the most frugal, to be choosy about the way we spend money.&amp;rdquo;&amp;ldquo;I consider myself one of the luckiest persons to live and work in such a beautiful environment,&amp;rdquo; Rinker said. &amp;ldquo;Why not be able to have the perfect balance between wanting to live here and being able to afford to live here?&amp;rdquo;&amp;ldquo;We have so much to be proud of. With expert planning, fiscal responsibility and hard work, we will see a more prosperous and secure future for our residents.&amp;rdquo; Created: 10/28/2009  |  Updated: 10/29/2009============================================================================================COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp;amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp;amp; PETER VAN GILSTWednesday, April 15, 200912:07 PM 9/19/2009http://www.eubusiness.com/Members/lpcyu/nj-detective-harry-shortway-junior-dares-making-a-run-for-political-office-in-vernon-nj-five-vie-for-three-vernon-seats-warning-to-votersIt is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in theNetherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America. I hope it will set an international precedent even in America people are abused by their own public elected government officials.I am fully convinced now, that after a decade of asking the American legal governmental authorities (local, state and federal levels) to arrest and try, Detective Harry Shortway, and his corrupt law enforcement associte, Sgt. Laughlin, in a court of law in America for attempting to murder me; moreover physically and emotionally torturing me and my family in 1990/1991,it is clear,the United States of America is either unwilling OR incapable of taking the bold moral measures to arrest Harry Shortway and his associates; ensurng he receives a fair trial here in America. Similarly to American diplomats such as, Hillary Clinton, ironally accusing Serbia of not submitting General Mladic to the Hague ICTY, for trial.Hypocritical America, don&amp;rsquo;t you agree (?)This makes a mockery of genuine human rights insofar in America. Equally,manifesting extremely gross violations of human rights against me by those I accuse of attempting to commit "ethnic genocide" against me; case in point, West Milford NJ(USA) Detective Harry Shortway who allegedly wanted to murder me owing to myderiving from an ethinc Jewish family background and was then married to an "AFricanAmerican" black man.Detective Harry Shortway has personal "Nazi" fascist affiliations with the NationalAlliance KKK group) abiding in Hewitt NJ (A town located in West Milford Township inNorthern NJ).The crime of attempted "genocide" was commited against me only thirty minutes fromthe United Nations Security Council, in Manhattan.I, Jill Starr am an American citizen previously writing the UN about this in the early 1990s.All together now, let&amp;rsquo;s remember the crime of &amp;lsquo;genocide,&amp;rsquo; in and of itself, can be defined as either an attempt to kill one, OR thousands, of members of any specificethnic/religious group.More to come on this story.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------More to come on this story.-I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE, HIS SGT. LAUGHLIN ASSOCIATES AS WELL AS OTHER OF HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES).1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).SGT. LAUGHLIN WAS LAST SEEN BY ME IN BACK OF RYAN MACHINE COMPANY IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOUSE I FORMERLY RENTED WITH MY EX-HUSBAND AND MY FAMILY, OFF MACOPIN ROAD IN WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY YANKING ME BY MY LONG HAIR AND BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST HIS POLICE CAR WHILE HIS ROCKIE PARTNER COP WATCHED.THEN HE SHOVED ME INTO HIS POLICE CAR, AND, HANDCUFFING ME, HE CONTINUED TIGHTENING THE HANDCUFFS AROUND MY WRISTS, UNTIL THEY BEGAN BLEEDING IN PAIN.WHILE I CRIED OUT IN AGONY AND TEARS FOR HIM TO STOP, SGT LAUGHLIN SAID NOTING; HE CONTINUED LAUGHING AT ME WHILE LOOKING AT ME CRYING IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS POLICE CAR. HE PROCEEDED DRIVING ME TO UP TO THE WEST MILFORD POLICE STATION WHERE DETECTIVE HARRY J SHORTWAY (JUNIOR), WAS WAITING.I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE), PETER VAN GILST (DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY'S PARTNER IN SO-CALLED "LAW ENFORCEMENT" AND/OR CRIMINAL TORTURE/ABUSE OF WOMEN), AS WELL AS SGT. LAUGHLIN.1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED WAVY HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).THIS FINANCIAL REWARD IS CONTINGENT UPON ANY FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT I MAY RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE FROM THE THREE GRADUATE SCHOOLS IN NJ AND ALSO NYC WHICH FORMERLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME ON ACCOUNT THAT I WAS A PERMANENT DISABLED STUDENT IN THE MOST VILE MANNER, ALL WHILE HILLARY CLINTON WHILE ACTING SENATOR OF NEW YORK STATE IGNORED MY MESSAGES ABOUT IT AND CALLS TO HER CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS. .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------HENCE, I WILL OFFER TO SPLIT ANY FINANCIAL REWARD IN THE SUM OF 50% OF ALL AND ANY FUTURE MONEYS I RECEIVE FROM THOSE AFOREMENTIONED COLLEGES (SETON HALL, THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH AND FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY OF NJ) WITH ANY INDIVIDUALS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO HELP BRING THESE RUTHLESS DETECTIVES AND THEIR SGT&amp;rsquo;S TO JUSTICE AS WELL AS JAIL.AND, IF AMERICAN CANNOT FIND THE MORAL AND POLITICAL WILLPOWER TO BRING THEM TO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT IN A COURT OF LAW/TRIAL HERE IN THE USA, I WANT THEM EXTRADITED TO THE HAGUE ICC COURT.In friendship and diplomacy my reputation for honesty proceeds me.All interested party's helping me bring Harry Shortway, Peter Van Gilst and Sgt Laughlin from West Milford NJ to trial at the ICC housed at the Hague, Netherlandscan rest assured I will uphold my end of the reward agreement.I Felt many Times Safer holding hands with, General Ratko Mladic, than I Do Sitting Alone In My apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ USA.As an after thought on my book. I doubt very much that I met Mr. Mladic on a &amp;rdquo;boat restaurant.&amp;rdquo; There was no one else present having dinner. It as more like a living and/or conference setting and seems to me now to be more like a private yacht. I have never really been on one before but it reminded me of photos I&amp;rsquo;ve seen of the interior of Onassis&amp;rsquo;s private yachts.I felt many times more safer sitting with General Ratko Mladic Than I Do Sitting At Home In My Apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ US.Although it may sound foreign to many American citizens, I would feel safer having armed Serbian Army guards acting as my my personal bodyguards and protection here at my house in Bloomingdale, NJ where I rent a small apartment protecting me from the local townships&amp;rsquo; corrupt law enforcement officials and if I had the finances I hire a few.April 2, 2009 6:57 AM-------------------------------------------------------FURTHERMORENeither Mladic nor Karadzic touched me in any manner maliciously UNLIKE theAmerican NJ "detectives" in West Milford who banged my head against a police car over about 5-10 times and laughed at me while they handcuffed me so tight my wrists bled in the squad car. They were serving me with the &amp;rsquo;restraining order&amp;rsquo; my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I evenwent to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the "internal affairs investigation department" at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called "war criminals" in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone&amp;rsquo;s comment at the ICTY.The crime of "attempted genocide" committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police inWest Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their 'Nazi manifesto' to kill all &amp;rdquo;Jews, Russians and Blacks,&amp;rdquo; I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his "detective office" where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying "oh those guys are my friends, I'll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters."Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post OfficeSo I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was &amp;rdquo;insane&amp;rdquo; I may be shot and killed by them because I&amp;rsquo;d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc... it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this isextremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, butof my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !**** END NOTES&#xD;
Harry Shortway originally became angry with me because my ex husband threatened to turn him and his associates into internal affairs Mr. Sorchinski (alias Zoro in the West Milford Police Force of Internal Affairs up there then) for dealing cocaine in the Highcrest Lake area of West Milford.Thereafter, the West Milford Police all of a sudden decided they would try me on about 10 traffic tickets. I was homeless then because they threw me out of my home, gave custody rights of my two children and assisted my ex husband in throwing ALL my property and clothing in the local garbage; even though the Paterson Domestic Violence Courts at that time gave me a court order to have the West Milford Police assist me and help me get my property out of the house I had lived in at Highcrest saftly. In any event, they (West Milford Courts) forced to come to the municipal building for the case.My ex husband new about the cocaine dealing in conjunction with the West Milford Police department because he was living a Treetop Apartments during the time my family moved there when I met my ex husband back, and, when I attended Walter T Bergen School in Bloomingdale NJ as a young 13 year old girl. My husband was into drugs and bought cocaine from Shanahan a former West Milford Police Officer involved and thrown off the police force for cocaine dealing at Treetop Apartments.My ex husband, ANdre Chapman told me he threatened Harry Shortway because he was jealous I thought he was &amp;rdquo;cute&amp;rdquo; and Andre Chapman told me that Harry Shortway was involved in dealing drugs to my ex husband and his friends back at Treetop during those days when I was a yong girl.The West Milford Prosecutor also used a court protected document i.e., my Passaic County Diagnostic Exam in the traffic violations case against me which he later dropped at once when I pointed out it made him in &amp;rdquo;Contempt of Cort&amp;rsquo; in the case for handling it and even for looking at that document which was only allowed for viewing by either myself or my attorneys in my custody case.&#xD;

Republican Craig Benda will face off against Independent Sally Rinker to fill the remaining two years of Glenn McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s term. McLaughlin resigned from the committee earlier this year. Paul Emilius was appointed earlier this year to fill McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s seat until a court decision ruled the appointment null and void. Candidates Craig Benda and Michael Pier did not return messages requesting interviews. &amp;ldquo;Trust in the government is the big issue facing Vernon,&amp;rdquo; said Shortway, 51, who has lived in Vernon for 17 years. &amp;ldquo;Once you get faith and trust and work with the people, things will fall into place.&amp;rdquo;If elected to the committee, Shortway said his goals will be to control taxes and spend the township&amp;rsquo;s money more efficiently. Shortway said as a committee member he would think outside the box for ideas to deal with the issues facing Vernon.Shortway is a retired police officer who teaches history at Jefferson Township. He and wife Cherie have four children.He said his previous experience as a vice president and president of the Police Benevolent Association, along with dealing with federal agencies, prepared him to deal with the bureaucracies of politics. &amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t be on the sidelines complaining. You&amp;rsquo;ve got to get into the game,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;I want to get into the game.&amp;rdquo;Shortway said he believes Vernon is a great place to live, work and play because of the residents who live there and the beauty that surrounds it. &amp;ldquo;We stay in Vernon because it&amp;rsquo;s simply beautiful,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But above all else it&amp;rsquo;s always been the people.&amp;rdquo;Mary Ellen Vichiconti also has lived in Vernon for 17 years. &amp;nbsp;An Independent candidate, she said does not feel the current council is representing the average Vernon resident. &amp;ldquo;I attend most of the council meetings and I do not like what has been going on in terms of representation for the average Vernon resident,&amp;rdquo; Vichiconti said. &amp;ldquo;We expect responsible and competent government for our town, which is basically a middle class community filled with hard-working residents and seniors.&amp;rdquo;Vichiconti said her history of challenging council decisions regarding everything from the budget to COAH obligations makes her a good candidate for the council position. &amp;nbsp;Vichiconti, 57, is a special education teacher and lives in Lake Wanda. She and husband, Steven, have two children. Her community involvement includes the Lake Wanda Property Owners Association, Girl Scouts, the Vernon Taxpayers Association, Harvest House, the Salvation Army and the Skylands League of Women Voters. &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I have no ax to grind,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;I just have a vision of town where people get along better and where we can all come to the table and find some common ground.&amp;rdquo;Sally Rinker lost to Pier in the primary as a Republican and decided to run as an Independent for McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s seat after Craig Benda was chosen by the Republican Committee to vie for the spot.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I am deeply concerned about our community,&amp;rdquo; Rinker said. &amp;ldquo;I strongly believe we are at a crossroads with the ever increasing need for a commercial tax base to offset the tax burden on our residents.&amp;rdquo;There must be fiscal responsibility and a halt to unnecessary spending, she added.&amp;ldquo;We need leadership willing to work to turn the wheels in the right direction.&amp;rdquo;Rinker, 54, said her experience with planning, budgeting, management and short- and long-term goal setting she has gained while owning her own construction company in Vernon for 25 years will offer a much needed set of skills to the council. She added her experience with various state agencies, including the departments of transportation and environmental protection and the Council on Affordable Housing, along with a variety of local and county agencies, gives her a leg up over her competition. &amp;nbsp;he biggest challenges facing Vernon, she said, are &amp;ldquo;Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.&amp;rdquo;She said Vernon is faced with the same challenges as every other municipality in the current economy. &amp;ldquo;This is the time for us to be the most frugal, to be choosy about the way we spend money.&amp;rdquo;&amp;ldquo;I consider myself one of the luckiest persons to live and work in such a beautiful environment,&amp;rdquo; Rinker said. &amp;ldquo;Why not be able to have the perfect balance between wanting to live here and being able to afford to live here?&amp;rdquo;&amp;ldquo;We have so much to be proud of. With expert planning, fiscal responsibility and hard work, we will see a more prosperous and secure future for our residents.&amp;rdquo; Created: 10/28/2009  |  Updated: 10/29/2009============================================================================================COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp;amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp;amp; PETER VAN GILSTWednesday, April 15, 200912:07 PM 9/19/2009http://www.eubusiness.com/Members/lpcyu/nj-detective-harry-shortway-junior-dares-making-a-run-for-political-office-in-vernon-nj-five-vie-for-three-vernon-seats-warning-to-votersIt is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in theNetherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America. I hope it will set an international precedent even in America people are abused by their own public elected government officials.I am fully convinced now, that after a decade of asking the American legal governmental authorities (local, state and federal levels) to arrest and try, Detective Harry Shortway, and his corrupt law enforcement associte, Sgt. Laughlin, in a court of law in America for attempting to murder me; moreover physically and emotionally torturing me and my family in 1990/1991,it is clear,the United States of America is either unwilling OR incapable of taking the bold moral measures to arrest Harry Shortway and his associates; ensurng he receives a fair trial here in America. Similarly to American diplomats such as, Hillary Clinton, ironally accusing Serbia of not submitting General Mladic to the Hague ICTY, for trial.Hypocritical America, don&amp;rsquo;t you agree (?)This makes a mockery of genuine human rights insofar in America. Equally,manifesting extremely gross violations of human rights against me by those I accuse of attempting to commit "ethnic genocide" against me; case in point, West Milford NJ(USA) Detective Harry Shortway who allegedly wanted to murder me owing to myderiving from an ethinc Jewish family background and was then married to an "AFricanAmerican" black man.Detective Harry Shortway has personal "Nazi" fascist affiliations with the NationalAlliance KKK group) abiding in Hewitt NJ (A town located in West Milford Township inNorthern NJ).The crime of attempted "genocide" was commited against me only thirty minutes fromthe United Nations Security Council, in Manhattan.I, Jill Starr am an American citizen previously writing the UN about this in the early 1990s.All together now, let&amp;rsquo;s remember the crime of &amp;lsquo;genocide,&amp;rsquo; in and of itself, can be defined as either an attempt to kill one, OR thousands, of members of any specificethnic/religious group.More to come on this story.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------More to come on this story.-I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE, HIS SGT. LAUGHLIN ASSOCIATES AS WELL AS OTHER OF HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES).1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).SGT. LAUGHLIN WAS LAST SEEN BY ME IN BACK OF RYAN MACHINE COMPANY IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOUSE I FORMERLY RENTED WITH MY EX-HUSBAND AND MY FAMILY, OFF MACOPIN ROAD IN WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY YANKING ME BY MY LONG HAIR AND BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST HIS POLICE CAR WHILE HIS ROCKIE PARTNER COP WATCHED.THEN HE SHOVED ME INTO HIS POLICE CAR, AND, HANDCUFFING ME, HE CONTINUED TIGHTENING THE HANDCUFFS AROUND MY WRISTS, UNTIL THEY BEGAN BLEEDING IN PAIN.WHILE I CRIED OUT IN AGONY AND TEARS FOR HIM TO STOP, SGT LAUGHLIN SAID NOTING; HE CONTINUED LAUGHING AT ME WHILE LOOKING AT ME CRYING IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS POLICE CAR. HE PROCEEDED DRIVING ME TO UP TO THE WEST MILFORD POLICE STATION WHERE DETECTIVE HARRY J SHORTWAY (JUNIOR), WAS WAITING.I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE), PETER VAN GILST (DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY'S PARTNER IN SO-CALLED "LAW ENFORCEMENT" AND/OR CRIMINAL TORTURE/ABUSE OF WOMEN), AS WELL AS SGT. LAUGHLIN.1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED WAVY HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).THIS FINANCIAL REWARD IS CONTINGENT UPON ANY FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT I MAY RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE FROM THE THREE GRADUATE SCHOOLS IN NJ AND ALSO NYC WHICH FORMERLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME ON ACCOUNT THAT I WAS A PERMANENT DISABLED STUDENT IN THE MOST VILE MANNER, ALL WHILE HILLARY CLINTON WHILE ACTING SENATOR OF NEW YORK STATE IGNORED MY MESSAGES ABOUT IT AND CALLS TO HER CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS. .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------HENCE, I WILL OFFER TO SPLIT ANY FINANCIAL REWARD IN THE SUM OF 50% OF ALL AND ANY FUTURE MONEYS I RECEIVE FROM THOSE AFOREMENTIONED COLLEGES (SETON HALL, THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH AND FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY OF NJ) WITH ANY INDIVIDUALS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO HELP BRING THESE RUTHLESS DETECTIVES AND THEIR SGT&amp;rsquo;S TO JUSTICE AS WELL AS JAIL.AND, IF AMERICAN CANNOT FIND THE MORAL AND POLITICAL WILLPOWER TO BRING THEM TO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT IN A COURT OF LAW/TRIAL HERE IN THE USA, I WANT THEM EXTRADITED TO THE HAGUE ICC COURT.In friendship and diplomacy my reputation for honesty proceeds me.All interested party's helping me bring Harry Shortway, Peter Van Gilst and Sgt Laughlin from West Milford NJ to trial at the ICC housed at the Hague, Netherlandscan rest assured I will uphold my end of the reward agreement.I Felt many Times Safer holding hands with, General Ratko Mladic, than I Do Sitting Alone In My apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ USA.As an after thought on my book. I doubt very much that I met Mr. Mladic on a &amp;rdquo;boat restaurant.&amp;rdquo; There was no one else present having dinner. It as more like a living and/or conference setting and seems to me now to be more like a private yacht. I have never really been on one before but it reminded me of photos I&amp;rsquo;ve seen of the interior of Onassis&amp;rsquo;s private yachts.I felt many times more safer sitting with General Ratko Mladic Than I Do Sitting At Home In My Apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ US.Although it may sound foreign to many American citizens, I would feel safer having armed Serbian Army guards acting as my my personal bodyguards and protection here at my house in Bloomingdale, NJ where I rent a small apartment protecting me from the local townships&amp;rsquo; corrupt law enforcement officials and if I had the finances I hire a few.April 2, 2009 6:57 AM-------------------------------------------------------FURTHERMORENeither Mladic nor Karadzic touched me in any manner maliciously UNLIKE theAmerican NJ "detectives" in West Milford who banged my head against a police car over about 5-10 times and laughed at me while they handcuffed me so tight my wrists bled in the squad car. They were serving me with the &amp;rsquo;restraining order&amp;rsquo; my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I evenwent to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the "internal affairs investigation department" at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called "war criminals" in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone&amp;rsquo;s comment at the ICTY.The crime of "attempted genocide" committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police inWest Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their 'Nazi manifesto' to kill all &amp;rdquo;Jews, Russians and Blacks,&amp;rdquo; I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his "detective office" where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying "oh those guys are my friends, I'll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters."Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post OfficeSo I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was &amp;rdquo;insane&amp;rdquo; I may be shot and killed by them because I&amp;rsquo;d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc... it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this isextremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, butof my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !**** END NOTES&#xD;
Harry Shortway originally became angry with me because my ex husband threatened to turn him and his associates into internal affairs Mr. Sorchinski (alias Zoro in the West Milford Police Force of Internal Affairs up there then) for dealing cocaine in the Highcrest Lake area of West Milford.Thereafter, the West Milford Police all of a sudden decided they would try me on about 10 traffic tickets. I was homeless then because they threw me out of my home, gave custody rights of my two children and assisted my ex husband in throwing ALL my property and clothing in the local garbage; even though the Paterson Domestic Violence Courts at that time gave me a court order to have the West Milford Police assist me and help me get my property out of the house I had lived in at Highcrest saftly. In any event, they (West Milford Courts) forced to come to the municipal building for the case.My ex husband new about the cocaine dealing in conjunction with the West Milford Police department because he was living a Treetop Apartments during the time my family moved there when I met my ex husband back, and, when I attended Walter T Bergen School in Bloomingdale NJ as a young 13 year old girl. My husband was into drugs and bought cocaine from Shanahan a former West Milford Police Officer involved and thrown off the police force for cocaine dealing at Treetop Apartments.My ex husband, ANdre Chapman told me he threatened Harry Shortway because he was jealous I thought he was &amp;rdquo;cute&amp;rdquo; and Andre Chapman told me that Harry Shortway was involved in dealing drugs to my ex husband and his friends back at Treetop during those days when I was a yong girl.The West Milford Prosecutor also used a court protected document i.e., my Passaic County Diagnostic Exam in the traffic violations case against me which he later dropped at once when I pointed out it made him in &amp;rdquo;Contempt of Cort&amp;rsquo; in the case for handling it and even for looking at that document which was only allowed for viewing by either myself or my attorneys in my custody case.&#xD;

I had also called them simultaneously because Brant Snell and his brother were threatening me all day attempting to get me to leave my apartment; neither men filed legal eviction procedings agsainst me.Sgt, Laughlin and co-conspiritors arrived on the scene proceding to cut my phone line at the Snell&amp;rsquo;s, then proceeding to threaten me outside my apartment.

By ROBERTA FUGATErjfugate@njherald.comVERNON &amp;mdash; Three Republicans and two Independents will compete for three seats on the Vernon Township Committee in Tuesday&amp;rsquo;s election. Republicans Harry Shortway and Michael Pier are running together to compete with Independent candidate Mary Ellen Vichiconti to fill two four-year terms on the committee. Mayor Austin Carew is not seeking re-election and Gary Grey&amp;rsquo;s tenure as Neil Desmond&amp;rsquo;s replacement on the committee will end this year. Republican Craig Benda will face off against Independent Sally Rinker to fill the remaining two years of Glenn McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s term. McLaughlin resigned from the committee earlier this year. Paul Emilius was appointed earlier this year to fill McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s seat until a court decision ruled the appointment null and void. Candidates Craig Benda and Michael Pier did not return messages requesting interviews. &amp;ldquo;Trust in the government is the big issue facing Vernon,&amp;rdquo; said Shortway, 51, who has lived in Vernon for 17 years. &amp;ldquo;Once you get faith and trust and work with the people, things will fall into place.&amp;rdquo;If elected to the committee, Shortway said his goals will be to control taxes and spend the township&amp;rsquo;s money more efficiently. Shortway said as a committee member he would think outside the box for ideas to deal with the issues facing Vernon.Shortway is a retired police officer who teaches history at Jefferson Township. He and wife Cherie have four children.He said his previous experience as a vice president and president of the Police Benevolent Association, along with dealing with federal agencies, prepared him to deal with the bureaucracies of politics. &amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t be on the sidelines complaining. You&amp;rsquo;ve got to get into the game,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;I want to get into the game.&amp;rdquo;Shortway said he believes Vernon is a great place to live, work and play because of the residents who live there and the beauty that surrounds it. &amp;ldquo;We stay in Vernon because it&amp;rsquo;s simply beautiful,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But above all else it&amp;rsquo;s always been the people.&amp;rdquo;Mary Ellen Vichiconti also has lived in Vernon for 17 years. &amp;nbsp;An Independent candidate, she said does not feel the current council is representing the average Vernon resident. &amp;ldquo;I attend most of the council meetings and I do not like what has been going on in terms of representation for the average Vernon resident,&amp;rdquo; Vichiconti said. &amp;ldquo;We expect responsible and competent government for our town, which is basically a middle class community filled with hard-working residents and seniors.&amp;rdquo;Vichiconti said her history of challenging council decisions regarding everything from the budget to COAH obligations makes her a good candidate for the council position. &amp;nbsp;Vichiconti, 57, is a special education teacher and lives in Lake Wanda. She and husband, Steven, have two children. Her community involvement includes the Lake Wanda Property Owners Association, Girl Scouts, the Vernon Taxpayers Association, Harvest House, the Salvation Army and the Skylands League of Women Voters. &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I have no ax to grind,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;I just have a vision of town where people get along better and where we can all come to the table and find some common ground.&amp;rdquo;Sally Rinker lost to Pier in the primary as a Republican and decided to run as an Independent for McLaughlin&amp;rsquo;s seat after Craig Benda was chosen by the Republican Committee to vie for the spot.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;I am deeply concerned about our community,&amp;rdquo; Rinker said. &amp;ldquo;I strongly believe we are at a crossroads with the ever increasing need for a commercial tax base to offset the tax burden on our residents.&amp;rdquo;There must be fiscal responsibility and a halt to unnecessary spending, she added.&amp;ldquo;We need leadership willing to work to turn the wheels in the right direction.&amp;rdquo;Rinker, 54, said her experience with planning, budgeting, management and short- and long-term goal setting she has gained while owning her own construction company in Vernon for 25 years will offer a much needed set of skills to the council. She added her experience with various state agencies, including the departments of transportation and environmental protection and the Council on Affordable Housing, along with a variety of local and county agencies, gives her a leg up over her competition. &amp;nbsp;he biggest challenges facing Vernon, she said, are &amp;ldquo;Taxes.

With expert planning, fiscal responsibility and hard work, we will see a more prosperous and secure future for our residents.&amp;rdquo; Created: 10/28/2009  |  Updated: 10/29/2009============================================================================================COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp;amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp;amp; PETER VAN GILSTWednesday, April 15, 200912:07 PM 9/19/2009http://www.eubusiness.com/Members/lpcyu/nj-detective-harry-shortway-junior-dares-making-a-run-for-political-office-in-vernon-nj-five-vie-for-three-vernon-seats-warning-to-votersIt is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in theNetherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America. I hope it will set an international precedent even in America people are abused by their own public elected government officials.I am fully convinced now, that after a decade of asking the American legal governmental authorities (local, state and federal levels) to arrest and try, Detective Harry Shortway, and his corrupt law enforcement associte, Sgt. Laughlin, in a court of law in America for attempting to murder me; moreover physically and emotionally torturing me and my family in 1990/1991,it is clear,the United States of America is either unwilling OR incapable of taking the bold moral measures to arrest Harry Shortway and his associates; ensurng he receives a fair trial here in America. Similarly to American diplomats such as, Hillary Clinton, ironally accusing Serbia of not submitting General Mladic to the Hague ICTY, for trial.Hypocritical America, don&amp;rsquo;t you agree (?)This makes a mockery of genuine human rights insofar in America. Equally,manifesting extremely gross violations of human rights against me by those I accuse of attempting to commit "ethnic genocide" against me; case in point, West Milford NJ(USA) Detective Harry Shortway who allegedly wanted to murder me owing to myderiving from an ethinc Jewish family background and was then married to an "AFricanAmerican" black man.Detective Harry Shortway has personal "Nazi" fascist affiliations with the NationalAlliance KKK group) abiding in Hewitt NJ (A town located in West Milford Township inNorthern NJ).The crime of attempted "genocide" was commited against me only thirty minutes fromthe United Nations Security Council, in Manhattan.I, Jill Starr am an American citizen previously writing the UN about this in the early 1990s.All together now, let&amp;rsquo;s remember the crime of &amp;lsquo;genocide,&amp;rsquo; in and of itself, can be defined as either an attempt to kill one, OR thousands, of members of any specificethnic/religious group.More to come on this story.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------More to come on this story.-I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE, HIS SGT. LAUGHLIN ASSOCIATES AS WELL AS OTHER OF HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES).1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).SGT. LAUGHLIN WAS LAST SEEN BY ME IN BACK OF RYAN MACHINE COMPANY IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOUSE I FORMERLY RENTED WITH MY EX-HUSBAND AND MY FAMILY, OFF MACOPIN ROAD IN WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY YANKING ME BY MY LONG HAIR AND BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST HIS POLICE CAR WHILE HIS ROCKIE PARTNER COP WATCHED.THEN HE SHOVED ME INTO HIS POLICE CAR, AND, HANDCUFFING ME, HE CONTINUED TIGHTENING THE HANDCUFFS AROUND MY WRISTS, UNTIL THEY BEGAN BLEEDING IN PAIN.WHILE I CRIED OUT IN AGONY AND TEARS FOR HIM TO STOP, SGT LAUGHLIN SAID NOTING; HE CONTINUED LAUGHING AT ME WHILE LOOKING AT ME CRYING IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS POLICE CAR. HE PROCEEDED DRIVING ME TO UP TO THE WEST MILFORD POLICE STATION WHERE DETECTIVE HARRY J SHORTWAY (JUNIOR), WAS WAITING.I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE), PETER VAN GILST (DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY'S PARTNER IN SO-CALLED "LAW ENFORCEMENT" AND/OR CRIMINAL TORTURE/ABUSE OF WOMEN), AS WELL AS SGT. LAUGHLIN.1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED WAVY HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).THIS FINANCIAL REWARD IS CONTINGENT UPON ANY FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT I MAY RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE FROM THE THREE GRADUATE SCHOOLS IN NJ AND ALSO NYC WHICH FORMERLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME ON ACCOUNT THAT I WAS A PERMANENT DISABLED STUDENT IN THE MOST VILE MANNER, ALL WHILE HILLARY CLINTON WHILE ACTING SENATOR OF NEW YORK STATE IGNORED MY MESSAGES ABOUT IT AND CALLS TO HER CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS. .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------HENCE, I WILL OFFER TO SPLIT ANY FINANCIAL REWARD IN THE SUM OF 50% OF ALL AND ANY FUTURE MONEYS I RECEIVE FROM THOSE AFOREMENTIONED COLLEGES (SETON HALL, THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH AND FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY OF NJ) WITH ANY INDIVIDUALS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO HELP BRING THESE RUTHLESS DETECTIVES AND THEIR SGT&amp;rsquo;S TO JUSTICE AS WELL AS JAIL.AND, IF AMERICAN CANNOT FIND THE MORAL AND POLITICAL WILLPOWER TO BRING THEM TO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT IN A COURT OF LAW/TRIAL HERE IN THE USA, I WANT THEM EXTRADITED TO THE HAGUE ICC COURT.In friendship and diplomacy my reputation for honesty proceeds me.All interested party's helping me bring Harry Shortway, Peter Van Gilst and Sgt Laughlin from West Milford NJ to trial at the ICC housed at the Hague, Netherlandscan rest assured I will uphold my end of the reward agreement.I Felt many Times Safer holding hands with, General Ratko Mladic, than I Do Sitting Alone In My apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ USA.As an after thought on my book. I doubt very much that I met Mr. Mladic on a &amp;rdquo;boat restaurant.&amp;rdquo; There was no one else present having dinner. It as more like a living and/or conference setting and seems to me now to be more like a private yacht. I have never really been on one before but it reminded me of photos I&amp;rsquo;ve seen of the interior of Onassis&amp;rsquo;s private yachts.I felt many times more safer sitting with General Ratko Mladic Than I Do Sitting At Home In My Apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ US.Although it may sound foreign to many American citizens, I would feel safer having armed Serbian Army guards acting as my my personal bodyguards and protection here at my house in Bloomingdale, NJ where I rent a small apartment protecting me from the local townships&amp;rsquo; corrupt law enforcement officials and if I had the finances I hire a few.April 2, 2009 6:57 AM-------------------------------------------------------FURTHERMORENeither Mladic nor Karadzic touched me in any manner maliciously UNLIKE theAmerican NJ "detectives" in West Milford who banged my head against a police car over about 5-10 times and laughed at me while they handcuffed me so tight my wrists bled in the squad car. They were serving me with the &amp;rsquo;restraining order&amp;rsquo; my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I evenwent to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the "internal affairs investigation department" at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called "war criminals" in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone&amp;rsquo;s comment at the ICTY.The crime of "attempted genocide" committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police inWest Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their 'Nazi manifesto' to kill all &amp;rdquo;Jews, Russians and Blacks,&amp;rdquo; I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his "detective office" where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying "oh those guys are my friends, I'll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters."Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post OfficeSo I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was &amp;rdquo;insane&amp;rdquo; I may be shot and killed by them because I&amp;rsquo;d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc... it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this isextremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, butof my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !**** END NOTES&#xD;
Harry Shortway originally became angry with me because my ex husband threatened to turn him and his associates into internal affairs Mr. Sorchinski (alias Zoro in the West Milford Police Force of Internal Affairs up there then) for dealing cocaine in the Highcrest Lake area of West Milford.Thereafter, the West Milford Police all of a sudden decided they would try me on about 10 traffic tickets. I was homeless then because they threw me out of my home, gave custody rights of my two children and assisted my ex husband in throwing ALL my property and clothing in the local garbage; even though the Paterson Domestic Violence Courts at that time gave me a court order to have the West Milford Police assist me and help me get my property out of the house I had lived in at Highcrest saftly. In any event, they (West Milford Courts) forced to come to the municipal building for the case.My ex husband new about the cocaine dealing in conjunction with the West Milford Police department because he was living a Treetop Apartments during the time my family moved there when I met my ex husband back, and, when I attended Walter T Bergen School in Bloomingdale NJ as a young 13 year old girl. My husband was into drugs and bought cocaine from Shanahan a former West Milford Police Officer involved and thrown off the police force for cocaine dealing at Treetop Apartments.My ex husband, ANdre Chapman told me he threatened Harry Shortway because he was jealous I thought he was &amp;rdquo;cute&amp;rdquo; and Andre Chapman told me that Harry Shortway was involved in dealing drugs to my ex husband and his friends back at Treetop during those days when I was a yong girl.The West Milford Prosecutor also used a court protected document i.e., my Passaic County Diagnostic Exam in the traffic violations case against me which he later dropped at once when I pointed out it made him in &amp;rdquo;Contempt of Cort&amp;rsquo; in the case for handling it and even for looking at that document which was only allowed for viewing by either myself or my attorneys in my custody case.&#xD;
   May 12, 2009 11:32 AM    [image]    ===========================================================================================Kridel Lawfirm (Clifton, New Jersey) Bribes Andre Chapman (JIll's Ex-Husband) &amp;amp; Brant Snell for False Statements Against HerPosted 3/2/2009 12:05 PM ESTI ask the New Jersey attorney general to disbar:Kridel Law Group in Clifton, New JerseyContact InformationPhone: 973-470-0800Fax: 973-472-1909I originally requested the lawfirm be disbarred from practicing law in the state of New Jersey back when I was attending William Paterson College in New Jersey prior to 1997.It is public information any national news media group in America can prove beyond any doubt, by merely asking for it at the local Pompton Lakes New Jersey Court Clerk:1) James A. Kridel Esq., his lawfirm, the West Milford Prosecutor (at that time between 1991-1997), my former landlord from whom I rented an apartment from, Brant Snell, his brother (joint owner of Snell&amp;rsquo;s property in Bloomingdale NJ, along with Harry Shortway and the West Milford Police Force, committed bribery, conspired to commit extortion with malicious intent against me, and also committed physical acts of terroristic threats against me at the Snell&amp;rsquo;s residence I rented.This occurred when the West Milford police responded to a phone call emanating from Brant Snell and arrived outside my apartment. I had also called them simultaneously because Brant Snell and his brother were threatening me all day attempting to get me to leave my apartment; neither men filed legal eviction procedings agsainst me.Sgt, Laughlin and co-conspiritors arrived on the scene proceding to cut my phone line at the Snell&amp;rsquo;s, then proceeding to threaten me outside my apartment. The police on the scene included red haired Sgt. Laughlin formerly beating my head against his squad car in West Milford NJ when taking custody of my two children from me giving custody to my ex husband, Andre Chapman.All men involved i nthis incident malicously intended endangering my life, reputation and well being; they sucessed. They also succeeded causing irreparable and permanant emotional harm forever to my two children now adults; my son currently having a son of his own.Both men, my ex-husband Andre Chapman along with former landlord Brant Snell admitted their guilt openly in Pompton Lakes Court before the presiding judge then.Andre Chapman, my ex husband admitted committing this vile crime against me and my two children to gain continunal custody rights over my two children at that time, and, Brant Snell for wanting to evict me from my apartment because I would not have sex with him when I was a student at that time when I rented from him. And, owing to my police report I filed stating the truth: that he illegally entered my upstairs apartment from his house attempting on numerous occasion to have sexual relations with me and abuse me against my will through intimidation. Brant Snell also refused to allow me to lock my upstairs apartment and entered at his own will for several nights.Harry Shortway told me he strongly suspected Brant Snell and his friend from Vernon NJ having to do with the Vernon New Jersey rapist/murders that occured at, Waywayanda State Park in West Milford NJ. Harry Shortway asked me to see what evidence I could get to him against Snell from my apartment leading up to his attic.I did and it was very suspicous. Snell kept old newspaper clippings of the rapes and murders etc.. Shortway never arrested either man. SNell&amp;rsquo;s friend even told me he was up at the Waywaynda Park harrassing women at that time.The judge fined my ex husband, warning both men and Kridel himself.The NJ State Attorney General then, completely ignored my complaints afterwhich. I drove to Fort Dix Military Base complaining to the internal affairs officer who told me that Harry Shortway was affiliated with too powerful an organization for him to do anyting to help me.The Kridel lawfirm was allowed to continue practicing their so-called &amp;ldquo;law&amp;rdquo; in the state of NJ.More to Come on them but I was slandered forever and my reputation ruined because my ex husband had told Kridel lawfirm that &amp;ldquo;My Wife Jill Starr has a gun and she will use it.&amp;rdquo;I never did and it was a lie!And they wanted to either kill me and/or prove I was too unstable mentally to stand before the Int&amp;rsquo;l Criminal Court for Serbia (?)Obviously YES!And, I often admit wondering in the post 1999 Kosovo environment when and if:Bill Clinton will send NATO to the west Milford and/or Bloomingdale NJ Municipal Buildings for committing egregious violations of human rights and genocide against Jews, blacks and Russians in the State of NJ and in Passaic County in general.&#xD;
&#xD;
 Interneral Affairs Official Bill Sorchinki in West Milford Confirmed My Life Was Endangered In Reference TO Harry Shortway After House Incident&#xD;
Soon after Harry Shortway , West Milford Detective) placed an add in the local newspaper attempting to meet me and kill me as stated in my blog. William Sorchinki came and picked me up in his undercover police car in Pompton Lakes NJ and brought me to an undercover federal warehouse filled with federal agents in Pompton Lakes NJ USA for questioning on the matter. Sorchinski confirmed in this federal meeting (I can show anyone where this secret federal warehouse is in Pompton Lakes NJ), he told me under no uncertain terms because of my relationship with Detective Harry Shortway my life was in danger and I was to have no further contact with Harry who told me himself he may end up in jail over this entire incident. My two children are witnesses to this matter of fact.</media:description>

(2002 August)http://lpcyu.instablogs.com/entry/the-two-gifts-books-general-ratko-mladic-gave-to-me-2002-on-my-summer-vacation/"The next day I woke up around mid morning feeling depressed so&amp;nbsp; I went for a walk to a local store picking up some things.&amp;nbsp; Returning to Darko&amp;rsquo;s, we were standing outside his apartment discussing something when I turned seeing Mladic approaching me in full military regalia.&amp;nbsp; We shook hands glad seeing each other.&amp;nbsp; Of all photos I&amp;rsquo;ve seen online, Mladic never looked better than he did then.&amp;nbsp; His military uniform was clean, ironed and he wore every military metal ever earned it seemed to me.&amp;nbsp; He was as honorably decorated as any of the American Joint Chief&amp;rsquo;s of Staff; even wearing his gold colored in sigma upon his green "special" military cap (I never saw him wearing one like it on any online internet photo).&amp;nbsp; He had many gold colored metals hanging from his uniform on the left side by his chest.&amp;nbsp; I was privileged to see him this way; I confess being impressed. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was surprised to say the very least.&amp;nbsp; Darko said to stand next to Mladic insisting on snapping some photos of the two of us.&amp;nbsp; Mladic placed his arm around my shoulder and I his; we both smiled as Darko&amp;nbsp; snapped some photos.&amp;nbsp; When finished Mladic presented me with a gift.&amp;nbsp; The book I posted online for you all to view, signing it to me under the alias name, Sharko thanking me for beautiful times spent together in Beograd.&amp;nbsp; He was so sweet and respectful to me, an American citizen.&amp;nbsp; We embraced and he left as Darko interjected saying we had to hurry to the airport before I miss my flight.

      <title>COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp; PETER VAN GILST</title>

      <description>COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp;amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp;amp; PETER VAN GILSTWednesday, April 15, 200912:07 PM 9/19/2009http://mladickaradzicshortwaystudy.blogspot.com/It is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in theNetherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America. I hope it will set an international precedent even in America people are abused by their own public elected government officials.I am fully convinced now, that after a decade of asking the American legal governmental authorities (local, state and federal levels) to arrest and try, Detective Harry Shortway, and his corrupt law enforcement associte, Sgt. Laughlin, in a court of law in America for attempting to murder me; moreover physically and emotionally torturing me and my family in 1990/1991,it is clear,the United States of America is either unwilling OR incapable of taking the bold moral measures to arrest Harry Shortway and his associates; ensurng he receives a fair trial here in America. Similarly to American diplomats such as, Hillary Clinton, ironally accusing Serbia of not submitting General Mladic to the Hague ICTY, for trial.Hypocritical America, don&amp;rsquo;t you agree (?)This makes a mockery of genuine human rights insofar in America. Equally,manifesting extremely gross violations of human rights against me by those I accuse of attempting to commit "ethnic genocide" against me; case in point, West Milford NJ(USA) Detective Harry Shortway who allegedly wanted to murder me owing to myderiving from an ethinc Jewish family background and was then married to an "AFricanAmerican" black man.Detective Harry Shortway has personal "Nazi" fascist affiliations with the NationalAlliance KKK group) abiding in Hewitt NJ (A town located in West Milford Township inNorthern NJ).The crime of attempted "genocide" was commited against me only thirty minutes fromthe United Nations Security Council, in Manhattan.I, Jill Starr am an American citizen previously writing the UN about this in the early 1990s.All together now, let&amp;rsquo;s remember the crime of &amp;lsquo;genocide,&amp;rsquo; in and of itself, can be defined as either an attempt to kill one, OR thousands, of members of any specificethnic/religious group.More to come on this story.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------More to come on this story.-I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE, HIS SGT. LAUGHLIN ASSOCIATES AS WELL AS OTHER OF HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES).1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).SGT. LAUGHLIN WAS LAST SEEN BY ME IN BACK OF RYAN MACHINE COMPANY IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOUSE I FORMERLY RENTED WITH MY EX-HUSBAND AND MY FAMILY, OFF MACOPIN ROAD IN WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY YANKING ME BY MY LONG HAIR AND BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST HIS POLICE CAR WHILE HIS ROCKIE PARTNER COP WATCHED.THEN HE SHOVED ME INTO HIS POLICE CAR, AND, HANDCUFFING ME, HE CONTINUED TIGHTENING THE HANDCUFFS AROUND MY WRISTS, UNTIL THEY BEGAN BLEEDING IN PAIN.WHILE I CRIED OUT IN AGONY AND TEARS FOR HIM TO STOP, SGT LAUGHLIN SAID NOTING; HE CONTINUED LAUGHING AT ME WHILE LOOKING AT ME CRYING IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS POLICE CAR. HE PROCEEDED DRIVING ME TO UP TO THE WEST MILFORD POLICE STATION WHERE DETECTIVE HARRY J SHORTWAY (JUNIOR), WAS WAITING.I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE), PETER VAN GILST (DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY'S PARTNER IN SO-CALLED "LAW ENFORCEMENT" AND/OR CRIMINAL TORTURE/ABUSE OF WOMEN), AS WELL AS SGT. LAUGHLIN.1) SGT. LAUGHLIN (IS A TALL RED WAVY HAIRED MAN OVER 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SLIM BUILD- HE IS NOT VERY INTELLIGENT).THIS FINANCIAL REWARD IS CONTINGENT UPON ANY FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT I MAY RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE FROM THE THREE GRADUATE SCHOOLS IN NJ AND ALSO NYC WHICH FORMERLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ME ON ACCOUNT THAT I WAS A PERMANENT DISABLED STUDENT IN THE MOST VILE MANNER, ALL WHILE HILLARY CLINTON WHILE ACTING SENATOR OF NEW YORK STATE IGNORED MY MESSAGES ABOUT IT AND CALLS TO HER CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS. .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------HENCE, I WILL OFFER TO SPLIT ANY FINANCIAL REWARD IN THE SUM OF 50% OF ALL AND ANY FUTURE MONEYS I RECEIVE FROM THOSE AFOREMENTIONED COLLEGES (SETON HALL, THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH AND FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY OF NJ) WITH ANY INDIVIDUALS COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO HELP BRING THESE RUTHLESS DETECTIVES AND THEIR SGT&amp;rsquo;S TO JUSTICE AS WELL AS JAIL.AND, IF AMERICAN CANNOT FIND THE MORAL AND POLITICAL WILLPOWER TO BRING THEM TO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT IN A COURT OF LAW/TRIAL HERE IN THE USA, I WANT THEM EXTRADITED TO THE HAGUE ICC COURT.In friendship and diplomacy my reputation for honesty proceeds me.All interested party's helping me bring Harry Shortway, Peter Van Gilst and Sgt Laughlin from West Milford NJ to trial at the ICC housed at the Hague, Netherlandscan rest assured I will uphold my end of the reward agreement.I Felt many Times Safer holding hands with, General Ratko Mladic, than I Do Sitting Alone In My apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ USA.As an after thought on my book. I doubt very much that I met Mr. Mladic on a &amp;rdquo;boat restaurant.&amp;rdquo; There was no one else present having dinner. It as more like a living and/or conference setting and seems to me now to be more like a private yacht. I have never really been on one before but it reminded me of photos I&amp;rsquo;ve seen of the interior of Onassis&amp;rsquo;s private yachts.I felt many times more safer sitting with General Ratko Mladic Than I Do Sitting At Home In My Apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ US.Although it may sound foreign to many American citizens, I would feel safer having armed Serbian Army guards acting as my my personal bodyguards and protection here at my house in Bloomingdale, NJ where I rent a small apartment protecting me from the local townships&amp;rsquo; corrupt law enforcement officials and if I had the finances I hire a few.April 2, 2009 6:57 AM-------------------------------------------------------FURTHERMORENeither Mladic nor Karadzic touched me in any manner maliciously UNLIKE theAmerican NJ "detectives" in West Milford who banged my head against a police car over about 5-10 times and laughed at me while they handcuffed me so tight my wrists bled in the squad car. They were serving me with the &amp;rsquo;restraining order&amp;rsquo; my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I evenwent to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the "internal affairs investigation department" at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called "war criminals" in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone&amp;rsquo;s comment at the ICTY.The crime of "attempted genocide" committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police inWest Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their 'Nazi manifesto' to kill all &amp;rdquo;Jews, Russians and Blacks,&amp;rdquo; I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his "detective office" where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying "oh those guys are my friends, I'll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters."Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post OfficeSo I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was &amp;rdquo;insane&amp;rdquo; I may be shot and killed by them because I&amp;rsquo;d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc... it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this isextremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, butof my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp;amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp;amp; PETER VAN GILSTWednesday, April 15, 200912:07 PM 9/19/2009http://mladickaradzicshortwaystudy.blogspot.com/It is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in theNetherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America.

They were serving me with the &amp;rsquo;restraining order&amp;rsquo; my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I evenwent to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the "internal affairs investigation department" at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called "war criminals" in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone&amp;rsquo;s comment at the ICTY.The crime of "attempted genocide" committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police inWest Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their 'Nazi manifesto' to kill all &amp;rdquo;Jews, Russians and Blacks,&amp;rdquo; I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his "detective office" where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying "oh those guys are my friends, I'll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters."Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post OfficeSo I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was &amp;rdquo;insane&amp;rdquo; I may be shot and killed by them because I&amp;rsquo;d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc... it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this isextremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, butof my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !</description>

I doubt very much that I met Mr. Mladic on a &amp;rdquo;boat restaurant.&amp;rdquo; There was no one else present having dinner. It as more like a living and/or conference setting and seems to me now to be more like a private yacht. I have never really been on one before but it reminded me of photos I&amp;rsquo;ve seen of the interior of Onassis&amp;rsquo;s private yachts.I felt many times more safer sitting with General Ratko Mladic Than I Do Sitting At Home In My Apartment In Bloomingdale, NJ US.Although it may sound foreign to many American citizens, I would feel safer having armed Serbian Army guards acting as my my personal bodyguards and protection here at my house in Bloomingdale, NJ where I rent a small apartment protecting me from the local townships&amp;rsquo; corrupt law enforcement officials and if I had the finances I hire a few.April 2, 2009 6:57 AM-------------------------------------------------------FURTHERMORENeither Mladic nor Karadzic touched me in any manner maliciously UNLIKE theAmerican NJ "detectives" in West Milford who banged my head against a police car over about 5-10 times and laughed at me while they handcuffed me so tight my wrists bled in the squad car. They were serving me with the &amp;rsquo;restraining order&amp;rsquo; my ex husband filed against me to gain custody of my two children in early 1990/91.In the early 1990s, I had paid large sums of money to try retaining an attorney in New Jersey to sue the West Milford detectives (Sgt. Laughlin) the tall red haired police officer over 6 feet tall was the one who banged my head against his cop car in my driveway while a rookie cop watched!No attorney took my case saying I was up against too powerful organizations. I evenwent to Fort Dix NJ and told the head of the "internal affairs investigation department" at Fort Dix, he merely ignored me.Inversely, the alleged most ruthless men, and, so-called "war criminals" in the world since Hitler TREATED ME WITH THE MOST EXTRA-ORDINARY HUMAN DIGNITY AND RESPECT ACTING LIKE GENTLEMAN AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! I await everyone&amp;rsquo;s comment at the ICTY.The crime of "attempted genocide" committed against, by Harry Shortway, was nationally and racially based I was told later since many of the police inWest Milford belong to the KKK connected group called THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE(I was married to a black man and my family is Jewish in decent) My Great Grandfather was a Rabbi in old Russia. Now, I became a Russian Orthodox Christian Convert.I traced the National Alliance Nazi Group in Uppeer Greenwood Lake NJ in West Milford Township, to the Southern United States. Reading their 'Nazi manifesto' to kill all &amp;rdquo;Jews, Russians and Blacks,&amp;rdquo; I grabbed it as it hung in a federal US post office (The Hewitt NJ Post OFfice).I originally reported this to Detective Shortway in his "detective office" where I initially reported it to him, he smiles merely saying "oh those guys are my friends, I'll have a talk with them about the Nazi posters."Their signs used to be explicitly posted in the Hewitt West Milford Post OfficeSo I grabbed one and called their group in the Souther USA discovering their true genocidal agenda.I am a war crimes investigator, I testify that right in America, only 30 minutes from the United Nations Security Council (NYC), in West Milford NJ we have genocide occurring and no one listens to me!The detectives involved were not limited to: Sgt. Laughlin, Detective Harry Shortway and his close partner Peter Van Gilst as well as former internal affairs investigator Mr. Sorchinsky aka ZORO (West Milford and now retired).The National Alliance manifesto clearly indicates that persons ought use their powerful positions all over New Jersey, whether they be police, doctors and/or judges to rid the world of Russians,. Jews and Blacks.One of the many reasons for which I am on permanent disability is that I felt coerced by the police in Passaic County that unless I said I was &amp;rdquo;insane&amp;rdquo; I may be shot and killed by them because I&amp;rsquo;d be able to testify against them on these accounts in the future.Detective Shortway set me up to be murdered once already by placing an ad in the local paper saying he was leaving on vacation etc.etc... it is too complicated to go into here and now. I was looking for a new place to rent with my family at the time. On a voice changing machine (as my children can attest to) he gave me directions to a house to look at towards the end of all this ordeal with him. Later I found out the directions where I told my family I was going to look at the rental were over 20 miles in another direction and no one wold have ever found me again.This is my take on this and I am usually correct. Sorry for my spelling but this isextremely difficult for me to remember (agonizingly painful emotionally)I am scared to death now not of anything emanating from my writing about Mladic, butof my present close proximity where I reside nearby to West Milford and its associated Detectives. I never feared being hurt because I am writing a book based on my experiences in Serbia and Montenegro. Yes I am fearful of retaliation of SHORTWAY AND HIS CRONIES !COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: WHEREBY MLADIC &amp;amp; KARADZIC TREATED ME WITH WEST MILFORD DETECTIVES HARRY SHORTWAY &amp;amp; PETER VAN GILSTWednesday, April 15, 200912:07 PM 9/19/2009http://mladickaradzicshortwaystudy.blogspot.com/It is an extremely important legal case I am submitting to the Hague Court in theNetherlands as an individual complainant from here in the United States of America. I hope it will set an international precedent even in America people are abused by their own public elected government officials.I am fully convinced now, that after a decade of asking the American legal governmental authorities (local, state and federal levels) to arrest and try, Detective Harry Shortway, and his corrupt law enforcement associte, Sgt. Laughlin, in a court of law in America for attempting to murder me; moreover physically and emotionally torturing me and my family in 1990/1991,it is clear,the United States of America is either unwilling OR incapable of taking the bold moral measures to arrest Harry Shortway and his associates; ensurng he receives a fair trial here in America. Similarly to American diplomats such as, Hillary Clinton, ironally accusing Serbia of not submitting General Mladic to the Hague ICTY, for trial.Hypocritical America, don&amp;rsquo;t you agree (?)This makes a mockery of genuine human rights insofar in America. Equally,manifesting extremely gross violations of human rights against me by those I accuse of attempting to commit "ethnic genocide" against me; case in point, West Milford NJ(USA) Detective Harry Shortway who allegedly wanted to murder me owing to myderiving from an ethinc Jewish family background and was then married to an "AFricanAmerican" black man.Detective Harry Shortway has personal "Nazi" fascist affiliations with the NationalAlliance KKK group) abiding in Hewitt NJ (A town located in West Milford Township inNorthern NJ).The crime of attempted "genocide" was commited against me only thirty minutes fromthe United Nations Security Council, in Manhattan.I, Jill Starr am an American citizen previously writing the UN about this in the early 1990s.All together now, let&amp;rsquo;s remember the crime of &amp;lsquo;genocide,&amp;rsquo; in and of itself, can be defined as either an attempt to kill one, OR thousands, of members of any specificethnic/religious group.More to come on this story.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------More to come on this story.-I AM OFFERING A FINANCIAL REWARD FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO CAPTURE AND ARREST OF DETECTIVE HARRY SHORTWAY (FORMER WEST MILFORD NEW JERSEY DETECTIVE, HIS SGT.

        <media:description>Serbia To Shortly Ascend to the EU Says SPAIN.[image]Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court CannotLegitimately Prosecute Karadzic Casehttp://lpcyu.instablogs.com/entry/nato-says-the-hague-tribunal-or-icty-belongs-to-nato-truth-bites-for-te-hague-lately/http://picasaweb.google.com/lpcyusa/ViewMyHagueInternationalCriminalCourtPreparatoryDocumentsFromThe2001UnitedNations#(The Documentary Secret United Nations ICC Meeting Papers Scanned Images)This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr karadzic andothers awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member statesinstituting the ICC &amp;amp; ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, aswith the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these UnitedNations member states openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdictsfor financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN inManhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic andothers.I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings toestablish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminalcorruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic oflegitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts ANDjudicial appointments, for monetary funding.Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country&amp;rsquo;s proposal wasnot taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loudand noticably strongly vocal manner, &amp;ldquo;Spain (my country) strongly believes if wecontribute most financial support to the Hague&amp;rsquo;s highest court, that ought to give us andother countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over itsdecisions.&amp;rdquo;((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representativefrom Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery forinternational judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representativespresent in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a &amp;rdquo;totally legitimatetopic&amp;rdquo; discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked!The idea was "let's discuss it." "It's a great topic to discuss."Some countries agreed with Spain&amp;rsquo;s propositions while others did not. The point here is,bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimatetopic instead of an illegitimate toic which it is in the meeting that Iattended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergentinternational criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))In particular., since "Spain" was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of tradingfinancial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdictsin front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, "Spain" must havealready known by previous experience the topic of bribery was "socially acceptable" forconversation that day.

      <title>Blount Not Out Just Yet</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_Blount-Not-Out-Just-Yet/BLOG/660200/34209.html</link>
      <description>By now I am sure you heard about the horrible actions of University of Oregon senior RB LeGarrette Blount, who was suspended for the 2009 regular and post season for his punch to the face of Boise State sophomore DE Byron Hout last Thursday night after the no. 19 ranked Oregon Ducks lost their first game of the season to the no.14 ranked Boise State Broncos.&amp;nbsp; Blount was a highly touted prospect for the 2010 NFL draft. His height, weight, speed numbers were that of a player the NFL considered to be very good at what he does, or otherwise said to be excellent. Blount obviously committed a vicious act for which he will be forever tied to, and may have cost himself millions of dollars in the upcoming 2010 draft.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
How does this affect his position in the 2010 NFL draft? After conversing with many scouts throughout the NFL, many believe that while Blount may have acted too aggressively, but he should not be considered a lost cause as a football talent or as a person. &amp;nbsp;There are many scouts and executives who will see his actions as deplorable, but that will not be enough to deter some from taking a chance on considering him as a viable NFL prospect.&#xD;
Blount was considered to be a low first-round or high second-round pick. There are some who will read this blog and think that he probably doesn&amp;rsquo;t have a chance to be drafted at all. I would challenge that though process. &amp;nbsp;His pre-season assessment alone (first-round or second-round draft choice) will probably garner him the opportunity to receive an invitation to the 2010 NFL Combine in February. The only reason he will not be invited to the NFL Combine is if there is some type of public outcry and disapproval for him attending the Combine based on his actions last week.&#xD;
By the time the NFL Combine comes around, most of what he did will be an after though, as long as Blount has shown sincere remorse. I don&amp;rsquo;t want Blount or anyone else to think he has a free pass to make it to the NFL. He has already dropped to at least a second day draft selection for his actions, and even more so for the simple fact he will not play anymore during the 2009 season due to his suspension by the Oregon Ducks.&#xD;
There is a lot of growth for society, in general, during the collegiate years of life and Blount is no different. He made a huge mistake and should be punished accordingly. &amp;nbsp;However, I only hope that he is not &amp;ldquo;thrown away&amp;rdquo; and considered another stereotypical football player who had everything in front of him and blew it all because he could not control his anger at the time.</description>

      <title>Crabtree Update</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_Crabtree-Update/BLOG/660195/34209.html</link>
      <description>In a recent text with San Francisco 49ers WR Michael Crabtree&amp;rsquo;s adviser, David Wells, I asked when would we be seeing the announced signing of Crabtree to the 49ers. His response was, &amp;ldquo;Soo[n]&amp;rdquo;.&#xD;
Training camp and preseason are over, and the regular season is now upon us. We start with a clean slate.&amp;nbsp; No one cares what happened in preseason and definitely not what any player did in college.&amp;nbsp; After conversing with many former NFL &amp;ldquo;greats&amp;rdquo; who played with my dad during his time in the NFL, they all agree that the ONLY person who is being hurt by the hold out is Crabtree. I whole heartedly agree. Not the 49ers. Not the sports agent. Not David Wells. Not he 49ers. Not the fans. Plain and simple; Crabtree is doing himself a disservice.&#xD;
Crabtree and his camp may feel as though he is a better player than any and/or all of the other nine picks ahead of him and should be paid accordingly based on what he did in college. It may even prove to be true in time that he is better than all of them.&amp;nbsp; For now, he is just another player who was drafted in the no. 10 spot of the 2009 NFL Draft and will command the money paid for that spot.&#xD;
Words of advice to Crabtree and his camp of advisers, &amp;ldquo;Get over it!&amp;rdquo;&#xD;
Crabtree has not practiced with the team since Organized Team Activity (OTA) that ended this past June. He has no value to the team at this time and is not going to come in and make an immediate impact on the field. The team will request a two week roster exemption for him and he will sit on the bench for those two weeks.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The person I feel most for is the player who busted his ^$# during training camp only to be told when Crabtree is then activated, his services are no longer needed.&#xD;
Now how is that for a fair system of rewarding hard work? If the 49ers wanted to truly do the right thing, they will place the player&amp;rsquo;s contract that they plan on terminating on the Reserve/Injured (R01) list at least continuing to pay him for the remainder of the season.</description>

        <media:description>In a recent text with San Francisco 49ers WR Michael Crabtree&amp;rsquo;s adviser, David Wells, I asked when would we be seeing the announced signing of Crabtree to the 49ers. His response was, &amp;ldquo;Soo[n]&amp;rdquo;.&#xD;
Training camp and preseason are over, and the regular season is now upon us. We start with a clean slate.&amp;nbsp; No one cares what happened in preseason and definitely not what any player did in college.&amp;nbsp; After conversing with many former NFL &amp;ldquo;greats&amp;rdquo; who played with my dad during his time in the NFL, they all agree that the ONLY person who is being hurt by the hold out is Crabtree. I whole heartedly agree. Not the 49ers. Not the sports agent. Not David Wells. Not he 49ers. Not the fans. Plain and simple; Crabtree is doing himself a disservice.&#xD;
Crabtree and his camp may feel as though he is a better player than any and/or all of the other nine picks ahead of him and should be paid accordingly based on what he did in college. It may even prove to be true in time that he is better than all of them.&amp;nbsp; For now, he is just another player who was drafted in the no. 10 spot of the 2009 NFL Draft and will command the money paid for that spot.&#xD;
Words of advice to Crabtree and his camp of advisers, &amp;ldquo;Get over it!&amp;rdquo;&#xD;
Crabtree has not practiced with the team since Organized Team Activity (OTA) that ended this past June. He has no value to the team at this time and is not going to come in and make an immediate impact on the field. The team will request a two week roster exemption for him and he will sit on the bench for those two weeks.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The person I feel most for is the player who busted his ^$# during training camp only to be told when Crabtree is then activated, his services are no longer needed.&#xD;
Now how is that for a fair system of rewarding hard work? If the 49ers wanted to truly do the right thing, they will place the player&amp;rsquo;s contract that they plan on terminating on the Reserve/Injured (R01) list at least continuing to pay him for the remainder of the season.</media:description>

      <title>Anthropology Dissertation: in which areas/topics would you like to see more research done?</title>

      <description>Hello All Dissertation Students,I am in the process of finding out a topic for a anthropology dissertation , more specifically in forensic anthropology. Although I am quite sure what I want to do, I am interested in having views of others in the fields, and where they think research is lacking. With a bit of luck, my ideas will be amongst the areas suggested! I am particularly interested in your thoughts on the fields of forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, and human osteology to write my social anthropology dissertation. Not so much paleoanthropology (unless it is about AMHs, and then perhaps it might be of use).As for the research on sexing/ageing...I do think it is imperative to keep trying out the methods and finding methods for isolated bones. This can help keep the methods fresh and constantly make improvements to them. Also, the isolated bone methods can be of use in trying to recognize unidentified remains or help un-mix commingled remains.That being said, I still don't really want to do that for a dissertation topic. Like you said, not very original.That is why I am trying to see if others have noticed areas missing needed information. I have been doing literature reviews (especially Journal of Forensic Sciences and American Journal of Physical Anthro. to find topics I feel need more information, but sometimes others see things that a person can miss on their own.Do you have any specific areas that you've noticed?The response to my question I received is as follows:Response:Often times dissertations are based on improvements to or gaps in research already conducted. While it may get your degree, this is safe...and boring. Unfortunately, a lot of the research that can be conducted in forensic anthropology is this sort of improvement-based research. I've read numerous papers, theses, etc. on new (and obscure) ways to age, sex, etc. a skeleton. This stuff can already be done. I don&amp;rsquo;t care if the sphenoid can be used in age determination (which I don't think it can, but you get the point). I suggest that you sit down, pretend that you are a child and ponder the mysteries of the field. Find something that's hardly been touched...or think of new ways to interpret things. My adviser once told me that what he likes most about new students is that they haven't been corrupted by the field. If you can find a topic that you're really passionate about it will make the research so much easier.I'd like more research on various indigenous agricultural technologies, including Egyptian use of the Nile River delta and examples of relatively high standards of living which complemented the natural world.Also, I would like more emphasis in proper representation of the physical features of ancient civilizations. For example, no more white Egyptians or white Jesus.Finally, I am interested in variable diets of indigenous people and the effects of such diets on their physical bodies... for example, did some people have better eyesight than others? or did some people have fewer diseases than others?... all of which relating to diet, of course. I hope this will help in writing anthropology dissertations.</description>

      <description>The handbag of The girl shows her The individuality style, mood, and status of a woman is depicted via her bag. We should choose a handbag whose shape fits us properly. Often women purchase glossy handbags and yet do not know that the bag can modify their overall appearing. Your overall appearance can be changed drastically and your looks and style can be enhanced by opting in for carrying a bag that is in proportion with your body shape. You should understand that regardless of the elegance and style of the purse you carry, it will not look fashionable if it does not compliment your figure. Here are a number of tips that will help you select the perfect handbag which suits your body structure properly.You should opt in for a handbag that is contrary to the size of your body.&#xD;
If you are tiny and tall you should select deep purses, clutch bags, and large shoulder purses. Clutch purses do not boast of any strap to hang over the shoulder, they are alike to bag. Tall persons should select handbag styles. A shopper handbag is unsuitable for them.Since you will look taller by opting in for purses of a smaller size, you cannot gain a good outlook by going in for them. Small hand handbags are best for short women. Hobo and Satchel handbags are suitable for them. Satchel purse has single or dual straps that go across the body and over one shoulder. They should select a short handbag and keep it close to their body.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;If you are thin and short then carry a barrel hand bag which will make you look fantabulous. Woman with large hips should go for purses that end well before the hip and the strap, too, should not be long. Those with heavy structured tops should go for long strap shoulder bags The Classic hobo handbag is found in both small and big designs and is perfect for everyone.Select a color that complements nearly all your outfits. These purses are available suitable for the clothes worn by you for occasions. It is recommended that you try to opt in for plain and single colored handbags. Neutral black color suits most and you should opt in for that.</description>

When it comes to US immigration reform, is there a single solution to the problem? Is there a simple way to solve the issues and fix all the problems that have cropped up within the current policies?&#xD;
Probably not. Currently we tend to generalize the solution to US immigration into one of four categories. On one end of the spectrum we could turn to an open immigration policy. On the other side, we could try to eliminate all forms of immigration. Then, between those options, we could simply reduce or expand the available methods for getting into the United States.&#xD;
Obviously, these are oversimplifications of the options for reform, but most of the arguments being put forward these days do tend to rotate around these ideas, but the fact is that immigration into the country, rather legal or illegal, can have an impact on nearly every aspect of society.&#xD;
It&amp;rsquo;s not easy to fully understand the big picture when it comes to immigration policies and reform. It&amp;rsquo;s simply too big and complex to try and tie it down to a single, simplified answer. But as the situation continues to grow and evolve, there will be many solutions put forward in an attempt to do just that.</description>

      <title>Florida DUI Laws</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_Florida-DUI-Laws/BLOG/436293/34209.html</link>
      <description>Florida DUI laws are complex and made to punish those who drive under the influence. With that said, however, DUI laws in Florida also protect the innocent. A policeman cannot just pull over anyone for any reason and charge them with driving under the influence. There has to be proof for it to stick.&#xD;
If you have been charged with a DUI, there might be many defenses available to you. Defenses that can keep you from facing harsh penalties. Florida DUI laws make sure that the prosecution must prove a few things: like that your breath was .08 percent or higher alcohol content and that your normal faculties were impaired. The police officer that pulled you over must have gone through a series of events with valid reason. If any of those details were bypassed, you may have a shot at a DUI case. &#xD;

      <description>7 REASONS WHY I VOTED FOR AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PROPOSITION 8&amp;nbsp;DISALLOWING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; PERMITTING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS A DISTORTION AND ASSAULT ON THE SPIRIT AND PURPOSE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.&#xD;
The biggest lie that the homosexual propaganda machine has promulgated, and much of the American public has accepted, is that this is about discrimination.THIS IS NOT ABOUT DISCRIMINATION AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CIVIL RIGHTS!!!!&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
It is an absolute insult and huge set back to the Civil Rights Movement and resulting legislation to allow special interest groups with a political agenda, like homosexual activists, to play the "race card" whenever they can't get their way.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Homosexuals are not a class eligible for protection under civil rights statutes.&amp;nbsp; Federal law and the U.S. Supreme Court have limited civil rights protections to specific groups/classifications, which are limited to the following: 1) race/national origin, 2) age and 3) gender.&amp;nbsp; There are also protections for persons with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s a short list, and homosexuals are not on it, nor should they be. &amp;nbsp;The thing that each of these groups has in common that warrants special legal protection is a long and ugly historically proven denial or restriction of access to education, health care, jobs, and other economic opportunities or benefits due to circumstances over which they have no choice or control.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BECOME A PROTECTED CIVIL RIGHT BECAUSE HOMOSEXUALS DO NOT HAVE THE SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT WARRANT SPECIAL LEGAL PROTECTION.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Civil rights laws were designed to protect minorities from the disadvantages suffered through no choice or fault of their own.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuality is not a race, gender, or condition, but a preference, and as such, it is no more entitled to special legal privileges or protections than any other view point based group.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals are not being disenfranchised as human beings or denied any basic human rights.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals are a group of people who share a view point or preference for a particular mode of sexual expression.&amp;nbsp; The choice to engage in sexual behavior that differs from the mainstream does have some consequences, but homosexuals are not singled out on this issue.&amp;nbsp; Could men who like to have sex with underage girls be as vocal about their sexual preference and find acceptance and sympathy for their view point?&amp;nbsp; What about polygamists?&amp;nbsp; Aren&amp;rsquo;t they all just looking for love in whatever way appeals to them?&amp;nbsp; Ironically, laws prohibiting marriage for these groups aren&amp;rsquo;t declared discriminatory.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Racial discrimination and homosexual marriage are two issues that should never be compared because they are as different as night and day.&amp;nbsp; I was born and will die an African American woman.&amp;nbsp; I wake up every day and deal with all the social and economic consequences that come with this reality.&amp;nbsp; Despite some advances, most African Americans still have to be smarter and work harder and longer to earn just a fraction of the privileges and opportunities that most Caucasians take for granted.&amp;nbsp; My race and gender are genetic facts that are beyond medical science; they are not optional and there has not been one day of my entire life that I could choose differently.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
I am appalled when people use the election of America&amp;rsquo;s first black president to claim that racism is no longer an issue in this country.&amp;nbsp; It is a symbolic change that by no means undoes all the real racism that goes on everyday in America.&amp;nbsp; Everyday, black children attend dilapidated public schools that look more like prisons than learning institutions.&amp;nbsp; They are denied basic services and materials like current text books and access to technologies that are necessary to allow them to compete in the market place.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, white students attend pristine technologically advanced schools with far more services and opportunities. &amp;nbsp;Both are funded by federal and state&amp;nbsp;tax dollars, but the distribution of resources is far from equal.&amp;nbsp; From an early age, black children are taught the message that their lives and education just aren&amp;rsquo;t worth as much.&amp;nbsp; Every day in cities across the country, police officers continue to racially profile, beat, and kill black men with impunity.&amp;nbsp; While Americans were outraged at the acquittal of OJ Simpson, he is an isolated exception and not the rule.&amp;nbsp; There is rampant discrimination in the criminal justice system that continues to destroy the lives of black men and black families.&amp;nbsp; Most black men who are not celebrities or unusually wealthy do not get fair treatment by the system.&amp;nbsp; People assume that black men commit more crime.&amp;nbsp; The fact is that black men are disproportionately targeted and abused by law enforcement, have less access to adequate legal representation, and are exponentially more likely to be arrested and convicted regardless of whether they are guilty.&amp;nbsp; The humiliation and physical risk of driving while black continues to be a very real issue in this country.&amp;nbsp; Black women may appear to have greater access, but continue to face racism in education and the work force and suffer from the destruction of the black family unit caused by the genocide and degradation of black men.&amp;nbsp; Hence, the alarming number of unmarried black professional women.&amp;nbsp; As long as disparities in education and injustice in the legal system persist, the vast social and economic ramifications of being black in America will continue to perpetuate racial inequality in this country.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The idea that homosexual marriage is a civil rights issue necessarily requires accepting homosexuality as an involuntary condition, rather than a choice.&amp;nbsp; Neither science nor rational thought can support that position.&amp;nbsp; Despite valient efforts to prove a genetic cause for homosexuality, the data does not support it.&amp;nbsp; Research proves that there is no genetic difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals; there is no "gay gene."&amp;nbsp; Twin studies also show no higher incidence of homosexuality in twins.&amp;nbsp; There is also scientific support that environment and social influence play a significant role in encouraging homosexuality.&amp;nbsp; It is a fact that 75% of homosexuals have suffered some sort of sexual trauma.&amp;nbsp; There are thousands of other social and environmental factors that may be involved.&amp;nbsp; Science disproves the claim that homosexuality is a genetic condition.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Rational thought also defies this position.&amp;nbsp; We are all born male and female, having traits of both, but in most cases emotional and social development aligns with physical gender to dominate the expression of male or female characteristics.&amp;nbsp; All children are born with a sexual identity defined by genitalia, but no baby is born with a sexual preference.&amp;nbsp; Sexual activity and expression generally do not occur until later in development.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuality is a choice, perhaps a series of choices.&amp;nbsp; Some people who are inclined toward homosexual activity try to convince themselves and others that it is a manifestation of something that existed from birth, but there are no facts to support this theory.&amp;nbsp; It is consistent with a disturbing trend in America to deny responsibility for our choices, and label every difficult choice as something cosmically imposed through some external source over which one has no control.&amp;nbsp; If you drink too much, are violent or just can&amp;rsquo;t get your life in order, then it is your parents&amp;rsquo; fault. &amp;nbsp;No one wants to own their challenges anymore and there is an excuse for everything.&amp;nbsp; Since being openly homosexual is obviously a choice, the social or psychological benefits must outweigh the cost, or no sane person would elect it.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Most proponents of homosexual marriage happen to be Caucasian and have no real concept of what discrimination is.&amp;nbsp; Because of this lack of understanding, they fail to see the difference between privileges and rights.&amp;nbsp; They falsely describe this as a &amp;ldquo;civil rights&amp;rdquo; issue, when in fact it is a fight for privilege.&amp;nbsp; The aim is to legitimize homosexuality as a social norm and encourage its proliferation in religion and society as a whole.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
I find it deeply offensive when the proponents of homosexual marriage falsely equate the campaign for homosexual privilege to racism.&amp;nbsp; There is no valid comparison between homosexual marriage and the cruel torture, genocide, and immeasurable social and economic oppression that African Americans have suffered in the struggle for equality.&amp;nbsp; My parents and grandparents did not endure slavery, lynchings, segregation, dogs, and fire hoses, to legalize homosexual marriage.&amp;nbsp; Increasing sentiment by the media and some citizens accepting these false claims of "discrimination" made by homosexual activists and their supporters dilutes and trivializes the purpose and spirit of civil rights legislation.&amp;nbsp; To require states and churches to perform homosexual marriage under the guise of civil equality will open the flood gates to dozens of other special interest groups and render civil rights laws meaningless and void.&amp;nbsp; To permit homosexual activists to manipulate the hard fought civil rights laws penned with the blood of my ancestors is a perversion of social justice that is about as reprehensible to me as denial of the holocaust.&amp;nbsp; It is a lie that is too pernicious to ignore.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
3.&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE REPRESENTS A REAL THREAT TO FREE SPEECH.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
The continued expansion of the homosexual agenda has increasingly become an attack on our First Amendment Right to Free Speech.&amp;nbsp; Over the last several years, anyone that criticizes, disagrees with, or opposes homosexual agenda in any way, has been viciously attacked and labeled a racist.&amp;nbsp; It has become career suicide to call someone a homosexual, even if they are!&amp;nbsp; Any view point contrary to that of the homosexual political agenda has been regarded as discrimination and elevated to the status of a racial slur.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The apparent goal is to eliminate free speech for anyone that does not support the homosexual point of view.&amp;nbsp; Free speech is ultimately about free thinking and the right to expression, and that is what is at stake.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
As Americans, we used to be free to dislike and disagree with others for an infinite number of socially and legally acceptable reasons.&amp;nbsp; You can still tease or criticize people who are over-weight, old, short, funny looking, unfashionable, etc, and its perfectly ok.&amp;nbsp; But after a very successful marketing campaign, homosexuals have become a hyper-protected special interest group with an insatiable appetite for privileges that jeopardize the rights of others to disagree with them.&amp;nbsp; During the 2008 political campaign in California, opponents to Prop 8 made ridiculous statements like &amp;ldquo;chickens have more rights in California than homosexuals,&amp;rdquo; pointing to a ballot measure that was passed under which chickens got the right to have cages big enough to stretch their legs.&amp;nbsp; So far there have been no reported incidents of any chickens getting married.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals have been extraordinarily successful in convincing others that they are disadvantaged and mistreated.&amp;nbsp; The homosexual agenda is intent on driving heterosexuals &amp;ldquo;into the closet&amp;rdquo; and prohibiting any speech that homosexual activists don&amp;rsquo;t approve of.&amp;nbsp; It is to the point that much of the media will demonize anyone who dares to challenge the homosexual rights agenda.&amp;nbsp; Making any speech opposing homosexual marriage into a discrimination issue is aimed at making the heterosexual viewpoint illegal, both as a matter of civil and criminal law.&amp;nbsp; The news has been littered with examples of public figures who have suffered swift and extreme political, professional, and social consequences for expressing heterosexual view points.&amp;nbsp; Consider the vicious attacks on the former Ms. California.&amp;nbsp; She was asked a politically charged question about gay marriage and when she answered honostly, was attacked, harrassed, and ultimately fired.&amp;nbsp; The right to free speech is very much at risk, and the cost of sentimentality for homosexual privilege will cost far more than most people realize.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS A THREAT TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO THE FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICE.&#xD;
Religious and faith based institutions are increasingly facing the loss of their tax exempt status, political attack, and expensive law suits if they exclude or refuse to marry homosexuals.&amp;nbsp; Faith based entities are being forced to hire homosexuals and put them in positions of leadership even though it violates core fundamental values of the institutions.&amp;nbsp; Despite all of the failures and shortcomings of individuals and marriages, the institution of marriage is the foundation for family, which is still the single most important social structure in existence.&amp;nbsp; If homosexuals cannot accept the basic tenants of the Christian faith, then perhaps they should create a new religion, rather than try to force Christianity to abandon&amp;nbsp;biblical principles to accommodate them.&amp;nbsp; Most Christians are quite accepting of homosexuals.&amp;nbsp; However, they will not re-write scripture and still see sin as sin.&amp;nbsp; Most Christians are taught to hate sin but love sinners.&amp;nbsp; I was outraged recently when I saw a group of seminary students attacking Christian Universities, for alleged inequalities in the treatment of homosexual students.&amp;nbsp; It seems odd that&amp;nbsp;a homosexual would chose to attend a Christian school with the infinite number of prominent secular institutions available.&amp;nbsp; It is part of an aggressive attack on any and all things that do not bend to the will of the homosexual agenda.&amp;nbsp; The homosexual agenda threatens the right and ability of religious institutions and their members to practice their own religion and is a growing form of religious persecution.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
5.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A MARRIAGE LICENSE, LIKE ANY OTHER LICENSE, IS A PRIVILEGE GRANTED BY THE STATE, AND THE STATE IS PERMITTED TO SET REASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR ITS ISSUANCE.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
While marriage is a covenant between two people, the state&amp;rsquo;s involvement in the choice &#xD;
of two people to enter a marriage is pretty much limited to issuing licenses.&amp;nbsp; A license is a&#xD;
grant of permission to do something, and may have other related rights or privileges.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
Every license issued by a government entity has conditions governing one&amp;rsquo;s eligibility. &#xD;
You need a license to run businesses, enter professions, drive a car, or hold a parade.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
There are more laws prohibiting or restricting the ability to obtain a driver&amp;rsquo;s license than&#xD;
there are for getting married.&amp;nbsp; There are written tests, vision tests, age requirements, training requirements, etc, and failure to meet any will result in a denial of the privilege to drive a car.&amp;nbsp; If you think its tough being a homosexual who can&amp;rsquo;t marry; try living in Los Angeles and not being able to drive a car.&amp;nbsp; Sadly, there is no advocacy group for Californians who can&amp;rsquo;t drive, so I guess this group will just have to suck it up and catch the bus.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
California government entities&amp;nbsp;and most religions will only marry a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp; It is a requirement that the intended couple be of opposite sexes.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals don&amp;rsquo;t meet this basic condition to get a license, and therefore are no more entitled to marry than a person who fails the written driver&amp;rsquo;s exam is entitled to drive.&amp;nbsp; Two people can make a lifetime commitment to each other without ever obtaining this now coveted piece of paper.&amp;nbsp; Civil unions provide many of the same benefits as marriage.&amp;nbsp; Heterosexuals who cohabitate without marriage or remain single, whether or not by choice, don&amp;rsquo;t get any of the benefits of civil union but no one cares about their challenges.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals can throw a party and invite all their friends, but if they want the state or the church to bless, validate, or recognize their unions, then they have to follow the rules like everybody else.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; MARRIAGE IS A SOCIAL INSTITUTION GROUNDED IN MORAL AND RELIGIOIUS PRINCIPLES.&#xD;
On a spiritual level, there is nothing hateful, sinful, or mean about opposing homosexual marriage.&amp;nbsp; It is about preserving a fundamental aspect of our collective social and religious heritage.&amp;nbsp; As a technical matter, the bible does not prohibit homosexuality, but prohibits the act of intercourse between people of the same sex. Leviticus 18:22. The very same chapter of Leviticus prohibiting homosexual sex also prohibits a number of other sexual practices, including intercourse with animals, close relatives, and UNMARRIED HETEROSEXUALS. Leviticus. 18:1-29.&amp;nbsp; From a biblical stand point, all of these practices are regarded as sins that violate spiritual law.&amp;nbsp; However, from a biblical perspective, homosexuality is at the far end of the spectrum of what is considered to be sexual perversion.&amp;nbsp; The majority of Christian churches still teach abstinence from sexual intercourse of any kind outside of marriage.&amp;nbsp; A difference of opinion on the fundamental issue of marriage has nothing to do with hatred or intolerance, but the preservation of social and moral principles that are essential in this time of rapid and progressive moral decay.&amp;nbsp; People are getting tired of the oversaturation of aggressive and explicit homosexual images and messages that have been increasingly forced into American homes through every conceivable medium, that conflict with their own values and beliefs.&amp;nbsp; American people are pretty open and accepting for the most part, but occasionally, when things get too far afield of our collective moral sensibilities, the people will come together and set a limit.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
7.&amp;nbsp; CONTINUED OPPOSITION TO CALIFORNIA LAWS REGARDING MARRIAGE IS A VIOLATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.&#xD;
Californians have voted twice on this issue, and homosexuals still refuse to accept the result of the democratic process.&amp;nbsp; The people of California made a choice to pass a law that is legal and valid and should be honored because it does not violate any civil right.&amp;nbsp; As set forth above, this is not a discrimination issue, and there is no valid legal argument requiring the state or church to perform homosexual marriages.&amp;nbsp; The claim that Proposition 8 stripped away an "existing right" to homosexual marriage is misleading.&amp;nbsp; California voters previously passed Proposition 22 in 2000, defining marriage as between a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&#xD;
The California Supreme Court case, In re Marriages, started this controversy and temporarily allowed homosexuals to marry until a second election corrected them.&amp;nbsp; Even in that case, the court acknowledged the fact that many states have legally passed laws restricting marriage to heterosexuals.&amp;nbsp; The issue in California was technical and somewhat complicated because of the paradoxical existence of civil unions that mirror most of the rights of marriage but deny the "title" of marriage to homosexual couples.&amp;nbsp; This was the basis on which the court struck down the 2000 law, and temporarily permitted homosexual marriage.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The people of California voted again in November&amp;nbsp;2008, this time to amend the State&amp;rsquo;s Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp; Homosexual activists challenged the validity of the election and lost.&amp;nbsp; Homosexual activists still persist and believe they can get around the will of people by intensifying their marketing efforts and repeatedly putting homosexual marriage legislation on the ballot until they get the result they want.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The hope by some homosexual activists to make marriage a federal issue would require a rejection of essential principles of our constitution.&amp;nbsp; The U.S. Constitution and the fundamentals upon which this country was built reserved the right of states to decide several social issues, including marriage.&amp;nbsp; Based on the continued protests and deep divide on this issue, it may take a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court to finally put the matter to rest.&amp;nbsp; If that happens, I think these activists will find they reached too far and will regret it.&amp;nbsp; Federal courts have been clear that homosexuals are not a suspect or semi-suspect class and therefore absolutely not entitled to protection under civil rights statutes.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Final thought.&#xD;
Homosexuals are fighting for a privilege and using deceptive propaganda to portray this as a civil rights issue.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;gay&amp;rdquo; is not the new &amp;ldquo;black&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; Ultimately, this is not about intolerance but about preserving at least a few fundamental values held by the majority of Americans.&amp;nbsp; For the heterosexuals who sympathize with the gay rights activists' rhetoric and ask &amp;ldquo;Why not let them marry?&amp;rdquo; my answer is this: because it costs too much.&amp;nbsp; The loss of civil rights laws for those who truly need them, the loss of free speech, freedom of religion, the ramifications to education and our culture is immeasurable.&amp;nbsp; I for one am not willing shred the constitution and surrender most of the fundamental rights upon which this country was built to yield to the self serving indulgences demanded by homosexual activists.</description>
      <content:encoded>7 REASONS WHY I VOTED FOR AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PROPOSITION 8&amp;nbsp;DISALLOWING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA.&#xD;

&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Civil rights laws were designed to protect minorities from the disadvantages suffered through no choice or fault of their own.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuality is not a race, gender, or condition, but a preference, and as such, it is no more entitled to special legal privileges or protections than any other view point based group.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals are not being disenfranchised as human beings or denied any basic human rights.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals are a group of people who share a view point or preference for a particular mode of sexual expression.&amp;nbsp; The choice to engage in sexual behavior that differs from the mainstream does have some consequences, but homosexuals are not singled out on this issue.&amp;nbsp; Could men who like to have sex with underage girls be as vocal about their sexual preference and find acceptance and sympathy for their view point?&amp;nbsp; What about polygamists?&amp;nbsp; Aren&amp;rsquo;t they all just looking for love in whatever way appeals to them?&amp;nbsp; Ironically, laws prohibiting marriage for these groups aren&amp;rsquo;t declared discriminatory.&#xD;

As Americans, we used to be free to dislike and disagree with others for an infinite number of socially and legally acceptable reasons.&amp;nbsp; You can still tease or criticize people who are over-weight, old, short, funny looking, unfashionable, etc, and its perfectly ok.&amp;nbsp; But after a very successful marketing campaign, homosexuals have become a hyper-protected special interest group with an insatiable appetite for privileges that jeopardize the rights of others to disagree with them.&amp;nbsp; During the 2008 political campaign in California, opponents to Prop 8 made ridiculous statements like &amp;ldquo;chickens have more rights in California than homosexuals,&amp;rdquo; pointing to a ballot measure that was passed under which chickens got the right to have cages big enough to stretch their legs.&amp;nbsp; So far there have been no reported incidents of any chickens getting married.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals have been extraordinarily successful in convincing others that they are disadvantaged and mistreated.&amp;nbsp; The homosexual agenda is intent on driving heterosexuals &amp;ldquo;into the closet&amp;rdquo; and prohibiting any speech that homosexual activists don&amp;rsquo;t approve of.&amp;nbsp; It is to the point that much of the media will demonize anyone who dares to challenge the homosexual rights agenda.&amp;nbsp; Making any speech opposing homosexual marriage into a discrimination issue is aimed at making the heterosexual viewpoint illegal, both as a matter of civil and criminal law.&amp;nbsp; The news has been littered with examples of public figures who have suffered swift and extreme political, professional, and social consequences for expressing heterosexual view points.&amp;nbsp; Consider the vicious attacks on the former Ms. California.&amp;nbsp; She was asked a politically charged question about gay marriage and when she answered honostly, was attacked, harrassed, and ultimately fired.&amp;nbsp; The right to free speech is very much at risk, and the cost of sentimentality for homosexual privilege will cost far more than most people realize.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS A THREAT TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO THE FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICE.&#xD;
Religious and faith based institutions are increasingly facing the loss of their tax exempt status, political attack, and expensive law suits if they exclude or refuse to marry homosexuals.&amp;nbsp; Faith based entities are being forced to hire homosexuals and put them in positions of leadership even though it violates core fundamental values of the institutions.&amp;nbsp; Despite all of the failures and shortcomings of individuals and marriages, the institution of marriage is the foundation for family, which is still the single most important social structure in existence.&amp;nbsp; If homosexuals cannot accept the basic tenants of the Christian faith, then perhaps they should create a new religion, rather than try to force Christianity to abandon&amp;nbsp;biblical principles to accommodate them.&amp;nbsp; Most Christians are quite accepting of homosexuals.&amp;nbsp; However, they will not re-write scripture and still see sin as sin.&amp;nbsp; Most Christians are taught to hate sin but love sinners.&amp;nbsp; I was outraged recently when I saw a group of seminary students attacking Christian Universities, for alleged inequalities in the treatment of homosexual students.&amp;nbsp; It seems odd that&amp;nbsp;a homosexual would chose to attend a Christian school with the infinite number of prominent secular institutions available.&amp;nbsp; It is part of an aggressive attack on any and all things that do not bend to the will of the homosexual agenda.&amp;nbsp; The homosexual agenda threatens the right and ability of religious institutions and their members to practice their own religion and is a growing form of religious persecution.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
5.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A MARRIAGE LICENSE, LIKE ANY OTHER LICENSE, IS A PRIVILEGE GRANTED BY THE STATE, AND THE STATE IS PERMITTED TO SET REASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR ITS ISSUANCE.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
While marriage is a covenant between two people, the state&amp;rsquo;s involvement in the choice &#xD;
of two people to enter a marriage is pretty much limited to issuing licenses.&amp;nbsp; A license is a&#xD;
grant of permission to do something, and may have other related rights or privileges.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
Every license issued by a government entity has conditions governing one&amp;rsquo;s eligibility. &#xD;
You need a license to run businesses, enter professions, drive a car, or hold a parade.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
There are more laws prohibiting or restricting the ability to obtain a driver&amp;rsquo;s license than&#xD;
there are for getting married.&amp;nbsp; There are written tests, vision tests, age requirements, training requirements, etc, and failure to meet any will result in a denial of the privilege to drive a car.&amp;nbsp; If you think its tough being a homosexual who can&amp;rsquo;t marry; try living in Los Angeles and not being able to drive a car.&amp;nbsp; Sadly, there is no advocacy group for Californians who can&amp;rsquo;t drive, so I guess this group will just have to suck it up and catch the bus.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
California government entities&amp;nbsp;and most religions will only marry a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp; It is a requirement that the intended couple be of opposite sexes.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals don&amp;rsquo;t meet this basic condition to get a license, and therefore are no more entitled to marry than a person who fails the written driver&amp;rsquo;s exam is entitled to drive.&amp;nbsp; Two people can make a lifetime commitment to each other without ever obtaining this now coveted piece of paper.&amp;nbsp; Civil unions provide many of the same benefits as marriage.&amp;nbsp; Heterosexuals who cohabitate without marriage or remain single, whether or not by choice, don&amp;rsquo;t get any of the benefits of civil union but no one cares about their challenges.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals can throw a party and invite all their friends, but if they want the state or the church to bless, validate, or recognize their unions, then they have to follow the rules like everybody else.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; MARRIAGE IS A SOCIAL INSTITUTION GROUNDED IN MORAL AND RELIGIOIUS PRINCIPLES.&#xD;
On a spiritual level, there is nothing hateful, sinful, or mean about opposing homosexual marriage.&amp;nbsp; It is about preserving a fundamental aspect of our collective social and religious heritage.&amp;nbsp; As a technical matter, the bible does not prohibit homosexuality, but prohibits the act of intercourse between people of the same sex. Leviticus 18:22. The very same chapter of Leviticus prohibiting homosexual sex also prohibits a number of other sexual practices, including intercourse with animals, close relatives, and UNMARRIED HETEROSEXUALS. Leviticus. 18:1-29.&amp;nbsp; From a biblical stand point, all of these practices are regarded as sins that violate spiritual law.&amp;nbsp; However, from a biblical perspective, homosexuality is at the far end of the spectrum of what is considered to be sexual perversion.&amp;nbsp; The majority of Christian churches still teach abstinence from sexual intercourse of any kind outside of marriage.&amp;nbsp; A difference of opinion on the fundamental issue of marriage has nothing to do with hatred or intolerance, but the preservation of social and moral principles that are essential in this time of rapid and progressive moral decay.&amp;nbsp; People are getting tired of the oversaturation of aggressive and explicit homosexual images and messages that have been increasingly forced into American homes through every conceivable medium, that conflict with their own values and beliefs.&amp;nbsp; American people are pretty open and accepting for the most part, but occasionally, when things get too far afield of our collective moral sensibilities, the people will come together and set a limit.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
7.&amp;nbsp; CONTINUED OPPOSITION TO CALIFORNIA LAWS REGARDING MARRIAGE IS A VIOLATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.&#xD;
Californians have voted twice on this issue, and homosexuals still refuse to accept the result of the democratic process.&amp;nbsp; The people of California made a choice to pass a law that is legal and valid and should be honored because it does not violate any civil right.&amp;nbsp; As set forth above, this is not a discrimination issue, and there is no valid legal argument requiring the state or church to perform homosexual marriages.&amp;nbsp; The claim that Proposition 8 stripped away an "existing right" to homosexual marriage is misleading.&amp;nbsp; California voters previously passed Proposition 22 in 2000, defining marriage as between a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&#xD;
The California Supreme Court case, In re Marriages, started this controversy and temporarily allowed homosexuals to marry until a second election corrected them.&amp;nbsp; Even in that case, the court acknowledged the fact that many states have legally passed laws restricting marriage to heterosexuals.&amp;nbsp; The issue in California was technical and somewhat complicated because of the paradoxical existence of civil unions that mirror most of the rights of marriage but deny the "title" of marriage to homosexual couples.&amp;nbsp; This was the basis on which the court struck down the 2000 law, and temporarily permitted homosexual marriage.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The people of California voted again in November&amp;nbsp;2008, this time to amend the State&amp;rsquo;s Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp; Homosexual activists challenged the validity of the election and lost.&amp;nbsp; Homosexual activists still persist and believe they can get around the will of people by intensifying their marketing efforts and repeatedly putting homosexual marriage legislation on the ballot until they get the result they want.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The hope by some homosexual activists to make marriage a federal issue would require a rejection of essential principles of our constitution.&amp;nbsp; The U.S. Constitution and the fundamentals upon which this country was built reserved the right of states to decide several social issues, including marriage.&amp;nbsp; Based on the continued protests and deep divide on this issue, it may take a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court to finally put the matter to rest.&amp;nbsp; If that happens, I think these activists will find they reached too far and will regret it.&amp;nbsp; Federal courts have been clear that homosexuals are not a suspect or semi-suspect class and therefore absolutely not entitled to protection under civil rights statutes.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Final thought.&#xD;
Homosexuals are fighting for a privilege and using deceptive propaganda to portray this as a civil rights issue.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;gay&amp;rdquo; is not the new &amp;ldquo;black&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; Ultimately, this is not about intolerance but about preserving at least a few fundamental values held by the majority of Americans.&amp;nbsp; For the heterosexuals who sympathize with the gay rights activists' rhetoric and ask &amp;ldquo;Why not let them marry?&amp;rdquo; my answer is this: because it costs too much.&amp;nbsp; The loss of civil rights laws for those who truly need them, the loss of free speech, freedom of religion, the ramifications to education and our culture is immeasurable.&amp;nbsp; I for one am not willing shred the constitution and surrender most of the fundamental rights upon which this country was built to yield to the self serving indulgences demanded by homosexual activists.</content:encoded>

        <media:description>7 REASONS WHY I VOTED FOR AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PROPOSITION 8&amp;nbsp;DISALLOWING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; PERMITTING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS A DISTORTION AND ASSAULT ON THE SPIRIT AND PURPOSE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.&#xD;
The biggest lie that the homosexual propaganda machine has promulgated, and much of the American public has accepted, is that this is about discrimination.THIS IS NOT ABOUT DISCRIMINATION AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CIVIL RIGHTS!!!!&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
It is an absolute insult and huge set back to the Civil Rights Movement and resulting legislation to allow special interest groups with a political agenda, like homosexual activists, to play the "race card" whenever they can't get their way.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Homosexuals are not a class eligible for protection under civil rights statutes.&amp;nbsp; Federal law and the U.S. Supreme Court have limited civil rights protections to specific groups/classifications, which are limited to the following: 1) race/national origin, 2) age and 3) gender.&amp;nbsp; There are also protections for persons with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s a short list, and homosexuals are not on it, nor should they be. &amp;nbsp;The thing that each of these groups has in common that warrants special legal protection is a long and ugly historically proven denial or restriction of access to education, health care, jobs, and other economic opportunities or benefits due to circumstances over which they have no choice or control.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BECOME A PROTECTED CIVIL RIGHT BECAUSE HOMOSEXUALS DO NOT HAVE THE SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT WARRANT SPECIAL LEGAL PROTECTION.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Civil rights laws were designed to protect minorities from the disadvantages suffered through no choice or fault of their own.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuality is not a race, gender, or condition, but a preference, and as such, it is no more entitled to special legal privileges or protections than any other view point based group.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals are not being disenfranchised as human beings or denied any basic human rights.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals are a group of people who share a view point or preference for a particular mode of sexual expression.&amp;nbsp; The choice to engage in sexual behavior that differs from the mainstream does have some consequences, but homosexuals are not singled out on this issue.&amp;nbsp; Could men who like to have sex with underage girls be as vocal about their sexual preference and find acceptance and sympathy for their view point?&amp;nbsp; What about polygamists?&amp;nbsp; Aren&amp;rsquo;t they all just looking for love in whatever way appeals to them?&amp;nbsp; Ironically, laws prohibiting marriage for these groups aren&amp;rsquo;t declared discriminatory.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Racial discrimination and homosexual marriage are two issues that should never be compared because they are as different as night and day.&amp;nbsp; I was born and will die an African American woman.&amp;nbsp; I wake up every day and deal with all the social and economic consequences that come with this reality.&amp;nbsp; Despite some advances, most African Americans still have to be smarter and work harder and longer to earn just a fraction of the privileges and opportunities that most Caucasians take for granted.&amp;nbsp; My race and gender are genetic facts that are beyond medical science; they are not optional and there has not been one day of my entire life that I could choose differently.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
I am appalled when people use the election of America&amp;rsquo;s first black president to claim that racism is no longer an issue in this country.&amp;nbsp; It is a symbolic change that by no means undoes all the real racism that goes on everyday in America.&amp;nbsp; Everyday, black children attend dilapidated public schools that look more like prisons than learning institutions.&amp;nbsp; They are denied basic services and materials like current text books and access to technologies that are necessary to allow them to compete in the market place.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, white students attend pristine technologically advanced schools with far more services and opportunities. &amp;nbsp;Both are funded by federal and state&amp;nbsp;tax dollars, but the distribution of resources is far from equal.&amp;nbsp; From an early age, black children are taught the message that their lives and education just aren&amp;rsquo;t worth as much.&amp;nbsp; Every day in cities across the country, police officers continue to racially profile, beat, and kill black men with impunity.&amp;nbsp; While Americans were outraged at the acquittal of OJ Simpson, he is an isolated exception and not the rule.&amp;nbsp; There is rampant discrimination in the criminal justice system that continues to destroy the lives of black men and black families.&amp;nbsp; Most black men who are not celebrities or unusually wealthy do not get fair treatment by the system.&amp;nbsp; People assume that black men commit more crime.&amp;nbsp; The fact is that black men are disproportionately targeted and abused by law enforcement, have less access to adequate legal representation, and are exponentially more likely to be arrested and convicted regardless of whether they are guilty.&amp;nbsp; The humiliation and physical risk of driving while black continues to be a very real issue in this country.&amp;nbsp; Black women may appear to have greater access, but continue to face racism in education and the work force and suffer from the destruction of the black family unit caused by the genocide and degradation of black men.&amp;nbsp; Hence, the alarming number of unmarried black professional women.&amp;nbsp; As long as disparities in education and injustice in the legal system persist, the vast social and economic ramifications of being black in America will continue to perpetuate racial inequality in this country.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The idea that homosexual marriage is a civil rights issue necessarily requires accepting homosexuality as an involuntary condition, rather than a choice.&amp;nbsp; Neither science nor rational thought can support that position.&amp;nbsp; Despite valient efforts to prove a genetic cause for homosexuality, the data does not support it.&amp;nbsp; Research proves that there is no genetic difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals; there is no "gay gene."&amp;nbsp; Twin studies also show no higher incidence of homosexuality in twins.&amp;nbsp; There is also scientific support that environment and social influence play a significant role in encouraging homosexuality.&amp;nbsp; It is a fact that 75% of homosexuals have suffered some sort of sexual trauma.&amp;nbsp; There are thousands of other social and environmental factors that may be involved.&amp;nbsp; Science disproves the claim that homosexuality is a genetic condition.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Rational thought also defies this position.&amp;nbsp; We are all born male and female, having traits of both, but in most cases emotional and social development aligns with physical gender to dominate the expression of male or female characteristics.&amp;nbsp; All children are born with a sexual identity defined by genitalia, but no baby is born with a sexual preference.&amp;nbsp; Sexual activity and expression generally do not occur until later in development.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuality is a choice, perhaps a series of choices.&amp;nbsp; Some people who are inclined toward homosexual activity try to convince themselves and others that it is a manifestation of something that existed from birth, but there are no facts to support this theory.&amp;nbsp; It is consistent with a disturbing trend in America to deny responsibility for our choices, and label every difficult choice as something cosmically imposed through some external source over which one has no control.&amp;nbsp; If you drink too much, are violent or just can&amp;rsquo;t get your life in order, then it is your parents&amp;rsquo; fault. &amp;nbsp;No one wants to own their challenges anymore and there is an excuse for everything.&amp;nbsp; Since being openly homosexual is obviously a choice, the social or psychological benefits must outweigh the cost, or no sane person would elect it.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Most proponents of homosexual marriage happen to be Caucasian and have no real concept of what discrimination is.&amp;nbsp; Because of this lack of understanding, they fail to see the difference between privileges and rights.&amp;nbsp; They falsely describe this as a &amp;ldquo;civil rights&amp;rdquo; issue, when in fact it is a fight for privilege.&amp;nbsp; The aim is to legitimize homosexuality as a social norm and encourage its proliferation in religion and society as a whole.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
I find it deeply offensive when the proponents of homosexual marriage falsely equate the campaign for homosexual privilege to racism.&amp;nbsp; There is no valid comparison between homosexual marriage and the cruel torture, genocide, and immeasurable social and economic oppression that African Americans have suffered in the struggle for equality.&amp;nbsp; My parents and grandparents did not endure slavery, lynchings, segregation, dogs, and fire hoses, to legalize homosexual marriage.&amp;nbsp; Increasing sentiment by the media and some citizens accepting these false claims of "discrimination" made by homosexual activists and their supporters dilutes and trivializes the purpose and spirit of civil rights legislation.&amp;nbsp; To require states and churches to perform homosexual marriage under the guise of civil equality will open the flood gates to dozens of other special interest groups and render civil rights laws meaningless and void.&amp;nbsp; To permit homosexual activists to manipulate the hard fought civil rights laws penned with the blood of my ancestors is a perversion of social justice that is about as reprehensible to me as denial of the holocaust.&amp;nbsp; It is a lie that is too pernicious to ignore.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
3.&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE REPRESENTS A REAL THREAT TO FREE SPEECH.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
The continued expansion of the homosexual agenda has increasingly become an attack on our First Amendment Right to Free Speech.&amp;nbsp; Over the last several years, anyone that criticizes, disagrees with, or opposes homosexual agenda in any way, has been viciously attacked and labeled a racist.&amp;nbsp; It has become career suicide to call someone a homosexual, even if they are!&amp;nbsp; Any view point contrary to that of the homosexual political agenda has been regarded as discrimination and elevated to the status of a racial slur.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The apparent goal is to eliminate free speech for anyone that does not support the homosexual point of view.&amp;nbsp; Free speech is ultimately about free thinking and the right to expression, and that is what is at stake.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
As Americans, we used to be free to dislike and disagree with others for an infinite number of socially and legally acceptable reasons.&amp;nbsp; You can still tease or criticize people who are over-weight, old, short, funny looking, unfashionable, etc, and its perfectly ok.&amp;nbsp; But after a very successful marketing campaign, homosexuals have become a hyper-protected special interest group with an insatiable appetite for privileges that jeopardize the rights of others to disagree with them.&amp;nbsp; During the 2008 political campaign in California, opponents to Prop 8 made ridiculous statements like &amp;ldquo;chickens have more rights in California than homosexuals,&amp;rdquo; pointing to a ballot measure that was passed under which chickens got the right to have cages big enough to stretch their legs.&amp;nbsp; So far there have been no reported incidents of any chickens getting married.&amp;nbsp; Homosexuals have been extraordinarily successful in convincing others that they are disadvantaged and mistreated.&amp;nbsp; The homosexual agenda is intent on driving heterosexuals &amp;ldquo;into the closet&amp;rdquo; and prohibiting any speech that homosexual activists don&amp;rsquo;t approve of.&amp;nbsp; It is to the point that much of the media will demonize anyone who dares to challenge the homosexual rights agenda.&amp;nbsp; Making any speech opposing homosexual marriage into a discrimination issue is aimed at making the heterosexual viewpoint illegal, both as a matter of civil and criminal law.&amp;nbsp; The news has been littered with examples of public figures who have suffered swift and extreme political, professional, and social consequences for expressing heterosexual view points.&amp;nbsp; Consider the vicious attacks on the former Ms. California.&amp;nbsp; She was asked a politically charged question about gay marriage and when she answered honostly, was attacked, harrassed, and ultimately fired.&amp;nbsp; The right to free speech is very much at risk, and the cost of sentimentality for homosexual privilege will cost far more than most people realize.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE IS A THREAT TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO THE FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICE.&#xD;
Religious and faith based institutions are increasingly facing the loss of their tax exempt status, political attack, and expensive law suits if they exclude or refuse to marry homosexuals.&amp;nbsp; Faith based entities are being forced to hire homosexuals and put them in positions of leadership even though it violates core fundamental values of the institutions.&amp;nbsp; Despite all of the failures and shortcomings of individuals and marriages, the institution of marriage is the foundation for family, which is still the single most important social structure in existence.&amp;nbsp; If homosexuals cannot accept the basic tenants of the Christian faith, then perhaps they should create a new religion, rather than try to force Christianity to abandon&amp;nbsp;biblical principles to accommodate them.&amp;nbsp; Most Christians are quite accepting of homosexuals.&amp;nbsp; However, they will not re-write scripture and still see sin as sin.&amp;nbsp; Most Christians are taught to hate sin but love sinners.&amp;nbsp; I was outraged recently when I saw a group of seminary students attacking Christian Universities, for alleged inequalities in the treatment of homosexual students.&amp;nbsp; It seems odd that&amp;nbsp;a homosexual would chose to attend a Christian school with the infinite number of prominent secular institutions available.&amp;nbsp; It is part of an aggressive attack on any and all things that do not bend to the will of the homosexual agenda.&amp;nbsp; The homosexual agenda threatens the right and ability of religious institutions and their members to practice their own religion and is a growing form of religious persecution.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
5.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A MARRIAGE LICENSE, LIKE ANY OTHER LICENSE, IS A PRIVILEGE GRANTED BY THE STATE, AND THE STATE IS PERMITTED TO SET REASONABLE CONDITIONS FOR ITS ISSUANCE.&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
While marriage is a covenant between two people, the state&amp;rsquo;s involvement in the choice &#xD;

The people of California voted again in November&amp;nbsp;2008, this time to amend the State&amp;rsquo;s Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman.&amp;nbsp; Homosexual activists challenged the validity of the election and lost.&amp;nbsp; Homosexual activists still persist and believe they can get around the will of people by intensifying their marketing efforts and repeatedly putting homosexual marriage legislation on the ballot until they get the result they want.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The hope by some homosexual activists to make marriage a federal issue would require a rejection of essential principles of our constitution.&amp;nbsp; The U.S. Constitution and the fundamentals upon which this country was built reserved the right of states to decide several social issues, including marriage.&amp;nbsp; Based on the continued protests and deep divide on this issue, it may take a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court to finally put the matter to rest.&amp;nbsp; If that happens, I think these activists will find they reached too far and will regret it.&amp;nbsp; Federal courts have been clear that homosexuals are not a suspect or semi-suspect class and therefore absolutely not entitled to protection under civil rights statutes.&amp;nbsp; &#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
Final thought.&#xD;
Homosexuals are fighting for a privilege and using deceptive propaganda to portray this as a civil rights issue.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;gay&amp;rdquo; is not the new &amp;ldquo;black&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; Ultimately, this is not about intolerance but about preserving at least a few fundamental values held by the majority of Americans.&amp;nbsp; For the heterosexuals who sympathize with the gay rights activists' rhetoric and ask &amp;ldquo;Why not let them marry?&amp;rdquo; my answer is this: because it costs too much.&amp;nbsp; The loss of civil rights laws for those who truly need them, the loss of free speech, freedom of religion, the ramifications to education and our culture is immeasurable.&amp;nbsp; I for one am not willing shred the constitution and surrender most of the fundamental rights upon which this country was built to yield to the self serving indulgences demanded by homosexual activists.</media:description>

      <title>An Open Letter to President Obama-Medical Malpractice in New York</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_An-Open-Letter-to-President-Obama-Medical-Malpractice-in-New-York/BLOG/388630/34209.html</link>
      <description>An Open Letter to President ObamaFrom Gerry Oginski, Esq.A New York Medical Malpractice Trial LawyerJune 15, 2009Dear Mr. President,&amp;nbsp;The New York Times reported today (Obama Open to Reining in Medical Suits, June 15, 2009) that you were considering reining in medical malpractice lawsuits. Although you have expressed your opinion that you would not consider placing a cap on jury awards, I&amp;rsquo;d like you to read this letter before you give further thought to this potentially disastrous policy change.A few years ago I had the privilege of representing a young man, aged 34, who worked as a mortgage broker. One day here in New York he suffered chest pain and went to a local hospital for evaluation. The physicians admitted him to the hospital for a few days to do a cardiac workup. Blood was drawn, a stress test was performed, and a physical examination was done. The patient was given a clean bill of health and told to follow up with a cardiologist after being discharged. Over the next three months this young and energetic young man continued to experience significant chest pain. On each visit to the cardiologist, the doctor performed a physical examination and shrugged off the patient&amp;rsquo;s complaints of pain as being &amp;ldquo;stress related.&amp;rdquo; Shortly after the third visit to the cardiologist, this young man experienced severe crushing pain which radiated down his arm.He was taken by ambulance to his local emergency room where he was diagnosed as having a massive heart attack. His community Hospital was unable to care for this patient, and he was transferred him to a tertiary care center in Manhattan. This young man learned that 70% of his heart had died as a result of the massive heart attack he suffered. Because this patient&amp;rsquo;s heart no longer worked at the same capacity as it once did, all of the fluid would back up into his lungs and create a devastating condition known as severe pulmonary edema. His heart, which is essentially a never-ending pump was no longer able to pump its life-giving fluids throughout his body. In addition, this patient suffered kidney damage because his kidneys could no longer filter fluids traveling through his body.He required 40 different pills to take each day in an attempt to maintain a fluid-electrolyte balance so that he would not go into renal failure and shock. He required pills to remove the excess fluid that had built up in his lungs. He became an insulin-dependent diabetic and was constantly fatigued because of his heart&amp;rsquo;s inability to provide the life-giving oxygen throughout his bloodstream to all of the necessary organs.A once vibrant, energetic and a top-earning mortgage broker was now nothing more than a crippled man trapped inside his body. He could barely walk 10 feet without needing to stop and rest for a few minutes. This young man was told by his physicians that in order for him to improve, he would require a heart transplant. However, because of his co-morbid conditions, this patient was not a candidate for a heart transplant and was told that he had a decreased life expectancy without a new heart.The New York Times reported today that you recently met with the head of the American Medical Association and discussed the fact that physicians who stay within standard practice guidelines should be afforded some freedom from liability. As the American Association of Justice has clearly pointed out, these standard practice guidelines were created by unregulated medical societies to be used primarily in a court of law in an attempt to debunk a plaintiff&amp;rsquo;s expert argument that there were departures from good and accepted care leading to permanent injury.I had the privilege of representing this young man in his quest for compensation for the tragedy that befell him. Three independent medical experts who reviewed this patient&amp;rsquo;s records confirmed that when this patient initially was evaluated in his local hospital, the stress test records were not properly interpreted. The physician ignored the computer findings and the clinical presenting symptoms the patient had.Significantly, each of the three independent medical experts who were consulted confirmed that if this patient&amp;rsquo;s heart disease had been recognized at the time he presented with chest pain, he could have had an elective heart bypass procedure with an excellent chance of success. Had the blood flow to this patient&amp;rsquo;s heart been timely restored before he suffered his massive heart attack, it would have prevented the unnecessary death of the majority of his patient&amp;rsquo;s heart.As you know, no amount of compensation can alter a life-changing permanent physical injury. However, our system of justice requires that the injured victim be compensated not only for their pain and the suffering they have been caused but also for the economic damage they have suffered as a result of someone else&amp;rsquo;s wrongdoing.Injured victims who are prohibited from recovering money to compensate them for their injuries would be unable to pay their medical bills, recoup their lost earnings, and earn a living because of their ongoing disability or death. To afford protections to physicians in an attempt to minimize lawsuits or payouts, fails to recognize the significant disparity between the learned professional and the patient, and also fails to take into account that the patient did nothing to cause or contribute to their devastating injuries.Limiting an injured victim from seeking compensation fails to look at why we award compensation in the first place. If we have a Picasso painting that is valued at $5 million dollars and someone destroys it, that person is obligated to pay the value of that painting. The same is true for an injured victim. The difficulty arises when a jury is asked to award money for a victims&amp;rsquo; pain and suffering. The bottom line is that a wrongdoer is still obligated to compensate the victim for their injuries.&amp;nbsp;Although we as attorneys recognize that there is much enmity between the doctor&amp;rsquo;s arguments about the root cause of medical malpractice and the trial lawyers arguments as to who is responsible for medical malpractice lawsuits, the fact remains that our system of civil Justice must reign supreme in protecting the rights of injured victims whether they reside in New York, California, Florida, or anywhere else in this great country. I remain curious as to why more physicians do not question their own medical malpractice insurance companies about their investment practices and the cyclical nature of the financial markets and how they influence the premiums that these companies charge for their physician members.Rather than focus on the attorneys and their injured victims who bring cases in their respective states or on the standards of care that have been created to protect physicians in courtrooms throughout the United States, let us look closely at the insurance companies and call them to task for their investment strategies and the need to recoup income in a down market.I thank you for the opportunity to express my feelings in this blog post and hope that these comments provide a steppingstone for understanding that changing the way injured victims are compensated for medical malpractice cases in the United States is not the solution.Very truly yours,Gerry Oginski</description>

I remain curious as to why more physicians do not question their own medical malpractice insurance companies about their investment practices and the cyclical nature of the financial markets and how they influence the premiums that these companies charge for their physician members.Rather than focus on the attorneys and their injured victims who bring cases in their respective states or on the standards of care that have been created to protect physicians in courtrooms throughout the United States, let us look closely at the insurance companies and call them to task for their investment strategies and the need to recoup income in a down market.I thank you for the opportunity to express my feelings in this blog post and hope that these comments provide a steppingstone for understanding that changing the way injured victims are compensated for medical malpractice cases in the United States is not the solution.Very truly yours,Gerry Oginski</media:description>

Your new home has cracks in the walls, the roof leaks and the doors and windows don&amp;rsquo;t close. You call the builder and they rush out only to look at the property and say, &amp;ldquo;Well your landscaping caused the problem. &amp;nbsp;We will fix the cracks even though we don&amp;rsquo;t have too because we pride ourselves on customer service.&amp;rdquo; They perform repairs to the walls and adjust the window and leave. You call your landscaper and he tells you that there is no way the landscaping could have caused the issues since it is just colored rock. Then 6 months later the cracks start showing up again. You think the sky is falling and the builder says it&amp;rsquo;s not our fault and the battle begins.&#xD;
In my line of work I see problems with homes on a daily basis. Some are easy to fix and only on rare occasions is it cheaper to tear down and start over than to repair.&#xD;
There are hundreds if not thousands of attorneys that practice construction law and there are almost as many (so called) experts. &amp;nbsp;These attorneys and experts are able to point out what&amp;rsquo;s wrong with the home (so are you, that is why you called them) &amp;nbsp;however, many of these self proclaimed professionals are &amp;nbsp;inexperienced when it comes to determining the cause of the damage and what needs to be done to repair the home.&#xD;
There are some builders that will take the initiative and try to find the problem but with the residential construction market crashing, many simply don&amp;rsquo;t have the money for repairs. So your home doesn&amp;rsquo;t get fixed or only gets patched and the contractor goes away. When the problem returns you look for professional help. You hire an attorney and/or a construction expert. The attorney sends a letter to the builder spelling out all the defects. The builder turns the case over to their insurance company and the insurance company contacts their attorneys. Then after a few letters are exchanged the builder&amp;rsquo;s inspections are performed by their team of experts. The battle turns into what law is applied and how that law is interpreted instead of what is wrong, how do we fix it, who is responsible and how much will it cost.&#xD;
At this point I feel I should point out that the only people that make money in lawsuits are the attorneys and the experts. Typically both sides end up paying for these services out of pocket and while you can always ask for attorney and expert fees and costs in a lawsuit, my experience is you rarely recoup 100% of those costs even if you win.&#xD;
The truth about the attorneys and experts is many of them help each other make money. Since the attorney typically recommends the expert, some of the experts attempt to, shall we say, view things differently.&amp;nbsp; The plaintiff&amp;rsquo;s expert must have scratched glasses because everywhere he looks he sees cracks while the defense expert looks at the ceiling and then states he didn&amp;rsquo;t see any evidence that the foundation has moved and he saw no cracked floor tiles. Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle. (Recently a local engineer stated that even though the floor in a building had sunk 7 inches, it wasn&amp;rsquo;t moving when he looked at it so it is no longer a problem.)&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The fact is these types of experts don&amp;rsquo;t help the case they slow it down and that, along with the attorneys bickering, results in increased costs. The builder&amp;rsquo;s insurance company pays then increases their fees the following year and the builder has even less money. This is one of the many problems with builders using the insurance company is their own persona warranty company&#xD;
Good News: Not all builders, attorneys or experts behave that way. I have had the pleasure of working on the opposite side of some experts that actually know what is wrong and want to see the home repaired properly. This really is a win win. The home owner gets the home fixed, and the builder is able to salvage their reputation. (Not to mention the attorneys and/or experts get paid.)&#xD;
Both sides can and should do several things to help control costs.&#xD;
Photo document everything. I don&amp;rsquo;t care if it is the foundation steel or the cracks in the walls. Use a measure of some kind. If you don&amp;rsquo;t have a tape measure simply place a dollar bill net to the defect you are photographing for a size reference. &amp;nbsp;Take several photos of everything from different angles and document the day the photo was taken and by whom. These photos can reduce the number of trips to the property and if taken during construction or repairs, may prevent, or reduce the amount of destructive testing that needs to be performed.&#xD;
Interview your team. &amp;nbsp;Find out what their experience is and what type of success they have resolving the issues. (This is different than settling the case). What other experts do they know and work with? Have they worked on other cases like yours? What are their fees and how do they bill?&#xD;
Try to find a construction expert that will work with both parties to resolve the issue before you hire the attorney. If you are going to hire an expert anyway, why not give them the chance to work with both parties to resolve the issue first. If they are successful, you saved the attorneys fees, if they are not, you will already have the information needed so it can expedite the process.&#xD;
Have the home professionally inspected before you purchase it. Take photos of the entire home interior and exterior and save the photos with your inspection report. If the damage existed when you bought the home, it will be documented, if it occurs after the purchase, that will be documented s well. Gathering evidence is one of the most expensive costs in a case. Taking photos or video of the entire home during construction, at the time of purchase, at the time of any repairs, and any other time can help your case and help keeps costs low.&#xD;

Your new home has cracks in the walls, the roof leaks and the doors and windows don&amp;rsquo;t close. You call the builder and they rush out only to look at the property and say, &amp;ldquo;Well your landscaping caused the problem. &amp;nbsp;We will fix the cracks even though we don&amp;rsquo;t have too because we pride ourselves on customer service.&amp;rdquo; They perform repairs to the walls and adjust the window and leave. You call your landscaper and he tells you that there is no way the landscaping could have caused the issues since it is just colored rock. Then 6 months later the cracks start showing up again. You think the sky is falling and the builder says it&amp;rsquo;s not our fault and the battle begins.&#xD;
In my line of work I see problems with homes on a daily basis. Some are easy to fix and only on rare occasions is it cheaper to tear down and start over than to repair.&#xD;
There are hundreds if not thousands of attorneys that practice construction law and there are almost as many (so called) experts. &amp;nbsp;These attorneys and experts are able to point out what&amp;rsquo;s wrong with the home (so are you, that is why you called them) &amp;nbsp;however, many of these self proclaimed professionals are &amp;nbsp;inexperienced when it comes to determining the cause of the damage and what needs to be done to repair the home.&#xD;
There are some builders that will take the initiative and try to find the problem but with the residential construction market crashing, many simply don&amp;rsquo;t have the money for repairs. So your home doesn&amp;rsquo;t get fixed or only gets patched and the contractor goes away. When the problem returns you look for professional help. You hire an attorney and/or a construction expert. The attorney sends a letter to the builder spelling out all the defects. The builder turns the case over to their insurance company and the insurance company contacts their attorneys. Then after a few letters are exchanged the builder&amp;rsquo;s inspections are performed by their team of experts. The battle turns into what law is applied and how that law is interpreted instead of what is wrong, how do we fix it, who is responsible and how much will it cost.&#xD;
At this point I feel I should point out that the only people that make money in lawsuits are the attorneys and the experts. Typically both sides end up paying for these services out of pocket and while you can always ask for attorney and expert fees and costs in a lawsuit, my experience is you rarely recoup 100% of those costs even if you win.&#xD;
The truth about the attorneys and experts is many of them help each other make money. Since the attorney typically recommends the expert, some of the experts attempt to, shall we say, view things differently.&amp;nbsp; The plaintiff&amp;rsquo;s expert must have scratched glasses because everywhere he looks he sees cracks while the defense expert looks at the ceiling and then states he didn&amp;rsquo;t see any evidence that the foundation has moved and he saw no cracked floor tiles. Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle. (Recently a local engineer stated that even though the floor in a building had sunk 7 inches, it wasn&amp;rsquo;t moving when he looked at it so it is no longer a problem.)&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
The fact is these types of experts don&amp;rsquo;t help the case they slow it down and that, along with the attorneys bickering, results in increased costs. The builder&amp;rsquo;s insurance company pays then increases their fees the following year and the builder has even less money. This is one of the many problems with builders using the insurance company is their own persona warranty company&#xD;
Good News: Not all builders, attorneys or experts behave that way. I have had the pleasure of working on the opposite side of some experts that actually know what is wrong and want to see the home repaired properly. This really is a win win. The home owner gets the home fixed, and the builder is able to salvage their reputation. (Not to mention the attorneys and/or experts get paid.)&#xD;
Both sides can and should do several things to help control costs.&#xD;
Photo document everything. I don&amp;rsquo;t care if it is the foundation steel or the cracks in the walls. Use a measure of some kind. If you don&amp;rsquo;t have a tape measure simply place a dollar bill net to the defect you are photographing for a size reference. &amp;nbsp;Take several photos of everything from different angles and document the day the photo was taken and by whom. These photos can reduce the number of trips to the property and if taken during construction or repairs, may prevent, or reduce the amount of destructive testing that needs to be performed.&#xD;
Interview your team. &amp;nbsp;Find out what their experience is and what type of success they have resolving the issues. (This is different than settling the case). What other experts do they know and work with? Have they worked on other cases like yours? What are their fees and how do they bill?&#xD;
Try to find a construction expert that will work with both parties to resolve the issue before you hire the attorney. If you are going to hire an expert anyway, why not give them the chance to work with both parties to resolve the issue first. If they are successful, you saved the attorneys fees, if they are not, you will already have the information needed so it can expedite the process.&#xD;
Have the home professionally inspected before you purchase it. Take photos of the entire home interior and exterior and save the photos with your inspection report. If the damage existed when you bought the home, it will be documented, if it occurs after the purchase, that will be documented s well. Gathering evidence is one of the most expensive costs in a case. Taking photos or video of the entire home during construction, at the time of purchase, at the time of any repairs, and any other time can help your case and help keeps costs low.&#xD;

      <title>MOISTURE IN CONCRETE SLABS POURED ON GRADE IN ARIZONA</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_MOISTURE-IN-CONCRETE-SLABS-POURED-ON-GRADE-IN-ARIZONA/BLOG/290075/34209.html</link>
      <description>You bought a new home, ordered your options and moved in. A year or two go by and you start rearranging the furniture. That&amp;rsquo;s when you noticed the odor. You lifted the protective mat under your desk chair and the smell made your eyes water or maybe you smelled it when you opened a closet door or an unvented room. Did you order a light colored vinyl flooring for your kitchen but now the floor has a darker color coming through? Maybe it has a grey or green tint, maybe it has a purple or orange hue or maybe it has bubbled or lifted off of the floor.&#xD;
These problems and many others are caused by moisture vapor coming up through the concrete slab. This condition is occurring more frequently here in the Phoenix area and there are a few factors that contribute to the problem. Before we cover those factors, lets look at the problem a little closer.&#xD;
The Issues&#xD;
Moisture vapor coming up through a slab can cause wood floors to warp, delaminate swell and promotes mold growth. The moisture can cause the mastic that holds tile to the floor to fail, this leads to the floor tiles sounding hollow and lifting off the floor. The vapor frequently passes through carpet and other floorings unless there is some type of vapor barrier. Vinyl flooring creates a barrier by itself, other examples of barriers could be a chair mat, floor runners with a non-slip backing or anything else that prevents the moisture from escaping. The bottom line is, if moisture can&amp;rsquo;t pass through the flooring, then it is trapped under the flooring. That leads to the next question, where does the moisture come from?&#xD;
The Source&#xD;
The moisture typically comes from two sources. The water in the concrete mix slowly dries by traveling to the top of the slab and evaporating. This process can take six months to completely dry a properly placed slab. The other source of moisture is from the soil beneath the slab. Moisture evaporates and once concrete is placed on the ground, the evaporation of moisture in the soil is severely restricted. The moisture in the ground&amp;nbsp;is rarely viewed, discussed&amp;nbsp;or even considered an issue during construction since the slab is still in the drying process and there is not a large temperature difference above and below the concrete. However, this changes once the home is completed. Now the air inside the home is conditioned and the temperature change and pressure change along with the difference in relative humidity between the air above the slab and the soil beneath the slab causes a vapor pressure difference. Simply put, moisture travels from heat to cool. The moisture under the slab is drawn to the cool, dry, air conditioned concrete slab. Concrete is porous, it is not water proof and the moisture vapor rises to and passes through the slab by capillary action and vapor diffusion.&#xD;
The Cause&#xD;
Moisture under a slab wasn&amp;rsquo;t an issue in the desert a few years ago, but today is a different story. Today&amp;rsquo;s construction techniques are a little different, contractors are flooding building pads to address issues with the soil like compaction and expansiveness. Homes are also being constructed on properties that used to be agricultural land. This land may have been a dairy or a farm field that used to be irrigated frequently. Soils tests are commonly performed before the land is developed. Recently these soils tests results indicate moisture levels of 20% to 50% in the soil anywhere from two to 10 feet down. (it is rare that soil samples are taken below 10 feet deep) It takes a long time for moisture to rise to the top of a concrete slab from 10 feet down, maybe even years.&#xD;
Sometimes the grading and drainage of the property directs moisture into the soil below the foundation. This, in effect, can recharge the moisture source under the slab. There is also the possibility of an underground plumbing leak or the landscape system adding moisture to the soil under the slab. However, homes are built on moist soils all over the world, why do we have a moisture problem in the desert?&#xD;
Construction Issues&#xD;
The moisture is drawn up to and through the slab by capillary action, vapor diffusion and evaporation. The quickest way to prevent the moisture from migrating through the slab is to stop these actions from occurring.&#xD;
One of the things that need to change is the aggregate base course (ABC) that is being used in the desert. Currently the ABC is a sand/stone mixture, however sand promotes the capillary action and therefore makes a poor choice as ABC in an area where there is an elevated moisture content in the subsoils. Using a stone as ABC would help eliminate the capillary action.&#xD;
Another way to reduce the moisture is to provide adequate grading and drainage. This should include controlling roof drainage and diverting it at least 8 feet away from the foundation. The landscaping plumbing and control valves should also be located several feet away from the foundation as the control valves have a tendency to leak and the further away that moisture is from the foundation, the less impact it will have on the foundation.&#xD;
The most effective way to control the moisture is with a vapor barrier. This is a thin plastic sheet placed on top of the ABC before the concrete is poured. Previous construction practices would place the vapor barrier below the ABC or place a thin layer of sand on top of the vapor barrier so that moisture could escape through the top and bottom of the slab, however the moisture still migrates up through the slab. Placing the barrier below the sand or ABC creates a reservoir for the water that drains from the wet concrete and capillary action prevents moisture from draining by gravity through the sand.&#xD;
It may interest you to know that a vapor retarder is required by the International Residential Code (IRC) in section 506.2.3, however, it may be omitted if the local building official approves the omission due to local site conditions. So how is the issue corrected?&#xD;
Correcting the Issue&#xD;
The best way to get rid of the moisture in the slab is to prevent it from getting there in the first place. Check the moisture content of the soil, use ABC that is &amp;frac12; inch or larger and install a vapor barrier above the ABC and below the concrete. If the home is already built and you own it then you need the help of professionals.&#xD;
Have a calcium chloride test performed on the floor slab to determine the rate of vapor transmission through the slab. If floor coverings are present they will need to be removed before and during the testing. Testing commonly takes 24 to 60 hours. There are many different flooring companies that can perform this test for you, or contact the engineer you want to assist you with this project.&#xD;
Check for moisture sources around the home including grading, drainage, irrigation, roof downspouts, and swimming pools. Have the supply and the waste plumbing checked for leaks. If you still have not corrected the issue, then consult with professionals. Expect them to core through the slab and determine if a vapor barrier is present and investigate the conditions of the soil and ABC under the slab.&#xD;
Methods of repair are limited and should be considered fully before proceeding. The slab surface can be sealed. This will reduce or even stop the vapor transmission temporarily. A good sealer may last ten years, inexpensive sealers may not last a year. Before sealing, all floor coverings and furnishings will need to be removed from the slab. There are other methods of venting or draining the slab that are available, some involve forcing air under the slab or drawing air from under the slab. Another method is to install a drainage system that gets the moisture away from the slab. All of these repairs should be reviewed by an engineer before they are implemented, and the work should be performed by a contractor experienced in this area.&#xD;

        <media:description>You bought a new home, ordered your options and moved in. A year or two go by and you start rearranging the furniture. That&amp;rsquo;s when you noticed the odor. You lifted the protective mat under your desk chair and the smell made your eyes water or maybe you smelled it when you opened a closet door or an unvented room. Did you order a light colored vinyl flooring for your kitchen but now the floor has a darker color coming through? Maybe it has a grey or green tint, maybe it has a purple or orange hue or maybe it has bubbled or lifted off of the floor.&#xD;
These problems and many others are caused by moisture vapor coming up through the concrete slab. This condition is occurring more frequently here in the Phoenix area and there are a few factors that contribute to the problem. Before we cover those factors, lets look at the problem a little closer.&#xD;
The Issues&#xD;
Moisture vapor coming up through a slab can cause wood floors to warp, delaminate swell and promotes mold growth. The moisture can cause the mastic that holds tile to the floor to fail, this leads to the floor tiles sounding hollow and lifting off the floor. The vapor frequently passes through carpet and other floorings unless there is some type of vapor barrier. Vinyl flooring creates a barrier by itself, other examples of barriers could be a chair mat, floor runners with a non-slip backing or anything else that prevents the moisture from escaping. The bottom line is, if moisture can&amp;rsquo;t pass through the flooring, then it is trapped under the flooring. That leads to the next question, where does the moisture come from?&#xD;
The Source&#xD;
The moisture typically comes from two sources. The water in the concrete mix slowly dries by traveling to the top of the slab and evaporating. This process can take six months to completely dry a properly placed slab. The other source of moisture is from the soil beneath the slab. Moisture evaporates and once concrete is placed on the ground, the evaporation of moisture in the soil is severely restricted. The moisture in the ground&amp;nbsp;is rarely viewed, discussed&amp;nbsp;or even considered an issue during construction since the slab is still in the drying process and there is not a large temperature difference above and below the concrete. However, this changes once the home is completed. Now the air inside the home is conditioned and the temperature change and pressure change along with the difference in relative humidity between the air above the slab and the soil beneath the slab causes a vapor pressure difference. Simply put, moisture travels from heat to cool. The moisture under the slab is drawn to the cool, dry, air conditioned concrete slab. Concrete is porous, it is not water proof and the moisture vapor rises to and passes through the slab by capillary action and vapor diffusion.&#xD;
The Cause&#xD;
Moisture under a slab wasn&amp;rsquo;t an issue in the desert a few years ago, but today is a different story. Today&amp;rsquo;s construction techniques are a little different, contractors are flooding building pads to address issues with the soil like compaction and expansiveness. Homes are also being constructed on properties that used to be agricultural land. This land may have been a dairy or a farm field that used to be irrigated frequently. Soils tests are commonly performed before the land is developed. Recently these soils tests results indicate moisture levels of 20% to 50% in the soil anywhere from two to 10 feet down. (it is rare that soil samples are taken below 10 feet deep) It takes a long time for moisture to rise to the top of a concrete slab from 10 feet down, maybe even years.&#xD;
Sometimes the grading and drainage of the property directs moisture into the soil below the foundation. This, in effect, can recharge the moisture source under the slab. There is also the possibility of an underground plumbing leak or the landscape system adding moisture to the soil under the slab. However, homes are built on moist soils all over the world, why do we have a moisture problem in the desert?&#xD;
Construction Issues&#xD;
The moisture is drawn up to and through the slab by capillary action, vapor diffusion and evaporation. The quickest way to prevent the moisture from migrating through the slab is to stop these actions from occurring.&#xD;
One of the things that need to change is the aggregate base course (ABC) that is being used in the desert. Currently the ABC is a sand/stone mixture, however sand promotes the capillary action and therefore makes a poor choice as ABC in an area where there is an elevated moisture content in the subsoils. Using a stone as ABC would help eliminate the capillary action.&#xD;
Another way to reduce the moisture is to provide adequate grading and drainage. This should include controlling roof drainage and diverting it at least 8 feet away from the foundation. The landscaping plumbing and control valves should also be located several feet away from the foundation as the control valves have a tendency to leak and the further away that moisture is from the foundation, the less impact it will have on the foundation.&#xD;
The most effective way to control the moisture is with a vapor barrier. This is a thin plastic sheet placed on top of the ABC before the concrete is poured. Previous construction practices would place the vapor barrier below the ABC or place a thin layer of sand on top of the vapor barrier so that moisture could escape through the top and bottom of the slab, however the moisture still migrates up through the slab. Placing the barrier below the sand or ABC creates a reservoir for the water that drains from the wet concrete and capillary action prevents moisture from draining by gravity through the sand.&#xD;
It may interest you to know that a vapor retarder is required by the International Residential Code (IRC) in section 506.2.3, however, it may be omitted if the local building official approves the omission due to local site conditions. So how is the issue corrected?&#xD;
Correcting the Issue&#xD;
The best way to get rid of the moisture in the slab is to prevent it from getting there in the first place. Check the moisture content of the soil, use ABC that is &amp;frac12; inch or larger and install a vapor barrier above the ABC and below the concrete. If the home is already built and you own it then you need the help of professionals.&#xD;
Have a calcium chloride test performed on the floor slab to determine the rate of vapor transmission through the slab. If floor coverings are present they will need to be removed before and during the testing. Testing commonly takes 24 to 60 hours. There are many different flooring companies that can perform this test for you, or contact the engineer you want to assist you with this project.&#xD;
Check for moisture sources around the home including grading, drainage, irrigation, roof downspouts, and swimming pools. Have the supply and the waste plumbing checked for leaks. If you still have not corrected the issue, then consult with professionals. Expect them to core through the slab and determine if a vapor barrier is present and investigate the conditions of the soil and ABC under the slab.&#xD;
Methods of repair are limited and should be considered fully before proceeding. The slab surface can be sealed. This will reduce or even stop the vapor transmission temporarily. A good sealer may last ten years, inexpensive sealers may not last a year. Before sealing, all floor coverings and furnishings will need to be removed from the slab. There are other methods of venting or draining the slab that are available, some involve forcing air under the slab or drawing air from under the slab. Another method is to install a drainage system that gets the moisture away from the slab. All of these repairs should be reviewed by an engineer before they are implemented, and the work should be performed by a contractor experienced in this area.&#xD;

      <title>The hard truth about infrared (Real Estate Agents Read This)</title>
      <link>http://www.lbnnetwork.com/_The-hard-truth-about-infrared-Real-Estate-Agents-Read-This/BLOG/290073/34209.html</link>
      <description>I recently had a real estate agent ask me if infrared was a good thing and should she recommend it to her clients, my answer was a definite maybe, here is why.&#xD;
Every few years a new trend comes along that affects the home industry. These trends include mold, lead, radon, asbestos, moisture meters, microwave leak detectors and now infrared or thermal imaging.&amp;nbsp; These trends come with the homeowners protection in mind, however there are always people there trying to make a quick profit from the latest trend. &#xD;
Allow me to start by saying I am a home inspector and many of the home inspectors that read this will be very upset with me because they feel that the proper training and programs are not necessary, I will let you decide. I will also state that I believe mold, lead, radon, and asbestos &amp;nbsp;are all items that may need to be checked, however any testing needs to be performed by a trained professional and not someone that bought a sampler and attended a eight hour class and now calls themselves &amp;ldquo;certified&amp;rdquo;.&#xD;
Anyone in the US can purchase a thermal imaging device for a price starting around $3,000 but most quality units start in the $10,000 range. These units are incredible; however, just because you can buy a camera, does not make you a Thermographer. &amp;nbsp;Real training is needed to properly operate the thermal imager and to interpret the images. (this is why inspectors charge more for this service.)&#xD;
Limitations&#xD;
Like any tool these units have their limitations: They only measure surface temperature. (They can&amp;rsquo;t see through walls) There may be issues in a wall like moisture or missing insulation that effect the surface temperature of the wall and the thermal imaging device may detect those differences but infrared is not an X-Ray.&#xD;
Many surfaces are reflective and if not properly addressed can provide false readings. For example the heat from ceiling lights can be viewed on a wood laminate floor, Glass and ceramic tiles have a mirror effect when scanned with a thermal imaging device.&#xD;
The units are so sensitive that they can measure 1/10 of a degree F. This leads the inexperienced operator to spot items that appear to be major issues, only to discover later that there was a temperature difference of &amp;lt;1&amp;deg;F. I have been called to many projects where someone had an infrared camera and called out issues. When a contractor is hired to address the issue they are told &amp;ldquo;everything is fine, I couldn&amp;rsquo;t find a problem.&amp;rdquo; That is when I get called in. I will look at the pictures from the first person and try to recreate the conditions preset when they did their work, then determine if there is a real problem. Most of the time the problem is the previous operator.&#xD;
Training&#xD;
Here is the short version. Most people with infrared cameras have had some training and many will call themselves &amp;ldquo;Level One thermographers&amp;rdquo;, however even they don&amp;rsquo;t understand what that term means. A true &amp;ldquo;Level one certification is a single component of a Thermography program Standard that follows the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) guidelines for certification. That program needs to be overseen by a Level three thermographer. If someone tells you they are &amp;ldquo;Level One Thermographer&amp;rdquo; simply ask them who the level 3 thermographer is in their program; If they don&amp;rsquo;t have an answer than they are not meeting the ASNT standards. You also need to be aware of the certification stamping companies. Some are no more that a pay and be certified, some provide minimal training but there is no one there to verify who took the training or if the student can field demonstrate how to use&amp;nbsp; the thermal imaging device.There are also ASTM standards on how to use thermal imaging to perform different inspections, for example, there is a standard for &amp;nbsp;an insulation inspection on wood framed buildings.&amp;nbsp; That standard requires several things like recording the interior and exterior temperatures and making sure the difference between those temperatures meets the standard. The inspector needs to measure the wind speed and direction, the solar conditions, The building construction, levels, orientation, surroundings etc. If your inspector is not recording this data then they are not meeting the standard of care set up by ASTM. A qualified and ethical inspector will also understand building science and apply that knowledge while performing the thermal imaging. Simply put the infrared unit will not see moisture if it is not there so if it hasn&amp;rsquo;t rained in two weeks, it may not find the leaks. If the interior and exterior temperature are the same (very common in the spring and fall) then it is likely the camera will not be able to identify insulation issues.&#xD;
Now I return to the agents question: should she recommend it to her clients? &#xD;
Yes if the person performing the thermal imaging is properly trained to do so and you are aware of the conditions needed to properly conduct a thermal imaging inspection.&#xD;
If If your inspector is charging extra for scanning walls with infrared and it has not rained for a month and all of the windows of the home are open, then it is time to find someone else..&#xD;

The inspector needs to measure the wind speed and direction, the solar conditions, The building construction, levels, orientation, surroundings etc. If your inspector is not recording this data then they are not meeting the standard of care set up by ASTM. A qualified and ethical inspector will also understand building science and apply that knowledge while performing the thermal imaging. Simply put the infrared unit will not see moisture if it is not there so if it hasn&amp;rsquo;t rained in two weeks, it may not find the leaks. If the interior and exterior temperature are the same (very common in the spring and fall) then it is likely the camera will not be able to identify insulation issues.&#xD;
Now I return to the agents question: should she recommend it to her clients? &#xD;
Yes if the person performing the thermal imaging is properly trained to do so and you are aware of the conditions needed to properly conduct a thermal imaging inspection.&#xD;
If If your inspector is charging extra for scanning walls with infrared and it has not rained for a month and all of the windows of the home are open, then it is time to find someone else..&#xD;
