Courtyard Silver Spring North, Silver Spring, MD, United States Overview | Priceline.com Hotels

I was curious to see how much this hotel normally goes for and was shocked... $189 per night.  I always name my own price on Priceline.  I bid $60 for 3 1/2 stars in Silver Spring, MD and  I always get this hotel.  This is my sons favorite hotel so we stay here whenever I come up to DC.  We both like the indoor pool and jacuzzi plus it has a homely sort of atmosphere and the staff is really nice.  I can't believe what a steal I'm getting!  If you don't use Priceline, I recommend it.

As the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women (VAWA) approaches, advocates wonder will there be enough public support to pressure legislators into making the necessary changes to address gaps in the bill. The most important issue being the inclusion of dedicated funding to support core services for victims of sexual violence,funds that could be used to provide for women in crisis situations, such as safe houses, as well as provide for the on-going emotional healing, legal and economic needs of female victims......

FEMEN Solidarity Video Message to FEMEN Holland

A video created by FEMEN entitled, FEMEN Solidarity Message to FEMEN Holland, caused quite a stare when it was placed on YouTube and then linked to various individual's Facebook pages.

To some it came as a shock that people would be so upset to see this video because of the message and the aim, to send a message of solidarity to sisters in protest against overconsumption and corporate greed.  It was as if people forgot that there is such a thing as nonsexual nudity.  After all, one can walk into any art museum to find examples. However, this video was flagged on YouTube as obscene.  Since YouTube recognizes non-sexual nudity, the video was not taken down, simply marked as "age-restricted."

Jerry Sandusky Arrested on New Sex Abuse Charges - ABC News

10 Victims and 40 counts of of child molestation! At 67 years old, I bet Sandusky thought he was untouchable and why shouldn't he. After all, he has been doing this for decades, all while enjoying a posh life of a privilege. He claims he is being "turned into a monster" when in fact he is a monster, a predator, preying on innocent children in need, children whose parents did not have the economic means to provide extras for their kids and looked to Sandusky's program for help.

OMG.... Pepper Sprayed by Police at Kinston Walmart on Black Friday!!!

Talk about irony! Who knew that when I wrote the article "Veterans protesting at Smithsonian met with pepper-spray", back in October, I would end up being the victim of another pepper spray incident. It was Black Friday and their was a 32" TV advertised in the Walmart paper. I normally don't shop at that evil empire but my mom insisted. In the rural south there are not many options for shopping. I knew when I walked in that the night would be full of drama but I didn't know how much drama. It was a total nightmare. The store was unorganized and the sales people seemed lost.

My mom, excited to go shopping, pulled my sister and I into going shopping with her. We thought, "This is going to be a nightmare." However, we could have never predicted how our night would unfold.
