Massechussett School Rethinking Condom Policy After Complaints
The Provincetown school system will revisit its controversial policy of making condoms available to all students, with no age restriction, after Governor Deval Patrick expressed concern yesterday that very young children would have access to them.
A day after the new policy caused a media firestorm, School Committee chairman Peter Grosso said that Provincetown would probably limit condoms to fifth-graders and older. His stance stemmed from a conversation he had with Superintendent Beth Singer, author of the rule set to take effect this fall.
“She said the School Committee is going to have to revisit the policy and definitely reword it so it’s self-explaining, and possibly wording it so that maybe there would be an exclusion of the real young grades,’’ Grosso said.
In a rare intervention in a local matter, Patrick called Singer yesterday morning to urge her to keep the free condoms out of the Cape Cod community’s elementary school, which serves preschoolers to sixth-graders.
In a statement, he called the policy “not age appropriate’’ and objected to a provision requiring school officials to provide condoms despite parental objections.
“The governor is deeply concerned,’’ state Education Secretary Paul Reville told the Globe. “He had a good conversation [with Singer] and was encouraged that the community was willing to consider making this age appropriate and keeping parents involved in the process.’’
The wording of the policy technically makes condoms available to any Provincetown pupil, from preschoolers to high school seniors. But Singer and two committee members have assured critics that the policy would be enforced case by case and that, in practical application, condoms would not be given to young elementary school students.

We first shared this article here on Eternal Flame News on June 17th. Needless to say our response to the fact they this school was going to be handing out Condoms to children as young as 5 years old was more than just a little heated.
More than happy is how we feel that the school is "rethinking" their idea on condom distribution to elementary school students. We can only hope they also decide to not distribute condoms to any child in that school.
When in society did it become the schools responsibility to raise Americans Children and not their parents? Why aren't the parents taking more action to stop schools from taking their parental rights away from them? Why aren't there protests in the streets and on the sidewalks at the schools demanding this kind these kinds of things to stop? The more power we give to the Government and our Schools the less power we have to stop them. When things like this start to happen, and 5 year old's come home with Condoms in their pockets ready to have sexual intercourse at anytime.
When I was in school the only thing that I was ever taught was about the changes that girls go through. Getting their periods, developing breasts. Never once did they hand out condoms or talk about how a girl and a boy at age 11 could have sex. Even in High School there was never a sex-ed course or anything like that. I never learned how to put a condom on a banana, as some children are taught today. My parents taught me about Sex and how God made a sex to be only for a husband and his wife to show their love for one another and to create a baby. I have only been out of school for 11 years and in 11 years so much has changed in our public schools today. I feel for these little ones growing up in today's society and all this chaos they are facing.
There has got to be more parental control over our children today and less Government control. We must pray for the future generations of our Country because they are facing a hard road. May God protect them and guide them.
Worries That Tropical Storm Alex Could Effect Oil Spill Clean Up in Gulf
Click to read full story From Fox News
MIAMI -- Tropical storm Alex formed in the Western Caribbean Saturday, and forecasters said it was unclear if it would hit the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the coast of Belize and the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, which separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico.
It's too early to tell if the storm will hit the northeastern part of the Gulf, where the spill has spread over the past 10 weeks, Bevens said. While the current forecast track has the storm shifting away from the spill, Bevens noted that could change.

The topic of "what if a hurricane or tropical Storm should hit the Gulf During this Oil Spill" has been frequently talked about on our JMC LIVE show and in conversation with friends in recent weeks since the Oil Spill happened.
We can only pray that some how some way that a hurricane or Tropical Storm does not hit the Gulf washing the oil farther into land and causing more damage than ever before. Then in turn halting all work to clean up the oil. This would be terrible and we would be at the mercy of Mother Nature.
It is dark times our Country is in, but through the Light of Jesus Christ we can see the light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Census Bureau Managers Fired For Creating 10,000 Fake Questionnaires
Two Census Bureau managers from a Brooklyn field office were fired after their bosses found they faked household surveys to meet deadlines, the Daily News learned.
Instead of pounding the pavement and knocking on doors, the corner-cutting people-counters mined the phone book and Internet to make up answers to questionnaires, regional director Tony Farthing said.
The managers - turned in by whistleblower employees - were caught last week. Now, at least 10,000 surveys need to be done or redone, officials said.
Census officials in Washington only admitted to a string of incomplete forms and poor tracking in disclosing the firings Friday afternoon. But Farthing corroborated worker accounts to the Daily News that managers Alvin Aviles and Sonya Merritt began dummying up responses in the final crush to finish the surveys, which field workers are supposed to compile from in-person household visits.
"Basically, people were being asked to forge [questionnaires]," said one worker in the North East Brooklyn office, which covers 95,000 households.
"We went in and did a full investigation," Farthing said. "We found out two managers on the weekend of the 12th of June cheated by using phone books or Internet sources."
A worker told the Daily News that when field interviewers returned to the office with blank forms, Aviles also enlisted some of them in the scheme. "He had people fill them in," the worker said.

More and more problems just keep popping up with the U.S Census. Managers falsifying information on the forms. That is basically what happened to us on May 3rd the Census Worker wanted me to help fill out a form on my previous neighbors who didn't even live on my street anymore. Wanting me to help fill out the forms on them.
I am going to hate to see how many of these Census Workers have filled out forms like this and falsified the information just to get their work done and not have to actually go out and do the door to door work that they are suppose to do.
Since this whole Census Count has begun we have reported about our Interview we did with NBC 4 here in Ohio about this Census Worker that came to our door that was suspicious. How in New Jersey they hired a Registered Sex Offender who got the Census Job by giving out a False name and wasn't discovered until he went to a woman's home and she thought he looked familiar and looked online to see if he was a criminal or something. A Census Worker secretly video tape the managers showing them how to fill out their time cards to get paid for work they didn't do, and it seems the list just continues to grow.
To read these past articles type in "U.S Census" In the search box above and it will bring up all our old posts.
But I have asked older people in my community about all these problems with the U.S Census that has been coming to light in the past 2 months now. They tell me that in their entire life of going through a Census Count, that they have never heard or experienced so many problems as we are having this year with this Census Count.
There are still many questions that are not answered that we have about the U.S Census but it seems that they care getting closer and closer to being answered as we continue to see people coming forward and Blowing The Whistle on the illegal activities that is going on in the U.S Census Bureau.

The New Colossus-Emma Lazarus Poem for the Statue of Liberty
The New ColossusNot like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
By Emma Lazarus, 1883
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
' With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
European Court Rules Same Sex Marriag NOT A Universal Human Right
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that countries are not obliged to allow gay marriage, rejecting a bid by an Austrian couple to force the state to let them wed.
The court said the rights of Horst Michael Schalk and Johann Franz Kopf had not been violated by their inability to get married.
In Austria, same-sex couples can enter into legally recognized partnerships, similar to marriage but different in some ways.
A panel of seven judges ruled unanimously Thursday that the couple was not covered by the guarantee of the right to marry in Europe's human rights convention
.
The judges said there was "an emerging European consensus towards legal recognition of same-sex couples," but left it to individual states to decide what form that should take.
Oil Spill Reaches Florida Shores
Click to read full story from Fox News
NEW ORLEANS — More dirty evidence of the massive oil spill washed ashore along the Gulf Coast for residents who don't need anymore reminders of their frustration over failed efforts to stop the crude gushing from a blown-out undersea well.
In Florida, officials on Thursday closed a quarter-mile stretch of Pensacola Beach not far from the Alabama line when thick pools of oil washed up, the first time a beach in the state has been shut because of the spill. A large patch of oil oozed into Mississippi Sound, the fertile waters between the barrier islands and mainland of a state that has mostly been spared.
The news came as a cap collecting oil from the well was back in place after a deep-sea robot bumped it and engineers concerned about escaping gas removed it for about 10 hours Wednesday.
Even before that latest setback, the government's worst-case estimates suggested the cap and other equipment were capturing less than half of the oil leaking from the seafloor. And in recent days, the "spillcam" video continued to show gas and oil billowing from the well.
BP's pronouncements that it would soon be able to collect more spewing oil have "absolutely no credibility," Jefferson Parish Councilman John Young said. The latest problem shows "they really are not up to the task and we have more bad news than we have good news."
China Flooding Claims Hundreds Of Lives

(CNN) -- Soldiers and rescue workers on Friday pulled stranded people out of deluged swathes of southern China inundated by 11 days of heavy rain, state media said.
The rains have led to the deaths of 211 people in 10 provinces, while 119 others are listed as missing, according to Xinhua news agency.
Two dikes on the eastern Fu River in Jiangxi broke on Wednesday, forcing another 100,000 people to join the 2.3 million already evacuated, state officials estimated.
More than 29 million people have been affected by the flooding, Chinese media reported.
The government sent thousands of soldiers and rescuers to the region to assist in the evacuation effort and help repair the broken dikes.
Officials said the repairs will run through next week, though storms could hamper the effort, Xinhua said.
Eleven days of heavy rains in China caused the flooding, according to Xinhua.
112 year old Shipwreck Found In Lake Michigan
Click to read full story from Yahoo News
MILWAUKEE – A great wooden steamship that sank more than a century ago in a violent Lake Michigan storm has been found off the Milwaukee-area shoreline, and divers say the intact vessel appears to have been perfectly preserved by the cold fresh waters.
Finding the 300-foot-long L.R. Doty was important because it was the largest wooden ship that remained unaccounted for, said Brendon Baillod, the president of the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association.
"It's the biggest one I've been involved with," said Baillod, who has taken part in about a dozen such finds. "It was really exhilarating."
The Doty was carrying a cargo of corn from South Chicago to Ontario, Canada in October 1898 when it sailed into a terrible storm, Baillod said. Along with snow and sleet, there were heavy winds that whipped up waves of up to 30 feet.
The Doty should have been able to handle the weather. The ship was only five years old, and the 300-foot wooden behemoth's hull was reinforced with steel arches.
But it was towing a small schooner, the Olive Jeanette, which began to founder in the storm after the tow line apparently snapped, Baillod said. The Doty probably sank when it came to the schooner's aid. All 17 of its crew members died, along with the ship's cats, Dewey and Watson.
As a maritime historian Baillod spent more than 20 years researching the shipwreck. He knew that swaths of debris had washed up afterward in Kenosha, about 40 miles south of Milwaukee. But he found news accounts that it had last been seen closer to Milwaukee, near Oak Creek.
Meanwhile, a Milwaukee fisherman in 1991 reported snagging his nets on an obstruction about 300 feet under water. The observation was largely forgotten for decades until diving technology improved enough to enable exploration at that depth.
A number of explorers did some preliminary scouting on the lake's surface in recent months, using deep-sea technology to find a massive submerged object. Divers waited until last week to descend, when the weather was just right.
As soon as they got to the lake floor they knew they had found the Doty.
"It felt so good to solve this," said Jitka Hanakova, 33, a diver and captain of the charter boat that led the exploration. "This ship has been missing for so many years and it's one of the biggest out there."
Divers found the ship upright and intact, settled into the clay at the lake's bottom. Even the ship's cargo of corn was still in its hold.
The Doty is so well-preserved because it's in a cold, freshwater lake. It's also far enough below the surface that storms don't affect it.
