Child Custody & Divorce: Considerations for Alternative Lifestyles
Child Custody & Divorce: Considerations for Alternative Lifestyles
The problems that arise in child custody disputes between spouses and partners create special concerns for members of the SM/leather/fetish/poly communities. In addition to the general tribulations that arise with privacy and personal security, these issues also require difficult decisions at a time of great stress. These choices often require making priority assessments between personal and family considerations. This presentation provides a framework for
evaluating choices and seeking advice and counsel.
Doing SM Related Legal Research
Doing SM Related Legal Research
The law is interpreted – sometimes to our favor, and sometimes not. For example, while the NCSF firmly believes that consensual SM activity between adults is legal, there are those that have a differing opinion and will intentionally interpret the law in an unfavorable way. Therefore, it is extremely important for the SM- Leather-Fetish communities to have an understanding of the laws that may affect us. Knowing relevant laws will greatly assist our communities in safely organizing and maintaining SM-Leather-Fetish activities and functions.
There are numerous laws, ordinances, and regulations at all levels of government - federal, state, regional, county and city. It's not easy to locate all of the laws that may affect us, but it's very important. You should make every attempt to thoroughly research your laws if your activities may come under the scrutiny of law enforcement or local authorities. In addition, NCSF recommends that thorough legal research should include consultation with a knowledgeable attorney, state Attorney General, local prosecutor, or other legal authority, familiar with the current interpretation of the law for the jurisdiction in question.
Obviously, it is impossible to provide a comprehensive list of every law and its interpretation for every jurisdiction, so this material is designed to give the reader a basic understanding of legal research and the tools to get started.
Protecting Your Event
Protecting Your Event
There are many considerations organizers must contend with when planning a large event. Large events include educational and social conferences, leather contests, weekend play parties, vendor markets, swing events and club run0s. In light of recent attacks by religious and political extremists, here are some suggested guidelines for protecting your event and attendees.
Protecting Yourself Legally
Protecting Yourself Legally
Members of the SM/leather/fetish communities have always had some level of concern regarding the issues of privacy, discretion, and personal security. The Radical Right, employers, ex-partners, and others may pose threats to these concepts. Many times their motivation comes from ignorance, but new motivations like custody of children, and revenge are also becoming commonplace. This presentation provides tips for protecting yourself legally for various circumstances.
Swing Groups & Law Enforcement: Group Issues
Swing Groups & Law Enforcement: Group Issues
It is important for swing groups and businesses to have an understanding of the relationship between the swing community and law enforcement, as well as the numerous legalities that can effect group functions. Once this is accomplished, your group can dispel myths, educate members, and constructively interact with law enforcement as the need arises. This presentation will focus on three aspects:
- interacting with local law enforcement,
- avoiding legal trouble, and
- group considerations.
Approaching Your Local Authorities
Approaching Your Local Authorities
The purpose of this presentation is to educate law enforcement, prosecutors, or other authorities about SM-Leather- Fetish and/or swing practices on behalf of a local group(s). NCSF's goal in presenting this material is to help local group(s) to develop a positive relationship with their local authorities. The contents and delivery method of the outreach presentation are designed on a case-by-case basis. We suggest that local groups work together when presenting info
to local officials.

Zoning for SM & Swing Groups and Businesses
Zoning for SM & Swing Groups and Businesses
Zoning and permit issues are commonly used as a tool of local governments when seeking a method to attack SM groups and businesses. Typical "crimes" such as indecent exposure, lewd conduct, and the like are subject to interpretation by the police, prosecutor, and courts. Successful prosecution is
certainly possible but not guaranteed. Zoning and permit violations tend to be very cut and dry comparatively. For this reason, administrative issues are frequently used as tools to either move or shut down SM activities.
It is important for our community to have an understanding of these administrative rules in order to safely organize and maintain SM activities and functions. Zoning and permits vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This discussion will attempt address these issues in a general, overview
fashion. The attendees will benefit from the experiences of the panelists who have all dealt with legal and/or scene?related administrative issues.
There are numerous licensing, zoning, and permit requirements at all levels of government ? federal, state, regional, county and city. It's not easy to determine what licenses and permits you'll need, but it's very important. You should thoroughly research this issue if your SM organization or business may come under the scrutiny of law enforcement or local authorities. If you ignore these issues, you may face expenses and hassles you hadn't anticipated, and certainly don't desire.
Administrative (zoning, permit, and license) requirements can affect where you locate your organization or business, limit or require some remodeling, whether or not you'll have to provide off? street parking, whether you can serve alcohol, whether you can charge admission at the door, etc. If requirements are too restrictive you might decide to avoid the hassle and move to another jurisdiction ? if you find one that has fewer restrictions. Each jurisdiction has its own system of licensing, zoning, and permits. Obviously, it's impossible to provide a comprehensive list of every permit and license in every jurisdiction, so we must address items in general.

The Alleged Domestic Violence Call
The Alleged Domestic Violence Call
It is important for SM/leather/fetish persons to have an understanding of the relationship between the SM community and law enforcement and of the numerous legal issues that can effect us ? specifically the law enforcement response to an alleged domestic violence call. Once this is accomplished, we can constructively interact with law enforcement if the need arises. This presentation will focus on two aspects of this relationship ? constructively dealing with officers and avoiding legal trouble. This workshop does not go in depth about the "cycle of abuse" or "real/actual" domestic violence, rather it is about consensual SM being misinterpreted as domestic violence by law enforcement. The discussion is designed to include the following sub?topics:
- Our attitudes towards law enforcement
- The attitudes of law enforcement toward the SM community and SM activities
- Reasons for law enforcement to take action against a SM activities
- Effective interaction with law enforcement
- Society's domestic violence concern
- The alleged domestic call
- Things SM persons should do
- Things SM persons could do
The law is a complex and ever?evolving system and has a long way to go before it takes all alternative lifestyles into consideration. In the meantime, we need to be as familiar with the law and of law enforcement as we can be. Utilizing our knowledge, people skills, and common sense, we can hopefully avoid becoming victimized by the society we live in.

The law is a complex and ever?evolving system. Its intent is to safeguard all the members of our society. However, it has a long way to go before it takes all alternative lifestyles into consideration. Eventually we will get there, but, in the meantime, we need to be as familiar with the law and law enforcement as we can be. Utilizing our knowledge, people skills, and common sense, we can hopefully avoid becoming victimized by the society we live in.

On April 14, The Geffen Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles held a press preview of its highly anticipated "Art In The Streets" exhibition. A tactfully curated examination into the development of street art and culture, the exhibit features installations from some of the most respected names in graffiti and street art and represents the first major survey of its kind in the US.
In addition to globally recognized names like Banksy, Lee Quinones, Futura, Os Gemeos, Fab 5 Freddy, Swoon, Shepard Fairey and JR, the show examines the role Los Angeles artists have played in the development of street art and graffiti. Local legends like Craig R. Stecyk III, Chaz Bojórquez, Mister Cartoon, Robbie Conal, RETNA, SABER, REVOK, and RISK all have featured work.
Several curated sub shows within "Art In The Streets" give historical context and insight into the development of street art including a section devoted to New York's Fun Gallery featuring works from Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquait, a space devoted to the film, "Wild Style," a memorial presentation of Battle Station from artist RAMMELLZEE, and a lifelike re-creation of an urban street scene by Todd James, Barry McGee, and Steve Powers.
Filmmakers and photographers credited with documenting the movement are also celebrated including names like Terry Richardson, Spike Jonze, Martha Cooper, Steve Grody, Gusmano Cesaretti, Estevan Oriol, Henry Chalfant, James Prigoff, Ed Templeton and Larry Clark.
The exhibition also ties in skateboarding and its contributions and relevance to the development of street art with a skatable art area designed to reflect the unique contours of the urban landscape.
"Art In The Streets" is open to the public April 17 through August 8 at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.
An accompanying "Art in the Streets" book is also available.

Perhaps we can think of the periodic lighting of the "M" on Socorro Mountain as the modern equivalent of a New Mexico Tech tradition that is almost one hundred years old.
Starting in 1910, then-New Mexico School of Mines students carried lime up the mountain to "whitewash" the rocks which spell out the letter "M" on the peak formally known as Socorro Mountain.
These days, the illumination has copper and tungsten origins instead of limestone and dihydrous oxygen.
"We light up the 'M' for finals week, for graduation, and at the beginning of the semester," said Van Romero, New Mexico Tech's Vice President for Research and Economic Development.
"It's lit for finals week as a way of wishing the students good luck," Romero said. "And we light it up at the beginning of the semester so students can find their way back to Socorro."
As a former student at New Mexico Tech, Romero has first-hand knowledge behind his tongue-in-cheek comment.
Until 1985, painting the "M" had been an annual tradition at the "small school on the Rio Grande," also the name of a book written by former New Mexico Tech history professor, Paige W. Christiansen.
In his book, Christiansen explains that the early years of whitewashing the M (from 1910 to 1916) were unorganized as a student affair until School of Mines President Fayette Jones suggested that two days be set aside annually to repaint the rocks.
Jones envisioned the event as an overnight camping trip; but overnight trips were difficult to organize and manage, wrote Christiansen.
Instead, he said, beginning in the 1920s, the sophomores and the freshmen waited until " the first snow flies" to climb the mountain and mix lime with melted snow to do the job.
"The pattern changed, however, for there was no snow," wrote Christiansen. "The lime continued to be carried to the top of the mountain by hand, but water was supplied by truck."
In 1958, "painting the M" became part of the annual St. Patrick's tradition, St. Paddy being the patron saint of miners.
Over time, the sophomores laid aside their paintbrushes to supervise the freshmen. "Cash prizes were awarded to the team of two who first arrived at the M with a 90-pound bag of lime," wrote Christiansen.
"It was a festive occasion and promoted considerable spirit amongst the students," he wrote.
These days, Lisa Garcia, administrative assistant to the vice president, presses a switch, and presto! let there be light on the mountain, minus the lime and water.
According to Romero, in the early days of lighting the M, ropes of loose wire were laid on the ground and fashioned into the shape of the letter.
Mountains and wire being natural temptations for kids, it wasn't long before the younger generation discovered the loose wire and rearranged the letters to form a "W."
Whether the young hikers did it intentionally or not, the "W" stands for the first letter of "Warriors," the mascot of Socorro High School athletic teams.
New Mexico Tech picked up the cue, and now lights the "W" for high school graduation and key athletic events.
These days, the loose wires have been replaced with conduit and cement and a remote-controlled switch in Brown Hall.
Less romantic, more efficient; less muscle, more technology; less remembered, more nostalgic.
This Saturday, the New Mexico School of Mines graduating class of 1954 will be honored at New Mexico Tech commencement exercises.
The five graduates returning to their alma mater will recall the days when they hauled 90-pound bags of limestone on their young backs up a 2,550-foot climb some three miles from campus and 7,243 feet above sea level.
If asked to repeat the feat today, they might just opt for flipping on a switch.
But they'll be electrified by the memories nonetheless.

Peter. As you know I did some trials with adding ascorbic acid to doughs trying to get non bromated flours to perform like bromated flours. I was unsuccessful, but after reading this I would like to try a few more times. I wonder if I wasn't using enough during my first trials. Do you have a guess as to what percentage I should use to get close to 55 ppm in a dough formulation? I usually use the expanded pizza calculator on our forum, so I could easily plug a number into that. By the way our friend in toronto seems to be doing very well. It is crazy how different the flours (and the cheeses) are up there. We have been trying a bunch of different ones, and many do come with ascorbic acid there.
John,I was getting ready to ask you what conclusions your drew from your experiments on the bromated vs. ascorbic acid doughs when I saw your recent post on your conclusions. I was doing some research on the General Mills high-gluten flours and, interestingly, it looks like the only high-gluten flour they offer that has the ascorbic acid is the King Kaiser, at 45-55 ppm (http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/king-kaiser-flour-bleached-ascorbic-acid-enriched-malted-50-lb/54472000?mct=Flour&ct=high-gluten&typ=Type). As best I can tell, the only All Trumps flour that GM offers that has the same specs as the King Kaiser flour, but for the use of the bromate, is the version at http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/all-trumps-flour-bromated-enriched-malted-50-lb/50121000?mct=Flour&ct=general-mills-all-trumps&typ=Brand. That version comes in a 50-pound bag. Is that the version you used for your experiments? I ask this question because that version is not bleached. GM sells a bleached and bromated All Trumps flour but only in 25- and 100-pound bags, and the specs for those flours are slightly different than the specs for the unbleached bromated All Trumps (see, for example, the specs for the 25-pound bag bleached/bromated All Trumps at http://www.professionalbakingsolutions.com/product/all-trumps-flour-bleached-bromated-enriched-malted-25-lb/50115000?mct=Flour&ct=general-mills-all-trumps&typ=Brand). Some time ago, when I was trying to clone the Papa John's dough, I saw from the ingredients list I was able to get for their dough that they used ascorbic acid. I suspected that PJ might have been using something along the lines of a high-gluten flour or maybe a bread flour so I used 45-55 ppm of ascorbic acid, which is the amount that GM typically uses when adding ascorbic acid to its high-gluten and bread flours. I don't recall how I converted 45-55 ppm to a volume measurement, but for my amount of dough it was between a "smidgen" and a "pinch" mini measuring spoon. I was hoping to learn something from that experiment, but I could not detect any difference from using the ascorbic acid. As an aside, I see that GM apparently no longer uses ascorbic acid for its Harvest King flour. My recollection is that at one time they used it for both the retail and professional versions of that flour. Peter
Such great experimenting, thanks John! The way you report/keep track of your findings, as always, is most impressive and beneficial....it is much appreciated. Please, what is your "usual" flour used there at the shop for the crackers?
Thanks BobHere's an interesting story from real life. When I started in the business we used nothing but Mondako flour. It was mandatory, at the time I was part of a franchise and we all used Mondako. After I got out of the franchise, I started experimenting, and ended up using an ADM high gluten flour for years and years. I can't remember exactly which ADM product it was because it was under the Food Services of America label. But I do know that it was bleached and had ascorbic acid. Well, last winter we went through a hell of a time with our flour, and we just couldn't get it to work...ADM was having a hard time bringing in the new crop of flour. After a couple discussions with Scott, we tried changing hydration rates, we tried adding diastatic malt...we tried it all. So, we switched to All Trumps, the unbleached stuff, and it has been amazing so far...we'll see what happens this winter. With the low hydration rate of our dough, we see changes in flour very quickly. The question I have about flour now that I have experimented a little bit more is this: does the bleaching process and the addition of conditioners make a flour more consistent....it sure didn't work for ADM last year...how about with General Mills??John
John,I enjoy watching your experiments and it is no secret that you have continual positive results with extended fermentation time windows.What is your genuine opinion(as far as taste) between a same day, 24hr., and 48hr. dough, concerning the type you work with...thank you.Bob
I have been using all trumps, full strength, and harvest king for years. All trumps and full strength always seem to be the same (and are bromated/conditioned), where harvest king seems to change (not bromated/conditioned)
Anyway Bob, that's how I like my pizza.John
Me three John! Esson's description is spot on and the best pie I've lucked upon in my oven was from one of your recipes/formulas about a year ago. This is the cause for my current questions of you because I am finally, really paying attention and taking most important notes/filing. Hope you don't feel I'm being a pest, John, I appreciate that you are a busy man...and likewise, appreciate your time/contributions here on our 'lil forum.You are a good pizza person.... Bob
John,You pies look terrific. I have enjoyed watching your experiments. So do you think the better tastes in the crust and better pizzas are really from reballs and not the ascorbic acid?I also did a few experiments with ascorbic acid and other ingredients. I never really had any conclusions because I didnt continue with those experiments, but they were fun. This is one link to the thread that I was playing around with ascorbic acid, ginger and other homemade dough conditioners at Reply 157 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13385.msg138709.html#msg138709 You can see Peters post next after mine.Norma
NormaIf one was going to try a "real" experiment...he would pick one bag of flour, take samples from it, and add potassium bromate to some, ascorbic acid to some and leave some plain....Now THAT would be the way to experiment. Since I don't have a way to do this, I tried the next best thing...I used all GM flours, All Trumps and King Kaiser. So, that's why I say, it's purely anecdotal......I can only report what I observed and tasted in this very small sample of pizzas I made. And not only was my sample small, I only used moderately hot ovens (550 degrees). Would my experiments change with a lot hotter oven....I just don't know!! But, from what I observed....the bromated flour and ascorbic acid flour were almost identical...they were much stronger than the flour with no conditioners...that is I worked harder to open up those doughs. For a 24 hour dough, the difference wasn't huge....the difference really shows up as the dough ages. But I was able to reball the weaker doughs to make them as strong as the conditioned doughs and this eliminated the advantage of having conditioned flours. I couldn't detect taste differences at all...only texture differences. That is why I mentioned to Peter that maybe Papa jOhns uses the ascorbic acid doughs as an insurance in the aging of their doughsYou know me though Norma....I'm a texture guy, and all doughs come to a point where they need help...and for me, that's the reball. Anyway, another fun round of experiments.Be well!!john

This work always reminds me of a passage from Frederick Douglass' Narrative, in which he had secretly obtained a book, The Columbian Orator while in the depths of despair about being a slave for life. He wrote: "Every opportunity I got, I used to read this book....[It] gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my own soul, which had frequently flashed through my mind, and died away for want of utterance"(23-24). That's what Declarations was for me: an affirmation of the "interesting thoughts of my own soul": my own deepest-held beliefs. His book thus provided a model for expressing them openly. Zinn had subtitled his book, "Cross-examining American Ideology", and challenged every one of the assumptions listed below.
'Be realistic; this is the way things are; there's no point thinking about how things should be.'
'People who teach or write or report the news should be objective; they should not try to advance their own opinions.'
'There are unjust wars, but also just wars.'
'If you work hard enough, you'll make a good living. If you are poor, you only have yourself to blame.'
'Freedom of speech is desirable, but not when it threatens national security.'
'Racial equality is desirable, but we've gone far enough in that direction.'
'Our Constitution is the greatest guarantee of liberty and justice.'
'The United States must intervene from time to time in various parts of the world with military power...[to] promote democracy.'
'If you want to get things changed, the only way is to go through the proper channels.'
'There is much injustice in the world but there is nothing that ordinary people, without wealth or power, can do about it.'
What is your Columbian Orator?

Nowadays, adults buy cars marketed to consumers half their age, dress in schoolyard fashions and play with their children in ways adults of previous generations would have found ridiculous. Most have busy lives and adult responsibilities. They are not stunted adolescents. They are something new: rejuveniles.

14-Year-Old Performs Perfect Imitation of the 'Movie Trailer Guy'
At a time when many of his peers' voices are still cracking, 14-year-old Jake Foushee's voice is deep and smooth. Deep enough, in fact, to allow him to do a pretty spot-on imitation of legendary movie trailer guy Don LaFontaine. Check out the impressive display below.
Didn't expect to hear those sounds coming from that face, did you? And what about 'Apocalypse,' that crazy disaster flick he's introducing? It is our understanding that Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich are currently wrestling each other in Paramount's back lot for the rights to that epic.
Speaking of Bay, Foshee's voice talents aren't just limited to mimicking LaFontaine. He can also do a mean Optimus Prime. So it looks like the 'Transformers' franchise can go on for at least another 50 years, like it or not. See more of Foshee's skills below.

Lance Armstrong filed a federal lawsuit Monday aimed at preventing the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency from moving ahead with charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his record-setting career.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? Lance Armstrong filed a federal lawsuit Monday aimed at preventing the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency from moving ahead with charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his record-setting career.
Armstrong's lawsuit says USADA rules violate athletes' constitutional right to a fair trial, and that the agency doesn't have jurisdiction in his case. It also accuses USADA's chief executive, Travis Tygart, of waging a personal vendetta against the cancer survivor who won the Tour de France every year from 1999 to 2005.
The lawsuit is an aggressive ? and expected ? move as Armstrong seeks to preserve his legacy as one of the greatest cyclists ever and an inspiring advocate for cancer survivors and research. Armstrong wants a judge to bar USADA from pursuing its case or issuing any sanctions against him.
Armstrong asked the court to issue an injunction by Saturday, the deadline he faces to formally challenge the case in USADA's arbitration process or accept sanctions. He could receive a lifetime ban from cycling and be stripped of his Tour de France victories if found guilty.
Armstrong insists he is innocent.
"The process (USADA) seek to force upon Lance Armstrong is not a fair process and truth is not its goal," his lawsuit says.
USADA, created in 2000 and recognized by Congress as the official anti-doping agency for Olympic sports in the United States, formally charged Armstrong in June with taking performance-enhancing drugs and participating in a vast doping conspiracy on his Tour de France winning teams, some of which were sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service.
The charges came after a two-year federal criminal investigation into doping allegations against Armstrong ended in February with no charges filed against him. The anti-doping agency says up to 10 former teammates and associates are willing to testify against him and that it has blood samples from 2009-2010 that are "fully consistent" with doping.
Armstrong, who retired in 2011, says he has passed more than 500 drug tests in his career and was never flagged for a positive test.
Armstrong's lawsuit amplifies public complaints he made about USADA and Tygart in recent weeks and makes several arguments. It says:
? The agency's rules and arbitration are designed to find athletes guilty. Athletes are not allowed to subpoena documents or compel witnesses to testify in a hearing. USADA has so far withheld the names of most of the witnesses against Armstrong, saying it is protecting them from potential intimidation.
? The International Cycling Union, cycling's governing body which licensed Armstrong to ride professionally, should have jurisdiction over the allegations. Armstrong says allegations of doping by him and his team that were first raised by admitted drug-user Floyd Landis in 2010 should be addressed by UCI.
? USADA may have violated federal law if it coerced witness testimony against him with deals to reduce punishments for riders facing doping charges. Media reports last week said former Armstrong teammates George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde, who are all riding in this year's Tour de France, may be witnesses against him.
? Tygart and officials with the World Anti-Doping Agency have recklessly pursued Armstrong for several years in a personal quest to catch him despite Armstrong's hundreds of negative drug tests. Tygart was named a codefendant in the lawsuit.
Also charged by USADA are former Armstrong team manager Johan Bruyneel and several team doctors and associates. None of them are included in Armstrong's lawsuit.
Armstrong's lawsuit says he faces irreparable harm if the case is allowed to go forward to arbitration because USADA rules prevent him from being able to mount a legitimate defense.
"It is a testament to USADA's brazenness and callous disregard for its own mission that it seeks to strip Mr. Armstrong of his life's work," the lawsuit says.
There was no immediate indication when a judge would rule. The case was filed in U.S. District Court in Austin.

Military Review: Start Officers' Ethics Training Earlier | News
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation's top military officer says ethics training for senior leaders is adequate but should begin earlier in an officer's career and be reinforced more frequently.
That's one of two initial findings by Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in response to a request by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for a review of ethics training following a series of highly publicized ethical lapses by top military officers.
The other finding was that the Pentagon should look closer at perquisites for top officers. Dempsey wonders whether those -- which in some cases include household staffs, drivers and aides to carry generals' bags -- are necessary and sensible.
Dempsey declined to release a copy of his report, but Pentagon press secretary George Little summarized Dempsey's two main findings.

Assessing the Impact of Mass Rape on the Incidence of HIV in Conflict-Affected Countries
The study investigators sought to quantify the potential impact of mass rape on HIV incidence in seven conflict-afflicted countries in sub-Saharan Africa with severe AIDS epidemics using an uncertainty analysis of a risk equation model.
Using a mathematical model, the potential impact of mass rape on increasing HIV incidence in women and girls in Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, southern Sudan, and Uganda was evaluated. The model was parameterized with data from UNAIDS, the World Health Organization and the US Census Bureau's International Database. Incidence data from UNAIDS/WHO were used for calibration.
Mass rape could result in approximately five HIV infections per 100,000 females per year in the DRC, Sudan, Somalia, and Sierra Leone; double the number in Burundi and Rwanda; and quadruple the number in Uganda. The number of females infected annually due to mass rape is likely to be relatively low in Somalia (127, [median (interquartile range 55-254)]) and Sierra Leone (156, [median (IQR 69-305)]). In the DCR and Uganda, figures could be high: 1,120 [median (IQR 527-2,360)] and 2,172 [median (IQR 1,031-4,668)], respectively. In Burundi, Rwanda, and Sudan the numbers are likely intermediate. Under extreme conditions, 10,000 females in the DRC and 20,000 in Uganda could be infected per year. "Mass rape could increase annual incidence by approximately 7 percent [median (IQR 3-15)]," study results showed.
"Interventions and treatment targeted to rape survivors during armed conflicts could reduce HIV incidence," the investigators concluded. "Support should be provided both on the basis of human rights and public health."

This editorial is part of our GREAT DEBATE feature 'Should College Athletes Get Paid?'
Business Insider recently got the chance to chat with New York Times columnist Joe Nocera over email on what he thought about the issue of paying college athletes.
Nocera wrote a New York Times article in December outlining a plan explaining why and how college athletes should be paid.
Business Insider: From reading your piece in the New York Times from December, it seems you're on the side of paying college athletes. Can you briefly tell us why you think we need to pay college athletes?
Joe Nocera: The answer is really simple. College athletes are an unpaid labor force whose work product is enabling a $6 billion business—that is a reasonable estimate of the combined revenue of college football and men's basketball, the so-called revenue sports.
They put in 40 to 50 hours a week at their "job." They have to squeeze their schooling in between practice hours. There are tremendous—and tremendously unfair—restrictions imposed by the NCAA on what they can and cannot do because of their "amateur" status. Most football and men's basketball players at the big-time sports schools never graduate in any case.
"All the money they are generating trickles up to everyone else in the system."
And meanwhile, all the money they are generating trickles up to everyone else in the system, from NCAA President Mark Emmert to Ohio State's new football coach Urban Meyer, who just landed a $4 million a year contract, to the corporate representative who signs a deal to link his company's product to college sports. And the players are supposed to be content with a "scholarship" that doesn't even cover the full cost of attending college? It's offensive.
BI: So what you're saying is athletes are the people who make it possible for schools to rake in tons of money, so they deserve a piece. But how much should college athletes be paid? And would they also receive a scholarship or would they pay for their education?
JN: I know people who advocate a complete free market for football and men's basketball players, and others who say that they should simply get stipends to cover the cost of attending college. My plan is a little more baroque than either of those, but I think is one that could be realistically carried out by the big-time sports schools. I propose a salary cap and a minimum salary. For football (where I would reduce the number of scholarships from 85 to a more reasonable 50), my cap per team is $3 million; for basketball, $650,000.
With a minimum salary for each sport of $25,000, that allows coaches to half the cap to pay more for star players. In fact, recruiting would suddenly be about money instead of sweet-talking—how refreshing! Will $25,000 a year make players rich? No. But it would allow them to put money in their pockets and participate in student life in a more normal way. I also think it would eliminate most of the absurd "scandals" that occur in these sports, most of which occur because players—many of whom come from impoverished backgrounds need—gosh!—money, just like every other kid on campus.
"Players — many of whom come from impoverished backgrounds — need money, just like every other kid on campus"
To answer your second question, yes, I think they should still get a scholarship. People want to believe that the athletes on the court or the field are students; that is part of the allure of college sports. But my answer is that the scholarship should be for six years instead of four. That would allow players to take fewer classes while they are playing sports and then really focus on academics once their playing days are over.
BI: That seems like a lot of money, salaries and a scholarship for six years. Is the revenue from football and basketball going to cover all of those costs? If not where would the money come from?
JN: I have a hard time understanding why paying 60 members of a college football team $3 million is considered "a lot of money," when the University of Texas pays its football coach, Mack Brown, twice that amount. You could cover the Texas salary and still pay Brown $3 million. One of the reasons so much money goes to coaches, to conference presidents, to athletic directors—heck, there are even some assistant coaches in college making $1 million or more—is because the labor is free. The money has to go somewhere. If you paid the players, there would be less for everybody else, but so what? Universities would find the money if they had to.
Having said that, I completely agree that not every Division I school could afford to pay its football and basketball players. Alabama could afford it, but Wayne State wouldn't be able to. What would happen is that the Wayne States of the world would have to deemphasize football and men's basketball and go into a different, lower division where students played football and basketball as a true extracurricular activity, which is the way it is in Division III right now.
Forcing schools to make that choice would be a good thing, not a bad thing. In the end, I think you would wind up with about 72 football schools and maybe 150 basketball schools that were willing to stay in the big time. That would simply be a more honest acknowledgment of the way things are now. The realignment of the conference is, in effect, already creating a super tier of football and basketball powers.

BI: True, coaches do make a lot of money in big time programs. But so far we've only mentioned basketball and football, which are the big money-makers at most schools. But what about other sports like lacrosse, and baseball? Is it fair to pay the football players and not the baseball players who spend just as much of their time at practice and meetings and traveling?
JN: Football and men's basketball are fundamentally different from any other sport on campus. They are huge revenue generators. Players have no choice but to go to college to pursue their profession. (Baseball and hockey players can go pro directly from high school.) A baseball player who chooses college over the minor leagues is a true amateur. A football player in college is fundamentally a professional athlete in every way except pay. And if you are going to give me the college party line about how football revenues pay for the lacrosse team, I will ask you why disadvantaged athletes playing football should be asked to subsidize the upper middle class lacrosse players? If the university truly values lacrosse they shouldn't ask the football team to pay for it.
BI: I see what you mean.Going back to another one of your responses quickly, how do you think this would eliminate most of the scandal in sports? Do you think making $25,000 a year is going to make a kid turn down more money, or strippers, or parties from boosters? I don't really think it would.
JN: I guess you make a good point: they could afford to tip the strippers themselves. But seriously, do you really think boosters are giving players tens of thousands of dollars? With rare exceptions, they are not. They have given them chump change. And most of these scandals involve transactions that are only scandalous because the NCAA has brainwashed people (like you?) into thinking that any time an athlete touches a dollar bill, he has soiled his uniform.
One of the big scandals recently was the one where some players from Ohio State traded some of their Ohio State paraphernalia—in other words, their own property!—for tattoos. Yes, I do believe that if they had enough cash to pay for their tattoos there would not have been a scandal. Call me crazy, but I do think that if athletes had money to buy things, they wouldn't be so quick to take money from boosters.
By the way, I should also note that many of the scandals revolve around agents sneaking money to athletes in the hope that they will sign with them when the turn pro. There is an easy way to eliminate those scandals: legalize agents!
BI: With all of that said, how can we make this change? How does the NCAA tell Mack Brown he's going to make half of his normal salary, and how do those teams who can't afford to pay their players jump from Division I to Division III? I'm sure those players at a school who maybe can't afford salaries and scholarships won't be happy to learn that next year, they'll be Division III instead. (side note: there are no athletic scholarships in DIII, so then those players who are on those teams that have to drop out are also missing out on a free education, what do we do about that?)
JN: You can't tell Mack Brown you are cutting his salary—that would be an antitrust violation. What you would have to do is announce a plan, and then allow a few years to pass before it gets implemented so everyone would have time to prepare. I was not suggesting, by the way, that Ball State drops to Division III; I was suggesting that there be a kind of lower-level Division I (the old I-A), that had athletic scholarships but didn't pay money and didn't compete in March Madness of the big bowls. But of course the NCAA is never going to give an inch on paying players. It likes to call what it is doing "defending amateurism,' but it is really the behavior of a cartel ruthlessly suppressing wages. And I do believe that is what ultimately makes it vulnerable to legal attack. Someday, a judge is going to rule that this suppression of wages amounts to a violation of the antitrust rules, and when that happens, all bets will be off. A no-holds-barred free market will ensue. And my modest salary cap will no longer seem heretical, but a modest and sensible approach to fixing a broken system. Which, I might add, it is.

Van Halen Unveil 'Tattoo' Video
If there ever was a time you will feel like you stumbled onto an intimate and private Van Halen soundcheck, it's during the band's video for their new song 'Tattoo,' the first single off their upcoming album, 'A Different Kind of Truth,' due Feb. 7.
The black and white clip was filmed at Hollywood's famed The Roxy, which the band used as its own rehearsal space for the past several months. Save for the confetti and balloons that tumble from the sky at the end of the video, this is a simple performance clip and it works. It was a smart move on the band's part to narrow the focus and scope of the first video on the band doing what it does best and that's play.
Watching David Lee Roth dance and saunter across the stage, draped in a Steven Tyler-like scarf, waving a black and white checkered racing flag and singing to Eddie Van Halen, who is wearing the 'Dexter' kill shirt as he pounds out murderous riffs.
Extra bells and whistles, like plot, characters and hot chicks covered in sailor style ink, are not needed to make a point in this video or at this juncture in the 'A Different Kind of Truth' cycle. The rhythm section – drummer Alex Van Halen and his nephew, bassist Wolfie Van Halen — are on the periphery for much of the video, which hones in on DLR and EVH, whose animosity fascinated fans for years after Diamond Dave split.
Here, the rift feels mended and the riffs are strong. And those are very good things.

NATHAN T. GRIDDINE, d/b/a/ N&W AUTO SALES
and MID-CONTINENT CASUALTY, Garnishee,
Missouri automobile dealer bonds may be garnished to satisfy judgments against Missouri dealers even when the acts giving rise to the judgments occurred in Kansas.
Appeal from Shawnee District Court; CHARLES E. ANDREWS, JR., judge. Opinion filed January 17, 2003. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Lynn D. Lauver and H. Kent Hollins, of Topeka, for appellant.
David D. Crane and Tammy N. Etem, of Kansas City, Missouri, for appellee Mid-Continent Casualty.
Before RULON, C.J., BEIER, J., and BRAZIL, S.J.
BEIER, J.: In this case of first impression, we examine whether Missouri motor vehicle dealer bonds can be used to satisfy judgments against Missouri dealers when the acts giving rise to the judgments took place in Kansas.
Defendant Nathan Griddine, d/b/a N&W Auto Sales, and defendant Rosalia Lopez, d/b/a Lopez Auto Sales, are Missouri auto dealers licensed to do business in Missouri. To secure their Missouri licenses, they obtained motor vehicle dealer bonds in the amount of $25,000 from garnishee Mid-Continent Casualty (Mid-Continent).
Carlson Auction Services, Inc., d/b/a I-70 Auto Auction, (Carlson) is a Kansas corporation that does business in Topeka. It brought two actions against the defendants in the district court in Shawnee County, alleging they had purchased vehicles in Kansas with bad checks. Carlson obtained judgments against the defendants in the amounts of $8,910.23 and $10,070.02, and there is no dispute that the judgments were registered in the circuit court of Jackson County, Missouri.
On November 15, 1999, the Missouri Department of Revenue (MDOR) sent Mid-Continent a letter informing it that MDOR had received notice of the final judgment in the Lopez case and that Carlson had asserted the judgment arose out of conduct worthy of suspension or revocation of Lopez' license. The letter cited Rev. Mo. Stat. § 301.560(4) (2002), which provides that the proceeds of a dealer bond shall be paid to a judgment debtor by MDOR upon a final judgment against a dealer from a Missouri court of competent jurisdiction. The MDOR letter included copies of the petition and judgment for Mid-Continent's "review and action as appropriate."
Carlson later sought to garnish Mid-Continent, and Lopez' and Griddine's cases were consolidated. The parties filed briefs on whether the Missouri dealer bonds provided coverage for activities outside Missouri. Carlson argued this issue had already been resolved in its favor in a previous Shawnee County decision entered by a different judge. Mid-Continent relied in part on a Missouri Attorney General opinion and urged the court to follow case law from other jurisdictions that reached the opposite result.
The district judge ruled in Mid-Continent's favor, relying upon the attorney general opinion and the case law cited therein. He noted that other jurisdictions were divided on whether a state's motor vehicle surety bonds had extraterritorial effect. Iowa, Colorado, and Idaho had held that a state's licensing statute conditioning issuance of a license on the execution of a surety bond creates a presumption that the bond covers only in-state activities, unless the statute states otherwise. See State Surety Co. v. Lensing, 249 N.W.2d 608, 612 (Iowa 1977); Peerless Ins. v. Clark, 29 Colo. App. 436, 439, 487 P.2d 574 (1971); Ore-Ida Potato Products, Inc. v. United Pacific Ins. Co., 87 Idaho 185, 193, 392 P.2d 191 (1964). Virginia and Oregon, on the other hand, had held that such bonds are given extraterritorial effect absent language in the statute or bond explicitly limiting application to intrastate transactions. See Mawyer v. Lumbermens Mutual Casualty, 237 Va. 299, 302, 377 S.E.2d 401 (1989); So. Sea. Auto Auction v. W. Cas., 41 Or. App. 707, 711, 598 P.2d 1269 (1979). The district judge did not discuss the rationale of the previous contrary decision from one of his colleagues. Rather, because Mo. Rev. Stat. §301.560(1)(4) (2002) did not explicitly provide for the bonds to apply outside Missouri, and Carlson had provided no evidence that the Missouri Legislature intended the bonds to have extraterritorial application, Mid-Continent prevailed on the garnishment.
Under Missouri law, the scope of a surety's obligation under a statutory bond is prescribed by the governing statute and by the language employed in the bond itself. Home Indemnity Co. v. State of Missouri, 78 F.2d 391 (8th Cir. 1935) (citing Zellars v. National Surety Co., 210 Mo. 86, 108 S.W. 548 [1908]). The terms and provisions of the governing statute are read into the bond as if they were incorporated in it. In re Moore, 282 S.W.2d 856, 860 (Mo. App. 1955).
Missouri's Section 301.560(4) reads:
"Every applicant as a new motor vehicle franchise dealer, a used motor vehicle dealer, a wholesale motor vehicle dealer, or boat dealer shall furnish with the application a corporate surety bond or an irrevocable letter of credit as defined in section 400.5-103, RSMo, issued by any state or federal financial institution in the penal sum of twenty-five thousand dollars on a form approved by the department. The bond or irrevocable letter of credit shall be conditioned upon the dealer complying with the provisions of the statutes applicable to new motor vehicle franchise dealers, used motor vehicle dealers, wholesale motor vehicle dealers and boat dealers, and the bond shall be an indemnity for any loss sustained by reason of the acts of the person bonded when such acts constitute grounds for the suspension or revocation of the dealer's license. The bond shall be executed in the name of the state of Missouri for the benefit of all aggrieved parties or the irrevocable letter of credit shall name the state of Missouri as the beneficiary; except, that the aggregate liability of the surety or financial institution to the aggrieved parties shall, in no event, exceed the amount of the bond or irrevocable letter of credit. The proceeds of the bond or irrevocable letter of credit shall be paid upon receipt by the department of a final judgment from a Missouri court of competent jurisdiction against the principal and in favor of an aggrieved party." Rev. Mo. Stat. § 301.560(4)(2000).
The defendants' bonds provide in relevant part:
"THE CONDITION of the above obligation is such that WHEREAS the Principal has applied for the issuance of a Motor Vehicle and/or Boat Dealer's license and presents this bond in accordance with said statute.
"NOW, THEREFORE, if the aforesaid Principal shall faithfully comply with the provisions of the State of Missouri statutes applicable to new motor vehicle franchised dealers, used motor vehicle dealers, wholesale motor vehicle dealers, and boat dealers, and shall indemnify any person dealing or transacting business with the principal for any loss sustained by any person by reason of the acts of principal provided such acts of principal constitute grounds for suspension or revocation of Principal's license, then this obligation to be void; otherwise, to remain in full force and effect."
On this appeal, Carlson argues the district court erred in holding that an express statutory provision is required before Missouri dealer bonds will have extraterritorial application. Without appellate precedent in Kansas, a survey of the precedents from other jurisdictions is helpful and appropriate.
The first major case to consider a similar issue was Ore-Ida Potato Products, Inc., in which the plaintiff potato grower sought to recover on a statutory farm produce dealer's bond issued to an Idaho dealer who failed to make payment on two purchases of potatoes in Oregon. The parties did not dispute that both transactions took place entirely in Oregon. The plaintiff argued that the dealer's bond covered the transactions because the phrases "any person," "any dealer or broker," "every dealer", etc., were used in the Idaho statute. The Idaho Supreme Court disagreed:
"An examination of this Act . . . does not disclose any express phraseology designed to extend to transactions consummated 'fully, wholly and entirely,' . . . in a state foreign to Idaho.
"Appellant cannot be permitted the extraterritorial interpretation of [the Act] which it seeks. The bond furnished by a produce dealer under the Act must be measured by the law of Idaho under which it was written . . . . Statutes are intended to apply and be confined in their operation to persons, property and rights which are within the territorial jurisdiction of the law-making power. The Act does not expressly provide for extraterritorial application. In the absence of any extraterritorial phraseology contained in such Act, it cannot be construed to have an extraterritorial effect, on the theory that the legislature so intended." 87 Idaho at 193-94.
Next, in Peerless Ins. Co., an automobile auctioneer sought recovery against a motor vehicle dealer licensed in Colorado and the surety that issued its bonds. The relevant statutes provided that the dealer must file a bond "'conditioned that said applicant [for a license] shall not practice fraud, make any fraudulent representation or violate any of the provisions of this article in the conduct of the business for which he is licensed,'" and "'[i]f any person shall suffer any loss or damage by reason of any fraud practiced on him or fraudulent representation made to him by a licensed dealer . . . such person shall have a right of action against such dealer . . . and the sureties upon [his bond].'" 29 Colo. App. at 439 (quoting Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 13-11-9, 13-11-11(1) [1963]).
The dealer admitted that it committed fraud by writing bad checks to the auctioneer in Indiana, but the surety argued the bond's coverage was limited to acts occurring in Colorado. Like the plaintiff potato grower in the Idaho case, the Indiana auctioneer argued that the use of the phrases "any fraud" and "any person" in the statute gave it extraterritorial effect by implication. The Colorado Court of Appeals agreed with the surety, relying upon Ore-Ida Potato Products, Inc.
In Lensing, 249 N.W.2d 608, the court considered whether the Iowa statute requiring each motor vehicle dealer to furnish a bond indemnifying "any person" suffering a loss caused by the dealer's failure to comply with the terms of the Iowa statutes protected an aggrieved nonresident purchaser who had suffered damages as a result of an out-of-state sale. The court noted that a surety's liability may not be enlarged by implication and that statutory bonds should be construed in light of the purpose as expressed by the statute and discussed the general rule set forth in 73 Am. Jur. 2d, Statutes, § 359, p. 492, which read:
"Unless the intention to have a statute operate beyond the limits of the state or country is clearly expressed or indicated by its language, purpose, subject matter, or history, no legislation is presumed to be intended to operate outside the territorial jurisdiction of the state or country enacting it. To the contrary, the presumption is that the statute is intended to have no extraterritorial effect, but to apply only within the territorial jurisdiction of the state or country enacting it. Thus, an extraterritorial effect is not to be given statutes by implication. Accordingly, a statute is prima facie operative only as to persons or things within the territorial jurisdiction of the lawmaking power which enacted it. These rules apply to a statute using general words, such as 'any' or 'all,' in describing the persons or acts to which the statute applies. They are also applicable where the statute would be declared invalid if given an interpretation resulting in its extraterritorial operation."
Relying on Peerless and Ore-Ida, the Iowa Supreme Court concluded the statutory scheme demonstrated no legislative expectation to regulate out-of-state transactions. Thus the statute had no extraterritorial effect.
The Oregon Court of Appeals was the first to break from the line of reasoning reflected by these three decisions, launching a modern trend toward surety liability.
In So. Sea. Auto Auction, an Oregon automobile dealer bought an automobile from a seller in Washington, stopped payment on a check written for the purchase, and then sold the automobile to another dealer. The seller sued the Oregon dealer's bond surety. The surety argued the bond was unavailable to the plaintiff because the transaction took place in Washington, relying on statutory language stating: "[N]o person shall carry on or conduct in this state the business of buying, selling or dealing in new or used motor vehicles . . . unless he has a license." 41 Or. App. at 709 n.1 (quoting Or. Rev. Stat. 481.305[1]).
The court found the phrase "in this state" did not operate to limit applicability of the bond geographically but rather to clarify the requirement of a license to conduct business lawfully in Oregon. The applicable statutes did not prescribe territorial limits for the availability of the bond or require the bond to be universal; the bond's coverage was therefore not limited to transactions occurring wholly within Oregon.
The Mawyer case followed. In it, the plaintiff purchased a car in Virginia and later learned that a North Carolina dealer had tampered with the odometer. The plaintiff obtained a judgment against the dealer and sought to collect against the dealer's bond surety. The relevant North Carolina statute provided that "any purchaser" of a motor vehicle would have a right to recover against the dealer and the surety. The bond itself referred to the North Carolina statute and stated the dealer and the surety are "'held and firmly bound unto the people of the State of North Carolina to indemnify any person who may be aggrieved by fraud.'" 237 Va. at 300-01. The district court dismissed the case, finding the bond did not apply to sales of automobiles occurring outside of North Carolina. According to the court, there was no evidence the statute under which the bond was issued was intended to have any extraterritorial effect.
On appeal, the Virginia Supreme Court recognized the split in the case law. Like the Oregon Court of Appeals, it noted that no language in the statute or the bond explicitly limited the bond's application to transactions within North Carolina's borders or included transactions outside them. The court concluded a fair reading of the statute and the bond permitted extraterritorial effect because the statute granted a "purchaser" the right to recover and the bond provided indemnity to "any person" aggrieved by fraud. The obvious purpose of the bond, the court said, was to protect innocent purchasers of motor vehicles from the fraudulent acts of dealers; the court further stated that the statute and the bond should be construed broadly in favor of protecting the consumer and strictly against the fraudulent dealer and his or her surety. 237 Va. at 302.
Finally, in Metro Milwaukee Auto Auction v. Coulson, 604 N.W.2d 111 (Minn. App. 2000), rev. denied March 14, 2000, an automobile auctioneer sold a vehicle in Wisconsin to a Minnesota-licensed motor vehicle dealer who paid with a worthless check. The auctioneer brought an action to collect against the dealer and its surety. The surety argued that the dealer's bond was intended to apply only to transactions in Minnesota and that statutes had no extraterritorial effect unless the legislature expressly said as much. The surety relied upon language in the statute and the bond to the effect that the bond was for the benefit of the State of Minnesota and any transferor, seller, or purchaser of motor vehicles for monetary loss caused by the failure of the dealer to meet the obligations imposed by the laws of Minnesota. The surety also pointed to the following statutory language: "'It is the intent and purpose of this section to establish a uniform statewide system of bonding motor vehicle dealers.'" 604 N.W.2d at 115 (quoting Minn. Stat. § 168.27, subd. 25 [1998]).
The Minnesota Court of Appeals found that neither the statute nor the bond contained any language limiting the bond's application to transactions occurring in Minnesota. Rather, if the legislature had intended to impose such a geographical limitation, it could have so stated. Instead, a plain reading of the statute led to the conclusion that a dealer could not obtain a license without first providing financial security to protect all customers and all others with whom the dealer would conduct transactions. The statute clearly protected against losses caused by Minnesota-licensed dealers, and it would subvert the plain meaning of the statute to shift the focus to the geographical setting of the transaction leading to the loss.
The Missouri Attorney General weighed in on the question before us in Opinion Number 41-90 (August 27, 1990). The issue prompting the opinion was whether motor vehicle bonds issued under § 301.560 protected an aggrieved party suffering loss because of the acts of the person bonded, if the grounds for suspension or revocation of the bonded person's license were activities outside of Missouri.
The attorney general first noted that the scope of the obligation under a statutory bond is prescribed by the governing statute. Therefore, the opinion was based on interpretation of the language of the statute and of the rulings from the courts of other jurisdictions.
The attorney general recognized the split between courts that hold a statute must explicitly provide for extraterritorial effect before a surety will be liable on a dealer bond, i.e., State Surety Co., 249 N.W.2d 608, Peerless Ins. Co., 29 Colo. App. 436, Ore-Ida Potato Products, 87 Idaho 185, and those that hold a bond will be given extraterritorial effect in the absence of limiting statutory language, i.e., So. Sea. Auto Auction, 410 Or. App. 707, and Mawyer, 237 Va. 299. The attorney general criticized the latter type of case for failing to address the general rule that legislation is presumed to operate only within the territory of the enacting state, concluding: "[F]or the reasons articulated by the courts of Iowa and Colorado, . . . the motor vehicle dealer bonds required by Section 301.560 RSMo Supp. 1989, do not provide coverage for activities occurring outside of Missouri." Mo. Att'y Gen. Op. No. 41-90 at 3.
Although not discussed by the parties on appeal, the Alabama Supreme Court has adopted a third approach to the issue before us. In Ex parte Old Republic Sur. Co., 733 So. 2d 881 (Ala. 1999), Old Republic, a Wisconsin corporation licensed to do business in Alabama, issued a used motor vehicle dealer bond to Rickey Harrell, a licensed Alabama automobile dealer, in accordance with the Alabama automobile dealer bond statute. Harrell purchased vehicles in Illinois, using checks that were later returned due to insufficient funds. The Illinois dealer, Auction Way, successfully sued Harrell and Old Republic to recover for its losses.
The Alabama Court of Civil Appeals relied upon So. Sea. Auto Auction, 41 Or. App. 707, in finding that the mere requirement of a bond by no means prescribes territorial limitations on its availability. Nor does it require the bond to be universal. The court found that the absence of a territorial limitation among the express limitations in the statute meant Old Republic was required to indemnify Auction Way.
On appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court, Old Republic argued that the Court of Civil Appeals failed to take the general rule of statutory construction set forth in 73 Am. Jur. 2d, Statutes, § 359 into account. The court agreed that a statute must explicitly provide for extraterritorial effect in order to have it, and it acknowledged the competing lines of previous cases. It declined, however, to follow either.
"Despite the limitations on the operation of Alabama statutes, Old Republic's contention that the statute cannot operate as to a transaction that took place out of state is misplaced. This is not a case where the enforcement of the statute would impose a burden on a noncitizen of Alabama or would impose upon a party a burden based upon a right or claim that did not vest while the party was in Alabama. Old Republic is a corporation qualified to do business in Alabama. It agreed to insure those who dealt with Harrell, by issuing a dealer bond made payable to the State of Alabama. Although the statute may depend on an out-of-state transaction, it operates only on an in-state dealer bond. The statute simply provides that if a dealer does not comply with certain requirements, that dealer's bond shall be payable in favor of any person who recovers a judgment against the dealer for his failure to comply with those requirements. Thus, the statute operates as to an in-state dealer bond, the payment of which depends on the dealer's compliance with a contract that is executed either in or out of state. The burden imposed by § 40-12-398 was based upon a right that vested when Auction Way obtained the default judgment against Harrell. At that time, Harrell's dealer bond was located in Alabama, and Old Republic was qualified to do business in Alabama. Accordingly, requiring Old Republic to indemnify Auction Way to the extent of Harrell's dealer bond does not present a question of the extraterritorial application of a statute." 733 So. 2d at 885.
We find the Alabama court's reasoning most persuasive. In our view, extraterritorial application of the Missouri statute is not truly required for garnishment in this case. Rather, we need only apply the Missouri statute to a Missouri licensee and the surety who agreed to issue dealer bonds in Missouri in the course of its authorized business in that state. Mid-Continent is not an innocent bystander who is being harmed by Missouri law; rather, Mid-Continent knowingly issued dealer bonds to Missouri dealers in accordance with Missouri law. Once the judgments were filed in the Missouri court, the right of Carlson to be indemnified arose under the Missouri statute.
Reversed and remanded with directions to enter an order of garnishment.

"We're better at pulling people out of the stream than walking up to see who's throwing them in."
Bishop Gene Robinson, who said this, was speaking about the faith community at the launch of the Half in Ten campaign's new shared prosperity report.
But I think his twist on the oft-quoted precept of another Christian social justice advocate applies more generally.
Look at public policies, for example. The safety net surely isn't all it should be, but it does protect a large majority from utter destitution.
On the other hand, we see a high tolerance for employment practices that effectively throw people into the safety net.
Our federal policies, for example, allow employers to pay workers as little as $7.25 an hour — even less if they're home care workers, who've got no minimum wage or overtime rights at all.
Companies can duck not only the minimum wage and related overtime requirements, but their obligations for the payroll taxes that will ultimately provide workers with Social Security and Medicare benefits.
They can shift jobs overseas — either directly or by contracting out work formerly performed by employees here in the U.S. Our tax code gives them incentives for the former.
When offshoring isn't possible, companies can still contract out essential parts of their operations to other companies or to agencies that employ workers on a short-term basis — again ducking whatever payroll tax obligations they'd otherwise have.
Contracting out, whether here or abroad, can also relieve them of legal obligations for workers' health and safety — and for maintaining insurance to compensate those who suffer on-the-job insurances or workplace-related illnesses.
And for the legal obligations they'd otherwise have under nondiscrimination laws.
In theory, temporary workers have the same basic protections they'd have as regular company employees — though none of the optional benefits, of course.
In reality, they've got to put up with whatever the agency and its client firms dish out because they'll get fired if they complain. And they can have a lot to complain about, as this report from a former "warehouse slave" shows.
Unions used to provide a strong counterweight to such practices. Now they don't because they represent only a small fraction of the private-sector workforce.
We can attribute some of the decline in union strength to changes in the economy, including the shift to temporary contract labor. But public policies have played a role too.
Twenty-four states, for example, have "right to work" laws that allow employees to benefit from the wages, benefits and other terms of employment unions negotiate without paying the dues unions need to effectively represent the workforce as a whole.
At the federal level, the National Labor Relations Board arguably doesn't have the authority to keep companies from crippling union organizing campaigns or from making them effectively meaningless by refusing to bargain in good faith.
It's easy to blame our policymakers for staying safely downstream. But that's too simple, I think.
We're collectively responsible for choosing them — and to some extent, for the policies they pursue.
But we also make other choices that give companies incentives to keep throwing people into the stream — or at the very least, no compelling reason to stop.
We may have joined the Black Friday boycott of Walmart, but how many of us don't bargain-hunt, even when we know that our choice of rock-bottom prices puts companies that try to do the right things at a competitive disadvantage.
How many of us buy clothing, electronics, toys and other goods even when we know — or could know — that the companies they're made for tolerate dreadful conditions in their suppliers' factories?
Yet we sometimes do keep companies from behaving badly. Look at what's just happened at Darden Restaurants — the company that owns some popular sit-down chains, including Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Capital Grille.
Word go out that Darden planned to exploit a deliberately-created loophole in the Affordable Care Act by cutting its workers hours just enough to put them under the threshold for mandatory employer-sponsored health insurance.
Next thing you know, a flood of negative feedback from customers, lower satisfaction scores at restaurants where Darden was testing its strategy and (horrors!) lower sales projections, leading analysts to drop their target prices for buying its stock.
The company does an about-face. Says it has no intention of converting full-time workers to part-time — or of cutting back on the health insurance coverage full-timers can get.
I don't want to sound like a cock-eyed optimist. Darden has merely pushed the pause button on its workforce changes. Some other companies reportedly are moving ahead to convert full-time to part-time jobs. Still others are planning to do so.
And targeted consumer pressures alone aren't going to transform working conditions in the lower layers of our growing service sector anyway.
But the Darden episode suggests that we've got some leverage if we care to use it.

- Location:
- Washington, DC
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- My favorite part of my bedroom is that I can spend all day in it. I have stuck with a clean aesthetic and always work to make it cozier. I love how my room fills up with light in the morning and stays well light through the evening. I have been lucky to inherit some great furniture - my four-poster bed was given to me by my parents, once they realized a double bed is really too small for two people. My two handmade oriental rugs were given to me by my boyfriend who worked for two years at an oriental rug gallery in Montana - they are my favorite elements of my room.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Stick to a clean color palette. Showcase your best furniture pieces - don't hide them in clutter. Bring life into your room through cut flower arrangements or a potted plants - it will brighten your day!
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- I am a traditionalist when it comes to beds - I only get into my bed to sleep. I try to keep the time in my bedroom to sleeping, relaxing and reading - which can mean spending an entire Sunday in my room.
