Emptiness brings Light...
It is not the solid wood that can become a flute, it is the empty reed.
Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
There is a saying of Jalaluddin Rumi, 'Fire, water, air, and earth are God's servants, and whenever He wishes them to work for Him, they are ready to obey his command.' If the elements are the obedient servants of God, cannot man be a greater and better instrument?
In point of fact God Himself is the messenger. In the aspect of God He is God, but, in the form of the messenger, He is the messenger. The tide of the sea surges, and when the sea has that motion it is called tide, but in reality the tide is the sea itself.
It is not solid wood that can become a flute, but the empty reed. It is the perfection of that passiveness in the heart of the messenger which gives scope for the message from above; for the messenger is the reed, the instrument. The difference between his life and the life of the average man is that the latter is full of self. It is the blessed soul whose heart is empty of self, who is filled with the light of God.
If you want money more than anything,
you'll be bought and sold.
If you have a greed for food,
you'll be a loaf of bread.
This is a subtle truth:
whatever you love, you are.
- Rumi
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Version by Coleman Barks
Maypop, 1993
Shine Through...
The ego self is the creature born out of man's own doing and thinking, slowly changing and growing.
The Overself is the image of God, perfect, finished, and changeless.
What he has to do, if he is to fulfil himself,
is to let the one shine through the other.
- Paul Brunton
One Precept...
"Basically, there is only one precept -- not being selfish.
If people are selfish, they will violate the precepts.
If people are not selfish, they will not violate the precepts."
Venerable Master Hsuan Hua
_Spring Sun, Lotus Flower:
The Source of all meaning...
Whereas the Experience of our Nature is served up (if at all) complete, in one infinitely generous helping, its meaning is for the most part withheld. Normally, it's doled out in driblets, at other times poured out more generously, but never given in its entirety.
The last word about This is never said, the ultimate and all-embracing idea of it is never conceived, the deepest feeling never plumbed.
Truly speaking, our Source has no meaning whatever. In Itself it is infinitely beyond all that limited and limiting stuff, for nothing that can be said or thought or felt about It is It.
The Source of all meaning is Itself far beyond and absolutely free from all that proceeds from It. And you are That.
~ From: Open to the Source
by Douglas Harding
The Principle of Consciousness...
It is not the five senses which know the world outside, since they are only instruments which the mind uses.
It is not even the intellect, since that merely reproduces the image formed out of the total sense reports.
They are not capable of functioning by themselves.
It is the principle of Consciousness which is behind both, and for which they are simply agents, that really makes awareness of the world at all possible.
It is like the sun, which lights up the existence of all things..
Paul Brunton
What's wrong with this picture ?...
Artist: Van Morrison
Album: What's wrong with this picture? (2003)
What's wrong with this picture?
There's something I'm not seeing here
What's wrong with this picture?
Something's not exactly clear
What's wrong with this picture?
Does it look like it's just another sting?
'Cos it don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing and ring a ding ding
What's wrong with this picture?
Doesn't anybody see
That's who everyone thought
That I used to be
What's wrong with this picture?
It's only just hanging on a wall
So you can go right back to sleep
And just forget about it all,
I'm not that person anymore
I'm living in the present time
Baby, don't you understand
I've left all that jive behind
You can't believe what you read in the papers
Or half the news that's on TV
Or the gossip of the neighbors
Or anyone who doesn't want you to be free
I'm not that person anymore
I'm always living in the present time
Don't you understand
I left all that jive behind
What's wrong with this picture?
It's only hanging on the wall
Why don't we take it down and
Just forget about it 'cos that ain't me at all
Only Consciousness...
"I've told you all that constitutes the very core of Truth;
there is no you, no me, no Superior Being, no disciple, no guru."

Strict discipline key to Louis van Gaal's Manchester United
Jul 27, 2014, 7:11 AM EST
Double training sessions. Downgraded hotel reservations. Meals taken together, with food served according to Louis van Gaal's dietary guidelines. Only English to be spoken on the pitch.
Goodness knows what would happen if a Manchester United player pulled a Jack Wilshere and lit up a cigarette while on holiday. The manager would almost certainly expect more than an apology.
Certainly van Gaal is aware of the tough road he must climb. United finished seventh last season, and although both Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw have been brought in, they've yet to reinforce the squad with the players necessary to truly challenge for the Premier League title. Plus, the new manager needs to ensure that his squad is adjusting to his favored style, a 3-5-2 formation that Juan Mata believes could take up to two months to master.
So discipline is necessary. For the first leg of United's pre-season tour, van Gaal insisted that the Holiday Inn be booked so that players could eat and rest after morning training, then be available for the afternoon's second session. It is unclear whether they returned to their swooshy Beverly Wilshire Hotel for their nightly shut-eye, however.
New hotels have also been booked in Washington D.C. and Detroit, ensuring United will be able to continue with their double sessions. In Denver, it was imperative that the hotel contain an area where the players could all be seated together as they ate, with their meals made to van Gaal's specifications.
None of this is new, of course. Players are meant to train intensely, and ever since Arsène Wenger arrived in the Premier League, much more attention has been given to their diet. The way it's being covered, however, suggests that David Moyes, and possibly even Sir Alex Ferguson, didn't put quite as much emphasis on discipline in the squad.
That discipline has even been carried over to the pitch, with players ordered to speak only English while on the field. The way Mata says, "The manager says we have to speak in English," implies such a rule did not exist last season. It makes sense when you think about van Gaal's insistence that the team focus on unity — a common language is likely needed to ensure the team is moving as one.
Will this sort of discipline be enough for Manchester United to mount a title challenge? Or is there still other work that needs to be done?

Aspen Mountain has announced they will open five days early, starting the season this Saturday, November 22. Originally scheduled to open on Thanksgiving Day, a recent storm, which brought 21 inches of fresh snow to the area, has allowed the resort to open early.

Created by Tom Sims in 1963 in his 7th grade woodworking class, this is what many claim as the original snowboard.

The four-day event will feature many of the world's best international snowboard athletes, including all four snowboard superpipe and slopestyle gold medalists from the Sochi Olympics.
Pat and Jake (Director of Mr. Plant) were semi-recently in Denver to premiere their new film, Mr. Plant. Beers were had, movies were played, and conversations were recorded. Things may have gotten out a little weird at the end, but it's fitting as Mr. Plant is no ordinary movie.

Kingman letter: Huff and Puff
Time for more statistics. The recent sentencing by a local judge appeared to be interpreted as a positive gesture from the law toward the legalization of marijuana. Now, without prejudice to any political party, let's look at recent polls. The Huffington Post has associated with YouGov for polling. Now the Huffington Post is, by their own admission, liberal leaning. YouGov, on the other hand, is a reputable polling organization in Britain. One of their recent combined polls, conducted at the end of October 2013, asked the following question: ""f marijuana were legal in your state, how often would you buy it?"
Here were the results: often - 4 percent of YouGov readers and 45 percent of Huffington Post readers; sometimes - 10 percent of YouGov readers and 30 percent of Huffington Post readers; rarely - 12 percent of YouGov readers and 10 percent of Huffington Post readers; never - 71 percent of YouGov readers and 13 percent of Huffington Post readers.
Pay attention here. Huffington Post measured their readers and YouGov sampled all Americans over 18. It has nothing to do with medical marijuana. Look it up.
There are other pieces of data but it appears that the overwhelming majority says "never" (71 percent.) So, what we have is apparently a judge trying to apply a sentence that is being grossly misinterpreted as representing a shift in the American population in the purchase of marijuana. Care to dispute verifiable statistics and polling results in favor of your individual agendas?

In recent years, employers have faced an onslaught of Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) class-action lawsuits over allegedly unpaid overtime. While a lawsuit by one or two former employees won't likely amount to much, employer liability increases dramatically when those suits turn into class actions.
Employees and their lawyers have been taking advantage of state laws that typically allow one plaintiff to represent all "similarly situated" employees unless those employees opt out of the lawsuit. But the Fair Labor Standards Act allows class actions only if employees opt in: that is, decide to join the lawsuit.
Now, a second district court in the 3rd Circuit has dismissed combined state and federal overtime class-action lawsuits. In Otto v. Pocono Health Systems (No. 4:06-CV-1186), the Middle District of Pennsylvania joined the District Court of New Jersey in ruling that when both state and federal overtime laws are at the heart of a lawsuit, only those employees who opt in will be part of the case.
Look for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals to make a definitive decision.

"I just receive the St. Florian medal I had ordered. When you say one day shipping you are not kidding. I ordered this on Wednesday morning 12/21 and it was delivered on Thursday 12/22. The medal is absolutely beautiful. I had this done in Sterling Silver and when I opened the box I was totally blown away. Everything from the engraving to the medal itself is just magnificent. I have a firefighter friend that I am giving this medal to for Christmas. I know he will absolutely love it. Thank you so much for the service as well as the beautiful medal. Happy holidays to all of you."

"I needed an emergency, special present for my recently widowed almost 90 year old Mom. I called local stores, malls, jewelers, photographers, etc. and all told me 4 - 6 weeks, even 4 - 8 weeks, despite my urgency. A very kind sales clerk gave me this website(I am sure her boss is thrilled!) The color engraved heart with my Mom's favorite photo of my parents is exquisite. Daniel promised me, through my worries, that he would get it to me on time and IT ARRIVED EARLY!! Thanks for your wonderful product and terrific service. Despite my Mom's sadness, I am sure this special remembrance will help her. Thank you again."

"I have had a great experience with this company. I am so happy with the product I received and how fast I received it. I have been looking to get a certain charm for my 15 year old son for about two years. I was looking for a number in sterling silver. I have seen quite a few different ones over the two years but they were never what I wanted to get him and I was never happy with them. I have ordered and sent back at least four of them. I by mistake stumble upon your website. And I am so grateful I did. You had exactly what I wanted to get him. I am so pleased. I just know he will love it. I am so grateful. I am also so grateful for the sped of processing my order than making it and getting it to me. When I ordered pre-made numbers from jewelry stores it took anywhere from 2 weeks to a month before I received it. But with you I received it in 3 day total. I ordered it Wednesday and got it Friday. I was amazed. All I want to say is thank you so much for helping me make my son happy this Christmas. It means a lot to me. Thank you again. And marry Christmas."
-- Lonnie
"The customer service for this company is outstanding! UPS lost/misdelivered 2 heart lockets that I ordered for xmas. UPS wouldn't help me at all. I called Pictures on Gold's support and within 2 days, I had the 2 lockets in my hands. I will absolutely do business with this company again.
Our 15 yr old dog passed away and my daughter has taken it very hard. She keeps a small stuffed animal in her backpack for when she gets sad. Now she will always have this special momento that she can wear and keep close to her heart."

"Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics" September 14, 2007
By Jeff Nielson
Don't believe everything you read.
We have all heard the expression "statistics can be used to say anything." In fact, this is not true. A statistic is a numerical representation of an event, trend, or simply some data aggregate. As such, it can never be anything other than what it specifically represents - nothing more, nothing less.
We are a society of statistics. Statistics allow us to 'see the big picture'. They guide governments and corporations in their policies and decision-making, as well as the decision-making of each of us, as individuals.
Where statistics acquire their bad reputation is through the (faulty) analysis - or extrapolation - attached to statistics; or, through the use of statistics which are based on flawed data. In the case of the former, the examples of faulty analysis inevitably outnumber the instances of disciplined, accurate analysis by a factor of (at least) ten to one.
Our ineptitude in employing statistics – despite their prevalence and importance – is rooted in a number of causes. There are technical issues, which generally involve the complex, mathematical aspects of statistics, which are neither known nor understood by the vast majority (including many of the people creating and using statistics!). Primarily, however the misuse of statistics is a failure of logic.
Logic is an analytical tool as important as statistics, themselves. However; it is not taught in schools. The principles of logic are even less-understood than those of statistics. Consequently; we take statistics which are 'pure' numerical representations, and 'pollute' them with logical interpretations and extrapolations which are nothing short of laughable.
Mistakes employing statistics are inevitable. What is far more regrettable (and dangerous) is the deliberate misuse of statistics – 'polluting' a statistic in order to make it a tool of propaganda. The beauty of lying with statistics (in the eyes of the liar) is that such deceptions almost always provide plausible deniability – if confronted, the liar insists he is guilty of nothing worse than misinterpretation, rather than deliberate deception.
It is up to each of us, therefore, to be on our guard. First, we must learn to think for ourselves. When a 'number' is thrown at us, often with multiple conclusions attached; we must examine the raw data and carefully consider whether the 'number' actually validates the analysis based upon it.
An example of faulty analysis is in the U.S. housing market. There are many to choose from here, but let's pick the "construction of new homes" statistic, since it is an easy one. While this reading has been generally declining throughout the last year, there have been occasional upward "blips."
In one recent blip, a plethora of "experts" pointed to the increase in this statistic as an indication of stabilization in the collapsing U.S. housing sector. While an extremely superficial analysis might conclude this to be a reasonable view, it becomes immediately obvious how foolish such an extrapolation is when viewed in context. In a sector with declining sales and prices, the inventories of unsold homes were already at or near all-time record highs (depending on which statistic you use). What could be worse news than a new statistic that showed a significant addition to already-bloated inventories?
As the preceding example illustrates; correct statistical analysis often requires more than simply sound logic. General knowledge concerning the subject in question is also necessary, along with mathematical expertise in the many instances where statistics are the product of detailed and complex calculations (such as calculating the Gross Domestic Product of an economy).
When we lack the necessary general knowledge or statistical training, we are at the mercy of the person who produces the statistic – with no way of ascertaining whether we are being fed with information or deceived and manipulated with propaganda.
In my next discussion of the misuse of statistics, I will delve into what could be the greatest single deception of our modern society – accomplished almost entirely through the subtle distortion of one number.

Tottenham set to cash in on flop Roberto Soldado as Spurs target Loic Remy and Jay Rodriguez
Published: 29 May 2014
Updated: 15:04, 29 May 2014
Atletico Madrid want to rescue Roberto Soldado from his Tottenham nightmare and sign the striker as a replacement for Diego Costa.
Soldado endured a miserable season after signing from Valencia last summer in a deal worth up to £26million.
He scored just six Premier League goals and neither of Tottenham's managers, Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood, could get the 29-year-old to repeat the form which saw him net 59 times in La Liga during the previous three years at Valenicia.
New boss Maurico Pochettino is believed to be prepared to listen to offers for the forward while Soldado is also understood to be keen to return to Spain with sources suggesting he is willing to take a pay-cut to secure the move.
Atletico are on the look-out for a new striker as they are set to lose their top scorer Costa to Chelsea for £32m. They tried to sign Soldado last year, but were outbid by Tottenham and ended up buying David Villa from Barcelona.
Significantly, the asking price will not be as high as expected as Spurs paid Valencia only £13m up front, with the rest of the fee depending on various targets. But such was Soldado's minimal impact this term, he is available for around the £13m fee spent on his initial transfer.
A switch to the Spanish capital would appeal to him, having already played there for Getafe and Real Madrid.
Atletico are looking at other targets, however, including Chelsea duo Romelu Lukaku and Fernando Torres, as well as Porto star Jackson Martinez, Sevilla's Carlos Bacca and Manchester City's Alvaro Negredo.
Pochettino, who signed a five-year contract to take charge at White Hart Lane earlier this week, will be handed up to £50m to spend.
He is expected to raise more funds by selling some of the fringe members of the squad and Soldado's departure would provide significant revenue.
The need to improve the striking options is one of his main priorities and the club have already made an offer for Queens Park Rangers' Loic Remy, who was on loan at Newcastle this season.
Remy is available for £8m, although has made it clear his preference is to join a club in the Champions League.
Soldado's departure would leave Emmanuel Adebayor and Harry Kane as the only first-team strikers.
Pochettino has already been linked with some of his former players at Southampton, including Adam Lallana, but a bid for England international Jay Rodriguez is more likely.
The 24-year-old fits chairman Daniel Levy's preferred profile of being young and English. He scored 17 goals this season and was in contention to be part of the World Cup squad before sustaining a serious knee ligament injury.

Congratulations DailyBooth!
Plurchase launches!
Nice Reuters article on RentHop. The RentHop guys are focused on NYC-area rentals right now, but plan to expland to other cities. I wish this was around when I was in my 20s and rented a place in NYC.
During Justin.TV's early days, the four founders shared a two-bedroom apartment, working in shifts so that someone was awake to manage the site, even when Kan wasn't. Amazingly, this odd experiment attracted a loyal, Truman Show-esque following -- at any given time there would be hundreds of people watching Kan -- and a raft of press attention. Just weeks after going on the air, Kan was interviewed wearing his camera on the Today show, and dozens of media mentions followed. "It was mindboggling," Vogt says. "I'd wake up at 3 p.m., wander out into the living room in my boxers and there'd be a camera crew there."
Later that year, Kan turned off the cameras and opened his site up to all manner of live broadcaster, a move that caused traffic to surge. Today, the site hosts 40,000 broadcasts every day -- broadcasters have included the Jonas Brothers, Stephon Marbury, and Rep. Ron Paul -- and attracts some 31 million visitors a month. That translates to a staggering 50 million hours of video shown per month. "It's a far cry from when it was just Justin," says Seibel, the company's CEO. "We have the most used live video system in existence."
What's next for Justin.TV? Well, profits, for one thing. Right now, the company makes money through advertising and a $9.99 per month fee for broadcasters who want to show live videos without any ads. But the plan is to increase revenues -- and get to profitability -- by handling live video operations on other people's websites. Organizers of a sporting event or a rock concert, for instance, would be able to use Justin.TV's system, paying a fee based on how much bandwidth used. There's also a payment processing system in the works that would let broadcasters offer pay-per-view streams, while paying Justin.TV a transaction fee. "It'd be nice to say this is how we planned it out," Kan says. "But that's not true. Having a start-up is all about being able to see what works and change your idea."
Coming soon: updated YC Posterous theme!
The Best Deal In Startup Land
Sarah Lacy has a post up on Techcrunch about Paul Graham and Y Combinator. In the post, she says:
I've been a bit hard on Paul Graham and Y Combinator in the past. It's not that I think he hasn't been a great mentor to young entrepreneurs– he has. But that's a lot of equity to give up and to date no Y Combinator company has really hit it huge.
I read that and went right to the comments and wrote:
it's not a lot of equity to give up considering what he does for the YC companies. in fact, i think its the best deal in startup land
Our firm has investments in two YC backed companies, Disqus and HeyZap, and hope to make many more. We've been attending demo days since the very early days of Y Combinator and we've paid pretty close attention to what Paul and Jessica do and how they do it.
You could say that giving up 6% for $25k is a bad deal, that it values the business at less than $500k. But that would only be true if all you got from Y Combinator was $25k.
The cash is the smallest part of the Y Combinator value proposition. I've met dozens of Y Combinator backed entrepreneurs and every single one of them has come away from the experience with a really good mindset on the startup process. They have a set of core beliefs which come from Paul and Jessica. They are lean, mean, and focused on the right things. They are almost always strong technical teams and they are often working on interesting problems.
And on top of all that, they have the Y Combinator "seal of approval" and they have Paul and Jessica tirelessly working on their behalf to raise the next round of funding.
I am not going to try to value all of that, but I can tell you this. It is worth a multiple of $25k and it is the best deal in startup land.
But maybe the best thing Paul and Jessica have done for startup land is inspire a whole bunch of fast followers. I don't think I can name them all right now as I am racing to get on a plane, but there are at least a half dozen quality programs that follow the Y Combinator model to some degree. So we now have hundreds of entrepreneurs every year going through one of these programs. That is a huge development and is making a difference. We may not have seen any of these companies IPO yet, but that will happen. It is just a matter of time.
Thanks, Fred!

Condom portrait of Benedict XVI attracts attention
The piece by Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design instructor Niki Johnson is a commentary on the artist's views on sex and the former pope's statements about condoms.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin artist is drawing international attention, some of it negative, for one of her creations: a portrait of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI constructed out of 17,000 colorful condoms.
The piece by Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design instructor Niki Johnson, a kind of latex embroidery, is a commentary on the artist's views on sex and Benedict's statements on condoms, including the now famous 2009 quote while on a trip in Africa stating that condoms increase the spread of AIDS.
Johnson, who described herself as a "curious agnostic" and described the piece as "cheeky and irreverent, but not hateful," said she means no disrespect to the past pontiff, but instead hopes to spark conversation about social issues, including sex and inclusion.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee took a measured tone toward the portrait. Spokesman Jerry Topczewski said: "The Catholic Church has always been open to frank conversations about human sexuality, especially regarding the morality that comes with the choices people make in their individual lives and understanding that, along with those choices comes an inherent responsibility to live as God has created us, respecting the dignity of all human persons."
Johnson's commentary on her blog is in one way in sync with Roman Catholic teaching.
She says, in part: "Healthy sexual choices are at the root of creating a healthy nation."
However, the church and the artist differ on what constitutes "healthy."
The church holds that sex is a gift to be expressed only between a man and a woman in the confines of marriage. Johnson, who lives in Shorewood, Wis., says: "Love in all of its colors, partners and kinky curiosities is to be enjoyed by those who are in it."
The piece, which Johnson began in 2009, will be displayed in June at the Portrait Society Gallery in Milwaukee as part of a larger show on feminist art involving the groundbreaking Martha Wilson.
Gallery owner Debra Brehmer, who called the piece "really commanding and actually quite respectful," sees it as a commentary on the way social issues are intertwined with and shaped by religion. "It's been part of these discussions forever, and it's worth talking about," she said.

If you crave a oven baked pizza then I would recommend getting a pizza from Italiano Pizzeria.
The are great !
My husband and I love to seek out small, off the beaten path Italian restaurants wherever we travel. Italiano was a great find. We very rarely repeat restaurants in order to try as many local things as possible but we ate at Italiano 3 times!!! The Tomatoes Caprese were the best I've ever had. I'll dream about those tomatoes.
I've been to the restaurant a number of times, the first one was after my brother recommended I try their langustine (Icelandic lobster) pizza, named Como on the menu. It's delicious!
As with many other Icelandic places you order at the counter and get a glass + cutlery, there's free refills of fountain soda - but you have to get...
We ordered 2 pizza's which were ok, staff not super helpful - overall average experience, the cook
Was not wearing gloves when making the pizza bottems.

Guilty verdict in classified Cambodia papers case
A military jury on Friday convicted a Hawaii-based Army officer of unauthorized possession of classified documents and giving a document with classified assessments of Cambodia to a person not entitled to have it.
Associated Press
A military jury on Friday convicted a Hawaii-based Army officer of unauthorized possession of classified documents and giving a document with classified assessments of Cambodia to a person not entitled to have it.
A jury sentenced Maj. Seivirak Inson to 10 years confinement, along with dismissal from the Army and forfeiture of pay, the Army said.
A panel of seven Army officers returned the verdict against Inson after a four-day court martial at Wheeler Army Airfield.
The jurors convicted Inson, who was born in Cambodia, of possessing a U.S. Pacific Command maritime strategy document and other military intelligence documents that he wasn't authorized to have.
They found him guilty of failing to report to his chain of command contacts he had with Cambodian military and government officials.
His other convictions were for adultery and fraudulently signing a bank document.
Inson was acquitted of collecting information on service members of Cambodian descent with the intention of giving the information to Cambodian military and government officials.
He was also found not guilty of unlawfully striking an individual and choking a person.
Inson was assigned to the U.S. Pacific Command at the time of the alleged crimes, from 2008 through 2012. Inson is currently with the 8th Theater Sustainment Command at Fort Shafter.

Magician's End: Book Three of the Chaoswar Saga (Hardcover)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Thirty years ago Raymond E. Feist wrote his first novel, Magician—a story about an orphan boy named Pug who travels to a place known as the Kingdom of the Isles to study wizardry from the Master Magician Kulgan—that set him on a long bestselling track. Now after 29 books (authored and co-authored) we have reached the final book in the Riftwar, an epic series of battles between Good and Evil that have scarred the world of Midkemia for generations.
Pug—now the greatest magician of all time—must risk everything he has ever fought for and everything he has ever cherished in the hope of finally defeating an unspeakably evil enemy once and for all. To do so, he will pay the ultimate price . . . and save untold millions of lives.
About the Author

Praise for Magician's End: Book Three of the Chaoswar Saga…

NH takes aim at domestic violence with Joshua's Law
Thursday, Ranes joined Gov. Maggie Hassan in her office when she signed Senate Bill 318, or Joshua's Law.
"I'm proud that New Hampshire has finally joined the majority of states in establishing a specific crime of domestic violence, which will help law enforcement and prosecutors better identify and stop repeat abusers, while providing victims with access to support and protections as early as possible," Hassan said. "Though there is nothing we can do to alleviate her pain, enacting this law in Joshua's memory is an important step forward for the safety of our communities. Becky's advocacy is an inspiration for us all, and I thank her on behalf of the countless families and communities that will be helped by this measure."
Under current law, someone who assaults or threatens a domestic partner or family member is usually charged under one of 17 state statutes that include such crimes as simple assault, criminal threatening, kidnapping or stalking.
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice, in testifying in favor of the bill, has said the change would improve the accuracy of state records in domestic violence cases, which in turn would improve the likelihood that such cases would be properly adjudicated and reported to federal authorities.
Sen. Donna Soucy, D-Manchester, was the prime sponsor of the bill, which sailed through the Senate and House with bipartisan support.
