Unless otherwise noted, information about the following incidents was supplied by the South Kingstown Police Department. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
Third Domestic Incident Results in Felony Charges for South Kingstown Man
Jason M. Morris, 27, of 499 High St., South Kingstown, was arrested at about 5:26 a.m. on Oct. 1 and charged with domestic assault and domestic refusal to relinquish a telephone. Both charges were elevated to felonies because of previous arrests.
According to police, they received a call from a South Kingstown woman who told them that Morris had just assaulted her and left the area on foot. Police noted that there was an active no-contact order between her and Morris, based on incidents and arguments about his drug usage.
Police said they found Morris nearby, on the bike path near Main Street and Church Street. He was arrested without incident.
According to police, Morris began vomiting during transport, and as a result, he was taken to South County Hospital for treatment. He was discharged at about 7:30 a.m., and then transported to Fourth Division District Court at about 9 a.m.
Narragansett Man Charged With Drunken Driving
David R. Field, 48, of 10 Jean St., Narragansett, was arrested at about 10:31 p.m. on Oct. 1 and charged with drunken driving, and cited for refusing to submit to a chemical test.
According to police, an officer monitoring traffic at the Dale Carlia intersection noted a man in a blue pickup truck driving without a seatbelt on. A traffic stop was made near Belmont's Market.
Police said while speaking with Field, he appeared to be intoxicated. He told police he had had only one beer while bowling at Old Mountain Lanes earlier that night.
According to police, Field consented to field sobriety tests, which he then failed. He was arrested without incident. While being arrested, he allegedly told police, "I had a few but I'm not that bad."
Police said that at headquarters, Field refused to submit to a chemical test. He was cited for this as well, processed and then released at about 11:45 p.m.
Unless otherwise noted, the information for this article was compiled from South Kingstown police reports, which are available for review by any member of the public at their headquarters. If we're missing a call or report you're interested in knowing about, feel free to leave a comment or to send Local Editor Stephen Greenwell a message at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Republican Corruption, Pete Sessions (R-TX32), and the Weakness of the 1994 Revolution Leadership
by Matt Stoller, Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 07:44:51 AM EDT
CREW filed an ethics complaint today a complaint with the DOJ against Representative Pete Sessions of Texas, one of the most conservative members of the House and a clear Republican leader. The complaint alleges three things. One, Sessions urged concessions for the Louisiana Coushatta, a Jack Abramoff client, and then over the next 18 months received $20,500 in contributions from that and other Abramoff connected gaming interests. Two, he accepted a trip to Malaysia from Abramoff lobbying firm Greenberg Traurig and four months later formed a Malaysia caucus in the House. Previously he had no interest in Malaysia. And three, he earmarked millions for a San Francisco firm tech defense firm, Promia, and then received $55,000 over the past six years from executives at that firm for his reelection campaign.
Will Pryor, cousin brother of Democrat Mark Pryor, is running against Sessions, and it's a very tough district for a Democrat.
Sessions first came to Congress in 1996 after losing his first campaign in 1994 by a few points to John Bryant, a Texas Democrat. While Sessions didn't win in 1994, spiritually at least he is part of that group of 'revolutionaries' who ran on a platform of conservative reform. The ideological roots of this group stretch back to the 'New Right' of 1976-1978, and the Goldwater campaigns of 1960 and 1964. What has become very clear is that these are weak men, unable to follow through on the reform they promised. Whether it's Ralph Reed, who accepted $4 million of Jack Abramoff gaming money while denying that he knew the source (released emails show that he's lying), or George Bush increasing spending faster than any President since FDR, it seems that the guiding principle of the conservative movement is the personal weakness of the men who run it.
It is therefore not shocking that a conservative Congressman like Pete Sessions is corrupt, because the conservative movement now reflects the weak and cowardly character of its leadership. They were not strong enough to follow through on their promises in 1994, whether it was term limits, accountability for Congress, or integrity in government. I write this not because I am a liberal, but because I hope that genuine conservatives take back the movement that has deserted and defrauded them. Honest conservatives should be not just as outraged as I am, but more so, for it is not in my name that these people trashed what it means to be a conservative, it is in the name of everyone who thinks of themselves as a law-abiding conservative American.
I don't expect wide conservative outrage over Sessions, or Reed, or Delay, or Bush, of course. I expect reflexive defensiveness, and then I expect conservatives to make excuses and call these leaders 'too liberal', as they are right now doing with Bush and his 'liberal' spending. But I hope that I am wrong. I hope that conservatives take the time to figure out what has gone disastrously wrong in their movement, what has caused their movement to consistently promote and protect men who are too weak and cowardly to make hard choices. I expect more 'authoritarian cultism', as Glenn puts it, a fetish for loyalty even to those who have betrayed their every principle, but again I hope I am wrong, because this country needs a principled and honorable conservative movement, and what we have now is malignancy. Only conservatives can fix this, but the first step is to jettison folks like Sessions.

Winner of five Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Play, "War Horse" is based on Michael Morpurgo's children's novel about Joey, a hunting horse who is purchased by a hot-tempered, self-destructive man with Napoleon syndrome.
Willingness of disbelief is a term that's thrown around a lot when it comes to theater. The audience is willing to believe things that happen on stage that are unbelievable because they are performed well.
However, never has it been so enthrallingly powerful than when watching the national tour of "War Horse" at PlayhouseSquare's Palace Theatre.
At first, when three people walk onto the stage with a mechanical horse — one moving the hind legs, one the front and another standing to one side of the head — it is jarring. What do we do? Do we ignore these people? Are they really making that whinnying sound?
Within minutes, however, they disappear. These people are not hidden, mind you. They aren't dressed in all black. They are wearing clothing appropriate for the time of the play: Britain during World War I. And the horse is transparent. Yet, the actors are so thoroughly convincing in their movements, from making the horse breathe, to eating grass and shaking in reaction to being touched, that they completely fade away. It was one of the most surreal theater experiences I've ever had.
Winner of five Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Play, "War Horse" is based on Michael Morpurgo's children's novel about Joey, a hunting horse who is purchased by a hot-tempered, self-destructive man with Napoleon syndrome (or so it seemed in this version) and brought up by his son Albert (Alex Morf). Joey and Albert are kindred spirits, so when Albert's father sells Joey to the British cavalry and he is sent to France to fight, Albert quickly follows.
Albert and Joey's story lines are followed through the war, often happening on the stage at the same time even though they are in different places. What could have easily been confusing was done flawlessly. When Joey meets Topthorn, a larger, black horse, having both on stage made for the best scenes of the play. Those actors should get some sort of special award.
The idea of euthanizing a mechanical horse might seem rather campy in theory. But on stage, the crowd has come to love these animals made of people and the moment garnered an audible reaction from the audience.
I can't say enough about this play. From the adapted screenplay by Nick Stafford to the set design, costumes and drawings (there is a large piece of torn paper that adds to the story line as the play moves along) by Rae Smith, to the incredible Handspring Puppet Company of Cape Town choreographed by Toby Sedgwick, this production is one of the most visually impressive and emotionally gripping I have seen.

Pre-pharmacy program offered
Helena College will be providing students with a new educational opportunity this coming school year.
Helena College will be offering an Associate of Science degree with a pre-pharmacy program of study beginning in the fall, as part of a plan to develop its academics. The Montana Board of Regents approved the program at its May meeting in Great Falls. Helena College Science Instructor John Hartman is excited about being able to give students this new option.
"You always have pharmacies. You always have people who need medications. And you need people that are trained, that dispense those medications, and are able to provide advice. And we have a school of pharmacy here in Montana and it just felt like the natural and reasonable thing to do."
Students who pick this degree option will have targeted plans of study, that overlay with the two-year pre-pharmacy requirements of the University of Montana-Missoula Skaggs School of Pharmacy.

Auburn University President Jay Gogue received the 2014 Glenn Howze Academic Freedom Award from the Auburn chapter of the American Association of University Professors during the spring meeting of the University Faculty on March 25. Gogue is the second Auburn president to receive the award. The chapter's first Academic Freedom Award went to President William Muse in 1994. Harbert College of Business Professor Herbert Jack Rotfeld, right, president of the Auburn AAUP chapter, cited Gogue for active and ongoing support for the faculty's role in shared governance. The award is named for the late Glenn Howze, a leading advocate for shared governance who served as the 1998 chair of the University Senate.

Meet Hayley, the first patient of Auburn's Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital
AUBURN UNIVERSITY – Just like clockwork, Hayley Eustice and her owners arrived Monday at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, ready to start another week of medical therapy.
While Hayley's visit was routine, blood work and a check of her lymph nodes, for owners Elizabeth Eustice and Joan Taylor of Columbus, Ga., and the veterinarians and staff of the College of Veterinary Medicine, her arrival was significant – she was the first client in the door of the 208,000-square-foot Wilford and Kate Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital. Just like she's done on every visit, the white poodle pranced around to greet everyone, happy to see familiar faces.
Auburn water researchers using bees to help Kenya with nutrition, income and river protection
AUBURN UNIVERSITY – In Kenya, traditional cultures place a high value on honey and related products of the beehive – in the past it was part of the dowry or "bride price" for marriage, and a man needed to have at least 20 liters of choice honey to present to a prospective father-in-law when asking for his daughter's hand.
More than just a tradition, this commodity could be the key to improving many aspects of Kenyan lives.
Auburn University's Global Water Watch has joined with Kenya's Green Belt Movement to find innovative ways of linking honey production with improved nutrition, higher incomes, community development and river protection.
Auburn researcher part of team finding women's primetime coverage less than men's for Sochi Olympics
AUBURN UNIVERSITY – Through nine nights of NBC's Sochi Olympic broadcast, male athletes have again received the bulk of the primetime coverage, but not by as large a margin as in past years.
Lauren Smith, an assistant professor in Auburn University's School of Communication and Journalism in the College of Liberal Arts, along with a research team consisting of assistant professor James Angelini of the University of Delaware, professor Andrew Billings of the University of Alabama and associate professor Paul MacArthur of Utica College are charting the clock-time of the Olympic telecast. Thus far, male athletes have received 47.6 percent of NBC's primetime coverage, women athletes have received 37.6 percent of the coverage and pairs events have received the remaining 14.8 percent.

Video: Lim vs. Estrada debate on Umagang Harapan
ABS-CBN hosted a heated debate between, former President Joseph "Erap" Estrada and Mayor Alfredo Lim, through the "Umagang Kay Ganda." The debate turned ugly on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 as the two candidates traded insults on air.
The former President Erap stated that he pitied Mayor Lim and appointed him Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government after the latter placed fourth in the 1998 presidential race.
According to former President, Manila Mayor Lim betrayed him when Lim joined the so-called EDSA Dos revolt that deposed Estrada in 2001 due to corruption allegations. He also cited that he already forgave Lim with the incident when Mayor Lim visited him in Tanay resthouse in 2004 and allegedly begged his forgiveness.
Meanwhile on Mayor Lim's part he denied the accusations that he was weeping in front of Estrada and begging his forgiveness. He cited he would never cry in front of Estrada whom he described as a liar and a criminal.
Manila Mayor admitted that he abandoned Estrada during the EDSA Dos revolt, later convicted but was pardoned by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Other issues that were discussed were about the birth certificate. Estrada challenged Mayor Lim to produce his birth certificate after the mayor said he was born in Tondo, Manila. Lim also turned the tables on Estrada, saying that the former president should quit the race if he produces his birth certificate.

Obamacare is good for the nation
Dear Editor,
The argument as to whether we are going to have Obama medical insurance phased in over the next few years is over. The only way it can be slowed is for the Congress to refuse to fund the federal obligation under the Affordable Healthcare Law.
The only way to defund the law is for congress to refuse to pass a federal budget for 2014 and beyond. As soon as those social security and VA checks stop going out and Medicare stops paying medical claims, and as soon as about 2 million elderly residents in Medicaid funded nursing homes are told they must leave, there will be a political revolution that would sweep the Republican and, more specifically, the Tea Party out of American life in the 2014 election and for elections to come.
Every even mildly politically educated person knows this to be true, whether they will admit it or not. What is so terribly ironic is that the majority of the people who want Obamacare repealed are not significantly affected by the law.
About 100 million Americans who are covered by Medicare, Medicaid or other government-funded insurance will remain the same. And the vast majority of Americans will still be covered by employer sponsored health plans, which already comply or exceed the law's requirements.
The 40 million or 50 million who are affected are mostly people who do not have medical insurance due to personal choice, cost or pre-existing medical conditions.
Under Obamacare, most of these people will be covered by private insurance, with pro-rated premiums depending on income or they will be covered at little or no personal cost under the present Medicaid system.
This Republican-invented part of the law was supported by many conservatives as little as five years ago, because it would compel people who can pay part or all of their health insurance cost to do so.

By Greg Miller and Scott Wilson
The Washington Post
The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks led to a massive buildup of security to make the country safe. Subsequent plots, including attempts to conceal bombs in shoes and underwear, prompted hasty additions to that edifice, as officials sought to fill in cracks that terrorists might exploit.
The bombings at the Boston Marathon, carried out by two young men who immigrated to this country about a decade ago, are likely to yield a more frustrating security postmortem.
So far, there have been no calls for a major addition to the nation's counterterrorism infrastructure, in part because it is difficult to identify a realistic measure that might have prevented the attacks.
Instead, U.S. officials and counterterrorism experts said that, while the bombings may lead to incremental changes in efforts to secure such events, they exposed the limits of the extraordinary defenses erected over the past 12 years.
The United States has spent billions of dollars on counterterrorism efforts during that span, an investment that has accomplished much of its aim. Overseas operations have pushed al-Qaida to the brink of collapse, and domestic steps have dramatically reduced the country's exposure to an attack of the scale and sophistication of Sept. 11.
But the Boston bombings highlighted a lingering vulnerability that officials consider impractical, if not impossible, to eliminate. It centers on small-scale plots carried out by individuals who are unlikely to surface on federal radar. They rely on devices made from common ingredients like gunpowder, nails and a pressure cooker. They target public gatherings where security resources are stretched.
"There's just no way to secure many large public events, and the kind of intrusive steps we would have to take are ones that no one would be willing to endure," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a former federal prosecutor and member of the House Intelligence Committee. "We've always known the limits of what we could do in a free society, and this week we saw those limits in all their horror."

Apparently, 4C have already made short clips to flesh out the story, but this new feature will add yet further detail - and will also no doubt titillate Capcom's fans.
The anime will apparently directly arrive alongside the beat-em-up, according to the game's producer, speaking at last week's Tokyo Game Show.
The specialist studio have worked on a number of animation projects in the past, while Street Fighter IV will be released next year on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
We'll bring you more on this soon.

Two-way lineman Domonic De Souza has what from a college football prospect's standpoint is a pretty good problem to have.
The 6-foot-6 270-pounder's rare blend of size and athleticism makes him ideally suited to play a variety of positions from offensive tackle to defensive end.
De Souza, who earlier this month concluded his career at Terra Nova, has been getting looks from Division I college scouts intrigued by his potential upside at just about any line position on either side of the ball he wants to pursue.
"I think the thing that's going to have to sort itself out is 'what is Domonic?' " Terra Nova coach Bill Gray said. "Is he (an offensive) tackle or is he a defensive end or a defensive lineman?
The good news for De Souza is he'll have plenty of time to address that question.
The Terra Nova senior has made a nonbinding verbal commitment to play for perennial national power City College of San Francisco, Gray said. De Souza will likely gray-shirt his freshman year, allowing him to play for up to four years over a six-year participatory period should he move on to a four-year school.
Gray said De Souza's choice of CCSF was a "good decision" that will afford him the opportunity to grow into the position of his choosing, even though Terra Nova coaches may have their own idea of where he should be lining up.
The extra time figures to be a boon for his development.
"We perceive him at the next level as being an offensive lineman, but he's got that lean body; he could weigh 300 pounds in a heartbeat with the right training," Gray said.
De Souza hopes to follow the footsteps of former Tiger Jeremiah Stuckey, an offensive lineman who went to CCSF from Terra Nova. Stuckey earlier this month made a verbal commitment to play for Texas A&M.
Protecting 'Johnny Football':
Stuckey, who played for Terra Nova's 2010 Central Coast Section Division III championship team, gray-shirted his first year at CCSF, meaning he'll have three years of eligibility after red-shirting next year at Texas A&M.
He could be on an offensive line that protects Johnny Manziel, the freshman sensation whose emergence as "Johnny Football" has thrust the Aggies into the national spotlight.
"He was a very good student with a tremendous work ethic and he was a better athlete than a lot of people thought he was," Gray said of Stuckey.
"He was very dedicated."
Terra Nova hosting championship game:
Terra Nova won't actually get to play in a CCS championship game this year, but the Tigers will host one.
Terra Nova was selected as a neutral site to host a Division IV championship game between Peninsula Athletic League Bay co-champion Sacred Heart Prep (11-1) and PAL Ocean champ Menlo School (10-2) on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
The Tigers shared the Bay title with SHP and were awarded higher playoff seeding as a result of their 20-13 league win against the Gators on Oct. 12. Terra Nova's reward for that seeding arrangement was being dumped into the elite Open Division, where the Tigers met top-seeded Bellarmine in a lop-sided first round matchup.
SHP and Menlo had a much easier path to the championship game in the Division IV bracket.
Coaching vacancies:
Alma Heights Christian has openings for assistant baseball and softball coaches.
Interested applications should email Athletic Director Natalie Ayers for more information at email@example.com.

Get Custom Software Development for Your Business
I develop custom web or desktop software to meet your specific needs. Contact me if you need a custom software solution to implement your idea, manage data remotely, automate a manual process, or create/improve your web site.
Experienced Software Developer
I am an experienced software developer based in San Antonio, TX with a network of other senior software developers that I team with for larger projects.
I've developed custom software since 1995 implementing solutions for a wide range of projects. I developed firmware for a spacecraft mission that successfully impacted comet Tempel 1 on the 4th of July in 2005. I've developed websites, remote data management systems, desktop applications, and everything in between.
Since 2009, my focus has been on custom software development using Microsoft's .NET platform, the C# programming language, and SQLServer / MySQL databases.
I would enjoy speaking with you about your project or idea that would benefit from a custom software development solution. The best solutions are discovered through a software development philosophy that encourages the open exchange of ideas between people who are committed to solving a problem.
Working directly with an experienced software developer has advantages.
A senior developer with a broad range of custom software development experience can provide enhanced value that may replace contributions of two or more less experienced developers. A junior developer may not have experience with a diverse set of required skils such as database development and programming, architectural design, and user interface design. There is often a higher return on your investment with contracting a single senior custom software developer.
Some of the advantages of contracting with a senior custom software developer include:
- Reduced cost
- No need for expensive meetings between a large group of software developers
- No overhead costs associated with a large software development company
- You have no employee benefits costs for an independent contractor
- You get a senior software developer working on your project. Larger companies often use junior developers with oversight by a senior developer.
- Experience in all phases of custom software development to include
- Requirements gathering and documentation
- Architectural and user interface design
- Modular, object-oriented software development
- Software testing
- Custom software deployment
- Training and custom software usage documentation
- Custom software maintenance
- Understanding your technical requirements as well as the underlying business need.
- Designing with consideration of integrating future needs and features.
- Direct communication between you and the software developer.
- Reduced communication errors.
Developing Your Custom Software Remotely
I am based in San Antonio, Texas but developing custom software solutions for customers outside of the San Antonio area is not a limitation. You and I can accomplish almost everything via Internet communications. Web based applications are particularly easy to collaborate because I will develop your custom web site/application on a testing server that you can login to 24 hours a day to monitor progress and provide feedback.
Need a custom software application for your business?
Ideally, you'll find an off-the-shelf product to solve your needs. Sometimes, you could benefit from a custom software solution developed to fit your needs exactly.
Maybe you have a great idea for a software solution in your area of expertise, but you need an experienced software developer to develop the program without having the overhead costs of a large software development company.
I have a broad range of experience in commercial, industrial, and military custom software development.
Need to manage, collect, or process your data remotely?
Many businesses, laboratories, and other organizations rely on data maintained in a database. I can develop custom software applications that allow you to manage and interact with your data remotely.
Need an experienced software developer just for a specific project?
You may not want to hire an experienced software engineer as a full time staff member for a single software development project. Call me. I am always looking for opportunities to team with companies for custom software development on a project basis.
Need a website to promote your business?
Consumers expect businesses to have a website. You may need a dynamic, data-driven website to increase the efficiency or functionality of your business.
A clean, informative website represents your business 24 hours a day. A well designed website adds to your business credibility. You can use your web address on business cards, brochures, and other marketing materials. Your email address will include your web address instead of a @yahoo, @gmail, etc.
Does your website need a "facelift"?
Are you satisfied with your current website?
Do you have outdated information on your website?
Was your site built with a template and you would prefer a custom web site to fit your needs exactly?
You present a better impression when your website contains current, relevant information.
Custom Software Development Is My Passion
I am very fortunate to have an occupation that I love. Software transforms ideas into products. Analyzing a complex process, breaking it down into manageable pieces and then creating a custom software solution is an amazing experience.
I enjoy the enthusiasm and excitement of entrepreneurs and well established businesses -- people who are forward-looking and creating products that enrich others. My customers have direct communication with me throughout the design and development process. There is a rewarding synergy when there is an open exchange of ideas between people who are committed to solving a problem.
Software provides a means to connect - people, data, collaboration. Many of the popular and successful applications today are centered around connecting people and ideas. Do you have an idea that needs a custom software solution to help people connect or collaborate?
Software can make tedious and complex tasks easier and more efficient. Software solutions excel at performing a process the same way every time.
I look forward to discussing your ideas with you. Call me at (210) 387-0875 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Leviticus 20:1 – 27 (NRSV)
Penalties for Violations of Holiness
20) The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2Say further to the people of Israel: Any of the people of Israel, or of the aliens who reside in Israel, who give any of their offspring to Molech shall be put to death; the people of the land shall stone them to death. 3I myself will set my face against them, and will cut them off from the people, because they have given of their offspring to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name. 4And if the people of the land should ever close their eyes to them, when they give of their offspring to Molech, and do not put them to death, 5I myself will set my face against them and against their family, and will cut them off from among their people, them and all who follow them in prostituting themselves to Molech.
Psalm 72:4 (New International Version)
He will save the children.
6If any turn to mediums and wizards, prostituting themselves to them, I will set my face against them, and will cut them off from the people.
7Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the Lord your God. 8Keep my statutes, and observe them; I am the Lord; I sanctify you.
1 Peter 1:13-16 (New International Version)
Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
from Praying in the Wesleyan Spirit, by Paul Chilcote:
Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal.
–Philippians 3:12
God of Perfect Love,
You call me to be perfect even as you are perfect. That is a monumental claim upon my life. Despite the fact that this call to be completely conformed to the image of Christ–to be absolutely Christlike in my life–is offensive to many, I will strive to open my life to the transforming power of your perfecting love. My prayer is that I might become daily more and more like Jesus, your Son.
The perfection to which you call me certainly does not mean that I will ever be free from ignorance or mistakes or infirmities or temptation; neither is it a call to absolute perfection, for only your unconditional love is perfect in this sense.
Rather you call me quite simply to develop such a close and loving relationship with you that I would never want to do anything to separate myself from that love or withhold it from anyone else. You call me to be loving as Christ was loving, in every relationship and at all times. And if I live by your grace in this way, then I will always be able to look you in the face without fear and with love in my eyes.
So I pray sincerely that the blood of Christ might cleanse me from all sin. I know that you are ready to forgive all the darkness of my past and that you are able to fill my heart with your life-transforming Spirit. I know that Jesus is my advocate, a liberator who frees me from the bondage of my past and sets my course for a future filled with reconciling and liberating love. Purify me from pride, from self-will, and from anger.
Grant me courage to press on toward the mark for the prize of your high calling in Jesus Christ, not because I can make it my own, but because you have made me your own. Amen.
9All who curse father or mother shall be put to death; having cursed father or mother, their blood is upon them.
10If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.
Reflections on adultery:
"The evils of the body are, murder, theft, and adultery; of the tongue, lying, slander, abuse, and idle talk; of the mind, covetousness, hatred, and error."
"You know, of course, that the Tasmanians, who never committed adultery, are now extinct."
–William Somerset Maugham
"He and I had an office so tiny that an inch smaller and it would have been adultery."
–Dorothy Parker
"I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak, and love. And Mother. And God."
–Johnny Cash
"Sin cannot tear you away from Christ, even though you commit adultery a hundred times a day and commit as many murders."
–Martin Luther
11The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.
12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have committed perversion, their blood is upon them.
13If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.
14If a man takes a wife and her mother also, it is depravity; they shall be burned to death, both he and they, that there may be no depravity among you.
–Hard to believe they needed a command to say, "Don't marry your mother-in-law"!
15If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he shall be put to death; and you shall kill the animal. 16If a woman approaches any animal and has sexual relations with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.
17If a man takes his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace, and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, he shall be subject to punishment.
18If a man lies with a woman having her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow and she has laid bare her flow of blood; both of them shall be cut off from their people.
19You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for that is to lay bare one's own flesh; they shall be subject to punishment. 20If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they shall be subject to punishment; they shall die childless. 21If a man takes his brother's wife, it is impurity; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
22You shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and observe them, so that the land to which I bring you to settle in may not vomit you out. 23You shall not follow the practices of the nation that I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them. 24But I have said to you: You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God; I have separated you from the peoples.
25You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean; you shall not bring abomination on yourselves by animal or by bird or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean. 26You shall be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples to be mine.
The hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy" was written in 1826 by Reginald Heber, a bishop in the north of India for the Church of England and a prolific hymn writer. It is a true classic — sung here by Hillsong United.
27A man or a woman who is a medium or a wizard shall be put to death; they shall be stoned to death, their blood is upon them.

SC Unveils New License Plate
By Catherine M. Welch
Wilmington, NC – South Carolina's license plate is getting a new look next year.
Nearly three million vehicles in South Carolina are sporting plates with the green and brown Palmetto tree and the slogan: Smiling Faces Beautiful Places. But starting next year South Carolina will be issuing a new license plate.
It will have the web address for the state's department of tourism underneath a silhouetted palmetto tree and crescent moon in front of a sky that would make Maxfield Parish sigh.
A golf club manager designed the new South Carolina license plate, which got more than 100,000 votes in the state's license plate design competition.
South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles says the last design took place in 1998. The new south Carolina license plate will hit the streets in July of next year.

Posts Tagged 'Agenda 21'
Good News in the Fight Against Agenda 21
Here is Tom DeWeese on our progress in the fight against Agenda 21.
Rescue Mission: Planet Earth – A Children's Edition of Agenda 21
Rescue Mission" Planet Earth – A Children's Edition of Agenda 21 was first published by KingFisher Books on Earth Day 1994. It was written, designed and illustrated by Children's Task Force on Agenda 21. The book is credited to Children of the World in association with the United Nations. The sponsors are:
This book contains an Introduction by then Secretary General of the United Nations, Boutros Boutros-Ghali in which he admits that "Agenda 21 contains a special chapter devoted to children and youth in sustainable development, which stresses the need for their active involvement in matters related to environment and development."
This book is roughly 100 pages of single sided and double-sided "lessons" for our youth. It is an indoctrination manual design to spread fear, exaggerate concerns, and rob the innocence of our children. There is a smog poem on page 11 written by a poor indoctrinated child from Poland that is utterly heart-breaking. There are warnings about a hole in the ozone-layer, vanishing mountains, expanding deserts, destroyed rain forests, polluted seas and rivers etc.
There are photos attached to provocative headlines but no clear indication that the photo represents the results of the issue discussed. In some cases it is obvious that there is no connection, but to a child this is all very convincing. The purpose of the book is to push a specific agenda. The pushers of Agenda 21 have no sense of decency. They hide behind the fact that these topics were developed by children for children. It is disgusting to see what these children regurgitate. There is no science in this book, it is all theory, hype and emotion. It is also quite revealing as to who these propagandists really are. Click the picture to download the book.
Agenda 21 for Public Officials
Here is a tremendous resource for Public Officials to help them understand and combat Agenda 21 in their communities. This is also helpful for anyone who would like to become a local official or who is supporting/courting candidates for local offices.
Presentations such as this are being conducted in front of groups in communities all across these United States. If you are a member of a community group or hold a leadership position and would like to bring in a presenter, Hal Shurtleff is busy conducting such talks and soliciting engagements. For More Information on a presentation in your town: Call Hal at 857-498-1309.
If you are engaged in a green organization, and want to help the environment without destroying private property rights, you are not alone. A presentation in front of your group or members of your group in an independent venue is a great idea so that you can continue your fine work without allowing others to destroy your rights in the process.
Agenda 21 in Your Hometown Comprehensive Plan
Agenda 21 in Your Hometown Comprehensive Plan
Your local government does not hold membership in ICLEI so there is no cause for concern, right? Not so fast ! Agenda 21 is often implemented without ICLEI membership. In fact, almost every community in this country has been tainted by the UN initiated Agenda 21 assault on individual property rights and its web of innocuous sounding vernacular. For sure, those with membership are at the forefront of implementation of Agenda 21. Most of those communities have serious, often well-intentioned, participants who are dedicated to carry out the UN mission usually without any understanding of the conflict that exists between Agenda 21 and the traditional American system. Education for Sustainability works well to soften local leaders and prepare the way for a democratic transformation from an American System of individual rights to an International System of collective rights.
Bristol Township
My local community is Bristol Township in Bucks County Pennsylvania. Bristol does not hold ICLEI membership as far as I can tell, however, we have a draft comprehensive plan that reeks Agenda 21. It was approved in June 2008. You see, there are other vehicles that the UN has to provide assistance in implementing their schemes. In this case, it appears as though our State government assumed that role. Let's step through the comprehensive plan and highlight some obvious areas where Agenda 21 roars its ugly head.
The Introduction gives us insight into how the State uses our own tax dollars to bribe our communities. First the taxes are collected from us, then they are sent to our communities in the form of grants which help to formulate a plan. The plan is designed to qualify the community for additional grants which are earmarked to assist in the rollout of Agenda 21:
This document was prepared with financial assistance from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development through a Land Use Planning and Technical Assistance Program (LUPTAP) grant.
The introduction section contains background information which often re-enforces the top-down method of our modern planners. In this case they are sure to emphasize the fact that our community is in compliance with the state:
This update of the Bristol Township Comprehensive Plan is prepared under the authority granted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to municipalities to prepare comprehensive plans in accordance with the provisions of the Municipalities Planning Code (MPC). Article III of the MPC provides requirements regarding the content and information that must be included as part of a comprehensive plan. … The plan provides a blueprint for housing, land use, community facilities, and transportation. It is not a legal document but assists decision-makers. It contains no rules or regulations but forms the basis for zoning regulations.
A visit to http://www.newpa.com/ is an eye-opening experience. It is hard to fathom and difficult to describe the extent to which the State of Pennsylvania is promoting its own self-destructive policies thru an extensive grant program.
The Vision of the Comprehensive Plan
The Vision of the Comprehensive Plan is a reflection of Agenda 21. To illustrate this point I will juxtapose the "Overall Goal" against a graphical representation of the Agenda 21 Three E's or Three Pillars of Sustainability.
The overall goal of the Comprehensive Plan Update is to create and maintain the physical, economic, and social environment of the township.
The vision explains that the goals of the comprehensive plan will be attained by promoting "Smart Growth" principles and "Sustainability" principles. Stack 'em and pack 'em housing is alluded to in the following goals:
Proper accommodation of the 2008 to 2018 population in sound housing supported by superior municipal services. Maintenance and/or re-establishment of land use patterns which create healthful, convenient and prosperous living and working arrangements, including employment opportunities for township residents.
The vision also expresses an interest in expanding the means of alternate transportation. Apparently, automobiles are not considered a "sustainable" transportation method in large-scale.
The remainder of the document progresses through every area of community life. All the polices in each section can be traced back to the goals specified in the vision section of the document and that vision is our local interpretation of Agenda 21. It is striking to see the authoritarian attitude which exudes from this planning document. The vast majority of our community is in private hands, yet the local government views the entire geographic area in terms of "resources" that it can control or regulate. There is occasional lip-service given to the individual land owner, however, it is clear that the individual is subordinated in favor of the community as a whole.

Michelle Rhee and StudentsFirst Push Agenda 21: Communizing America's Schools
Who is Michelle Rhee?
Michelle Rhee was the Chancellor of the Washington DC School System. She was given free reign by then Mayor Fenty. She implemented many changes including a controversial program call IMPACT which used standardized testing results to evaluate "value-added" teachers. Her successor has sought a probe into a possible cheating scandal involving a high rate of erasure markings on student tests. One has to wonder what impact IMPACT had on the testing results. hmm.
Who is Mayor Kevin Johnson?
Kevin Johnson is a retired NBA player turned Mayor of Sacramento. He and Rhee were recently married. Among his varied business dealings he founded the St. Hope Academy in 1989. In 2003, St. Hope formed St. Hope Public Schools, an independent charter school system. In 1995 he was accused of Sexual assault and tendered a proposed settlement agreement which would have paid the girl's family $230,000. The DA decide not to prosecute the case on the grounds that a conviction was unlikely. Another charge involving a 2007 incident with a high school student caused a teacher to resign over the investigation tactics employed by the school administrators which included intimidation of the victim and inappropriate requests of the resigning teacher in whom the student had confided. In 2009, St Hope Academy agreed to a settlement involving payment in excess of $400,000 amidst allegations that it did not appropriately spend AmeriCorps grant money.
About StudentsFirst
Policy Agenda
The third objective under StudentsFirst's own Policy Agenda pushes Agenda 21's Sustainability angle.
Districts should use resources efficiently to ensure sustainable spending that puts students first. Districts should be managed through structures that ensure a focus on student results rather than adult interests.
Let's take a look at these new governance structures. She wants to implement mayoral control or state-run charter schools. Both of these suggestions remove parental control by dismantling the local school boards in favor of management by politicians who are less accessible or by private corporations. The name of the game is to remove your ability to impact change and to normalize the system. When I say normalize the system, I mean, make sure that any districts within the current system that have active parental involvement and have been successful in protecting the students from harmful policies will be stripped of their power so that the advantage can be neutralized. Agenda 21 is all about sacrificing individual rights in favor of collective rights. While the Wetlands program implements this philosophy in the industries involving raw materials, the Rhee Solution implements this same philosophy in the education arena.
School Choice is pushed as a solution to inequality. It is argued that wealthy parents have a choice but the poor do not. Rhee is only interested in a choice among government sanctioned institutions. Her organization seeks to pour public funds into private institutions, to promote voucher systems, and to build charter (corporate) schools. This is a facade. It looks like choice but it is the federalization of all the existing options and it is a communization of the entire system. Once all school options share a common funding source, they will also share a common curriculum and a common regulatory and legal liability.

The NAFTA Bridge: China's Economic War on America
The North American Free Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) continues to ravage the US economy and threatens our national sovereignty. Here is a video outlining some of the major events currently unfolding in the north. The Texas efforts, aided by Gov. Rick Perry, ran into some snags as Texas farmers objected to the outright theft of their farming lands for use in building the NAFTA super highway. Little resistance to similar moves exists in Michigan, however, as the economy has been decimated and there are few left with the economic wherewithal to stand up and fight. It seems that the focus has shifted from Texas to Michigan. I am sure the Texas project will be revisited at a later time when resistance has weakened. In the meantime, take a look at the role Canada is playing and the Michigan efforts.
Agenda 21: Liberty vs Sustainability
[This is a follow-up to my previous Agenda 21 post]
Agenda 21 is a truly radical attempt to undermine all foundational principles by which we seek to live our lives. It is a propaganda mechanism. It seeks to convince good people to reorient their lives. It is being implemented in a classic pincer-style fashion where International organizations at the top fashion policy while Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) at the bottom pressure local leaders to take up the cause. Meanwhile, The policies filter down thru the federal, state and county governments in the form of policy directives, regulatory fiat and town enticing grants.
To illustrate how this "Fundamental Change" is altering our way of life I enclose a brief matrix. The items on the left are the foundational principles of the American Republic. The items on the right are the foundational substitutes of the new global society. It is important to understand that the items on the right are promulgated to our youth as a part of our national education program. This program is now instituting ESD or "Education for Sustainable Development".
The Education for Sustainable Development Toolkit is based on the idea that communities and educational systems within communities need to dovetail their sustainability efforts. As communities develop sustainability goals, local educational systems can modify existing curriculums to reinforce those goals. — ESD Toolkit Version 2.0 (Author's Note)
Opposing Values Matrix
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… — Declaration of Independence
|Principles of the Declaration
|Principles of Education for "Sustainability".
|Implementation: The United States Constitution- Elected Representation
|Implementation: The United Nations Charter- Appointed Representation
Here is a truly astounding admission that our educational system has a stake in "dumbing down" our children.
Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes. In this case, more education increases the threat to sustainability.
The ESD Toolkit version 2.0: See the Introduction subheading – Education: Promise and Paradox
How can I be certain that this curriculum is now in place throughout this nation? The US Partnership For Education For Sustainability tells us so. http://usp.umfglobal.org/main/view_archive/1
September 21, 2010 – Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan gives keynote address at Sustainability Education Summit – "Today, I promise you that [the Department of Education] will be a committed partner in the national effort to build a more environmentally literate and responsible society… We must advance the sustainability movement through education… Education and sustainability are the keys to our economic future-and our ecological future… We are proud to be… joining you in this work, and hopeful about the impact we will make together. Click here for full text of speech
So you see, our educational system is now oriented towards sustainability. The problem is that sustainability is based on the concept that wealth is limited and needs to be shared. As a nation we have approximately 5% of our land mass classified as developed or in use. We have no shortage of resources. Liberty, private property and innovation is how we have provided for ourselves and our posterity. We have done a remarkable job of it too. We have done a far better job of providing for succeeding generations than any socialist system could dream of doing.
We no longer test for knowledge but rather we assess our children's values as if they were a house or some other resource. Do our children exhibit the predetermined values our educators seek to instill? You bet they do. We need to wrest education from the state. If we stop the implementation of "sustainability" without fixing the education problem we will see all our efforts erased by a future generation.

Agenda 21: The UN is not your Freind
It seems the United Nations has been able to attract members from the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join its International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability USA is a UN sponsored Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) whose main objective is to entice local governments to implement United Nations strategy, agenda, and initiatives and to create grass-roots pressure upon the County, State and Federal government to adopt these measures.
If your local government is a member of ICLEI, they are partnering directly or indirectly with other local governments the world-over to transform our very way of life into a United Nations vision of "Sustainable" living. Now there's a lot of propaganda out there that sells these concepts. The eco-freindly terms "sustainability", "Biodiversity", "Multi-Stakeholder partnerships", "Smart growth", "comprehensive planning", "growth management", etc are designed to disarm and mislead local leaders. Chances are your local leaders look at this group as an aid to formulating 21st century local planning. They have no idea how deep they are in it. Unfortunately, the threat is very real. You see the United Nations knows that their Agenda 21 is so radical that they could never implement it from the top down. They have to convince local leaders that they are implementing a policy that is local in scope and benign to its citizens. The thrust of Agenda 21 is to transform traditional individual property rights into collective property rights. Through regulations, Agenda 21 seeks to develop communities that are "sustainable" on their terms. The rights of the individual are of no concern. Agenda 21 is based upon the premise that government planning should replace the western understanding of private stewardship. Carroll County Maryland agrees with this assessment. Read their Press Release here: Fighting 59th Terminates ICLEI Membership
There are also Constitutional concerns. Local governments cannot bypass the Congress of the United States and establish partnerships that are global in scope. The federal government has authority to set foreign policy. All elected local officials swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
United States Constitution: Article 1 Section 10
paragraph 1. No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.
paragraph 3. No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in a war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
ICLEI uses the population of the localities and the income level of its citizens to price their membership and they include those population totals when they boast of their membership totals. So essentially, if your local government is a member, they used your tax dollars (minimal amount) to achieve membership for yourself. You may be a member and not even know it !
Lets take a look at the Pennsylvania ICLEI delegation (hyperlinks obtained on ICLEI membership list except Forest Hills):
- Allegheny County joined in 2009
- Cranberry Township joined in 2009 (3 Climate Protection Milestones Awarded)
- East Whiteland Township joined in 2009
- Falls Township joined in 2009
- Forest Hills joined in 2010
- Haverford joined in 2007 (1 Climate Protection Milestones Awarded)
- Lower Makefield joined in 2007
- Lower Southampton Township joined in 2009
- City of Meadville joined in 2008
The City of Meadville is putting the final touches on a Greenhouse Gas Inventory. This inventory addresses the emissions from City owned facilities. Once the inventory is complete, target reductions will be identified and implemented.
- Middletown Township joined in 2009
- Montgomery Township joined in 2009
- Mt. Lebanon joined in 2008
- Narberth joined in 2008

How Does BTR Prep For The Stage?
Any Rusher knows, BTR puts on some of the greatest shows on earth! From super cool stunts, to amazing choreography, these boys know just what it takes to get their fans up and jumping. But where exactly does all their high energy come from? Well, Carlos Pena and James Maslow revealed their pre-performance routine to Cambio and we've got the full recap right here!
While many performers like to indulge in some R&R before taking to the stage, BTR buds James and Carlos have a whole different way of prepping. "Lots of food, lots of water and kind of just dancing around," Carlos said. "James and I actually go work out right before the show, it's a weird strategy."
"I know it sounds crazy but it gives you energy," James added. "Just enough to do an hour and a half performance and then we crash...so it's a good way to fall asleep on the bus too."
Whether they're sneaking in a quick gym visit minutes before their opening number, or snoozing post-show, these dudes definitely know the recipe for a knockout tour.

A whole bunch of girls take a shower together on Bournemouth beach, and The Sun is there.
In fact, it's a record setting shower — that's 152 bodies in that shower together.
It's also a publicity stunt for Lynx. Lynx makes stinkum and washup — it's the UK brand for what we know as Axe (Body Spray etc.) here in the States. Here's your link, Lynx boys, send cash.
And the whole thing was co-ed. Yes, co-ed. There were dudes in that shower. Pasty, flabby English dudes grinning as they do with mouthfuls of bad teeth. Fortunately, very few of them made it into the video. The director opted instead for bouncing breasts, which was a good call:
The pictures, too, went light on the blokes, though a few did slip in here and there. Enjoy — carefully:

The Riot That Changed America
Reporter Jefferson Morley re-creates the forgotten race riot of 1835 and discusses how it shaped American politics today.
The summer of 1835 was pivotal in American history. Pro- and antislavery ideologies were already clashing around the country, particularly in Washington, D.C. But few know about the first race riot that shook the nation's young capital. In Snow-Storm in August: Washington City, Francis Scott Key, and the Forgotten Race Riot of 1835, former Washington Post reporter Jefferson Morley uses firsthand accounts and public records to re-create the characters and the tensions that led to the event. Morley recently spoke to U.S. News about the significance of the race riot and how he says it has shaped American politics today. Excerpts:
What would surprise readers most about this period?
I think the fact that more than half the black people in Washington were free 25 years before the Civil War. And that's really what this book reveals, how the struggle against slavery began in a thriving black community of Washington, D.C.
[Check out U.S. News Weekly, now available on iPad.]
Did the tensions in Washington contribute to the Civil War?
The ideological struggle that leads to the Civil War starts in this period. I think we focus too much on what happened in 1860. To me, it's more like a 30-year conflict that had five years of armed conflict at the end of it.
Was Washington's geographic location a factor?
This is a key piece of the background. When the Founding Fathers were trying to figure out where the capital would go, they decided that it would not be the capital of any state, so the idea was to create a federal district. Originally that federal district was going to be on the Susquehanna River, dividing Pennsylvania from Maryland. But for the Southerners, that was worrisome because Pennsylvania had abolished slavery for most people by 1800 and the southerners in Congress did not want to have a capital on free territory that suggested that there was something wrong with the institution of slavery. So they pushed Alexander Hamilton to move the capital site farther south, cutting a federal district out of Maryland and Virginia, where slavery was legal. For the Southerners this preserved the legitimacy of slavery in the national capital, [which] was essential to the legitimacy of slavery nationwide. What the abolitionists brought to Washington in the 1830s was not, Let's abolish slavery everywhere; they were saying, Let's abolish it in the District. And the Southerners understood how important that was symbolically to the rest of the nation.
[See photos of America's Bloodiest Battle: The 150th Anniversary of Antietam.]
What set off the first race riot in D.C.?
A combination of things. There were fears of a slave rebellion that summer. The newspapers in July 1835 were filled with stories about a possible slave uprising in Mississippi. Second, the antislavery forces were pushing their agenda very hard and mailing antislavery material to everybody in Washington. And that was unprecedented, even shocking, that slavery was even written about and described. And then there was this story that went around in Washington that Arthur Bowen, an 18-year-old slave boy, had attacked his mistress in her bedroom with an axe. A shocking crime that fed into these fears of abolitionists [and] fears of a slave rebellion, and the whites of the city erupted in violence to put down the abolitionists and the free blacks and to defend slavery.
Why is this event largely unknown?
I think there was a lot of shame attached to it. Schools and churches were trashed. And then, you know, we don't care to remember, as Americans, how our politics were shaped in formative ways by slavery. And so we paper that over and we honor Francis Scott Key as the father of "The Star-Spangled Banner," but we don't mention that he was a slave owner and a vigilant defender of slavery and a man who sought to suppress the antislavery movement.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
What was Key's role in this story?
Key, in the mid-1830s, had long been famous as the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." And he's a politically ambitious man and loyal to President Andrew Jackson. Jackson rewards him with the job of district attorney for the city of Washington. And the reason Jackson put him in there was to put down the antislavery movement and to enforce the legality of slavery in the District of Columbia.
