Giant F***ing Crocodile Captured In Philippines
Note: Slightly larger picture HERE, short video after the jump.
Seen here looking suspiciously like the one that took Captain Hook's hand, a massive 21-foot, 2,370-pound crocodile poses with mayor Edwin Eldore (the dude in the undershirt, also: sweet LOTR name, bro) of Bunawan township, where the beast was captured alive. The plan is to make the monster the main attraction of a new animal park with the hope of boosting local tourism without the crocmonster escaping and eating everyone.
"It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset."
About 100 people had to pull the crocodile...from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck, he said.Despite the catch, villagers remain wary because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37,000 people.
They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.
AHAHAHHAHAHA @ "They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night." Yeah, I don't actually need to be told that. Get it? Nobody tells me what to do! Besides, I'm smart enough to know that if you're heading through the marsh at night to meet the voodoo lady, it's always best to bring a younger, slower sibling. It's called the buddy system folks, and it works.
Hit the jump for a short video of the crocpocalypse.

Direct Vent or Free Gas Fireplace
Im fiinishing a Great Room remodel but running low on funds and trying to figure out what to do about planned fireplace. I purchased a used one cheap thinking it was direct vent but it turns out it just a natural gas fireplace (Majestic BVNR36). The owner said it worked great and really heats up the room but the guy I want to install it says it will be much less efficient than a direct vent thats rated at half the BTUs.
The other issue Is the flu will be exposed above the mantel ( Mantel is 7 feet high). for about 4 feet where it will go into the catherdal ceiling. We are planning on putting a stainless steel sleeve around it but might not be able to afford it for a while. Ive been told since direct vents have outside air coming it that the pipe is well insulated. What about the plain natural gas ones with the double wall pipes? Any thoughts on this, If it was up to me I'd wait until I have a better idea what I want I can affort, but thinking its best to put the fireplace in now while cieling joists are exposed (no drywall or insulation in). |

Direct Vent or Free Gas Fireplace
Better check with your areas local code enforement.
Direct vents are better. They don't use inside air for combustion. So you don't end up pulling in large amounts of dry outdoor air, and help damage any hardwood you have. |

text: Based on true facts, a gang of suburban kids is sport-killing home-less people just for fun in the streets of Chicago. One day, they decide to try a new excitement, by murdering a young Mexican working girl, assuming there would be no consequences since she was illegal. Police detective Carla Moreno takes the case personally and starts an investigation that leads her to a case of racial hatred and police corruption.

After months of LeFlore Countians being under a burn ban, they now have the all-clear after the ban was lifted today. According to LeFlore County Emergency Management Director Michael Davidson, the burn ban issued by Gov. Mary Fallin for LeFlore County was lifted after the area received substantial rainfall. The burn ban issued by the LeFlore County Commissioners was allowed to expire weeks ago.
Recent rains and a chancy weather forecast have washed out this yearŌĆÖs Honobia Big Foot Conference and Festival, organizer Darryl Williams announced Wednesday. The event was scheduled to run Friday through Sunday. The festival was to be held in a hay field on Mood Dog Ranch, down 2.8 miles of dirt road, he said. Williams said organizers are planning improvements to the site so that an all-weather festival can be held next year. He said progress updates will be posted on his website, www.HonobiaBigFootPRINT.com.
PANAMA ŌĆö The Panama Lady Razorbacks softball team will get a chance to defend their Class 2A state title this weekend. However, it was a little harrowing if that chance was going to present itself. After Wyandotte defeated Panama 6-0 in the first Class 2A Regional Tournament title game, the Lady ŌĆÖBacks found themselves against the wall ŌĆö needing to win, or go home.
WISTER ŌĆö Last Friday, things were not looking too promising for the Wister Wildcats baseball team to keep the streak alive of seasons at state. At that moment, the streak stood at five. After the ŌĆÖCats lost the Class A Regional Tournament title game 11-0 to host Rattan, they had to beat Tushka for a second time to make state as consolation champions. With the game tied 2-2 in the seventh inning, senior Tyler Gibson hit a two-run home run to propel the Wildcats to a 4-2 victory ŌĆö and make it six straight seasons at state, dating back to May 2010.
Last year, the Poteau Pirates football team suffered a heartbreaking 59-56 shootout loss on the road against the Fort Gibson Tigers. That taste of defeat did not sit well with current senior lineman Trevor Shankle.
The Poteau Pirates freshmen football team had its stiffest test, or so it was appearing to be, Tuesday night at Costner Stadium when the Vian Wolverines came to town. While the Wolverines were trying to hand this bunch their first-ever loss, the Pirates had other ideas. Even with freshman, and current varsity, running back Roger Barcheers in street clothes on the sideline, the Pirates did not miss a beat as they routed the Wolverines 41-6.
Although the high school football playoffs will not start until Nov. 9, for all intents and purposes they have now started for the Arkoma Mustangs (1-4, 1-3 in District C-4). ŌĆ£The playoffs have started for us,ŌĆØ said Mark Weatherton, Arkoma's coach. ŌĆ£We need to win or we're probably done.ŌĆØ The Mustangs lost their third straight district game last Friday night at Mustang Field, falling 53-8 to Southwest Covenant.

Marvel's The Avengers (titled Marvel Avengers Assemble in the UK and Ireland) is a 2012 American superhero film about a team of superheroes who come together to form the Avengers to help stop Thor's brother Loki from enslaving the human race. It is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name.
- Written and directed by Joss Whedon. Story by Zak Penn and Joss Whedon.
Tony Stark/Iron ManEdit
- It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
- Pepper Potts: Is this about the Avengers? Which I know nothing about.
- Tony Stark: The Avengers initiative was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify.
- Potts: I didn't know that either.
- Stark: Apparently I'm volatile, self-obsessed, and don't play well with others.
- Potts: That I did know.
- Nick Fury: We have no quarrel with your people.
- Loki: An ant has no quarrel with a boot.
- Nick Fury: You planning to step on us?
- Loki: Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart, you will know peace.
- Nick Fury: Yeah, you say peace. I kinda think you mean the other thing.
- Loki: [To crowd] Kneel before me. I said... kneel! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.
- Old German: [Stands] Not to men like you.
- Loki: There are no men like me.
- Old German: There are always men like you.
- Loki: How desperate are you? That you call on such lost creatures to defend you?
- Nick Fury: How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war, you steal a force you can't hope to control, you talk about peace, and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did.
- Loki: Ooh. It burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power. Unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share? And then to be reminded what real power is.
- Nick Fury: Well, let me know if "real power" wants a magazine or something.
- Steve Rogers: We have orders, we should follow them.
- Tony Stark: Following's not really my style.
- Steve Rogers: And you're all about style, aren't you?
- Tony Stark: Of the people in this room, which one is: A, wearing a spangly outfit; and B, not of use?
- Steve Rogers: Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?
- Tony Stark: Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist.
- Steve Rogers: I know guys with none of that worth ten of you.
- World Security Council: Director Fury, the council has made a decision.
- Nick Fury: I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it.
- Phil Coulson: [Dying, holding a very large gun] You're going to lose.
- Loki: Am I?
- Coulson: It's in your nature.
- Loki: Your heroes are scattered, your floating fortress falls from the sky. Where is my disadvantage?
- Coulson: You lack conviction.
- Loki: I don't think I-
- [Coulson fires the weapon, blasting Loki through a wall]
- Coulson: So that's what it does.
- Loki: What have I to fear?
- Tony Stark: The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type thing.
- Loki: Yes, I've met them.
- Tony Stark: Yeah. Takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one but, let's do a head count here: Your brother, the demigod; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with... breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
- Loki: That was the plan.
- Tony Stark: Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you.
- Loki: I have an army.
- Tony Stark: We have a Hulk.
- Loki: I thought the beast had wandered off.
- Tony Stark: You're missing the point. There's no throne. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes, and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it.
[After Loki throws him out a window, and his suit catches him]
- Tony Stark: And there's one other person you pissed off....His name was Phil.
[Blasts Loki]
- Loki: Enough! All of you are beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature, and I shall not be bullied by—
- [Hulk grabs Loki and slams him around, then leaves him face-up on the floor in a crater]
- Hulk: Puny god. [Walks off]
- Avengers Assemble!
- Some assembly required.
- Every team needs a Captain.
- Throw down the hammer.

Can This Be Christmas? Dakota Home Lone Star Baby Montana Moon Over Water Mrs. Miracle Sooner or Later This Matter of Marriage Three Brides, No Groom Touched By Angels
Dakota Home
Lone Star Baby
Moon Over Water
Mrs. Miracle
Sooner or Later
This Matter of Marriage
Three Brides, No Groom
Touched By Angels
Cecilia and Ian Randall, the young couple who request a divorce, have plenty of problems in their marriage - Ian is in the Navy and gone for long periods of time when he can't contact his wife. One of those times Cecilia gave birth prematurely and then had to deal with the death of their baby alone. Their need to deal with that grief and with their marriage makes up a central part of the book.
There are other stories, however. Olivia's daughter, Justine, has to cope with deciding between what seems safe and allowing herself to love someone who won't be a comfortable choice. Olivia meets a new man years after the last man she loved divorced her and re-married. Olivia's mother, Charlotte, fights to make her dead friend's last request meaningful to his remaining family. Olivia's good friend, Grace, has to face the disappearance not just of her love but, quite literally, her husband.
Trust is a central issue in each story - trust in another, trust in love, trust lost and trust found. The author works yet another facet of love and trust into each relationship and story she introduces. The main story is that of the newlyweds, Ian and Cecilia, who are hurting from their daughter's death and their decision to divorce. The sudden roadblock they get in the way of their separation leads them to an almost-reconciliation before Ian is sent away on duty again. Their e-mails and letters to each other show how they begin to learn about each other, including how to trust. Both Ian and Cecilia have to forgive the other and, more importantly, themselves, before they can move on to a real marriage.
Ultimately, though, the book leaves an unsatisfactory feeling. Maybe there are too many stories, most of which are not necessarily compelling. Ian and Cecilia's is developed the most and has some nice touches, but Olivia's love story seems to be skimmed over and Grace's story (which presumably will be part of a sequel) is left frustratingly in limbo. Justine's character is annoying and makes the reader nearly wish she didn't have a HEA since she seems to have no idea what to do with one. Charlotte's story is touching but, once again, very brief. These seem to be more brief vignettes, loosely linked, than a fully developed intertwining of the characters.
16 Lighthouse Road would have been a better book if a few stories had been dropped out - or left for a sequel - so the reader could get to really know the characters rather than being merely introduced to them.

Justin in CA
My name is justin and this is my experience! I bought the radiator sat past shipping hours and received it on Monday! Great shipping!! The radiator is far better than I thought. Polished to a high shine, far bigger than oem standards! Fits exactly to the stock mounts. I contacted Eric Mlyer with a few questions I had, he got right back to me and was very professional. They've been in the business for 25 years and there's a reason for that! $150 dollar radiator and I feel like I received a 300$ radiator. Awesome looking radiator couldn't be happier!

- Flat-panel TVs
- See the Toshiba 32C120U (pictures)
Cheap TV comparisons are like cheap boxes of chocolate. As long as you temper your expectations, you never know what you're going to get. Toshiba's 32C120U is currently selling for the insanely low price of $250 on Amazon -- ranking it among the top few on that site's Best Sellers list for the last couple of months. Amazingly, given the price, it doesn't suck.
In fact, in picture quality the 32C120U competes well against our current favorite 32-incher, the Samsung UN32EH4000. The Toshiba's main weakness, color accuracy, is easier to overlook when weighed against its advantages, including black-level and bright-room performance. It's not nearly as stylish as the fetching, thin-bezeled Samsung, but for this cheap at this size, how much do you really care?

Koreans unhappy with Ji condition
Sunderland striker Ji Dong-won has come under attack in South Korea for his "poor" physical condition.
Ji, who moved to Wearside in the summer, was hauled off at half-time in his country's 2-0 weekend win over the United Arab Emirates.
The 20-year-old played 85 minutes against Manchester United earlier this month with no apparent problems but national head coach Cho Kwang-Rae has criticised his fitness levels.
"Ji's condition was really bad," said Cho.
"He was not good in training so I considered not to play him and he was worse in the match than I thought. So I had to replace him at half-time.
"His balance is off and his shooting timing is slow. I think he's physically really poor now."

If you're considering tattoo removal, consult your dermatologist. He or she can explain the options for tattoo removal and help you choose the method that's most likely to be effective for your tattoo. For example, some tattoo inks are more responsive to laser treatment than are others. Likewise, some small tattoos might be good candidates for surgical removal, while others are simply too large to remove with a scalpel.

Beyond Google Reader: CommaFeed
Now that Google Reader is officially gone, most folks have settled on a replacement of some sort. In fact, a few months ago I even went through the process of installing Tiny Tiny RSS as a viable and powerful replacement. At the time, there was only one feature I sorely missed, the "next unread blog" link. Approximately three days before Google Reader shut down for good, I found the holy grail of RSS readers: CommaFeed.
CommaFeed is an open-source project written in Java. It's offered as a free Web-based solution at https://www.commafeed.com. Although the interface is similar to Google Reader, it feels slightly stripped down. Thankfully, it provides a bookmarkable link that will take you to your next unread RSS entry. That feature is the single most important, and difficult to find, RSS reader feature I need.
CommaFeed unfortunately doesn't have a really good mobile interface, and it's lacking features in its Android app, but improvements are being made on both fronts. I must admit, however, that even more important than the "next unread blog" link feature, is the ability to download the https://github.com/Athou/commafeedsource code from GitHub and compile CommaFeed for self-hosting. I don't ever want to get "Google Reader'ed" again. Hosting is complicated, because it's a Java application, but the instructions on the GitHub site make it fairly painless. I recommend trying out https://www.commafeed.com before compiling and self-hosting, because CommaFeed's interface might not be for everyone.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

An eccentric period melodrama with horror-flick overtones. Occasionally incoherent but never dull, the movie brims with weird imagery. Read full review
Dominik Moll downplays the overtly scandalous nature of the story, at least for a while, with a leisurely pace heavy on imagery. He's made a beautiful-looking film that portends disaster. And disaster arrives, eventually. It just takes its time getting there. Read full review
The finale, in which godly rites are juxtaposed against the vilest of sins, builds to an unholy power. Read full review
It is not a story of great depth or passion, but there are intriguing and unsettling moments on its well-crafted surface. Read full review
Director Dominik Moll makes some odd style choices – like Looney Tunes-style 'iris wipes' – and it's a while before Cassel fully embraces his dark side, yet his customary charisma is what seals The Monk's redemption. Read full review
The sense of old-school piety as lust under inhuman pressure is juicy and polished, if a little earnest about spiritual conflict and too entranced with its LOTR-ish medieval trappings. In fact, as monksploitation goes, Dominik Moll's film is sober and straight when it should be crazy and hot-blooded. Read full review
An austere, cerebral reading of a book which is unfettered, blood-bolstered and wildly sensationalist — Lewis is the father of torture porn, not a master of subtle chills. It's interesting and unsettling, with a charismatic lead performance, but nowhere near as shocking as it should be. Read full review
Moll's restraint gives way to a tastefully overwrought checklist of Gothic imagery. In the cloistered shadows and the harsh Castilian sun, the visuals are handsome, even as the movie threatens to tip into parody. Read full review
Ultimately the movie disappoints, falling between two stools and failing to convince either as spectacle or as a fable about religious obsession. Read full review
Dominik Moll never addresses Matthew Gregory Lewis's original groundbreaking ideas in the film, nor does he rework the material for a contemporary audience. Read full review

Cancer Research Making a Difference
For detailed information: Timeline: 150 Years of Advances Against Cancer
Highlights of Progress in Cancer Research
From improved survival rates to drugs that target molecular changes caused by cancer, learn about some of the major advances in cancer research and treatment since the National Cancer Act of 1971.
- More people are surviving after cancer and fewer people are getting cancer.
Since 1975 the 5-year survival rate of those diagnosed with cancer has increased to 66%. Since the start of this century the percentage of people diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. has decreased. Read more...
- A large majority of children with cancer survive.
Prior to 1975, fewer than one in two children diagnosed with cancer survived five years. Today, more than 80 percent of children diagnosed with cancer survive at least five years. Read more...
- Today's treatments have increased survival rates in many types of cancer.
For example, in 1975, men with testicular cancer that had spread to other parts of the body had a 5 percent chance of surviving for one year. Today, these men have more than an 80 percent chance of surviving more than five years due to treatments with combination chemotherapies.- Cancer survival table: 1975 through 2007
- See more survival statistics
- Cancer Trends Progress Report: Survival Chapter
- Drugs that target specific molecular changes involved in cancer are now common.
By focusing on molecular and cellular changes specific to a disease, targeted cancer therapies may be more effective than other traditional types of treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation. Targeted therapies are also typically less harmful to normal cells. In the past there were no specifically molecularly targeted treatments for cancer. To date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved almost 30 of these molecularly targeted agents for cancer. Read more...
- Vaccines can help prevent some cancers.
In the last several years vaccines have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and used widely by the American public to prevent infection of viruses that can cause cancer. For example, the hepatitis B vaccine can help prevent liver cancer, and the human papillomavirus vaccine can help prevent cervical cancer. Read more...

Bohužiaľ, nezasielame do tejto destinácie.
prehľad štátov kam zasielameThe Nerve XC 9.0 was up against 16 other trail bikes from the world's best known brands. Better designed, better build, better equipped, lighter and better value than any of the other test bikes it was a faultless performance from the Nerve.
But don't take our word for it, here's what the magazine testers said…
New to the UK direct sell German brand Canyon is setting a new performance for price benchmark with its outstandingly well-specced, sweetly designed and permanently enthusiastic Nerve XC all-rounder.
Despite having ridden it so hard, for so long to be sure it was truly the best bike here, it's still running super-smooth thanks to the high quality bearings, anodised paint finish and internal cable runs.
Summary: Despite the fact you're essentially getting the frame for free, it's the overallride quality and performance of the Nerve XC that makes it our clear winner. We mean overall to as it handled whatever we threw at it on the trails with confidence, utter competence and real enthusiasm.
Buy if: You want a top trail all-rounder at a price to make your mates sick

GABAergic synapse - Homo sapiens (human) + Disease/drug
Pathway menu
Show description
Disease/drug list
User data mapping
Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). When released in the synaptic cleft, GABA binds to three major classes of receptors: GABAA, GABAB, and GABAC receptors. GABAA and GABAC receptors are ionotropic and mediate fast GABA responses by triggering chloride channel openings, while GABAB receptors are metabotropic and mediate slower GABA responses by activating G-proteins and influencing second messenger systems. GABAA receptors, the major sites for fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the CNS, are regulated by phosphorylation mechanisms, affecting both their functional properties and their cell surface mobility and trafficking. GABA release by the presynaptic terminal is negatively regulated by GABAB autoreceptors, and is cleared from the extracellular space by GABA transporters (GATs) located either on the presynaptic terminal or neighboring glial cells.

Blame is not productive
TO THE EDITOR: It seems we have again descended into the "blame game" as austerity and revenue meet expenditures and long-term staffing aspirations; in this case, at CCC.
Having taught at more than five colleges and universities, on both coasts, at both the graduate and undergraduate level, I've acquired a bit of perspective on staffing, funding crises and also, alas, of the "blame game."
Experience has taught me that this is mostly unproductive and largely denial in nature. No one person, or even group, makes a crisis.
The projected cuts at CCC will strike deeply into the heart of a number of programs. My own successor, a highly regarded, multi-discipline talented colleague and former student at both CCC and PSUC, is among those being cut.
It isn't about his course load or student registration but more about some perhaps misguided budget priorities. Apart from his own strong teaching qualities, his family includes a prospective Winter Olympic's contender, perhaps two.
In my 14 years at CCC, there were seven college presidents, one of whom has been twice promoted since leaving and four of whom retired, if one counts interims. Several became controversial. Compared with other colleges this isn't quite unique.
Clinton is a good learning environment, with a largely dedicated faculty (and administration, and trustees). It is an asset to the community and the SUNY system.
However, its resource issues won't be solved by administrative changes, nor by dropping a few low-enrolled tech programs, nor by laying off the "seed corn" faculty.
Retirements among senior faculty will cut some costs; realignment of programs could save others. Blaming "the Second Floor," or the Faculty Association, etc. is counterproductive.
One hopes management and staff participate in this challenging process and time will embrace that total reality.

Red Hat event
To THE EDITOR: The Altona Chapter of the Red Hat Society is once again hosting a Red Hat Banquet on April 25 at the Rainbow Wedding and Banquet Hall in Altona.
I have been unable to reach all the chapters in our area due to a lack of current e-mail addresses or phone numbers. We would like to invite all chapters (registered or unregistered with the Red Hat Society national organization) to attend our banquet.
If you are not a member but would like to find out about the organization and where a group may be near your home, please also consider yourself invited.
You may get in touch with me at my e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) or phone me at 236-7289, and I will send you full details of time, menu, price, etc.
We are also welcoming anyone who would like to add to the night's entertainment with any type of skit, song, poem, etc.
Please come and join the fun.

The case was brought by a bottler and distributor of Pepsi-Cola products in Washington state challenging the NLRB after the Board affirmed a decision that the distributor violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) [text]. In addition, two business advocacy groups filed motions contesting the constitutionality of the president's recess appointments [JURIST reports] in January 2012. The motions were filed in relation to the groups' ongoing suit challenging the NLRB mandate that rights to unionize [JURIST report] be posted in all workplaces. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] defended the use of recess appointments [CRS backgrounder, PDF] by Obama immediately after his announcement. The DOJ's memo argues that although the Senate met between January 3 and 23, the sessions were not sufficient to constitute an interruption of a recess under the Recess Appointment Clause because they were only pro forma sessions that lasted less than a minute and there was no intent to conduct any business. Some experts argue that recess appointments have regularly been used by presidents [JURIST op-ed] since George Washington. It is only a relatively recent practice that obstructionists have begun holding perfunctory pro forma sessions every three days while the Senate is on recess in order to block recess appointments.
The distinction made by the law is rationally connected to the state objective: the Quebec approach only imposes state-mandated obligations on spouses who have made a conscious and active choice to accept those obligations. The law falls within a range of reasonable alternatives for maximizing choice and autonomy in the matter of family assets and support. While schemes adopted in other Canadian provinces impair the equality right of de facto spouses to a lesser degree, such approaches would be less effective in promoting Quebec's goals of maximizing choice and autonomy for couples in Quebec ... Without this distinction, the clear choice between a regime of division of property and support on the one hand, and a regime of full autonomy on the other hand, would be absent. The Quebec approach only imposes state-mandated obligations on spouses who have made a conscious and active choice to accept those obligations. The requirement of an active choice to undertake obligations is consistent with the objective of enhancing autonomy
The appeal stems from a Court of Appeals decision that held Quebec's Civil Code provisions were unconstitutional [Toronto Star report] because they had discriminatory effect on common law couples. The appeals court thereby reversed the decision of Quebec Superior Court that held that the mother had failed to demonstrate the discriminatory effect caused by the Civil Code provisions. Canada and other countries around the world are currently reviewing the controversy of marriage equalityparticularly same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive]. Last January Canadian Justice Minister Rob Nicholson [official profile] indicated that the Canadian government considers all same-sex marriages performed in Canada to be legal [JURIST report] and that the Civil Marriage Act [text] will be altered to reflect the government's position. The announcement came amid a growing controversy over a previous declaration [JURIST report] that non-resident same-sex marriages performed in Canada are not legal unless recognized by the participants' home countries. As it is with common law couples, Canada's provinces have interpreted rights of same-sex couples in different ways. In October 2011 a judge for the Queen's Court Bench of Alberta [official website] granted custody [JURIST report] of a child to a non-biological father who was an ex-partner of the biological father. In January of that year, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeals [official website] ruled [JURIST report] that refusal by provincial marriage commissioners to marry same-sex couples is unconstitutional and thereby invalidated a proposed amendment to Saskatchewan's Marriage Act of 1995 that would have allowed the commissioners to refuse to marry same-sex couples based on their religious beliefs.
The case of United States v. Windsor concerns Edith Windsor [ACLU backgrounder], a widow who had a legal same-sex marriage under Canadian and New York law but was denied spousal deduction for federal estate taxes when her wife died. Prior to her challenge, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it would no longer defend DOMA in courts, and in response, the US House of Representatives formed [JURIST reports] the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) to defend the law. In July 132 members of the US House of Representatives [official website] filed an amicus brief [JURIST report] arguing that statutory classifications based on sexual orientation should be subject to heightened judicial scrutiny and that DOMA should be overturned as unconstitutional under any level of judicial scrutiny. The brief was filed in the appeal of Karen Golinski v. Office of Personnel Management, the landmark case in which the US District Court for the Northern District of California [official website] ruled that DOMA is unconstitutional [JURIST report]. In June 10 US senators filed their own amicus brief in the case, arguing in the opposite [JURIST report] that the federal government had a legitimate interest in creating a uniform federal definition of marriage to "[avoid] massive legal uncertainty."
Same-sex marriage [JURIST backgrounder] and correlated rights remain a controversial issue around the world. In November, the Polish Supreme Court declared for the first time [JURIST report] that same-sex partners living together could retain the same legal standing as heterosexual couples in regard to taking over a lease if their romantic partner with whom they were cohabiting should die. In August Germany's Justice Ministry introduced legislation [JURIST report] that would grant several additional marriage rights to couples in same-sex civil unions. Also in August the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ruled [JURIST report] that homosexual couples in a civil union should receive the same tax benefits as heterosexual married couples. In June Denmark's Parliament voted to approve a bill [JURIST report] that legalized same-sex marriages in the country's state Lutheran church ceremonies when before couples were required to conduct ceremonies at the end of services.
This report and its far-reaching recommendations are not only a tribute to the brave young woman who was raped and murdered five weeks ago, but to all victims of sexual violence and assault in India. It is also a testament to the power of the young women and men of India, and the broader civil society, who have joined hands across the nation to say "Enough is Enough." ... The Committee's recommendations are grounded in a framework of rights, equality and non-discrimination, and represent a paradigm shift towards recognition of women as holders of rights, not just objects of protection. The report should serve as a beacon for many other countries struggling to respect the rights of women more comprehensively by addressing sexual violence through legislation, policies and programmes.
The student's death sparked mass protests in India and led to the creation of the committee that issued its findings [JURIST report] earlier this week. In December Indian authorities charged six suspects [JURIST report] with murder after the death of the gang rape victim. In December Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [official profile] called for peace [JURIST report] after a protest over sexual violence resulted in a clash between protesters and police.
This decision follows a more recent trend in Germany of judicial deference to consumer protection and public need. A pair of 2008 decisions by Germany's Federal Constitutional Court [official website] prevented a series of laws from going into effect that would have allowed intelligence agents and government officials to search personal computers, networks and Internet communications as well as telephone data [JURIST reports] for national security purposes. The same court reaffirmed its defense of individual liberties in 2010 when it overturned a law [JURIST report] requiring telecommunications providers to store information on telephone calls, e-mails and Internet use for six months in the event of possible terrorism investigations, citing privacy issues as the main cause for concern.
Ashraf's brief term as Prime Minister has been fraught with conflict and tension between the executive and the judiciary. Ashraf's predecessor, Yousuf Raza Gilani, was forced out as prime minister last June after the Supreme Court convicted him of contempt [JURIST report] for failing to pursue a corruption case against the president. In July, only a month after Ashraf became prime minister, the Supreme Court ordered him to reopen the investigation [JURIST report] against President Asif Ali Zardari [official website] within three weeks. The National Assembly of Pakistan [official website] approved a bill [JURIST report] to shield senior officials from contempt of court proceedings, which was widely seen as an attempt to exempt Ashraf from possible claims of contempt for failing to follow the order. When Ashraf did not do as the court requested, the Supreme Court granted him [JURIST report] another two weeks to comply with its order. When in early August Ashraf still did not reopen the investigation, the court ordered [JURIST report] him to appear and explain his refusal to comply with the July orders. After his appearance in court, the Supreme Court then granted Ashraf an additional three weeks [JURIST report] to reopen the corruption case. Finally, in mid-September, Ashraf agreed to allow the corruption case to be reopened [JURIST report].
In September the Supreme Court of Russia [official website, in Russian] upheld [JURIST report] the Arkhangelsk region's ban on "gay propaganda" but ruled that gay pride parades and other demonstrations in support of gay rights are legal. In August LGBT activists brought suit over the Russian Justice Ministry's refusal to register Pride House [JURIST report] for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. Also that month Russia's best-known gay rights activist Nikolay Alexeyev lost a court challenge [JURIST report] to Moscow's 100-year municipal ban on gay pride marches. He intends to appeal the decision to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which has already ordered Russia to pay Alexeyev [JURIST report] an award of €12,000 for non-pecuniary damages plus €17,510 for costs and attorneys fees (USD $41,090 total) for rejecting his license application for a gay pride gathering. In March St. Petersburg announced that the city's governor had signed into law a bill that would impose fines against people convicted of promoting homosexuality, including gays or lesbians who are open about their sexuality. Individuals convicted under the law would be subject to fines between 3,000 and 5,000 rubles (USD $100-160) [Moscow Times report], while organizations could be fined up to 50,000 rubles for "promoting" homosexuality.
Same-sex marriage [JURIST backgrounder] has been a controversial issue around the world. On Tuesday the US Supreme Court [official website] received briefs [JURIST report] in two separate cases defending the constitutionality of laws that define marriage as strictly between one man and one woman. Last month JURIST guest columnist Paul Johnson opined that the effect of an ongoing human rights debate in the British Isles and the European Court of Human Rights may have a detrimental effect on the same-sex marriage debate [JURIST op-ed] in the UK. In the same time frame, the Coalition for the Protection of Marriage, a non-profit corporation in Nevada which opposes same-sex marriage, petitioned the US Supreme Court [JURIST report] to grant certiorari to determine whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause requires Nevada to change its definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman to the union of two persons. In November the office of the Maryland Attorney General released an opinion [JURIST report] stating that same-sex couples can obtain marriage licenses, allowing Maryland to become the ninth US state to allow same sex marriage after Maine and Washington [JURIST reports] enacted similar measures in November.
Last month the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website] convicted [JURIST report] former Rwandan minister Augustin Ngirabatware [case materials], sentencing him to 35 years in prison and concluding the tribunal's final trial. Ngirabatware was found guilty on charges of genocide, incitement to commit genocide and rape as a crime against humanity. Also in December, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution [JURIST report] to extend the term of office of five judges of the ICTR. Since its founding in 1994 following the Rwandan genocide, the ICTR has indicted 91 individuals and, thus far, finished 50 trials with 29 convictions.
Same-sex marriage is currently legal in nine states, as well as the District of Columbia. Earlier this week the US Supreme Court received briefs [JURIST report] in two separate cases defending the constitutionality of laws that define marriage as strictly between one man and one woman. The first case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, examines the validity of Proposition 8 [JURIST news archive], a California referendum that revoked same-sex marriage rights. In the second case, United States v. Windsor, the court will examine the constitutionality of Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) [text; JURIST news archive]. The court granted certiorari [JURIST report] in the two cases last month. Both cases could have an important impact on the ongoing same-sex marriage controversy in the US.
In July the UNCC announced a disbursement of $1.3 billion [JURIST report] to six claimants, including corporations, public enterprises, governments, and international organizations. In June 2005, the UNCC processed its final claim, bringing the total award payments to $53.5 billion. One month prior, Iraq's deputy UN Ambassador Feisal al- Istrabadi claimed [JURIST report] corruption and gross mismanagement of the UN Oil-for-Food program. Former US Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker [JURIST news archive] led an investigation by the Independent Inquiry Committee [official website] into questionable expenditures by the UNCC to determine whether Iraq should be compensated for overcharges by UN agencies.
Somalia's new government is saying the right things about the rule of law and a free press, but locking up journalists and others who report rape sends the opposite message. The authorities should release the four detainees, and ensure that the police investigate sexual violence effectively.
After decades of violence and rights abuses under the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) [CFR backgrounder], Somalia is taking key steps to move towards peace. Last August the UN welcomed the signing of Somalia's National Security and Stabilization Plan [JURIST report]. Also in August the Somalia constituent assembly approved a draft of the new constitution [JURIST report] with over 96 percent of the 645 ballots cast in the special 825-member assembly after eight days of debate. The new constitution also has to be ratified by a national referendum. Last June then-president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed [BBC profile] and the TFG signed a decree [JURIST report] establishing the legal framework by adopting a new constitution convened by the National Constituent Assembly (NCA). During the same month UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official profile] told officials at the Istanbul II Conference on Somalia [materials] that Somalia must take all efforts to smoothly transition [JURIST report] into a permanent government with a new constitution.

Two people are charged with endangering after police said a neighbor saw them leave five children in their home unattended.
Juan Nicolas-Sanchez and Lorena Rodriguez-Moreno, of 134 Kennedy Drive Lot 32, were witnessed getting into their silver van and leaving the children, the oldest of whom was 6 years old at the time, according to the affidavit.
The incident occurred in May 2012, according to the affidavit. The responding deputy reported the two oldest children were outside of the home riding bicycles, and the other children were inside. When they attempted to enter, the door was locked. The parents pulled up while the attempt to enter occurred.
Sanchez told police he was going to cash his paycheck and that he had left the children alone before.
Children's Services was contacted and the children were placed in the custody of Sanchez's sister, who lives in Springfield.
Sanchez is currently in jail after he failed to appear in court.

Iraqis vent rage on call-in TV after bombs kill 43
Iraqis vent rage on call-in TV after bombs kill 43
By Michael Georgy Wed Aug 17,11:06 AM ET BAGHDAD (Reuters) - State television flashed grisly images of the latest bombing victims as the anchor told viewers their squabbling leaders would stabilize the country, in words that could only be termed reassuring in Iraq's chaos. "It is a dialogue. They did not pull out guns and shoot each other," said the anchor on Iraqiya television, referring to Iraqi politicians struggling to draft a constitution. Hours before they resumed negotiations, three car bombs killed at least 43 people and wounded 76 in an attack on a Baghdad bus station in morning rush hour, stepping up pressure on politicians to deliver on promises of security. Al-Iraqiya quickly broadcast a call-in show, inviting Iraqis to respond to "the ugly terrorist crime" while broadcasting images of the latest carnage in Baghdad's version of U.S. and British breakfast television. "This is a difficult test. We have to ask who they are (the bombers) and what they want," said government spokesman Laith Kubba, one of the callers. But Iraqis are in no mood for questions. They want decisive action from a government paralyzed by sectarian and ethnic divisions holding up efforts to draft a constitution. "These men that kill 100, 50 and 70 men a day -- have they been put to death," said a caller named Abu Abbas. "How many have been put to death? How many? The National Assembly is supposed to represent the Iraqi people. All I hear is we will do this and we will do that." Frustrated Iraqis were bombarded with footage of bloodied bodies and policemen standing in emergency rooms that have treated hundreds of bombing victims. "When will Iraqi blood stop being spilled?" asked Om Hassan. SECURITY FORCES Between calls and comments, al-Iraqiya showed footage of Iraq's new army and security forces crawling under barbed wire and practicing martial arts. Such images have done little to ease anxiety in a country where guerrilla bombings have killed thousands of security forces and civilians. The show's anchor interrupted the program for a breaking news announcement that four men suspected of involvement in the bus station bombing had been captured. "I call on the government to try these men on television," said a caller. Some Iraqis in the capital say they are taking the law into their own hands in a city plagued by criminal gangs. In the Sadr City area of Baghdad, militiamen pulled a man from the trunk of a car and shot him and two women, saying they were running a prostitution ring, witnesses said on Wednesday. Angry callers yelled while Iraqi officials sat at the negotiating table again after failing to meet an August 15 deadline to draft a constitution. The anchor urged the officials to finish writing the document after telling Iraqis that Saddam Hussein's police state would never return, words that failed to soothe another caller. [I]"Instead of Saddam we now have thousands of Saddams," he fumed. [/I] |
Re: Iraqis vent rage on call-in TV after bombs kill 43
It's looking more and more like removing Saddam was like taking the lid off of a jar of angry hornets. And with nothing planned to control the hornets, chaos ensued.
Three Car Bombs Kill Up to 43 in Iraq
Three Car Bombs Kill Up to 43 in Iraq By BASSEM MROUE, Associated Press Writer
25 minutes ago BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three car bombs exploded Wednesday near a crowded bus station and a nearby hospital where survivors were being taken, killing up to 43 people in the deadliest suicide attack in Baghdad in weeks. Rescuers used bolt cutters to free some victims hurled into barbed wire fences by the blast. The attacks may have been timed to coincide with talks on Iraq's constitution, which resumed Wednesday after leaders failed to meet a deadline two days ago. Iraq's main Sunni Arab party denounced the deliberations, raising doubts the document can win Sunni support and lure disaffected Sunni Arabs from the insurgency. Police said the first bomb blew up at the Nadha bus terminal, the city's largest, shortly before 8 a.m. as swarms of travelers were boarding buses. As Iraqi police rushed to the scene, a suicide driver detonated his vehicle in the station's parking lot. Another suicide bomber blew up his car a half hour later across the street from nearby Kindi Hospital, to which ambulances were transporting the injured. Police Capt. Nabil Abdul-Qader said 43 people were killed and 85 were wounded in the attacks. The U.S. military put the casualty toll at 38 dead and 68 injured. Terrified survivors many weeping and screaming scrambled about the smoking, charred hulks of buses and cars looking for signs of relatives. Several weeping men hugged inside the open-air terminal. One man searched through the charred buses for signs of his brother and cousin. Several of the dead near Kindi Hospital were hurled into barbed wire security fences, and rescuers had to use bolt cutters to free the bodies. "We want our voices to be heard by the president of the republic and every official to tackle such violence," shouted one dazed security guard who would refused to give his name. "All those who were killed are innocent people. There were no American nor Iraqi troops on the scene." Four suspects were detained at the bus station on suspicion of involvement in the bombings, the Transportation Ministry said. The attacks Wednesday were the deadliest series of single-day suicide bombings in Baghdad since mid-July, although suicide attacks with far lower death tolls occur here near daily. Twenty-five people died in a suicide blast July 10 at an army recruiting center in Baghdad. On July 13 a car bomb in Baghdad killed 27 people, including 18 youths and one American soldier. The latest attacks occurred shortly before the leaders of Iraq's political factions met to try to finish the constitution by the new deadline next Monday. If no agreement can be reached this time, the interim constitution requires that the parliament be dissolved and that a new transitional assembly and government be elected in December. Some Shiite officials spoke of progress in the Wednesday talks. However, the largest Sunni group, the Iraqi Islamic Party, issued a blistering attack on the drafting committee, accusing it of bias and incompetence. The party, which has members on the committee, said major differences remain on the same issues that blocked a deal last week. They included federalism, the role of the Shiite clergy and the distribution of Iraq's vast oil wealth. The Sunni party also insisted that the new constitution affirm the country's Arab and Islamic identity and demanded that Islam be declared a main source in legislation a measure opposed by Kurds and women's activists. "The battle of the constitution is not over yet," the Sunni party said. "Our people should be awake and cautious and the popular will should arise to put pressure for a free Iraqi national draft constitution that preserves the sovereignty and unity of its people." That raises serious questions whether the new constitution, if it can be completed in time, will achieve a major U.S. objective of luring disaffected Sunni Arabs away from the Sunni-dominated insurgency. Once the draft is approved by parliament, it will be submitted to the voters in a referendum Oct. 15. If two-thirds of the voters in three of the 18 provinces reject the constitution, it will be defeated. Sunnis form the majority in at least four provinces. Failure to finish the constitution by the original deadline last Monday was an embarrassment for the Bush administration, which insisted that the timetable be followed to maintain political momentum and blunt Iraq's deadly insurgency. But Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dismissed reports that the administration has lowered its expectations about what can be achieved in Iraq. "I don't think expectations have been lowered," Myers said in Baghdad during an interview on NBC's "Today" show, with U.S. troops standing behind him. "Our plans are on track." In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said he had been informed by the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that drafters of a constitution "did make some progress" on Wednesday but that "the issues have not been all completely settled." Despite U.S. hopes for the constitution, none of the previous milestones the December 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein, the June 2004 transfer of sovereignty and the Jan. 30 election has managed to curb the insurgency. On Wednesday, the U.S. military said two more American soldiers were killed this week. One died Tuesday when a roadside bomb exploded near his patrol in southwest Baghdad and another on Monday in an insurgent attack in northern Iraq. Elsewhere, six new Iraqi soldier recruits heading to a training camp in Kirkuk were killed after gunmen stopped their minibus, Iraqi Army Brig. Gen. Anwar Mohammed Amin said. Three people, including two children, were killed Wednesday when a car bomb exploded in Fallujah, hospital officials said. The U.S. military said it is investigating a clash Tuesday in Baghdad during which an undetermined number of Iraqi civilians were injured after insurgents opened fire on a U.S. patrol and U.S. helicopter fired back. Iraqi police said one civilian was killed and 23 wounded. |

Mission Accomplished?
Re: Iraqis vent rage on call-in TV after bombs kill 43
Did the planners not know that a power vacuum was going to result from the overthrow of a long standing government? This is not getting any better..what's the plan now? |
Re: Iraqis vent rage on call-in TV after bombs kill 43
That being said, one thing I DO believe to be true about this war, whatever Bush's motives were for getting into it, is that the Administration truly did delude themselves into thinking that picking up the pieces after we deposed of Saddam would be a piece of cake. And therein lies the problem of sorrounding yourself with a group of "yes-men"...Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, etc. I don't believe this administration planned--at all--for the aftermath we have seen, and the results prove it. The numerous comments made by officials about being welcomed as liberators with open arms and whatnot, it speaks either of considerable arrogance or a woeful lack of understanding and planning. Regardless, either are inexcusable coming from an administration that has started a war that has costs tens of thousands of lives. The American public may be finally starting to catch on, if the recent poll numbers about the confidence people have in Bush's handling of the war and his presidency in general are any indication. |
