A close look at the arguments against gay marriage
Last week, the Australian parliament took a step backwards by voting 98-42 to uphold the ban on same-sex marriages, despite opinion polls that favor allowing it.

Why is there something rather than nothing?

A warning from a mind reader
Take a look at this video of a clairvoyant at work.

Throughout history wealth has always accumulated in a small percentage of the population of any society whether that small group is in place because of religious beliefs (the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, Aztecs, Kings in more modern times), or dictators (by force through giving privileges to security forces, armies, etc.), or through tax and laws that favor the upper group.
Wealth also naturally accumulates at the upper end of society as having money makes it easier to make more. Examples are being able to snap up bargains
in stock and property during economic downturns, buying up smaller competitors,
using buying power to get advantages in purchasing, and others. How many times during this downturn have you wished you had money to buy the bargains yourselves but were more concerned with paying the rent and food bills?
Having money also makes it easier to get laws in place that
favor the privileged group and to buy propaganda spots to promote these laws. A
good example of this is the law that lets Corporations and other groups spend
unlimited funds to influence elections (it works), the push to lower, or
totally eliminate inheritance taxes, and the lowering of taxes on capital gains.
Are you surprised that boards of directors, which are normally made up of other
wealthy people routinely give unearned and outrageous bonuses to CEOs. None of
these advantages are evil in themselves, but they have the cumulative effect of
increasing income disparity in society. Play Monopoly and you will quickly see how this works.
The upper groups are way outnumbered by everyone else so they need reasons for why they deserve so much more. The pharaohs and the related ruling class
convinced the citizens of Egypt that they alone held the keys to access the Gods
and that without them everyone else would be out of luck (as far as access to
the Gods went). Kings used this same tactic. It's no wonder that Kings were also the head and protector of the state church and supposedly anointed by God (this is still technically true in England).
In modern Egypt the Generals used the excuse that they were protecting the non-Muslim religious and secular groups from the more radical Muslim Brotherhood. But, it only worked so long. Unfortunately, the Muslim Brotherhood is using the present turmoil to enshrine their religious beliefs in the Egyptian constitution. Will this never end?
There were attempts throughout history to mitigate this disparity. Weighing a rotund ruler and giving away his weight in gold was one way.
Boxing Day was another, but these hardly made a dent in the disparity. An effective, but messy short term solution was the guillotine. Soon however a new group took the old groups place. For example, Communism replaced one privileged group with another. Every wonder how the present head of the communist party in China and all his family including his illiterate mother became millionaires?
A less messy and very effective way to mitigate this disparity is to have a progressive income tax with higher marginal rates on higher incomes. Before anyone goes apoplectic remember that "marginal rates" are only applied not on the total income, but on only a portion over a certain dollar amount. However,
in the past 20 years income disparity has increased in our country. Going back to the tax rates during the Clinton years (we had a government income surplus during those years) makes good sense on many fronts.
However, the privileged group is working hard this Christmas season to convince the rest of us that lowering taxes for them is in our interest. Do modern slogans like: freedom from government, lower taxes, less regulations, death taxes, job killing tax increases and death panels in government provided health care have a familiar ring?
The current fight over tax rates is not just pointless partisan bickering, but a fight over whether the middle class in our country will prosper or wither. Don't be fooled by all the posturing, our future is at stake.

At first, the 33 year-old Waukesha woman thought she was being very clever. Now, she finds herself facing up to 180 days in jail and a $600 fine for placing a series of false emergency phone calls to police dispatchers.
The woman, Aisha R. Jackson, was charged with seven counts of placing a false emergency call. On each occasion, Jackson had been pulled over for traffic violations and would then dial 9-1-1 to report a major crime in progress. The officers would leave the traffic stop scene only to arrive at bogus crime scenes where there was nobody around.
This kind of story is, to me, just unbelievable. Whatever happened to the days of taking personal responsibility for one's actions and just taking your lumps when you've done something wrong? Am I asking an "old school" question here, harkening back to a "simpler time" in our history? Of course. Still, you'd like to believe that this type of moral outlook on personal responsibility still exists to a strong degree.
The issue here is that the 9-1-1 system has one main purpose: to assist people in the community in their time of need. It could be for fire, rescue, EMS, and, of course, law enforcement and protection from the dangers of criminal activity. Calls that abuse the
9-1-1 system siphon precious time from those who are sworn to protect the public. The abusers have very selfish and often nonsensical or illegal reasons for diverting these precious emergency services.
Every minute or second that law enforcement or other emergency personnel have to waste in responding to these types of calls amounts to time and money that could have been used to help other people who are truly in need.
If you've ever contemplated making a fake 9-1-1 call, just keep in mind that, if you were sitting in a ditch, bleeding after a car crash, how sickening it would be to find out that the precious few law enforcement personnel in the area couldn't respond to your needs immediately because they were responding to a robbery call that turned out to be a hoax by a woman trying to avoid a speeding ticket. People need to realize the ramifications of this, not only from a criminal perspective but also understanding that abusing 9-1-1 can put other lives in danger.
Besides the danger of interfering with the process of assisting with real emergencies and all of the wasted time and energy caused by frivolous 911 calls, there is the tremendous feeling of frustration that the emergency responders are subjected to. Dispatchers are very well-trained to remain calm in circumstances that the average person would most likely lose control. These people are trained when someone is screaming into the phone about a loved one who's not breathing or has a different medical emergency to calmly assist people to react in a way that will benefit the caller that's in the middle of that emergency.
The Jackson case is certainly a prime example of someone brazenly exploiting 9-1-1 to skirt personal responsibility, in this instance, getting a speeding ticket. But you can also imagine the frustration of these highly trained emergency personnel being bothered with frivolous calls like a pizza not being delivered on time or a complaint that someone was "unfriended" on Facebook. You just can't make up this kind of idiocy! Nonsensical 9-1-1 calls are often made by people who are intoxicated. Unfortunately, when two people are involved in a drunken argument and one of them calls 9-1-1, it's very difficult for the dispatcher to know immediately whether there is a legitimate emergency and the emergency response must be made.
The 9-1-1 system is an invaluable service and it is clearly there in case of an emergency. Accidents. Threats of danger or violence. Fights. When you dial 9-1-1, make sure you are clear that there is an actual emergency you wish to report. Dispatchers are very clear about this when they answer the call. They will ask if this is an emergency and if anybody is hurt. Be very clear in your response. This doesn't mean you should not call 911 in the case of a minor accident. When in doubt, always contact law enforcement.
In short, don't be afraid to dial 9-1-1 with a legitimate emergency to report. Anytime there is a concern for safety or someone is hurt or injured, make the call. But don't ever think that by calling 9-1-1 in order to get yourself out of trouble that it will somehow be a wise choice. Misuse of 9-1-1 will only result in criminal charges and the very real possibility that you are responsible for putting somebody else's life in danger.

Last month, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) [advocacy website], which implicated former Cabinet minster William Ruto of interfering with the ICC investigation, denied accusations that it had bribed witnesses [JURIST report]. Two witnesses, Ken Braziz Wekesa and William Kepkemboi Rono, claimed they were bribed by the KNCHR [Daily Nation report], a government-funded human rights group, to testify to the ICC against Ruto, the former higher education minister. Moreno-Campo said that the court will not use testimony [JURIST report] from three Kenyan witnesses who claim they were bribed to provide false evidence against a high-ranking government official. In September, Kenyan businessman Joseph Gathungu filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality [JURIST report] of the ICC investigation into the violence following the 2007 Kenyan presidential election. The suit, which was filed in the High Court [GlobaLex backgrounder] in Mombasa, argues that the ICC investigation is illegal under the constitution adopted last month [JURIST report]. Violence following the 2007 Kenyan presidential election [JURIST report] left at least 1,000 people dead and 500,000 displaced after protests erupted from allegations that President Mwai Kibaki [official profile] committed voter fraud.
Halliburton and its subsidiaries and subcontractors have been implicated in a number of law violations. In July 2007, former Eagle Global Logistics (EGL) executive Kevin Andre Smoot pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to making a false statement and violating the Anti-Kickback Act. In 2006 EGL, a Houston-based company hired by KBR to ship military cargo to Iraq, paid the government $4 million [press release; JURIST report] to settle potential claims under the False Claims Act [text] that it inflated invoices for Iraq military cargo shipments. EGL was accused of charging a "war risk surcharge" on military shipments from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Iraq between November 2003 and July 2004. In November 2006, KBR settled fraud allegations [DOJ press release; JURIST report] under the False Claims Act and agreed to pay the US $8 million for allegedly overcharging the Army for logistical support it provided between 1999 and 2000. The DOJ alleged that KBR double-billed the military and delivered non-conforming goods to be used for the construction of Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo. According to a report issued in October 2006, KBR violated [JURIST report] the US Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) [official website] directive on classifying proprietary data by claiming protection for information normally in the public sphere.
In November, the deputy prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website], Fatou Bensouda, issued a statement [text, PDF] lamenting the killing of seven people [JURIST report] in a post-election violence in Guinea. Bensouda urged security forces to refrain from using excessive force against civilians. The statement asserted that the ICC would evaluate all reported acts of violence resulting from the crackdown. November's election ended two years of military rule under a transitional government formed by military captain Moussa Dadis Camara [BBC profile], who staged a coup in the wake of the death of former president Lansana Conte [Guardian profile], the nation's ruler for 24 years. In September, two Guinean election officials were convicted of election fraud [JURIST report] and sentenced to a year in jail in connection with irregularities that arose in the June presidential primary election, one incident in a string of controversies responsible for multiple delays of the runoff, which was initially scheduled for July [Reuters report].
The custody dispute involved former couple Bani Chatterjee and Taya King. In 2000, the couple adopted a one-year-old girl from Russia but, unsure how Russian adoption agencies would react to a same-sex couple, only King legally adopted the child. King and Chatterjee separated in 2008. Contending she shared in raising the couple's child for nine years and shared a parent-child relationship with King's daughter, Chatterjee filed suit in a state district court asking a judge to declare her a parent and decide custody and visitation. The judge, however, dismissed the case. Other jurisdictions have struggled with similar issues. Last year, a New York state appeals court ruled that a same-sex partner lacks standing to assert parental rights [JURIST report] over the biological child of her partner unless she has adopted the child.
I encourage the political leaders to call on their supporters and fellow citizens to show restraint and avoid unrest. I invite the Ivorian authorities to investigate criminal incidents that have already occurred and to do everything possible to deter future ones. All reported acts of violence will be closely scrutinized by the Office.
In February, Gbagbo dissolved [JURIST report] the country's parliament and electoral commission based on allegations of voter fraud in the long delayed presidential elections. On disbanding the government, Gbagbo charged Prime Minister Guillaume Soro [BBC profile] with creation of new government and new election format. Gbagbo had accused Beugre Mambe, the head of the independent electoral commission, of fraud by attempting to register more than 400,000 whom Gbagbo considers to be foreigners. Opposition parties such as the Ivory Coast Democratic Party (PDCI) [party website, in French] and Republican Gathering Party (RDR) [party website, in French] said that most of those voters are ethnic groups in the north of the country, who would likely have voted against Gbagbo. Gbagbo was elected president in 2000 to serve a five-year term, but he has managed to stay in office through delaying six successive elections.

Don't Focus on Oscar Pistorius
The media shouldn't be framing the murder accusations facing the athlete has a hero's downfall, but rather the danger of domestic violence.
Any story or commentary about the murder accusation against the inspirational Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius must begin with the presumption that he is innocent. Police arrived at Pistorius's home to find the disabled runner's girlfriend in a pool of blood, dead from bullet wounds. It doesn't look good, from the initial facts, but then, we don't yet know all the facts.
What is disturbing, however, is the media focus on the tragedy as a story of a hero's downfall, an extraordinary tale of a man who managed to become an Olympic sprinter despite having prosthetic legs from the knee down. Yes, many of us cheered for Pistorius, who indeed was an inspirational example of overcoming heavy odds to succeed.
[See Photos: South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius Charged With Murder]
But perhaps this story is about something much less Shakespearean and sadly, much more common: the easy availability of guns and the scourge of domestic violence. Pistorius's home of South Africa has become an increasingly violent place, with guns easily acquired. And women are often victims—some 2,500 women are murdered in the country every year. Further, Pistorius has a history of domestic violence complaints. Was the murder of Reeva Steenkamp an accident of some sort? Or was she just another—albeit, more famous and famously-connected—victim of a far more widespread problem?
Domestic abusers aren't all in poor or working-class neighborhoods. They're not all drunks or mentally unwell people who snap and take out their frustrations on the women they supposedly love. Domestic violence has to do with rage and a desire to control—even when the only way to assert control is to take a life.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
The story has gotten more attention because the alleged killer is a hero-athlete. But this tragedy isn't about Pistorius. It's about Steenkamp—and all the victims who came before her.

Use this product! Put it in your gas after filling the cans. If your like me we only ride during about 4 months of the year. If that gas sits too long you will be rebuilding and cleaning carbs like crazy! A good investment to keep things clean.Read All Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThinkDifferent One of the greatest phones still! I got this phone around 1.5 years ago (the international black version for that matter) and I can't stop admiring this phone. No KitKat? Who cares? This phone is the beast even without all of the Android's updates(/features?). It runs smoothly, doesn't crash, pretty easy to use AND very sexy. Not once I was questioned about the phone and how unique it looks. Bottom line, it is a great phone with magnificent built hardware, great camera and HQ sound. May 30, 2014

National Indigenous Infrastructure Guide - 2010
Aim of the publication
Sustainability is the foundation of the National Indigenous Infrastructure Guide (the 'Guide'), which provides existing good practice principles of educating and involving community members in choosing appropriate technology for infrastructure[1], including installation and ongoing maintenance. The principles in the Guide use a process that maximises community skills development and employment opportunities. The Guide assists government and service providers working with infrastructure in Indigenous communities.
Target audience
The Centre for Appropriate Technology (CAT), consulted with community service providers and Indigenous community workers to compile the Guide. Indigenous communities, community managers, government officers, planners and service providers are informed in the Guide of the kind of choice, design, installation, function, maintenance and management of infrastructure available for their community needs.
Technical personnel project managers and essential services officers would find the Guide beneficial in knowing how to incorporate their technical knowledge into Indigenous community projects.
Content of the publication
The Guide articulates that successful outcomes cannot be achieved without the involvement of the end users of the technology and infrastructure - community. Community will usually be involved in one or more of the following components of infrastructure development: problem identification, design, decision making, construction, management, installation and maintenance, for essential issues such as: water, storm water, waste water, waste, energy, telecommunications and transport.
The importance of community involvement equates to increased skills development, successful project outcomes due to local risk management, reduced costs and reliable ongoing operation of installed equipment.
The Guide is also available in hard copy at no cost from National Mailing and Marketing. Email: email@example.com or telephone: 1800 050 009, quoting product number FAHCSIA10099; www.icat.org.au/niig.
1 'Infrastructure' in this context refers to the fixed physical assets used to deliver a service to a community or region

I'll call Monday for the police report. I'm seeking a replacement either Glock, or Springfield Armory or maybe even the same model since I have 3 spare 14rd mags, 2 holsters and 150 rounds left over. Good thing about them Sigmas is they are cheap but built like a tank IMO. Weapon light and adapter will have to wait though.
Oh I like the marker dye idea...I was thinking more like C4. A thief is right there on my most hated list which includes drunk drivers, and murderers.

Lamberts gone-shame.
So Sorrento lost that small town feel.
Meth is a big deal in rural Louisiana, now
Funny in metro NOLA many many kids take prescribed Dexedrine- in surprisingly high doses(I sub teach in Jefferson Parish). Mainly white kids-probably 10% of the white males in some public schools-maybe the same in catholic schools/private schools
I wonder if the ADHD "epidemic" which started 40 years ago -has anything to do with the current meth epidemic?
It took forever for Louisiana to become "meth friendly"-the west coast and Midwest of all places- has had a meth problem for 20 years.

There is some kinda furniture little knick knack store in Lambert's now. Its been a few things in the past 5 years but no one can really get their business up. That gas station next to it got a makeover though. I say take Lambert's and turn it back into what it really is, a family oriented diner and fix that sign.

Yeah "white man's cocaine" not sure why white folks seem to prefer meth- but seems that way.
It is even worse than crack-I'm guessing it is a cheaper high-more hours high for your $$-so you can destroy yourself for less $$.
Turns young people old in a couple of years-rough drug!
I guess the interstate killed Lamberts- bet it started in the 30's 40's when folks started traveling-then the interstate connected NOLA and BR-about 1973-and killed all the little businesses on Airline HY that catered to travelers.Maybe it could make a go of it now- if the economy improves. Crummy economy means folks don't eat out-I don't even eat fast food when we travel-just stock the ice chest with bread,apples ,oranges chocolate milk , milk, instant coffee, ham, cheese mustard butter peanut butter and hit the road- I wouldn't mind a nice diner-milkshake hamburger etc

Rose Pitonof
From Openwaterpedia
Pitonof was known by her title of World's Champion Long Distance Swimmer and was from Dorchester, Massachusetts. She was honored as a Pioneer Swimmer by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame in the Class of 2013.
In 1910 at the age of 15, she won the 8-mile Boston Light Swim in a record time of 6 hours 50 minutes. Seven men started the competition with her, but did not finish. She was the first woman to ever complete the event. After her Boston Light Swim, Rose became a Vaudeville performer. "My act was part of a larger Vaudeville program, but I was the headliner. They built a tank of water on the stage, and I would exhibit some of my strokes and dives."
On 13 August 1911, she swam from East 26th Street to Steeplechase Pier, earning the woman's title of Long Distance Swimming Champion of the World. The distance is 17 miles which she swam mostly breaststroke and ate a chicken sandwich and a cup of coffee. An estimated 50,000 people were reported to have cheered her on at Coney Island.
In 1912 she attempted to swim across the English Channel, but she never got her chance and swam the Thames instead. In 1913 she made attempts to swim from the Manhattan Battery to Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
Pitonof's last name was alternatively spelled Pitinof, Pitonof, Pitinoff, Pittinof and Pitnoff.
According to painstakingly researched information uncovered by Harvard University archivist Marilyn Morgan, Rose's last name was spelled myriad ways during her career by not only the media, but also the Federal Census Bureau (Boston Directories of 1900) and the Library of Congress. Rose was alternatively known as Rose Pitinof, Rose Pitonof, Rose Pitinoff, Rose Pittinof, and Rose Pitnoff as she churned up the waters and demonstrated strength and stamina rarely seen by women in the early 20th century. But the last name of Pitonof was noted in the Federal Census Bureau and the Library of Congress.

Donald Cerrone is focused on Rafael Dos Anjos, not assault charge in Colorado
"Cowboy" breaks it down for ESPN:
"I'm 100 percent devoted to this fight [with dos Anjos] and that's it. My mind is where it's supposed to be, and the legal matter has nothing to do with it. I'm 100 percent ready, my camp was good, and I feel great. This is the year that I feel I'm getting the belt. I don't know who is in line, whether it's TJ Grant or Josh Thomson. I don't know who's sitting in the slot. But hopefully a win over dos Anjos will put me in line with them, and then a win over them will get me a title shot. That's the overall game plan."
So......kick him in that shit.

After reading the title, initial thought was "didn't Guida smash your jaw?"
DAMN early morning reading!
Rafael dos Anjos: Two opponents have broken hands on my titanium jaw
Since a loss via injury to Clay Guida in 2010, Rafael dos Anjos has won five of six fights and entered the UFC lightweight picture. If his jaw has looked unnaturally strong since then, there's a reason for that.
Dos Anjos (19-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC), who meets Donald Cerrone (20-5-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in tonight's UFC Fight Night 27 co-headliner, survived until the third round during his fight with Guida at UFC 117. However, Guida broke his opponent's jaw in the first round, and after pressing a forearm against it in the third round, dos Anjos was forced to tap out from the pain.
Since then, though, he's 5-1 with just a split-decision loss to Gleison Tibau. And he believes he now has an unexpected weapon in his arsenal.
"That break happened when we were openly trading during the first minute of our fight," dos Anjos told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "He broke my mandible in two parts, but I kept on fighting.
"Nowadays, I have 20 screws and four titanium plates. Since then I broke two hands with my chin: Tibau's and (Anthony) Njokuani's."

This is always a hit! Tips I live by to make this turn out every time. 1) DON'T bake the pretzel layer any longer than 10 minutes. 2) Double the amount of jello to make it proportional to the amount of cream cheese. 3) Let the jello chill to thicken slightly before spreading on the cream cheese layer.
I have made this a few times now with perfect results. I read the reviews prior to making it and found it extremely helpful to do the following: 1) instead of using 2 cups of water, use 1 cup of boiling water to dissolve the package of gelatin, then add 3/4 cup strawberry juice/syrup, and then add the strawberries; and 2)put the gelatin/strawberry mixture in the fridge for about an hour or so to thicken a bit before pouring it overtop of the cream cheese mixture (this is very key for the success of the dessert). I really think these changes helped to enhance the texture and flavor of the gelatin layer. I highly recommend trying this. I have taken it to two dinner parties now and cannot tell you how many compliments I received, my friends were thoroughly impressed. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!!!
This was really good! I added some vanilla (1/2 tsp) to the cream cheese layer. I also think the crust should be a bit sweeter- I will try it with white and brown sugar next time. As other readers have warned, this crust will turn to CEMENT if you cook it too long. Take it out after 10 minutes even if you don't think it's cooked. It will get hard as it sits! Roll the side of a drinking glass over the crust in the pan- it makes an easy job of pressing it in.

Loyola has long been known for its high academic standards. But the College is equally concerned with ensuring that its students continue to learn well outside the classroom. Loyola's Jesuit educational philosophy insists that the College create an environment that shapes leaders and thinkers for the next generation, not only through its curricula, but through events, services and the example set by College leadership. An enduring commitment to social justice has led to enumerable programs that engage students and make them keenly aware of issues facing their local and global communities. Now, Loyola is turning its attention to what is rapidly becoming a primary frontier of social change: the environment.

RALEIGH — A Wake County District Court judge found probable cause Tuesday to transfer a 15-year-old boy's murder case to adult court, where he will stand accused of fatally shooting a couple inside their Wake County home earlier this year.
Under state law, when anyone 13 or older is charged with first-degree murder, their cases must be transferred to adult court.
The name of the 15-year-old will not be publicly revealed until he is indicted by a grand jury, an acknowledgement of his youth.
The boy is accused of killing Jose S. Mendoza and Maria Saravia Mendoza, who investigators have described as unintended targets in a war between rival gangs. The 15-year-old is one of two people charged in the case.
Isrrael Vasquez, 16, was charged as an adult with murder, felony conspiracy, first-degree burglary and possession of stolen property.
The Mendozas, each 34, were inside their townhome at 708 Colonial Drive, outside Garner, at about 12:30 a.m. Jan. 5, when investigators contend the teens broke in wielding guns. Investigators contend the teens had meant to enter a home where they believed rival gang members were. The Wake County sheriff said at the time of their arrest that there was no indication the teens knew the Mendozas.
The Mendozas worked in the kitchen at the Golden Corral restaurant on Grenele Street in south Raleigh.
They had two children, a 12-year-old son and a 3-year-old son, who was inside the townhome at the time of the shooting, but physically unharmed.

I am writing to correct any false impression your readers may have of the social work profession after reading the commentary by Jerry Kabat (Sept. 21, 2013). The writer expressed concern that free-speech rights of mental health counselors would be suppressed by the gay rights movement.
Free-speech rights cover public speech, and that would certainly include social workers who express opinions in public places such as our local paper. However, it is the social work code of ethics rather than personal opinions that guides social work practice. All social workers, including those who provide mental health counseling services, are bound to follow this code of ethics. This includes ethics related to discrimination:
"Social workers should not practice, condone, facilitate, or collaborate with any form of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national
origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, or mental or physical disability." (The Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers, 2008, NASW Press.)
The first amendment is especially relevant for the faith-based community. Social work professionals can and are indeed encouraged to refer clients to a priest, minister, rabbi, imam or other spiritual counselor for counseling on matters of faith.
