| Oklahoma Legislators Override Anti-Life Veto of ... - Catholic Online Posted: 27 Apr 2010 04:18 PM PDT The actions of the Oklahoma legislators points out the essential importance of the midterm elections in the United States. We need men and women who will not compromise on the fundamental human Right to Life to run for every vacant seat in the House and the Senate. Then we need to elect them to office. The potentially lethal power of an Executive Veto can be stopped. It can be done by a vote to override from courageous legislators. The Oklahoma State Capitol Building. OKLAHOMA CITY (Catholic Online) - On April 27, 2010, those men and women of conscience in the Oklahoma Senate did what every elected representative with a conscience should always do. They stood for Justice. They overrode the Unjust Veto of a Governor who failed to recognize the fundamental Human Right to Life. In so doing, they also revealed the latest chapter in the real civil and human rights struggle of our age, the effort to protect our youngest neighbors in the womb from being killed by procured abortion. Procured abortion is always the wrongful killing of the innocent. This is not only a religious position; it is a human and a human rights position. Even if the current positive law still provides a modicum of legal protection for the killing, truth, science and a true understanding of justice is on the ascent. These elected representatives also gave us a window through which we can view the importance of the upcoming National election. Governor Brad Henry rejected the expressed will of the people of Oklahoma. He took his stand alongside all those in public office who have sided with the barbarians who continue to promote the lie that it is OK to kill the innocent. They are on the wrong side of history. He upheld the use of Police Power of the State to promote a fundamentally unjust act, killing the innocent. Medical Science has confirmed what our consciences and the Natural Law have long revealed, the child in the womb is our neighbor. It is always and everywhere wrong to kill our neighbors. Intrauterine surgery and 4D sonogram technology reveals the truth about the humanity of our smallest neighbors. There are few voices left who are trying to argue that those little girls and boys are anything less than human persons. No, they try to justify the brutality of procured abortion based upon such contrived notions and legal fictions such as using a "right to privacy" and a "right to choice" to hide savagery. What other group of persons is allowed to be killed by another group of persons with more power - and then have that savage act protected by the positive law? At issue in Oklahoma were two pieces of very just and appropriate legislation. One requires any woman in Oklahoma who is considering an abortion to first undergo an ultrasound and be given the medical facts concerning the child who is living and growing within her womb. A fully informed consent is always required before major surgery, right? I guess not when the issue is abortion. The other prohibits women from suing their physician after birth if he or she failed to give information which would have disclosed that the child had a disability. The obvious and commendable intent of this legislation is to prevent discrimination against children with disabilities. Everyone believes in that, right? I guess not when it comes to abortion. The majority of the elected legislators of Oklahoma passed the legislation, reflecting the will of the people who sent them to office. The Governor vetoed it. So the elected legislators overrode the veto. That means, in effect, the Bill now becomes law. The Governor tried to justify his errant action by calling the legislation an unlawful intrusion into the privacy of the mother. Of course, the fundamental Right to Life of the children in the womb whose lives will be saved as a result of such reasonable legislation was of no concern to him. He also claimed that the legislation would be challenged in the Courts and that such a legal proceeding would waste taxpayer's money. You know how that argument goes. We live in an age where human persons have become commodities to be traded as property. However, the word out of Oklahoma is good news. The trend is clear and the proponents of death on demand recognize the writing is on the wall. Oklahoma is not alone. Nebraska recently passed legislation recognizing fetal pain as a consideration in late term abortions. Kansas legislators passed legislation requiring fuller disclosure to the mother concerning the truth about the child in her womb as well as what occurs during abortion. Another misguided Governor vetoed that measure on April 15. However, an effort is underway to override his veto. Over twenty States have similar legislation pending which will increase the necessity of giving full and complete disclosure to the mother, require waiting periods or mandate the use of ultrasound technology. In addition the passage of the Nationalized Health Care Legislation has led to a flood of efforts to protect States from having to participate in "health care exchanges" which would use monies set aside for health care to kill children in the womb. They rightly refuse to call such feticide a health care service. The actions of the Oklahoma legislators points out the essential importance of the midterm elections in the United States. We need men and women who will not compromise on the fundamental human Right to Life to run for every vacant seat in the House and the Senate. Then we need to elect them to office. The potentially lethal power of an Executive Veto can be stopped. It can be done by a vote to override from courageous legislators. That is true whether that Executive resides in the Capital of Oklahoma or in Washington, D.C. - - - Deacon Keith Fournier asks that you join with us and help in this vital mission by sending this article to your family, friends, and neighbors and adding our link (www.catholic.org) to your own website, blog or social network.

| Champions League Comment: Bayern Munich And Ivica Olic ... - Goal.com Posted: 27 Apr 2010 03:07 PM PDT Bayern Munich, the first team to reach the Champions League final? Ivica Olic, challenging Lionel Messi for the Champions League top scorer award? A good feeling at the Allianz? Some of Europe's hottest property in top form? Imagine saying all that when Juergen Klinsmann was in charge. Yet here we are, just a year later, and FC Hollywood have become a blockbuster proposition. The 3-0 win for the Germans at the Gerland against Lyon was flattering - to the hosts, that is. Bayern have hardly played an easier game all season, seven-goal horsing of Hannover included. Credit goes to Bayern's effortless possession play and not to mention the pantomimic sending-off of Lyon stalwart Cris for questioning the wisdom of a card-happy, po-faced Massimo Busacca. Yet - and I'm ready to face all accusations of being a nit-picking killjoy - there is the sense that Bayern might be setting themselves up for a fall. It's precisely because they did not truly face opposition in this semi-final that they must worry about the final. In the knockout stages, Bayern squeezed past Fiorentina in dubious circumstances before once again edging Manchester United. Defeating last season's losing finalists merits congratulation; to do so while they are stricken by injury, and by the narrowest of margins, is still gutsy, but speaks less of talent than it does of grit and, dare I say it, luck.
These qualities are necessary but not sufficient for top-level silverware. Inter and Barcelona both have it, but also something more. Bayern may yet find to their cost that, despite their undoubted progress and their new legion of continental admirers, they lack that little bit of class required. For all the industry of a Thomas Mueller there is the genius of a Messi waiting at the other side. Still, there is hope. In Arjen Robben, as I argued earlier, there is perhaps the most decisive player on the continent. Bastian Schweinsteiger is reminding observers just why his name became famous in the first place. Above all, in Louis van Gaal there is a coach who, if not quite at the level of Jose Mourinho, remains one of Europe's most formidable managers. All it will take is for four, perhaps five such elements to collide on one night in Madrid to give Europe a shock it won't forget in a hurry. But can it happen? Talking (Too Much) Point Lyon's first semi-final appearance ended with a whimper in front of a Gerland crowd deserving more. Were some men to preside over such a failing they would not emerge for days. Yet after the match coach Claude Puel braved the press in the French manner: right away. In some countries, such as England and Spain - and to some extent Germany - one does not speak to the coach until he is ready. In France, often the referee hasn't quite finished blowing his whistle before microphones are thrust into faces. Perhaps, then, being rushed is an excuse for what Puel chose to state. "It's a shame not to have equalised," he said. "After Cris was sent off it was difficult: they controlled the game and made us run. We had chances to get back into the game and the scoreline is harsh compared to the players' investments." Puel could perchance take a lesson from the Germans in the opposing dressing room before coming out with such ludicrous fictions: wenn Mann keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal Fresse halten. His words, surely, surely cannot ring true with the Lyon support. Puel brought them this far - something the likes of Le Guen, Houllier and Santini couldn't manage - but on the strength of this showing, and this analysis, can take them little further.

| Top 5 Affordable Cellphones Companies for Seniors - Associated Content Posted: 27 Apr 2010 09:16 AM PDT For senior citizens, safety comes first. Having an easy to use cell phone that does not cost a lot on hand makes it much easier to get around without worry. It is something that is now even recommended. So finding the right cell phone company may get a little hard for some people, even with all of the companies we have scattering the US. So here are my top five picks of cell phones/cell phone companies that are best for senior citizens. Number 5 Straight talk This is the newest prepaid phone to hit shelves lately. It is actually a great deal, if you are looking to have a plan minus all the snags that you get with a regular cell phone company. If a senior citizen were to have this cell phone, they would not have to worry about the phone being turned off in the middle of the month as long as they still have minutes or have bought the unlimited plan monthly card. The price ranges for these are 30 dollars for the regular minute plan that includes 1000 minutes/1000 texts/ and 30mb of internet usage. The nest plan up is 45 dollars for unlimited talk/txt/internet usage. The phones to go with these plans range in price and style from store to store, but online the selection is LG and Samsung ranging in price from 30-over a hundred dollars. This is a good choice for a senior citizen, since it has everything you may need. But it may be a bit pricey for some that is why it is number five on my list. Number 4 Consumer cellular This is a cell phone company made specifically for seniors. It has great prices and okay plans. The plans for this phone are specifically made for the elderly and range from 10 dollars all the way to 60 dollars. Their 60 dollar plan is the best including 2000 minutes of airtime, and 10 cents for each additional minute. The phone prices are great too ranging from free to 40 dollars. Certain discounts apply for AARP costumers. This is a great cell phone company for those looking for an emergency only phone, or even a decent monthly prepaid plan. Still on the pricey side for a decent amount of minutes has this cell phone company at number four. Number 3 Tracfone Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
