SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Some South Charleston businesses are incorrectly applying a 0.5 percent sales tax to purchases, Mayor Frank Mullens said during a City Council meeting Thursday.
Mullens believes the problem originated with the U.S. Postal Service.
What began as an identity issue -- with incoming mail listing South Charleston residents as living in Charleston -- has "been taken to a different level" since Charleston's new sales tax increase went into effect, Mullens said.
Charleston's tax increase went into effect Oct. 1.
"The mom and pop, local businesses aren't charging the tax that I know of," he said. "It's the national corporation headquarters that see Charleston listed on the business address that are charging the Charleston tax."
Residents are passionate about this tax going to Charleston, said City Treasurer Hanna Pettitt.
"They tell me that the city of Charleston doesn't clean their streets or patrol their neighborhoods, and they don't want them to get the tax," she said.
It was reported that Lowe's and Dollar Tree in South Charleston had corrected the problem, but, according to Mullens, Target is still charging the tax.
"We are diligently fighting this problem," Mullens said.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., are "working on the issue" and are scheduled to discuss it again on Monday, Mullens said.
He also reported that West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and acting state Tax Commissioner Mark W. Matkovich are also involved.
"People who have been incorrectly charged a sales tax are due a refund," Mullens said. "It's just pennies on a single purchase, but it adds up."
Currently there is no plan in place to get refunds to consumers.
In a related issue, all customers of West Virginia American Water Company are routinely charged a tax. Mullens is investigating where that fee goes when South Charleston residents are erroneously listed as living in Charleston.
A representative of the water company is meeting with city officials tomorrow.

Technology has revolutionised the day-to-day lives of individuals and organisations alike. But if we're to continue to benefit and to profit from it, and if we're to minimise the potential downsides, we're going to have make some choices.
Corporate reporting in its widest sense has an important role to play in restoring trust. There is a groundswell of opinion that things aren't quite right. But it's not enough to acknowledge it. I believe that it's time for change.

New reporting standards and regulation have driven a more precise assessment of results, backed by much more detailed disclosure. This has been matched by the needs of boards and management for more timely, accurate and detailed information on the balance sheet and revenue position actual and projected, to support decision making. The need for this information is crucial in a market where capital has become increasingly scarce and the understanding of some of the business risks is clearer. See the changing financial management landscape section for more details on these drivers for change.
In Europe, Solvency II is the logical next step in these developments. Solvency II also sets specific standards for the quality of reporting, for example, the requirements for data quality and the need for model validation, raising the bar even further. All of this provides a significant challenge to the best run finance functions.
A lack of investment in the finance function can cause further challenges to this transformation process. There are a number of factors that have been part of the problem and need to be part of any solution:
Faced with the challenge of Solvency II – and with further changes expected under IFRS – many insurers have acknowledged these issues for the first time over the past two years, and have identified a need for fundamental change – as opposed to incremental adjustment.
This has led to the initiation of a number of Finance transformation programmes aimed at addressing these issues through the design and implementation of new operating models covering people, process and technology. These programmes are very large and complex, with significant risks to the integrity of reporting during the change process as well as to delivery. They require the integration of a range of professional skills, including accounting, actuarial, and technology, ways of working that ensure ruthless issues resolution, strong stakeholder management and a sustained focus on delivery of required business outcomes.
KPMG have helped a number of our clients to design, manage and successfully deliver finance change programmes of this nature. This website sets out our approach and introduces our leading insurance experts in the field.

SS Cape Florida
Vessel History
SS Cape Florida is a Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) barge carrier. The vessel, launched in 1971 at Avondale Shipyard in New Orleans, Louisiana , was originally named LASH Turkiye. Prudential Grace Line operated LASH Turkiye in commercial service until the company sold the ship to Delta Lines, which renamed it SS Delta Caribe.
Lighters are flat-bottomed barges. The LASH system refers to the practice of loading cargo onto barges, which are then floated to and from a mother ship. This allows loading and unloading of containerized cargo off-shore. LASH barge carriers are equipped with a stern crane that lifts lighters aboard the vessel, where they can be stacked and stowed on deck. LASH barges are smaller and lighter than their counterparts, SEABEE barges.
The Maritime Administration purchased Delta Caribe on May 8, 1986; the vessel was placed in the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) on February 17, 1987 and renamed SS Cape Florida.
The Navy activated Cape Florida during Operations DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM from October 18, 1990 until November 20, 1991. After being delayed by mechanical difficulties, the vessel sailed with cargo in early December 1990, first to Port Said, Egypt and then to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. In April 1991, Cape Florida departed Dammam for Newport, United Kingdom and also called in Bremerhaven, Germany. The vessel returned to Dammam in July 1991 before returning to the U.S. that fall to discharge its barges in Galveston, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana .
The Navy activated Cape Florida for the last time for Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, in which it operated from October 14, 2004 until January 7, 2005.
The Maritime Administration downgraded Cape Florida and removed it from the RRF on July 31, 2006. The vessel is currently classified as retention for emergency sealift purposes.

Manchester United's alarming decline from 2002/03 Premiership champions to potential also-rans in the fledgling 2004/05 season can be put down to the absence of a single player, or so we are led to believe.
Rio Ferdinand's eight-month suspension, imposed for missing a routine drugs test at United's Carrington training ground in September last year, was the stimulus for the Old Trafford club's capitulation.
And while this claim may fly in the face of the 'one player doesn't make a team' mantra, ...

The Open Door Automating Online Quoting
by Larry Lukis, founder, The Protomold Company
The conventional wisdom of product development is: "fast, cheap, good—choose any two." But with the growth of global competition, markets are punishing manufacturers for falling short on any of the three.
Larry Lukis founded The Protomold Company in 1998 and currently serves as chief technology officer. He holds several U.S. and foreign patents in the fields of handwriting recognition devices, laser printer resolution enhancement, ink-jet printers, and online quoting for injection molding.
Delivering products quickly, thoroughly tested and at a competitive price requires precise coordination of internal and external resources. Automated online quoting can speed and simplify communications between customers and vendors, but there's nothing simple about making the process work. Today, if you search the Web for "online quoting tools," many of the top listings will be for insurance services. The reason is simple. Insurance quoting is a simple actuarial process; you plug in the numbers and out comes a quote. In traditional online product quoting, the process isn't much different. The user selects from a menu of options and the quoting engine—essentially an online spreadsheet—spits out a quote. There's no denying that these are useful functions. But with the hardware and software capabilities available today, these tools represent only a fraction of what automated quoting could do. The real challenge begins when the input becomes "analog" rather than "digital." My field is plastic injection molding, so I'll use that as an example. A plastic part design submitted for a quote consists not of a limited number of definable options, but of infinitely variable shapes and measurements. An automated system has to analyze the design, decide whether it is moldable as presented, determine how to orient it for molding, and how to mill the mold. This kind of "thinking" moves far beyond the realm of mere computation toward that of artificial intelligence. Only then can the resulting output be combined with relatively simple input regarding finish, resin choice, quantity, and delivery time to produce a quote. Historically, online quoting in injection molding consisted of nothing more than Web-based submission of a part specification, which was then transmitted to one or more human estimators, who, in turn, responded with e-mailed quotes. As with other types of online quoting mentioned earlier, it was a time- and money-saver, but it could hardly be called "automated." Today, for the first time, we have all the necessary components for true automated quoting in complex fabrication processes. First, 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) programs allow customer design to be presented directly as data rather than napkin sketches or drafted drawings. Second, analytical and graphic software tools allow systems to manipulate a CAD design in 3-D space to determine the actual steps needed to fabricate it. And finally, hardware—processing power and storage capacity—is capable of managing enormous amounts of data in something approaching real-time and at reasonable cost. A fully functional automated online quoting system, one that fully utilizes the capabilities of existing hardware and software tools, should be able to: accept direct input of 3-D CAD designs in a variety of formats; analyze submitted designs and identify necessary or recommended changes based on best-practice design and fabrication principles; graphically present those recommended changes to the user online in clear, rotatable 3-D renderings; support enough processing power to allow simultaneous online interaction with multiple users; allow users to run "what-if" scenarios, altering materials, finishes, and other factors while viewing the resulting impact on delivery time and cost; and feed approved and accepted designs to automated production facilities with a minimum of human intervention. This kind of automation can improve the cost, quality and speed of production. To the extent that it eliminates or reduces the need for human estimators, it cuts vendor costs and lets customers comparison shop without delay. By allowing customers to interactively fine-tune specifications, it helps them allocate cash to get what they need at minimum expense. Automation can also impact quality. Automated design analysis helps eliminate oversights and design flaws. Direct linkage of customer designs to tool-path generation eliminates opportunities for human error. Speeding up prototype production allows more iteration, testing and design tuning in the course of product development. Reducing queue times helps speed products through development and production. This can be particularly significant in development, where each new prototype entails additional delay, first for a quote and then for production. Shortening or eliminating these queues helps speed products to market, which, as product lifecycles shrink, is becoming a critical competitive advantage. Finally, for those concerned that automation might eliminate valuable human contact between customers and vendors, the truth is quite the contrary. Automation in quoting is doing what automation has always done: offloading repetitive processes that can be better handled by machines. In the process, it frees live staff from the clerical process of quoting and enables them to focus on real, one-on-one customer service.

LOL!!! Very interesting topic.
Nothing is offensive if two people are adults and agree it's what they both want and it doesn't hurt anyone.
If you want a trophy wife then make it a point in your bio and don't get offended when the pretty girls ask about all your possessions. Nothing wrong with what makes you happy.
It's one thing to be treated like a dummy, and to have a man proud to have you on his arm and show you off.
turn it into sort of a foreplay and perhaps it may be fun (or also be a trophy guy to show off tonight lol), but aside from playtime it has no reason to be, we're persons not trophies :)
TROPHY wives eventually become ATROPHY wives.
all men want to think that their wives are their better half; all men want to think that their wives are trophy wives though not in a negative sense that only their appearance maetters.

2010 Referee Week in Review - Week 30
The usssoccer.com Referee Week in Review is designed to address the issues facing referees at all levels by using video highlights from professional games as well as the U.S. National Teams. Written by U.S. Soccer Director of Referee Development Paul Tamberino and U.S. Soccer Manager of Assessment and Training Brian Hall, the Referee Week in Review will highlight specific areas of focus and current U.S. Soccer initiatives designed to improve performance and aid in the development of officials across the country.
Oct. 28, 2010
© Howard C. Smith/U.S. Soccer
After 30 weeks of reviewing key decisions and providing important educational points for referees, coaches and administrators at all levels of the game, this version of the "Week In Review" marks the end of the 2010 MLS regular season. The regular season version will conclude with an analysis of two offside decisions that lead to goals. Additionally, a review of contact prior to a goal being scored will be examined to determine whether a foul has occurred or not.
Week In Review Podcast: For each "Week In Review," U.S. Soccer produces a related podcast that covers the topics of the week.
Foul or Not: Law 12 – Fouls and Misconduct
In past "Week In Reviews," the concept of fair, soft and/or normal contact between players has been addressed. A referee with a "feel" for a game based upon the skill level of the participants needs to differentiate between normal and acceptable contact and a foul. To define normal contact, a match official must understand the level of play, the skill set of the players and the overall temperature of the match. Within a match, as well as match-to-match, based upon the game's temperature and the direction of the game, judgment of normal contact will vary and referees must be able to read the game to apply the appropriate level of normal contact to a match.
Law 12 – Fouls and Misconduct, lists 10 offenses that should result in a direct free kick to the opposing team if the referee considers the offense to be careless, reckless or done using excessive force. One of the frequently called direct free kick offenses is pushing an opponent. The use of the hands and arms is a standard part of the game and they can be used to fairly shield the ball and to make fair or acceptable contact with an opponent as long as it is not careless, reckless or using excessive force.
Remember, "careless" indicates that the player has not exercised due caution in making a play. The contact was a miscalculation of strength or judgment by the player and the player has acted without precaution.
Referees must be able to evaluate player actions and judge whether the contact was a miscalculation of strength and consider whether the player's actions resulted in the fouling player or fouling player's team gaining an unfair advantage from the action/challenge.
This clip involves opposing player contact preceding the scoring of a goal. The referee must evaluate the contact to determine whether it is fair and a normal part of the game or whether the contact is careless requiring a foul be called.
In this case, the contact should be considered careless and result in a foul call. What actions should the referee consider when determining that a foul has occurred and the action is not normal player-to-player contact?
- The fact that the player extends his arms beyond his normal body space equates to "not exercising due caution" in making a play for the ball. This is not standard player-to-player contact. The fouling player has shown a lack of attention when making the challenge.
- The speed at which the fouling player approaches the opponent puts more force into any contact or push.
- The contact is from behind as the attacking player, with the ball, is shielding the ball in a fair manner as the ball is within playing distance.
- The defender has no opportunity to fairly win the ball with his feet given the location of the ball and the player legally shielding the ball.
Overall, acceptable game contact does not involve a push from behind in which the arms are extended and the body of the attacker (who is being pushed) is between the fouler and the ball. Consequently, a direct free kick should be awarded for pushing an opponent.
Positive Offside Decisions Leading to a Goal: Law 11 – Offside
Focus and concentration on the part of assistant referees (ARs) can lead to positive offside decisions and goals. Using the "benefit of doubt to the attack" philosophy and the "wait and see technique," ARs can promote attacking soccer and ensure accurate offside decisions.
The "wait and see technique" is a tool to improve decisions. Another tool available to ARs is the utilization of field markings to assist in determining player (attacking and defending) locations at the time the ball is played. Grass markings, field markings (painted lines) and other reference points surrounding the field can be tools to aid ARs in determining offside position.
Concentration, focus and attentiveness are vital components of getting offside decisions correct. ARs must always be ready for the next touch by an attacking player as it relates to offside as the next attacking touch provides the framework for player positioning (both attacking and defending). ARs must not assume that a ball will not be passed/touched. Even players that have a lot of space and/or time may one touch a ball forward. As a result, ARs cannot rest nor can they assume a pass or touch will not occur. An AR that rests will not be mentally prepared to take the snapshot or picture at the time the ball is played/touched.
With the game in the first minute of second half "additional time" and one goal the difference on the scoreboard, the AR is faced with a difficult offside decision caused by four factors:
- The last attacker to play/touch the ball one touches it forward even though he has time and space to maintain possession.
- Attackers and defenders are running in opposite directions. Some defenders are pushing up to attempt to put the forward running attacker in an offside position.
- There is a lot of distance or space between the attacker that receives the ball and the second-to-last defender.
- It is late in the game and the AR must resist fatigue and ensure that they are focused and are concentrating. Minds must be ready to make decisions for the entire 90 plus minutes of the match and cannot lapse or rest.
Watching the play live, the attacker who scores the goal appears offside. Why? Because the picture is not complete. The replay shows the second-to-last defender is near the AR placing the furthest most attacker a yard or so onside. Consequently, a fully focused AR is able, through focus and concentration, to ensure that none of the aforementioned four factors negatively impact the correct decision to give the benefit of doubt to the attack and allow play to continue. The use of the grass cutting can also help the AR with making an accurate decision.
Clip 3: Dallas at Los Angeles (21:10)Clip 3 represents another exceptional decision by the AR to keep the flag down and award a goal when faced with a close offside decision. This clip presents two decision-making points for the AR as there are two attackers with the opportunity to play the ball:
Are either of the furthest most attackers in an offside position?
By using the grass cuttings on the field and optimal positioning, the AR can determine that neither of the attackers are in an offside position at the time the ball is played by their teammate. Relative position is measured by the attacking player's torso, head and legs. No part of the attacking player other than the arms may be nearer the opponents' goal line than the torso, head or legs of the second-to-last defender. If there is any doubt in making this decision, the flag should be kept down thereby giving the benefit to the attack. -
Who plays the ball?
If the AR had decided that the furthest attacker was in an offside position, the AR must use the "wait and see technique" to determine which attacker actually plays the ball passed to them by their teammate in the wide channel. In this case, by holding the flag and refraining from making an immediate decision, the AR would be able to determine that the player who "interferes with play" and scores the goal is in an onside position.
Note: "Interfering with play" means that the offside positioned player actually plays or touches the ball last passed or touched by a teammate.
In this clip, the AR makes a good no-offside decision due to optimal positioning (directly in-line with the second-to-last defender and shoulder square to the field) and by giving any benefit of doubt to the attack.
Looking Forward – Week 31 (Playoff Week 1)
Concentration and focus for all match officials as the pressure and importance of each game and each minute increase. Officials must not rest during the 90-plus minutes of the game both mentally and physically. Utilization of eye contact and other forms of communication amongst the four officials will be key to keeping teammates on track and in tune with the temperature of the game.

Recipe by PixelAngelBaby
"Can't believe I made this all on my own. I was inspired by other fish chowder and stew recipes. It was so good it surprised me! My family went back for seconds. I wanted the soup to be chunky, so I made sure water didn't rise above the levels of the other ingredients. It was the perfect meal to break my fast with, and my family. (It's Ramadan! hehe) Ramadan Kareem! Peace be upon you."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined - thawed if frozen
1 pound grouper fillets, thawed if frozen
1 pound tilapia fillets, thawed if frozen
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups chopped onion
10 cloves garlic, diced
7 cups peeled, cubed potatoes
3 carrots, sliced
2 zucchinis, sliced
1 cup canned sweet corn kernels, drained
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 quarts water, or as needed to cover
2 cups skim milk
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut cream (not cream of coconut), or to taste
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour, or as needed (optional)
This is a very easy & tasty chowder. I used extra large shrimp & pollock for the white fish. Instead of adding water I substituted sodium reduced chicken broth. The chowder is so chunky you don't need to thicken it, if at all. Great job Maddie
I've been looking everywhere for a chowder that's unique while keeping close to the original...I'll be trying this tomorrow :) I've got shrimp, scallops, tilapia & crab legs...I can already taste it :) thanks for the great instructions also!

Our family did not like this recipe. I was so excited when I read the ingredients....what's not to like about bacon?? Alas, all we could taste was the crushed peppers, very watery (not what I would consider as a chowder).

In a culture where God's Word is constantly under attack from those both inside and outside of the church, we must always be ready to give a defense for the hope that is in us. This web series on Apologetics is designed to give you the tools required to defend the faith.
The Bible is an incredibly candid book when compared to the religious writings of other traditions. Rather than covering up the faults and flaws of its key figures, the Bible frequently shows us humanity in its deepest sin. A prime example of this is the transparent treatment of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba and his murder of Uriah (2 Samuel 11). These sinful actions had real consequences from which we can draw lessons, and David's repentance gives us a model to follow when we fall into sin. Likewise, the Bible records many instances of polygamy in the Old Testament, involving even some of the patriarchs of Israel.
Though our common usage of polygamy tends to be applied to a man with multiple wives, the word polygamy simply means multiple spouses. More accurately, polygyny would be one man with multiple wives, while polyandry would be one woman with multiple husbands. Bigamy is another word used for having two spouses. More recently, those who live in communities of open relationships have been called polyamorous, having multiple husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends in various arrangements. As we look at Scripture, none of these arrangements matches the structure of marriage given by God from the beginning.
The First Marriage
When God created the universe, He did things in a very specific manner. Those descriptions are provided for us in Genesis 1–2. At the end of His creative activity, God pronounced the things He had made as being "very good" (Genesis 1:31). In Genesis 2 we learn the details of the creation of mankind. After creating Adam from the dust of the ground, God presented the beasts of the field and the birds of the air to Adam to name. When Adam found no suitable helper, God formed the first woman from Adam's side.
And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (Genesis 2:18–25)
Let's look closely at this passage and note several key phrases that indicate God's intent for marriage to be monogamous—one man for one woman. First, God intended to make "a helper" for Adam, not several helpers. Second, from one rib God made one woman for Adam. Genesis 2:24 reveals the pattern of a man leaving his family to "be joined to his wife," not wives. This union is then described as becoming "one flesh."
Jesus confirmed this understanding of marriage when he was asked about divorce by the Pharisees. This is recorded in Mark 10:1–12 and Matthew 19:1–12. In His response Jesus quoted from Genesis 2, confirming that His understanding of marriage was one man for one woman. Confirming the covenantal nature of marriage, Jesus said that divorce was only allowed because of the hardness of the hearts of man. God intended, from the beginning, for marriages to consist of one man and one woman for the duration of their lives. Divorce and polygamy were regulated in the laws given to Moses, but polygamy was recorded long before then.
Polygamy and the Bible
The first reference to polygamy is found in Genesis 4 in the lineage of Cain. Of Lamech, a descendant of Cain, we read:
Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute. And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
Then Lamech said to his wives:
"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech!
For I have killed a man for wounding me,
Even a young man for hurting me.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold." (Genesis 4:19–25)
Before the Flood, we have a clear distortion of what God had intended for marriage. To compound Lamech's sin, he brags of his murderous deeds. The Flood was brought upon the earth to judge the sinfulness of mankind, including the sins committed by Lamech.
After the Flood, there are many mentions of polygamous relationships—including among the patriarchs of Israel. Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon all had multiple wives. It is interesting to note that there are no passages in Scripture that clearly state, "No man should have more than one wife." However, polygamous relationships are never mentioned in a positive light, and, indeed, the problems of such relationships are presented.
Consider the consequences revealed in Scripture in each of the following cases: Abraham—led to bitterness between Sarah and her maid, Hagar, and the eventual dismissal of Hagar and Ishmael; Jacob—led to Rachel's jealousy of Leah and to Joseph being betrayed and sold by his half-brothers; David—led to the rape of one of his daughters (Tamar) by one of his sons (Tamar's half-brother Amnon) and Amnon's subsequent murder by Tamar's brother Absalom; Solomon—his many wives "turned away his heart" from the Lord and to the worship of false gods (1 Kings 11:1–8). Just because the Bible records polygamous relationships does not mean that God approves of such things.
The only direct command against polygamy is given to the kings that were to rule Israel, as they are told not to "multiply wives" to themselves (Deuteronomy 17:17). It is also interesting to note that polygamous relationships seem to be regulated in the commands Moses gave to the nation of Israel. Leviticus 18:18 instructs that a man should not marry sisters, and Deuteronomy 21:15 talks of assigning an heir to a man with two wives. Many commentators suggest that the passages do not endorse polygamy but rather prohibit it. Deuteronomy 21:15 may also be translated as "has had two wives" in succession rather than at the same time. The sisters in Leviticus 18:18 are understood by some to be any Israelite women. Regardless of the interpretation of these passages, the taking of multiple wives is not in accord with God's design from the beginning.
Moving to the New Testament, there are several passages that can be understood to speak against polygamous relationships. The first to come to the mind of many would be the qualifications for leaders in the church given by the Apostle Paul to Timothy and Titus. In 1 Timothy 3:2 and 12 and Titus 1:6, we are told that leaders of the church must be the "husband of one wife."
In 1 Corinthians 7:1–16 Paul answered questions that the Corinthian church had about marriage. In this passage Paul used the singular form of wife and husband throughout the passage. In fact, this is true of the New Testament writers in general.
Scripture compares the relationship of husband and wife to that of Christ and the church. In Ephesians 5:25–33 Paul explained this relationship and referred back to Genesis 2:24. Once again, God's standard for marriage is defined as one man and one woman. Paul finished this analogy by stating, "let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband" (Ephesians 5:33).
Polygamy in Other Religions
Other religions have promoted polygamy. For example, according to Sura 4:3 of the Koran, Islamic men are allowed to take up to four wives under certain circumstances. Muhammad was granted the privilege of many wives in Sura 33 and had many wives. Modern Muslims practice polygamy in various ways according to their cultural context.
Historically, members of the Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormons) practiced polygamy, although the acceptance of the practice changed as new "revelation" was given to the prophets of the church. Initially, the Book of Mormon decried polygamy. Jacob 2:23–28 and 3:5–8 denounce the practice of polygamy as an abomination before God. Likewise, the Doctrine and Covenants (a supposed revelation given to Joseph Smith) state clearly that marriage should be one man for one woman (D&C 42:22). Later writings of Smith allow for unlimited plural marriage to virgins (D&C 132:51–66) and directly contradict what had been written earlier.1
Polygamy, more accurately polygyny, was practiced secretly by some Latter-day Saints from the 1830s until the 1850s, when the church admitted to the teaching after many previous denials. Eventually, they were pressured into denouncing polygamy after it was vigorously prosecuted by the federal government. From the 1870s on, many LDS leaders encouraged rebellion against the laws, but in 1890, LDS president Wilford Woodruff encouraged members to obey the laws.2 This caused a large split in the church, and new organizations were formed by those who continued the practice of polygamy and considered themselves as faithfully adhering to the commands of God over man's laws. Some secretly practiced polygamy while others abstained.3 What has become the mainline LDS Church currently denounces polygamy and claims that anyone who practices it is not a true Mormon.4 It is clear that, despite appeals to the patriarchs, the Bible was not the source of the Mormon doctrine of polygamy.
Despite these supposed additional revelations from God, the Bible makes it clear that He intends marriage to be between one man and one woman—as it was "from the beginning" (Matthew 19:8; Mark 10:6). Any challenge to this teaching stands in opposition to God's plan for His creation. This short chapter cannot exhaustively cover all of the issues related to polygamy, but we can look to the Bible as the standard for understanding the world we live in. As we face specific questions regarding plural marriage, let us prayerfully consider what God has revealed and apply the principles He has given us in Scripture.

- The direct contradictions within the "revelations" given to Joseph Smith are evidence confirming they did not come from God. Consider the following passages:
Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as touching the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and concubines. (Doctrine and Covenants 132:1)
But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes. For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son. Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord. (Book of Mormon, Jacob 2:23–24)
Notice that Isaac is described as having many wives when he had only one—Rebekah. This is further evidence that God was not speaking through Joseph Smith since God would not make a mistake, let alone on such a simple matter. Back - It is worth noting that, as the president of the church, Woodruff had the authority to change official church doctrines. He could have amended the Doctrine and Covenants, but he simply advised members not to continue the practice. He later stated it was a command of God, but if that were so, it needed no vote of ratification. With the current tide of the redefinition of marriage, polygamous marriages may be legal in the near future. Once that prohibition is removed, it will be interesting to see how the members of the LDS Church respond. A recent case in Canada concerning the legality of plural marriages is being watched by fundamentalist Mormons who still hold to polygamy as a part of their religious practice. According to the D&C, plural marriages are acceptable. Back

Chondroitin Fragments Are Odorants that Trigger Fear Behavior in Fish Current Biology, Volume 22, Issue 6, 20 March 2012, Pages 538-544 Ajay S. Mathuru, Caroline Kibat, Wei Fun Cheong, Guanghou Shui, Markus R. Wenk, Rainer W. Friedrich and Suresh Jesuthasan Summary The ability to detect and avoid predators is essential to survival. Various animals, from sea urchins to damselfly larvae, use injury of conspecifics to infer the presence of predators [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. In many fish [1, 8, 9,1, 8, 9,1, 8, 9], skin damage causes the release of chemicals that elicit escape and fear in members of the shoal. The chemical nature of the alarm substance ("Schreckstoff" in German) [1], the neural circuits mediating the complex response, and the evolutionary origins of a signal with little obvious benefit to the sender, are unresolved. To address these questions, we use biochemical fractionation to molecularly characterize Schreckstoff. Although hypoxanthine-3 N-oxide has been proposed to be the alarm substance [10, 11,10, 11], it has not been reliably detected in the skin [12] and there may be other active components [13, 14,13, 14]. We show that the alarm substance is a mixture that includes the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chondroitin. Purified chondroitins trigger fear responses. Like skin extract, chondroitins activate the mediodorsal posterior olfactory bulb, a region innervated by crypt neurons [15] that has a unique projection to the habenula [16]. These findings establish GAGs as a new class of odorants in fish, which trigger alarm behavior possibly via a specialized circuit. Summary | Full Text | PDF (912 kb) |
Decreased Elastin Deposition and High Proliferation of Fibroblasts from Costello Syndrome Are Related to Functional Deficiency in the 67-kD Elastin-Binding Protein The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 3, 1 March 2000, Pages 859-872 Aleksander Hinek, Adam C. Smith, Eva Maria Cutiongco, John W. Callahan, Karen W. Gripp and Rosanna Weksberg Abstract Costello syndrome is characterized by mental retardation, loose skin, coarse face, skeletal deformations, cardiomyopathy, and predisposition to numerous malignancies. The genetic origin of Costello syndrome has not yet been defined. Using immunohistochemistry and metabolic labeling with [3H]-valine, we have established that cultured skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with Costello syndrome did not assemble elastic fibers, despite an adequate synthesis of tropoelastin and normal deposition of the microfibrillar scaffold. We found that impaired production of elastic fibers by these fibroblasts is associated with a functional deficiency of the 67-kD elastin-binding protein (EBP), which is normally required to chaperone tropoelastin through the secretory pathways and to its extracellular assembly. Metabolic pulse labeling of the 67-kD EBP with radioactive serine and further chase of this tracer indicated that both normal fibroblasts and fibroblasts from patients with Costello syndrome initially synthesized comparable amounts of this protein; however, the fibroblasts from Costello syndrome patients quickly lost it into the conditioned media. Because the normal association between EBP and tropoelastin can be disrupted on contact with galactosugar-bearing moieties, and the fibroblasts from patients with Costello syndrome revealed an unusual accumulation of chondroitin sulfate–bearing proteoglycans (CD44 and biglycan), we postulate that a chondroitin sulfate may be responsible for shedding EBP from Costello cells and in turn for their impaired elastogenesis. This was further supported by the fact that exposure to chondroitinase ABC, an enzyme capable of chondroitin sulfate degradation, restored normal production of elastic fibers by fibroblasts from patients with Costello syndrome. We also present evidence that loss of EBP from fibroblasts of Costello syndrome patients is associated with an unusually high rate of cellular proliferation. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (869 kb) |
How specific is Plasmodium falciparum adherence to chondroitin 4-sulfate? Trends in Parasitology, Volume 27, Issue 9, 1 September 2011, Pages 375-381 Suchi Goel and D. Channe Gowda Abstract Plasmodium falciparum infection during pregnancy results in the sequestration of infected red blood cells (IRBCs) in the placenta, contributing to pregnancy associated malaria (PAM). IRBC adherence is mediated by the binding of a variant Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte binding protein 1 named VAR2CSA to the low sulfated chondroitin 4-sulfate (C4S) proteoglycan (CSPG) present predominantly in the intervillous space of the placenta. IRBC binding is highly specific to the level and distribution of 4-sulfate groups in C4S. Given the strict specificity of IRBC–C4S interactions, it is better to use either placental CSPG or CSPGs bearing structurally similar C4S chains in defining VAR2CSA structural architecture that interact with C4S, evaluating VAR2CSA constructs for vaccine development or studying structure-based inhibitors as therapeutics for PAM.
