The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) group sounded the alarm Thursday about new media outlets such as Facebook, Google and Apple, which they say have written policies that violate the fundamental rules of free expression, particularly concerning religious free speech, says the Christian Post.
The NRB released a report at the National Press Club Thursday analyzing the various content policies of social networking websites. What they found was disturbing: new media platforms Facebook, Apple, Comcast, AT&T and Google have adopted policies to censor lawful viewpoints expressing Christian views or controversial ideas on “hot button issues.” Some platforms, such as Apple’s iTunes App Store and Google’s search engine, have already started to use those policies to remove orthodox Christian viewpoints considered “offensive” or too controversial.
Former Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth said, “The irony is the companies listed in this report are some of the most open companies in the world.”
In a January 2010 interview with TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington, Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg praised social networking for opening people up to share “more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people.”
However, Zuckerberg’s social network has removed content deemed “anti-gay,” according to the NRB report. It is unclear whether that censored material contained any religious expression. However, the NRB report warns, “The position of Facebook on the issue of homosexuality and its collaboration with gay right group the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination (GLAAD), coupled with its troublesome written policies, are all strong indicators that its social networking platform poses a high index of risk for anti-Christian discrimination.”

Who thinks they’re good at math? Okay, you’ve decided YOU are.
Yes, when we follow the directions as stated below we will all arrive at 111 as our answer.
However, the challenge for you is this:
Work out how exactly everyone can end up with 111, when all of us will have different birth dates??
Your Challenge:
This year we will experience 4 unusual dates…. 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 ….
NOW go figure this out…. take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it WILL BE EQUAL TO 111….. go ahead…do the math.
Are you still up for the challenge??
Sarah Palin took a shot at Michelle Obama during Sunday’s episode of her reality TV show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” alleging the first lady’s anti-obesity campaign attempts to deprive Americans of dessert.
While searching for s’mores ingredients on a family camping trip, Palin remarked: “Where are the s’mores ingredients? This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert.”
Mrs. Obama has been a key proponent of an initiative to improve children’s health by encouraging better diets and sufficient exercise. In May she announced her “Let’s Move” program, which promoted dessert alternatives, among other dietary suggestions.
One in 3 American children is overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other illnesses. Obesity is even more prevalent among black and Hispanic children. Some public health experts say today’s children are on track to live shorter lives than their parents.
But Palin has maintained that Obama’s effort to combat child obesity — which was recently aided by the passage of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act — is one that seeks to take away “God-given rights to make our own decisions.”
During an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s radio program last month, Palin complained: “Instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician’s wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back.”

SIDEBAR – Listen here missy, gun toting Mama,wannabe politician,ego tripping gal. Slow your damn roll!
Today is a new day. You may or may-not like or agree with President Obama decisions, but you should
respect him as your “President”. After all we put up with your GED mentality, I want to see the paper
work Sarah because I don’t believe you. Believe this everything happens for the good “PERIOD”. It takes
a person that forgives there self everyday, a person that loves themselves everyday, and a person that
thanks God daily for all. For we are all one, there is no separation. Get a grip Palin!
Trying to maintain and strengthen a healthy mid-life relationship isn’t easy. I hear from hundreds of women who tell me that their husbands have suddenly told them they no longer wish to be married. Men tell me that when they reached 50 something shifted in them and they just couldn’t imagine living the rest of their lives with the woman they’ve been sharing the same bed with for 30 or 35 years. Both men and women seem mystified to understand and explain what’s going on. “I could understand it,” one woman told me, “if he had been unhappy or we had been fighting. But there doesn’t seem to be any real reason he wants to leave. This is happening to my friends as well. What’s going on?”
In the last 42 years that I have been counseling men and women I have found an increasingly common phenomenon: Men who leave their wives for no apparent reason. It’s as though they wake up one morning and all the air has gone out of the relationship balloon. They look at the woman beside them, the same woman they vowed undying love for when they married, the same woman they said only weeks before that he couldn’t imagine a life without. Now he looks at her and he can’t wait to get away.
The simple answer you read about in every woman’s magazine is some variation on this theme: Men get tired of their older wives and hunger for an “arm charm” who is sexy, beautiful and who wants to ride off in the sunset on his new Harley that he was hungered for all his life; and now damn it he deserves a new bike and a new girlfriend to ride on the back.
But as Paul Harvey would tell us, you need to stay tuned for the rest of the story.
1. Men’s biological clock.
We all know that women go through menopause, after which they can no longer reproduce. Men go through Andropause, and though they experience many similar symptoms to what women go through, they come out the other side and can still have children. Many men leave, unconsciously of course, because they are drawn by their genes to “find someone young and reproductively viable to spread their genes and make more babies.”
2. Mr. nice guy get’s tired of being nice.
In the last 25 or 30 years as women have become more “liberated” they have wanted men who were more feeling, responsive, and attuned to the needs of the new woman. Many men responded and tried to be the kind of man these women wanted. They learned to change diapers, spend more time with the kids, do the dishes, and suppress their fantasies. The problem is they made a lot of changes to please the women in their lives and neglected to make the deep shifts in their own lives that would keep them in touch with their own needs. They became “nice.” Many women thought they were in heaven, that they had the prince charming they had dreamed about. However, at mid-life many nice guys run out of steam. They know how to please the woman, but have lost touch with how to please themselves. Many leave rather than face the fact that they have sold themselves out.
3. The problems that got covered over.
Related to the Mr. Nice Guy problem is that couples often avoid dealing with issues early on in their relationship and these problems come back to bite them later in life. It may be an affair or a serious romance that “being the liberated couple that we are, we learn to accept.” It could be having children that he never really wanted. It could be an intrusive in-law that they never dealt with. It could be a lack of good sex and deep intimacy that they let slide for too long. Whatever the problem, there comes a point where it bubbles to the surface. Since it has been avoided for so long, it’s easier for him to leave than have to go back and deal with the old wounds.
4. Child-hood wounds surface.
Most men, if we are honest with ourselves, grow up in families where we are abused. The abuse may be obvious: An alcoholic or violent father, a depressed mother, a brother who sexually molests you. Or other kinds of obvious abuse and neglect. The abuse can also be more subtle. A hard-working Dad who was never around. A mother who “loved you to death” and gave you no space to grow. A stressful environment that kept everyone anxious and worried. Whatever the problem they often surface at midlife. They act like sand in the gears of a smooth relationship and can often force it to grind to a halt.
5. Mid life depression.
Many men reach mid-life and their emotional world begins to come apart. The slide may be triggered by physical illness, the death of a parent, the loss of a job, or the dying of a dream. They begin to feel that their life has no direction. It’s as though the rudder of their ship has been damaged and they can’t steer a straight course. They feel lost and alone and terrified. However, on the outside they may appear to be on top of the world. They are successful a work and good husbands and fathers at home. However, the rust of despair is eating away at the foundation of their lives. Afraid to confront the wreckage of the past, they go for the quick fix. Their unconscious mind grabs a hold of their psyches and whispers, “Get away, get away. It’s your old life and your old wife that is the problem. Create a new life and everything will be fine.”
Contrary to literary tales, we must go home again. We can’t run away from ourselves. Mid-life is either a time of withdrawal and retreat or a time to go deeper. We either heal the old wounds or they will eat away at our bones.
Head turner, ball-er, all that and a bag of chips! lol lol Yes your are dear Pisces. WOW! Let me catch my breathe. You have been busy, and especially in August and September. Very good you’re lining up everything you need to finish out the year as a accomplished person, which you are. (you know that)
Money seems to be a problem, but you know what that will change. You will receive a big break, as in a promotion, inheritance, job, marriage, lottery. You will be blessed by the Universe, why – because you deserve it my dear. Don’t get to happy with holiday shopping. It might not be up to your standards. Suggestion this year make some home gifts, sometimes those mean more than store bought – feel me.
If you have animals be sure and keep up with there health concerns. Some areas of USA this winter will be really bad, and you know our animals are our children as well too! Enjoy a funky Halloween Pisces!
Now is not the time to stammer and pout. Come on Aquarius think about what your doing really???
Back to basics, a lot this year has been good, but could be a lot better. I want you to think twice and speak once when communicating with folks. You have never been a big holidays person, but this year try and change that, and get out there and participate. I don’t care if it’s a community function, church, group, or organization just get involve. You will feel better for it, believe me. Work on trying to change your attitude on how you view yourself. You “ego” is your worse enemy, change that shyt. Forgive your “ego”, and thank the Holy Spirit for helping you. After all you are the humanitarian of the zodiac, you are supposed to guiding the rest of us home. Your intelligence is phenomenal, as well as your heart. So let’s start sharing some more of it with others.
You are now awake! Keep reading, because it’s true “a mind is a terrible thing to waste”. This year has been a big learning curve for you dear Capricorn. Learning is fundamental, but for you it was your chosen spiritual path of enlightenment. Judge not unless you be judge. Your mind is bright and spiritual access.
Material things have always been important to you, and now you see, there is no needing or wanting, just is. Everything does happen for a reason, to reveal itself when it is time. There are decisions that have to made by the end of the year. Know these decisions paint a portrait of who you are, and what you want in this life. I would say like Nike “just do it”, and it will happen faster than you realize. You like your sign the goat is always climbing new areas of life, which is good, just remember to stop and smell the roses. Sometimes dear Capricorn you become to driven, and your body surely let’s you know that OK! You are learning to think with your mind, not your body or ego, and thru this you are becoming who you really are.
Enjoy the holidays, and that new love just around the corner, or is in your life at the present time.
Life sometimes is like a roller coaster you ride that puppy, sideways, up and down, curves, until it comes to the end, what a ride I say, glorious and magnificent ride.
Bring it on, after what you have been through this year. You feel as though you can handle anything at this point, and you no Sag you are probably right. WOW! it’s been a little rough around the preferably edge so to speak for you. Give and take, then take and give, how confusing is that! All you want is some peace and relaxation. Well hold on there Sag, because it does get better as they say what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger is so true. Work is at a stalemate so don’t worry, there won’t be anymore major changes for you for the rest of the year thank God. It’s been one helluva bumpy road recently. Time to march to a different drummer your own. You have forgiven not forgotten, and that is fine, just leave it with Spirit and let things be handle that way. The more you step away and let what is happen, the better it will be for you.
Ride your horse to victory by November, things will finally start to look up in a big way for the good.
If you both agree at a conscious level that the purpose of your relationship is to create an opportunity, not an obligation – an opportunity for growth, for full Self expreession, for lifting your lives to their highest potential, for healing every false thought or small idea you ever had about you, and for ultimate reunion with God through the communion of your two souls – if you take that vow instead of the vows you’ve been taking – the relationship has begun on a very good note. That’s a very good beginning. Regardless of what the relationship is!
On the other hand, if you enjoy going through relationships like WATER – or worse yet, staying in one because you think you “HAVE TO”, THEN LIVING A LIFE OF QUIET DESPERATION – IF YOU ENJOY REPEATING THESE PATTERNS, from your past, keep right on doing what you’ve been doing.

That’s the problem with truth. The truth is relentless. It won’t leave you alone. It keeps creeping up on you from every side, showing you what’s really so. That can be annoying, lol.
