Kevin Kline narrates George Balanchine's staging of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. This version will be especially appealing to children because of the age of its young stars. With the New York City Ballet.
On a trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia, in 2000, Anne Bass came across sixteen-year-old Sokvannara (Sy) Sar performing in a temple with a traditional Cambodian dance group. His amazing natural charm and grace as a dancer moved her immensely; even after returning to America the memory of Sy's performance and remarkable abilities lingered.
A longtime patron of dance in the U.S., Bass decided to offer this young man the opportunity to leave his home and follow a dream that he could not yet have fully imagined. She asked the World Monuments Fund, who helped sponsor Sy's dance troupe, to contact his teacher and parents to find out if Sy would like to visit New York where Anne could introduce Sy to the world of ballet and see if he had an interest in auditioning for the prestigious School of American Ballet (SAB).
Sy arrived in New York at sixteen without any classical ballet training and was initially turned down at SAB, and so after studying privately with legendary ballet teacher, Olga Kostritzky, the head of the boys program at SAB, Sy auditioned and was accepted to study at SAB. When Sy arrived at SAB most of his peers had already been training for at least six years. Sy studied at SAB for five years and when he finished his training there Peter Boal, a principal dancer with New York City Ballet and one of Sy's instructors at SAB, became the artistic director of Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) and invited Sy to join the PNB School's Professional Division, where he eventually became an apprentice and joined the corps de ballet. Shortly after joining PNB Sy also entered and reached the semi finals of the International Ballet Competition at Varna, Bulgaria, the world's oldest and most prestigious ballet competition.
Black Swan follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth McIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition, a new dancer Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

I was wondering what method would be the best way to accurately extract a flame from an image with a lot of noise/background?
I'd use either intensity thresholding or color segmentation. Where did you upload your image?
also could you explain this line alittle: thresholdValue = meanGL + 1.1 * sd;
It just thresholds the image at 1.1 standard deviations above the mean gray level.
Gotcha, I noticed in the segmented picture (the one that's black and white) there is still some noise to the right of the flame. Is there any way to get rid of this noise because I will be wanting to track the right and left most points of the flame.

35...waited as long as I could, after one baby...
35...waited as long as I could, after one baby they still never came...Sooo ittybitty no more! I found Dr. E two years prior and looked up reviews, researched the hospital, and all good things. But way before that I have always been small breasted, I've been slim (127/ 5'6) and in shape, nice legs, nice natural butt, athletic, just no ta ta's. The women in my family have D's some DD's, but me Im lucky if I am and full A. So I said as a birthday gift if I don't have them by 35 it's time. When I was prego I had FULL B's and I was so happy, but they didn't stay after breast feeding. So the opportunity has come up, I was scared but technology has improved this procedure so much that I did it.

Congrads ittynomore! How has your recovery been? Hoping you'll be posting an "after" picture soon. Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf. Keep us posted please!
Its Done!!!
I'm going to post updates tonight because I keep getting pulled away and I know how important it was for me to read post before I went it soooo here we go. The first one is of me the day of, I got my meds a few days before, memory foam wedge pillow (must have), and memory foam neck pillow (like the one you fly with (must have). I was comfortable after the procedure because of the medication. I was tight and you can not really move your arms to much. You will need help for at least three full days after the surgery. Oh, and I started eating a few prunes the night before, and I bought grape juice, vitamin water, and water to drink post op. To help with constipation and I went like two days after the surgery. If you have specific questions let me know because it is a lot to remember but super long posts turn me off, so ask away.

You look great congrats!!!
what size/profile implants did you go with?
don't go by the post dates...
The first post was before...the second post was the days after...under the pic I will put how many days out it was from the first day...healing nicely...they look great in a sports bra but out of one they are still healing and look very full, high and tight. I got 375cc left and 400cc on the right thats all that would fit for my frame and so far I am happy. You just have to know it takes time for them to settle. And don't go out buying silicone sheets and scar away right away because you can't use it until 12 weeks, so you have time...and at first I thought they would not be big enough but they are and they fit me..it takes time. Just taking motrin during the day and valium and motrin at night because I am still really tight at 20 days but your out about in no time you just have to remember to take it easy.

Size looks perfect so far. Congrats!!
Thank you.
Thank you
9 weeks post-op...is it time for bras?... can I resume my full workout?...is it okay to do boxing?
Im in love with my girls...I was measured at Victoria Secrets and I am a 34C, which is exactly the size I asked for. I am still dropping and I just brought my first bra today. Working out my upper body is still a little scary because I don't feel as strong as I was before the surgery and when I work my upper body I feel little bubble on the each side, I read this is something that happens and it does go away. When I wake up in the morning I am still a little tight and i just message them and I feel fine.

I've been doing my research because I plan on getting mine done for my 31st bday. A friend of mine just got hers done and I hate them! They look too round and unnatural. I'm barely an A cup now and I want them to look as natural as possible. What shape did you choose! Yours look SOOO natural looking! Thumbs up to your dr!!!
Thank you!...Yes koodos to my Dr. he did a good job. It depends on your frame and weight not cup size. I am a 5'5-5'6 , 127 lbs, slim build. I wanted to be a C so my doctor recommended 375 L/400 R cc's and wearing your regular clothes it is not drastic, but like a halter top or corset type top you can tell. In a sports bra I love these gals. Every girl after its done probably wishes she went bigger, me included but not any more. I was told you can always dress them up, but you can't dress them down. So don't over fill or you will have a round to big for your body look.
Are you doing cardio yet? Your books looks amazing I pray mines look that great your cc are just about the same as mines, and I want a natural look as well.
He was great! Any questions I had he answered and explained...even two days before the surgery I scheduled to see him to triple check size. He provided me with as much info possible and made me feel confident in my choice. Great doctor, his book also answered many questions. I would recommend you go in for the free consultation to gain info and get to know your potential Doctor.

The Reuters global sports blog
from Reuters Soccer Blog:
United get rude awakening
The plain sailing Manchester United would have expected in the group stage of their Champions League campaign has turned into a rough ride after Tuesday's 3-3 home draw with Swiss side Basel, who were unlucky not to have come away from Old Trafford with the three points.
Two draws in their last two games, away to Stoke City in the Premier League and the late escape against Basel, will have rooted out any complacency that might have crept into Alex Ferguson's men after their flying start to the season which included an 8-2 drubbing of Arsenal.
United's last two performances also showed that despite their three big summer signings in David De Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young, the team still lack depth when key players are injured.
With Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic, Javier Hernandez and the increasingly influential Chris Smalling all sidelined, United's makeshift 11 with Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia filling in at right back looked bereft of ideas up front against Stoke and utterly unconvincing even when they were 2-0 up against Basel, when only a late Young header spared them from paying in full for a comedy of errors at the back.
The Lineman: Week Three NFL picks
Had a Baltimore Ravens type Sunday last week, going 2-4 after a brilliant (if I do say so) 5-1 start to the season. But like the Ravens, I look for a big bounce back in Week 3.
Record: 7-5. Last week 2-4; Pick of the Week: 2-0
Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) at San Diego Chargers (1-1)
(Line: Chargers minus-14.5)
The Lineman: Week Two NFL picks
The Lineman got the season off to a Tom Brady like start going 5-1 but still room to improve so here's the Six Pack for Week 2.
Record: 5-1. Last week 0-0; Pick of the Week: 1-0
Houston Texans (1-0) at Miami Dolphins (0-1) (Line Texans minus-2.5)
The U.S. Open gets physical
The U.S. Open final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal was one of the most physical battles ever seen on a tennis court.
The sheer speed of their groundstrokes and length of the rallies were incredible. Djokovic dominated Nadal in the first two sets, to win them 6-2 6-4. He was on top of the baseline forcing Nadal to play well behind the baseline and not allowing him to play inside the court and dictate. Nadal though is tenacious and was down a break three times in the third set and broke Djokovic while serving for the match to end up winning the third set in a tiebreaker. Unfortunately, Nadal had nothing left in the fourth set.
"You just can't speak to umpires like that" – Rusedski on Serena
Week two of the U.S. Open had many stories. Would the weather destroy the momentum of the event? How would the courts hold up? Will the U.S. Open finally make plans to build a roof? Who would be the men's and woman's U.S. Open champions?
On the woman's side Serena Williams made the finals easily and was the big favorite to win the title against Sam Stosur. Stosur had the longest match in US Open history and played the longest tie breaker in U.S. open history as well, to make the finals. Nobody except Sam Stosur thought she would win. If she won, she would become the first Australian woman to win a major since 1980. She played the match of her life and won 6-2 6-3.
from Reuters Soccer Blog:
Champions League kicks off but is there only one winner?
Can any team steal Barcelona's Champions League crown this term?
The easy answer is no.
They were so strong last season that even the final against a good Manchester United side was a stroll.
This term Pep Guardiola's men have strengthened, if that was possible, with the additions of Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez so it is hard to look past them and their silky skills.
The Lineman is back! Week One NFL picks
The Lineman is back for a new season with his weekly Pick Six tips.
Have fun and good luck.
Carolina Panthers (0-0) at Arizona Cardinals (0-0) (Line Cardinals minus-6.5)
Rusedski sticks to his picks
The first week of the US Open is always interesting. It's easy to get a sense of what is going to happen, who is playing well and who is struggling. The weather conditions have been warm but not as humid and hot as last year, no major issues for the players – with the exception of Rafael Nadal and his cramps post match during his press conference.
On the men's side Novak Djokovic has been sensational and has appeared to have had no issues with his shoulder that was worrying him in Cincinnati. Djokovic still looks like the favorite and is hitting the ball better than anyone in the tournament. Roger Federer has looked good as well, but had his first test against Mario Cilic. The big question mark around Federer is how will he play the big points if he plays Djokovic in the semi-finals but before getting there he has a tough section.
Strauss's side still not England's best
According to International Cricket Council statistician David Kendix's calculations, three England sides before Andrew Strauss's present team would have topped the test world rankings too if the current format had existed.
In reverse chronological order, they are Mike Brearley's side of 1979-80, Ray Illingworth's 1970-3 team and the 1955-9 squad led first by Len Hutton then Peter May.
Rusedski makes his picks for the US Open
The men's side of this year's US Open is going to be very interesting.
Will Novak Djokovic's shoulder hold up and can he win his third major of the year? Will Roger Federer win another major with one of the toughest sections of the draw? Can Rafael Nadal get his form back to defend the title? Will Andy Murray win his first major? And finally, who are the dark horses?
Djokovic's first two rounds look comfortable, then his route gets interesting with a possible match up against Nikolay Davydenko in the third, Richard Gasquet in the fourth and Tomas Berdych in the quarters before he most likely meets Federer in the semi-finals, if Federer gets there! Berdych could be the danger man in the section if his shoulder recovers from Cincinnati.

"The invitation turned out beautifully. I loved the colors and design. Your designers helped with the text. I was just great."
"I loved this invite from the second I saw it and it came just as I expected. The colors are great and the paper quality did not disappoint.."
"The texture and thickness of the card exceeded my expectations. The colors of sepia for the pictures was perfectly combined with the color of the card and print. The printing on the envelopes was professional. I really appreciated the service of the cards that I could create using all the options. Having them printed and mailed in envelopes to the list of invites was so convenient. It made my life easier. The invites were for my mothers's 90th birthday party and she was thrilled. She called me the minute she received her copy. She loved the card stock, the picture quality and could not believe I had used an on-line service. I will use this service again."

"But ideology is just a pejorative word for principles in which you happen not to believe."
Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt - yup - that's me.
I can think of more pejorative words than there are names for gawd, to describe believers in any of their forms, be they religious, political, economical, etc. etc.
Sooner or later, they run up against the rock of reality, and their failing get exposed, but the clever bit, is how they deny reality…
Greatest scam out there.
I live in a town designed by urban planners who had a belief in how people should mover around and interact.
You can tell by the muddy path straight across the middle of the roundabout that they have failed – people just don't use the paths and tunnels, they prefer get from A to B in an efficient fashion.
Then again, I believe there are far far too many people on this planet and women should be both informed and given a choice.
I believe that the freedom of religion is essential. And there is more proof for what Prophet Joseph Smith taught than any other religion. Prophet Joseph Smith explained many mysteries that other prophets were not able to explain in the King Follett Discourse. Based on Joseph Smith's teachings, Lorenzo Snow, the fifth president of the Mormon church, wrote that: "As man is, God once was; As God is, man may be." Look into this truth yourself. God was a man before he even became a God. This is very comforting. So we too may be exalted to be gods. This is very encouraging. Doctrine and Covenants 132:20
"God was a man before he even became a God"
Who created him then?
Biggest mistake mankind made:
Inventing gawd.
I'm reporting that as being completely off topic. dont sully a sane debate with your irrelevant (to this topic at least) dogma...
well he evolved of course! :-) Then man made god in man's image, which allowed man distinguish which of us is like him an which of us is not.
I tried to read the Book of Mormon in high school. Even then my studies in history were sufficient to identify it as SciFi/Fantasy.
The police records and neighbors' testimony on one womanizing, grifting liar named Smith [whose deathbed confession virtually admits these flaws] is pretty conclusive evidence that there is "more proof than for any other religion" that Mormonism is completely bogus.
Then there are the recantations and revelations by people leaving the LDS to consider.
I bear you no ill will [except when being pestered by missionaries] and admit that most Mormons are straight-shooters and good citizens. The attacks made on Mr. Romney [whom I voted for as governor and would have done so again] are motivated by religious bigotry, to some extent, which is shameful.
I believe in live and let live. One religion attempting to impose its religion on others is unacceptable, as is a religion or religious people attempting to use the state to enforce their dogma.
Sure, why would he make that up?
Why can't everybody just agree with everything Newt believes in? It would make his life so much easier. Poor guy, having to put up with all these pesky non-christians.
Wish that I felt more strongly about this. All about free contraception, but this feels like a fairly boneheaded decision on the part of the administration...then again they weren't getting votes from the sort of people who oppose birth control in the first place.
I disagree. I think it was a shrewd political move. I forget the publication where I read the analysis, but they said that the goal is for the administration to elevate the "reproductive rights" agenda from abortion to a broader contraception including level. You may not get young people riled up about the GOP by telling them they will outlaw abortion, but if you say they want to prevent your employer from providing low cost contraception you change the game. As the commenter below notes, Obama isn't going to lose any Catholic votes over this, but will broaden his appeal among the young and some independents.
If the administration is actually being that tactful in making a move like this, then I rescind my comment. My problem is that as a liberal I'm a touch concerned about our prospects going in to November, and this feels like the sort of issue that would have been better fought after we won the election. Sure a lot of independents, especially younger people, will agree with the idea that employers should be supporting contraception, but by framing the issue around schools with a religious affiliation the right is simply given far too much ground to paint this as the persecution of Christians. Also if you do find that article again I'd really like to read it.
Mark/Bo agreed. I think it was the right thing to do on principle but maybe the wrong thing to do politically. I hope that I am wrong but we will see. Obama's reelection is at best a 50/50 shot so I don't see why he would inject any more uncertainty into the equation.
"Having won their vote by 54% to 45% in 2008, Mr Obama may now be in deep trouble with America's 70m Catholics."
"Nor will it require anybody to practise contraception against their will (and most Catholics use contraceptives anyway)."
So the catholics who are currently protesting are probably those who voted McCain and the majority who already practicing contraception and family planning will probably vote for Obama once more...
I don't really see where Obama put himself in trouble.
Well, that is the million dollar question: will contraceptive using catholics stick it to Obama for this "attack" on religous liberty.
Now for GOD's sake, get the American employers out of the business of providing their workers with health care.
If citzens bought their own individual cover / plan in a regulated market, this would be one more problem that could be avoided.
Imagine the stupidity if we mandate employers provide other key necessities, say housing and food. How perfect would that be... Then the unemployed, entrepreneuers and freelancers could go hungry and homeless in addition to being without healthcare.
Republicans claim to be for freedom and choice. One would think that consumer choice would be something they could get behind. Not to mention the burden that employer mandated weighs on their business friends further reducing international competitiveness...
Where is the leadership? Where is the imagination?
Blocked by block-headed partisan dogma as usual.
The Catholic Church persecuted Galileo and Copernicus for being right. It is surprising that the Church no longer insists that the Earth is still the center of the universe. Now it is crying foul over providing services its indirect employees (not church workers but those working for Catholic hospitals, universities etc.) want as evident from some 98% of their female employees that have spoken in its favor.
Whether the Obamacare Act is legal or not (the Supreme Court is weighing on this), to have two different healthcare coverage standards would create two classes of employees. The Republicans chastise Obama on class warfare. Now, they are guilty of the same crime. Regardless of their personal beliefs, they see an opportunity to grandstand an issue to curry voter's favors come November.
Religion and politics as usual.
If you look at a short history of Copernicus' life and work, for example in Wikipedia, you won't find anything about him being persecuted. He didn't publish his ideas widely, "not wishing—as he confessed—to risk the scorn 'to which he would expose himself on account of the novelty and incomprehensibility of his theses.'"
Not that I want to be thought of as supporting the Catholic Church, but let's not accuse it of doing things that it didn't in fact do.
Galileo was persecuted for promoting Copernicus' theories. One could speculate that Copernicus self-censored his ideas because they ran counter to the all-powerful church dogma.
Regardless, there is a parallel. On one side we have the scientific community and on the other church dogma. Society would benefit if the church would enter the 21st century. Even the 20th would be an improvement.
Peter Miles, I agree with everything that you wrote, with the possible exception of "speculate"; I think that it's clear that he did censor himself.
I entirely agree that progress comes from science, to the extent of believing that religion is the expression of man's residual ignorance (not that I'm the first to say that, of course).
I just wanted to point out that while Galileo was indeed persecuted, Copernicus, in an earlier age, was not.
This was a great column by Lexington until the unfortunate last paragraph. It would be naive of me to expect his mentioned compromise to stifle all of Lexington's complaints.
Rick Perry "wailing about gays serving openly in the armed forces" has nothing to do with this issue. It is baffling to me why Newt Gingrich's confusion is even mentioned at all. But I know these opportunities are just too tempting for Lexington to pass up.
Please try to remember that "a better question than which principle takes precedence is whether Mr Obama could have avoided the collision altogether by taking evasive action. He could and should have."
The issue is not whether individual catholics will be forced to violate their respective conscience (most have no issue with contraception-many no issue with legal abortion). The problem is that these regs will force an establishment of religion like the Catholic Chuch to pay for a specific service that will cause it to clearly violate more than one of its well established teachings. As Lexingtopn points out, this does not have to be the case and the Admistration could easily regulate a way around this. (And, Euphrax is right on to point out the problems with employer based insurance)
Further, this is not the same as marriage. While law will only "recognize" one wife, there is nothing prohibiting a Muslim man to take as many "wives" as he wants within the meaning of Islam. I'm not aware of any Islamic teaching that marriage requires the recognition of the secular authorities to be a true marriage.
Finally, do we really want to put religious institutions in the position of having to choose between capitulating to secular culture and turning inward and becoming more sectarian? Do we want a pluralist religous culture or do we want to force chuches into cultural ghettos? Is the administration trying to gode Catholic institutions into serving and hiring only (or predominantly) Catholics in order to be exempt from the regs, or is it just turning the screws on the Chuch since they think it larger mission makes it unlikely to do that?
I [an ex-Catholic] for one want it made clear to the Catholic Church and others that their constant attempts to impose their dogma on others is unacceptable, and if they want to retain their status they must refrain from political interference.
The Church is not imposoing its dogma's on others here. This is an issue of forcing the church to violate its own dogmas. Why is it considers "political interference" to speak out and challenge a law that directly affects the minitries the Church is engaged in? Are you saying that because an institution is a church it must give up its voice on issues that affect its pocket book and works?
If the church succeeds in limiting or preventing birth control or abortion through political meddling then it is negatively affecting the rights of people who do not believe in its doctrines. By doing so it violates the separation of church and state while hiding behind that separation to avoid state control and payment of taxes. Had I the power I would make them choose, give up the meddling or lose the privileges.
Then there is the interference in the immigration issue. The church condones and promotes lawbreaking, and a certain cardinal should be investigated and forced to appear before a grand jury for it.
Cardinal Law [Lawless would be a more appropriate name] protected child molesting priests, and moved them around, thus giving them more opportunity to prey on children. He should be in a Boston jail not in a cushy curia job.
If the depredations of this Italian criminal association had ceased in the past, I would not have any issues with it. However they continue to this day and I see no reason why it should be allowed to interfere in the administration of US laws nor to promote restricting the civil rights of US citizens.
Contraception and abortion are not dogmas they are moral positions taken by the church for various reasons, but mainly on natural law grounds. Lots of non catholics and non christians oppose abortion. However, the Church is not looking to prohibit or limit contraception in any general sense here. it is merely fighting requirement that it provided what its long established moral teachings condemn. The "imposing" is coming from the govenrment in this instance. Regarding abortion, no amount of "political meddling" will end abortion until we as a country accpet the appointment of judges to allow for prohibition and then elect 50 state legislatures to prohibit it. The bishops, clergy and faithful have no such power on their own, but have the absolute right to advocate for this.
The last paragraph makes the article sounds like an exercise in moral equivalence. No matter what present US administration does Republican are Sooo Evil.
It is well established Supreme Court jurisprudence that the US Constitution guarantees women the fundamental right to determine when and if they want to have children by use of contraceptives. All this regulation does is not make a special exemption to deny that right for the Catholic Church, which employs hundreds of thousands of persons in hospitals and universities who perform functions wholly unrelated to the furtherance of Catholic teachings. A huge number of these individuals likely are not Catholic, or even Christian. And again, it doesn't require the Church or its members to affirmatively do a single thing that violates its tenets: it merely prevents them from denying one of its employees from exercising her individual right to a specific form of medication the Church happens to oppose (foolishly, but that's for another discussion).
All of these bishops with their jeremiads of Obama running roughshod over their religious freedoms are wholly disingenuous. They are nothing more than politicians with tax-exempt status and undue influence over public policy. I don't think a group of older men more interested in protecting their own assets than stopping pedophilia within their ranks are entitled to the outrage they now express.
On the ground level, the Catholic Church does immeasurable good in the US and around the world. Many of its nuns, priests, and lay members feed and shelter the poor, care for the sick, and provide a first-rate education (both parochial and secular) to children and adolescents. They also show great compassion and respect for others who harbor views they may disagree with. The Church's all male Board of Directors - oops, I mean council of bishops - might want to take note.
Hate the Church w/all your ignorant might and main. But do understand that Obama is, indeed, running roughshod over the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
What are you talking about Daisy^2? You might be drinking too much moonshine with your morning coffee. What about the rights of people who work for a Catholic-affiliated institution that DO believe in the use of contraceptives?
Whether or not the constitution guarantees the right of women to use contraception it doesn't require others to pay for the contraception.
I think your confusing the issues. The Supreme Court has ruled that constitution prohibits states from outlawing contraception. It has not ruled that people are entitled to contraception. There is no constitutional right to be provided contrception coverage by an employer. The issue here is mandating an establishment of religion to provide a service that clearly violates several of its long established teachings.
No, he isn't.
"What about the rights of people who work for a Catholic-affiliated institution that DO believe in the use of contraceptives?"
Let them buy their own contraceptives.
Incidentally, no one has a 'right' to have someone else provide their health care. Nor does anyone have an intrinsic right to health care.
And what is the RCC doing when it tries to force non-Catholics to obey its dogma which they do not believe in?
You interpret honest and intelligent disagreement as some sort of hatred? And ignorance? Wow, your life must be awfully hard.
I am not a Roman Catholic.
And I totally oppose any State banning contraceptives.
However, the Supreme Court does not have any Amending power to the Constitution.
Constitutional Amendments are made by the Congress and the States (unless a Convention is called - then Congress may be by-passed).
The Supreme Court can no more create a right to contraceptives than it can declare that the United States Senate should no longer exist, or that New Hampshire be carpet-bombed.
If you wish to argue that a State has no legal right to ban contraceptives you must show that in the text of the Constitution, or (if the wording is unclear) in the intentions of those who wrote it.
Saying "the Supreme Court said so" will not do.
As a Justice on the Court at the time said "this is a remarkably silly law [the ban on cntraceptives], but it has got nothing to with us".
Sadly the majority of the Supreme Court decided (as they so often do) to ignore the United States Constitution and play legislator-from-the-bench.
Obama is not a Christian. Nor is he a Muslim (although that's the only formal religion he's ever been exposed to via his step-father in Indonesia). He is a Marxist. Obama is a dedicated follower of Black Liberation Theology as preached/ranted by "Rev." Wright at Trinity "Church". Obama faithfully attended Trinity for over 20 years. He was married there and had his children formally 'baptized' into Black Liberation Theology. Marxism is his religion.
Black Liberation Theology, as anyone even slightly interested can easily find out, practices the tenets of Marxism.
The Economist would do well to note that the First Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits government interference into organized religions. Here in the USA we call that freedom of religion. Obama is violating our Constitution.
Back in Briton you have no real separation of church and state. Which is unfortunate because as a result of that merger, you now have no church, only a sterile of morality secular state. Practicing Americans prefer freedom of religious practice to Big Government as Church.
What is this, I don't even...
To perhaps be more clear, marxism isn't a religion. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/367344/Marxism
Sorry to break this to you.
Strictly speaking, neither is Black Liberation Theology. Nevertheless, Black Liberation Theology is what's preached and practiced at Trinity Church. And the fundamentalist roots of the 'theology' are Marxist. Hence, Obama's religion.
It's reality. Now stop your pretentious stuttering and deal with it.
Perhaps you should acquire more knowledge of internet slang.
You're conflating social and economic ideals with theology, which is unfortunate.
No, that would be what Obama has done. Next.
The argument of whether or not Obama is a Christian is irrelevant and impossible to answer definitively. Only God knows the heart of a man. Others, such as Daisy Daisy, just think they do.
Wow! Talk about dogmatism and, BTW logical fallacy, in support of a totalitarian ideology! There is a pope on record condemning the US, democracy and republicanism. I don't believe we have yet received an apology.
I left the RCC for good and sufficient reason [including exposure as a child to one "father" Porter, a priest from hell]. I am now proudly Protestant, and will protest, if necessary by nailing condemnations on the doors of churches, the imposition of medieval Catholic ideology through the power of the state on non-Catholics like myself.
Who are you to proclaim the religious beliefs of Pres. Obama or anyone else? Before I acquiesce in a reign of the Inquisition in the US I will take up arms. The RCC has absolutely no right, moral or otherwise, to impose its dogma on anyone!
Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, Muslims, etc. have equal rights in this secular republic. If the RCC continues to interfere in the governance of the US and tries to impose its beliefs it should lose its tax exemption and its clerics up to cardinal should be investigated, charged and punished for any and all crimes committed.
And you're not very smart. Now how does that feel, Daisy Daisy? You KNOW what Obama is and what he's thinking? And how would that be. You're nuts.
Of course I know what his religious beliefs are, and they are not Christian. Trinity Church's dogma, Marxist Black Liberation Theology, is a readily accessible matter of public record.
Your commentary is drivel and shall be ignored as such.
All true Daisy Daisy. Espcially about Comrade Barack - Lexington knows that as well as you do (but like the rest of the msm, truth is not exactly his lodestar - indeed he sees his role as being covering up the truth so that the "Progressive" cause may proceed)
Nor does the establishment of religion (and centuries of tradition) protect Christianity in Britain anyway.
For example, Paliament (like Congress) starts its proceedings with prayers (none of the Founders believed that the First Amendment was about keeping relgion out of government, they thought it was about stopping the Feds playing favourates with any particular Chuch, but do not tell Lex that....). However, local councils are not going to be forbidden to so so - there was a court judgement only yesterday (against a town that had been starting its proceedings with a prayer since at least the 16th century).
"Well Paul you should be against compulsory prayers - after all you are a libertarian".
The prayers were not compulsory (no one need to say anything - and athiest council members made a point of making that obvious, and they was fine).
But even if I did support the banning of all religion in public life I would still not support the British situation.
For example again only yesterday a the old husband and wife owners of a little guest house lost an appeal against a court judgement that will cripple them.
What was their terrible action? Not giving a Gay couple a double room
The husband and wife guest house owners were not national or local govenrment - they are a private couple (not a government) yet there is no protection for their religious beliefs in Britain.
That is the sort of "anti discrimination" doctrine that people like Lexington would also support in an American context (as would the "Progressives" who were born in the United States).
"Anti discrimination" sounds wonderful (I hate bigots to - and I belong to several groups in the population that other people are bigoted against) - till one remembers that to "discriminate" means to "choose" and taking that right away means no choice.
And if that means that (for various reasons) people "discriminate against" (i.e. will not do business with) Paul Marks - well that is what freedom is about (freedom is not an entirely fluffy concept, I should not be be able to FORCE other people to sell me goods or services if they do not wish to do so, I can go to someone else if the first seller really will not sell to me).
If freedom does not include the freedom NOT to associate then it is not freedom.
Well said, Paul Marks.
I think Lexington's last paragraph, while perhaps seeming political, does make a good point - many who claim to be fighting for the constitution's protections of religious liberty are only concerned about their liberty, and will sometimes be simultaneously against any incursion on their spiritual life and vociferously for intrusion into the religious lives of others. How many fighting this decision were people who were against the Manhattan (or 'ground zero') mosque?
What I do take issue with in this article is the implication that the Obama administration is forcing this issue as some kind of culture-war proxy; there is no way that this administration would be doing this as anything other than a clumsy blunder, it has not ever shown such things to be of interest to the White house. At some points what you seem to be saying is that the administration needs to be extra careful just because a load of cynics and lunatics want to portray Obama as a crusader - and I use that word purposefully - against religion.
You seem to suggest that there has to be a solution to this that will please both sides of the argument without venturing to suggest a way towards that. It comes down to the right to employees who aren;t catholics to receive free contraception like other citizens vs. the right of Catholic organisations to not have to help fund practices which go against the teachings of their church. How do you reconcile the two?
Very good point. The Obama administration will most certainly come up with a waiver system that satisfies both rights--in fact they are working on it as we speak. Would a fierce culture warrior who is fighting a "war against religion" cave so easily? I don't think so.
To your last question, i think the answer is simple. The right to contraception coverage is a statutory right created by the ADA. the right of an establishment of religion to not be forced to pay for services that violate its well established teachings is a 1st amendment right.
The 26 states that already enforce such requirements have withstood (at least two) challenges based on just that first amendment argument, although only in state court.
If you're not going to nationalize the hospitals, and instead live with a rich variety of providers, you have to make some allowances for the people you're dealing with. Not finding a way to accommodate the Catholics can be defended in principle, but is a complete failure in terms of practical politics. What could Obama and his advisors have been thinking? Someone should be fired. So now the Priests get to nail themselves to the cross of religious persecution. There is no way Obama can win this one. He should cut his losses and retreat ASAP. There is no battle to be fought. He has already lost.
Obama may be losing support from this one but it is the Catholic Church that is losing the war and covering itself in ridicule.
Contraception against religious beliefs? Please, most Catholics ignore that injunction and this is a way for bishops to try to impose it on a captive population (their employees). In practical terms the amount of contraception will remain the same, it is just that their employees will have to pay for it instead of the Church paying a fine if on principle they refuse to provide it.
Here are the characteristics of a cult:
• Small? The Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) has 14 million members in 132
countries. In America, there are more Mormons than there are Presbyterians or Jews.
• Excessive devotion? Mormons are devoted to the Savior, but in appropriate measure He would approve of.
• Unethical techniques? Ask the pie-throwers to name one.
• Control by isolation? Even if Mormons wanted to, this would be impossible with 14 million members in 28,000 congregations throughout the
• Control by threats? Again, evidence? Mormon missionaries may be
exuberant, but do not threaten.
• Dependency on the group? The Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) is just the opposite. Mormons want members to be self-reliant and independent so they in turn can help others.
• Powerful group pressure? Only if that's the way the critics prefer to define love.
• Strange? Guilty as charged. Mormons plead guilty to all the strange
things that were done by Christians in New Testament times that were lost
during the great falling away in the aptly named Dark Ages, among them temple worship, vicarious baptism for the dead, definition of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit as separate but united in purpose, salvation requiring both grace and obedience to commandments, prophets and apostles, unpaid clergy, and continual revelation to guide His Church.
For more information, please go to:
If those characteristics define a cult, than every nuclear family unit is, by definition, a cult.
More seriously, all legitimate religions have their origins as cults. The word has taken on a sinister meaning, and so has rendered the original definition meaningless. At any rate, the Mormon religion has certainly grown from its original particular (and even peculiar) cultivation to a throughly established mainstream religion. As opposed to ignoramouses who prefer to bash religions rather than join them, it's a force for stability and goodness.
I hate to point this out, but the article does not argue that mormonism is a cult. It states that many Americans believe it to be one, which is true.
...and Bot Bot was offering a refutation of that commonly-held view.
"Catholic institutions are making a principled stand for what they see as the sanctity of life. The administration argues with no less conviction that the well-being of women depends on affordable access to contraception no matter where they work."
You have argued several times that the Administration is doing this "on principle" - probably because many of us see this is just another grubby politicking maneuver emanating from a White House full of stupid ideas. So you have to warn you that is not the case...
Fine, let's buy into your implausible premise. No one is saying that the Administration should not defend "affordable access to contraception" (we could, in principle - but we won't). We're just saying that it crossed the line when it tried to create affordability by forcing Catholics (and the Church) to pay for it.
If it is such a vital "right", the Administration could use general tax dollars to subsidize it. Or even leave it alone - in time people who want these kind of services would gravitate to plans, hospitals and jobs to offer them.
It was doctor's recommendations that it must be provided in health care plans not the white house. The white house was just enforcing what research, statics and empirical data has said that a basic plan needs to providing contraception coverage. Clergy are not doctors so they shouldn't decide medical decisions based on some principle set over two thousands years in the past. If they feel that strongly about it then don't provide healthcare coverage and pay the fine, they have the money. Also I think its funny that most Catholics use contraception but if they are employed by an organization of the faith they follow, they have to pay for it them selves.
Please get out of the middle ages, (touching little boys) = (not good) and (contraception) = (good on many levels determined by evidence).
You do understand that "stupid ideas" is not the same as "An idea that you dont agree with"...
But in case you dont understand that nuance, there is the 1st Amendment to make sure no one can punish you for that.
That's because you don't think anybody is right but the Republicans.
For a country that was founded on the notion of religious freedom, the U.S. shows remarkably little patience with it today.
AtlantisKing, you are quite correct. Long before I lived in the US, I lived in the UK, which does have an established Church the Church of England). Somewhat perversely, I felt more religiously free in the UK than I do in the US. And there is much less intrusion of religion into government (and vv) in the UK than there is in the US - from my own personal perspective.
Freedom of religion implies freedom FROM religion, especially freedom from someone imposing their religion. If the Catholic Church will stop trying to impose its dogma on everyone else, I will be happy to leave them to stew in their own medieval beliefs undisturbed.
You need to give some examples. It seems to me there's more religious freedom than there is for those who don't practice any religion. It appears the government is always being required to bow to religious preferences of one sort or another, or dictums from the church.
One solution would be to allow organizations that object to artificial birth control (including but not limited to the Catholic Church) the option of providing Natural Family Planning (NOT the rhythm method) instead of contraception.
Natural family planning involves the woman monitoring her temperature, bodily fluids and often cervix. It's invasive but it's been shown to be over 98% effective.
If the law continues to require religious organizations to violate the teachings of their faith they will not follow the law. They will fight the law in court and/or pay the fines.
The problem with this is that the Roman Catholic Church does not believe in any form of contraception, that intercourse MUST be for the purpose of procreation or not be done in such a way as to prevent conception.
The Catholic Church promotes Natural Family Planning. It's part of marriage prep at most Catholic churches. NFP requires about 10 days of abstinance a month (or about 7 days with cervical monitoring).
Natural Family Planning works. My wife and I have used it for the 16 years we've been married. She only got pregnant the two times we planned to have children. When we decided to have kids and stopped using NFP she was pregnant within two months.
That is all well and good. If you, the Catholic church or other organizations want to promote it, that is also well and good. And you have my blessing [such as it is].
The problem is that freedom of religion FOR Catholics and the Catholic church, must be reciprocated by freedom FROM Catholic beliefs, rules, requirements and dogma by people who believe otherwise.
This point always gets lost in the general antagonism. Freedom of religion implies freedom from other people's religion, and the problem is that people get riled about infringements on their freedom while doing things that look to other people like infringement of theirs.
What I promote is, "Leave each other alone." Don't promote laws, no matter how much you think God wants them, that other people reject, because they will go as far as necessary to reject those laws. Let's break this cycle.
Leave each other alone is good. But leaving me alone includes not making me pay for something I believe is immoral. If you don't like the benefits I pay for you can find another employer, just as you can do if you don't like the wages I offer.
Personally I'm willing to pay for many types of birth control although I won't pay for a plan that includes coverage that can terminate a life like the "morning after" pill. If the law says that must be covered, then for moral reasons I won't offer health coverage but pay the fine and pay higher wages.
I don't want to repeat what I have said twice already. However there is another point that needs to be made. If you have several children and I have none, should I be required to pay for your children's schooling with my taxes. Especially as you could pay to send them to a private [and excellent Catholic] school?
I am not seriously suggesting this as there is a definite public good in having a well educated citizenry. I am just pointing out the increasingly selfish viewpoints on all sides of every issue. If we don't find an accommodation or compromise that is at least acceptable to all sides we could be in for a very rough ride.
I think if everybody got behind a single-payer public health plan it would solve a lot of problems. It would be necessary to offer a secular and a non-secular plan, but I think it could be done if there is good-will on both sides.
It's not that Newt mistunderstands the letter and spirit of the first amendment--it's that he understands the prejudice and animosity of the Republican base.
The Economist has missed the point- I believe. The president made a politically strategic choice to spark this debate. Sure, maybe it is based on principle, but it is a brilliant move. It allows him to talk about the core purspose of this heath care plan and how it benefits individuals. The Republican argument against the president will appeal to religeous conservatives (which won't vote for the Democrats anyway) but will very likely upset the women vote (which is Romney's strength). I may not always agree with him, but he is usually a few steps ahead...

European Deep-sea Fisheries at Risk
Deep-sea fisheries: Exploiting the most vulnerable species from Oceana on Vimeo.
Today the European Commission proposed new catch limits for 2013 and 2014 that will allow fishermen to exploit some little-known but important deep-sea fishes against the advice of scientists. As this video of the European deep-sea prepared by our European office demonstrates, even though light doesn't penetrate to the ocean bottom, it's still thriving with life. It's a strange world and the animals themselves often have fittingly strange names, like the Mediterranean slimehead, greater forkbeard, and conger, to name a few.
Some species, like the roundnose grenadier, blue ling and red seabream, need special protection. Executive Director of Oceana Europe, Xavier Pastor explains why:
"Due to their biological characteristics, like low reproduction, slow growth rate and late maturity, deep sea species are highly vulnerable to overexploitation. Their management must, now more than ever, follow the precautionary approach."
European fishermen have increasingly turned to scouring the deep-sea for fish as more traditional stocks have fallen and pirate fishermen have been able to hammer stocks of threatened deep-sea sharks through the sale of shark liver oil in the EU.
Right now Oceana's research vessel, the Oceana Ranger, is sailing off of the picturesque Algarve section of Portugal using an underwater robot, known as an ROV, to explore and document the scarcely seen world of seamounts, deep-sea coral reefs and seafloor habitat. It's an effort that will help scientists develop conservation proposals and better protect this vital ecosystem--one that can be obliterated in an instant by bottom trawlers. Keep up with the Ranger expedition online and check out the latest pictures and video.

Beaconsfield SYCOB 0 Rugby Town 0
Southern League Division One Central
RUGBY'S play-off hopes were dented further on Saturday when they suffered a second successive goalless draw to make it two points out of the last 12 available.
Both sides ended up with ten men in what proved a forgettable contest after Yiadom Yeboah and Seb Hamilton were dismissed following a first half altercation.
With Tyrone Fagan still suspended and Luke Keen injured, Seb Lake-Gaskin returned to the starting line-up, however, manager Dave Stringer largely kept faith with the side that drew with Northwood last week.
A rock hard pitch did help either side in their efforts to play football and neither goalkeeper had a serious save to make throughout the contest.
Beaconsfield keeper Michael Power-Simpson smothered the ball from Richard Blyth's cross, which proved the only effort of note before the major talking point of the game in the 25th minute.
Hamilton fouled the home side's Yeboah just inside the Rugby half but Beaconsfield's captain did not like the tackle and appeared to raise his hand to Hamilton. The striker retaliated by also raising his hand, leaving the referee with little choice but to send both men off.
With no recognised striker on the bench, Lake-Gaskin played as a lone striker but Rugby struggled to break through the home defence.
Defender Craig Milligan saw his effort fly over whilst Charlie Mpi shot wide for the home side just before half time.
The second half failed to bring an improvement with both sides failing to register an effort on goal.
Rugby had most of the possession but could not find the quality to engineer a clear opportunity.
Blythe saw his shot blocked after good work after Gary Moran teed up a fine ball for Richie Allen to cross into the box but the game drifted to a drab conclusion.

As you'd expect from a fella who attracts female stares like a magnet does iron filings, Deonte's got some lofty standards when it comes to potential romantic interests: if you want to grab his attention, you've got to be One of a Kind. An aura of shyness and mystery can't hurt either, as evidenced by the Georgia native's Booth debut, which finds him instantly drawn to a girl he sees sitting at a distance from the crowd, all on her lonesome. Over the dreamy synths and handclap-driven percussion of beatsmith Dre Norris, Deonte does his damnedest to convince the hesitant shawty to, "...take a chance with your boy and see." While it isn't revealed whether or not Deonte succeeds in winning over the girl in question, it's hard to imagine her being able to resist his smooth vocal runs and airy falsetto. If you find yourself seduced by the artist's masterful game-spitting, you can find plenty more where this came from on Deonte's self-titled EP, released this past January and available now online.
