Control and elimination strategies
A number of activities are underway to prevent rabies occurrence in humans and to control rabies in dogs.
Latin America is an example of a region in which several countries have successfully controlled rabies. Since their formal pledge in 1983 to eliminate human deaths from rabies transmitted by dogs, the countries of the region have had a decrease of over 90% in rabies in dogs and hence a similar decrease in human deaths. This has been achieved predominately by mass vaccination of over 45 million dogs annually.
Other recent examples are in KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), the Visayas (the Philippines) and Bali (Indonesia).
- The KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa had been plagued by dog rabies for several decades. During 1983–2007, 79% of laboratory-confirmed human cases in South Africa occurred in this province, with a human population estimated at 10.6 million. The dog rabies elimination project illustrates the effectiveness of collaboration between the provincial government, donors (e.g. the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) and WHO. More than 1.5 million dogs have been vaccinated since the beginning of the project in 2009. In 2012, more than 630 000 dogs were vaccinated, the highest number immunized in a year by the provincial veterinary services. The occurrence of animal rabies has been halved in 3 years, with an initial decrease in human cases: for the first time in 20 years, KwaZulu-Natal reported in 2010–2011 a continuous 12-month period without a single human case. Despite many challenges, the project is now being extended across southern Africa, with renewed support and momentum.
- The regional programme for rabies elimination in the Visayas is part of the national rabies programme jointly implemented by the departments of agriculture, health and education and chaired by the agriculture department's Bureau of Animal Industry on the basis of the National Rabies Act 9482. The 'rabies-free Visayas' project is being carried out in collaboration with partners such as WHO, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) and the Optimus Foundation. The project involves vaccination of more than 3 million dogs over 5 years, and campaigns have been conducted in the Western Visayas, parts of Central Visayas including the island of Bohol and the Eastern Visayas. Intensive information and education campaigns are conducted to strengthen community support and volunteer engagement in order to increase dog vaccination and responsible pet ownership and improve clinical management of human rabies and surveillance and diagnostic capability. The number of human deaths from rabies in the Visayas has decreased significantly, from 48 cases in 2008 to 13 in 2012, a 70% reduction.
- Since the introduction of mass canine vaccination as the main strategy in Bali from late 2010, the numbers of human and animal cases of rabies have dropped dramatically: the number of human cases decreased by 72% between 2010 and 2011 and by 90% between 2010 and 2012. Two mass vaccination campaigns have been completed, and a third campaign is nearing completion. The feasibility of an islandwide vaccination campaign was demonstrated by a local nongovernmental organization, the Balinese Animal Welfare Association, with funding from the World Society for the Protection of Animals. The Government of Indonesia with technical assistance from the FAO assumes responsibility for the second and subsequent campaigns. The reasons for the success of the programme have been: a clear operational goal of vaccinating 70% of dogs in each locality on the island during each campaign; daily reporting of vaccination and post-vaccination survey results, by SMS and on paper; daily, weekly and monthly Government coordination meetings during vaccination campaigns; and campaign-specific standard operating procedures, with in-service training of field staff.

Egypt police disperse anti-Sisi student rally
By Yousri Mustafa, Wednesday, May 14, 2014
CAIRO – Egyptian police late Tuesday dispersed a rally staged by student supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi against a presidential bid by former army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi.
Security forces fired teargas to disperse students who rallied outside the Al-Azhar University dormitory in eastern Cairo to protest al-Sisi's candidacy and to call for the release of their detained classmates, eyewitnesses said.
Protesting students, meanwhile, fired fire crackers toward security forces, according to the witnesses.
Tuesday's rally was part of a "revolutionary wave" called by the pro-Morsi National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy to call for boycotting this month's presidential election.
Egyptians will elect a new president on May 26-27 in the second phase of a transitional roadmap imposed by the army following Morsi's overthrow.
Al-Sisi, widely seen as the architect of Morsi's ouster, and leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi are both vying for Egypt's highest office.
While al-Sisi enjoys wide popularity among certain segments of the public, he is reviled by supporters of the ousted president, who view Morsi's overthrow last July as a "military coup" against a democratically elected leader.

Adjusting a flat character:
1 keerruhn, Mon, 14th Mar '11 8:58:57 PM from Level 10
90s Pixel Mash-upWhen I started thinking about my project (an adventure series) I decided on three main characters - A timid hero named Theo, his girlfriend Aria and Mika, the outsider who pushes them out of their status quo and into adventure. However, as I've developed the story I've begun to have problems with the characters. Essentially it's a shonen project and I wanted to play with the archetypes (Theo's the hero who's too timid to act, Mika's the hero who's obssession with her goal often works to her detriment and Aria is the chick with the most common traits of the hero). As the projects progressed I've realised that Aria hasn't got a real journey in the story. Theo's journey has him slowly growing into a not so typical heroic role. Mika's goal is the backbone of the story and her journey is defined by that. Aria however hasn't progressed much passed being Theo's girlfriend. When I first created the character I wanted her to be the most powerful member of the group and that's a trait I want to keep but I'm having trouble defining her role. Aria travels alongside Theo because after growing up in an isolated village she has a yearning for adventure. As the story goes on we learn that the village's isolation is related to Aria's birth (they believe that her birth has ensured the village's survival and that if anything were to happen to her the good fortune would be reversed) and agents have been sent from the village to bring her back. At the moment she acts as a kind of middle ground between Theo & Mika, often quelling arguments between the two. Any advice? I feel like as a character she's going to come off as kind of flat compared to the other two. I'm open to anything at the moment.

2 Leradny, Mon, 14th Mar '11 9:58:48 PM from Alameda, CA
1) Have her decide to go back, willingly, either because she wants to change something about the isolation of her village and keep other people from feeling as stifled as her, or because she's had enough adventure to decide that it was exciting, but not something she felt like living for. 2) At the very least, write a few scenes where she goes off to do something without the other two. They don't need to go into the main story, it's just an exercise to see how she develops as a character.
Well, you could do one of the two things I do to flesh out flat characters: a) look at what I've had them doing and try to explain it from their perspective, based on their personality b) take a character idea in search of a plot and see if it fits them
If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.
4 Sand Josieph, Tue, 15th Mar '11 9:57:32 AM from Grand Galloping Galaday Relationship Status: Brony
Bigonkers! is MagicIf you hadn't started already I would have suggested combining the characters of Mika and Aria. The only advice I can offer at the moment is to have her get captured for the rest of the story so she's simply out of the way. That or kill her.
5 Ralph Crown, Tue, 15th Mar '11 12:11:56 PM from Next Door to Nowhere
Short HairOne way to flesh out a character is to start looking at things from her viewpoint and then ask questions. Does she want to be the savior of her village? Does she want these powers? If so, why? If not, why not? What lies does she tell herself? What truths does she reveal to her companions? What does she expect to gain from her adventures? What is she willing to lose? How will she change, and what will cause those changes? What will she learn or unlearn?
Under World. It rocks!
6 Sand Josieph, Tue, 15th Mar '11 12:15:58 PM from Grand Galloping Galaday Relationship Status: Brony
Bigonkers! is MagicAnd most importantly, what is her favorite pizza topping! What? Knowing what kind of pizza your character likes is a great way to build personality.
7 keerruhn, Fri, 18th Mar '11 8:06:57 AM from Level 10
90s Pixel Mash-upThanks a lot for all of the advice, it's come in really handy. I decided to go with the very first suggestion but I'm going to make it last for the majority of the story. I like the idea of the world outside of her village being a lot different than she would've expected and kind of playing with what that does to morale. Thanks again, you guys are awesome.

- Written by Christopher Fox Graham
- January 2nd, 2014
On Wednesday, Jan. 1, we published our year in review spread on Pages 6A and 7A.
In the midst of the plethora of news stories that made headlines in 2013 were two mentions of the Barbara Antonsen Memorial Park, which will eventually be built at Posse Grounds Park.
I use "eventually" in the loosest sense — the city approved plans for the park in 2001. That's not a typo — it was 2001.
Those set to graduate from Sedona Red Rock High School this May were just mere kindergartners 13 years ago.
Sedona has had six mayors since then.
Installing streetlights on State Route 89A, the Uptown Enhancement Project and redesigning State Route 179 from the Village of Oak Creek to the "Y" roundabout were proposed, planned and finished in less time.
So was the Sedona Performing Arts Center.
And the war in Iraq.
I hope that puts the time element into a tangible perspective. Rome wasn't built in a day — because it was a government project — but we're not building a continent-spanning empire, just a stage and some seats.
We got closer than ever in 2012. The dome that would one day become the Posse Grounds Pavilion collapsed while under construction that August. In 2013, the city went back to the drawing board and reopened ideas for a new design, which have yet to be presented to the public.
For more than a decade, consecutive Sedona City Councils have delayed the project or waited for studies or designs or public feedback to build what should be a small stage on an empty piece of land already allocated for a park.
This shouldn't be so hard.
Sedona City Council faces another election this November. Rather than waiting and hoping the new council will move on this matter, we residents of Sedona should demand City Council and city staff to finalize a simple design and get the park under construction, maybe even built by the end of the year.
The late Barbara Antonsen fought to save Posse Grounds Park area from development in the 1990s. She gave us the park we all now enjoy. We should honor what she did for our city and give her a park she would be proud to have seen.
Let's make it our city's official new year's resolution.

We should honor what Barbara Antonsen who fought TO SAVE THE 2 ACRE PARCEL of Posse Grounds Park for the City. She wanted to preserve that area for a small stage and seating areas for families which includes the hundreds of property owners living around the perimeter of Posse Grounds Park.0 Like

Where's NATO's Strong Response to Russia's Invasion of Crimea?
Why action -- not activity -- is the only way to put the brakes on Moscow.
As Russia completes its invasion and eventual annexation of Crimea -- and possibly threatens more Ukrainian territory -- one can be forgiven for asking, "Where's NATO?" With NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Washington this week, perhaps we'll find out.
NATO's job No. 1, set out in the Washington Treaty, is to defend the territory of its members. Beyond that, it has often served to project security and stability in Europe. It is the organization that faced down the Soviet Union without firing a shot, deterred nuclear Armageddon, and gave inspiration to dissidents and other democratic activists in Europe's East. NATO also stopped the killing in Bosnia and Kosovo, and helped over 100 million Central and East Europeans establish security as new, democratic, market-driven societies.
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, NATO has engaged successfully in crisis management, building far-reaching partnerships, bringing in 12 new members, shifting toward deployable, sustainable military capabilities, and attempting to build a relationship with Russia (despite Moscow's demonstrated antipathy).
No NATO territory has been invaded by Russia, so NATO's collective defense commitment has not been formally tested. But NATO allies in the East -- the Baltic States and Poland, for example -- are rightly worried about Moscow's intentions. And, perhaps even more importantly, non-allies -- such as Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan -- are watching to see whether NATO pushes back, or accedes to a revived Russian sphere of influence over pieces of the former Soviet Union.
As we approach the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ukraine has been invaded and NATO is almost invisible.
To be fair, NATO has been awash in activity. The North Atlantic Council (NAC) met in special session to discuss the crisis, and has issued three statements -- one where it treated Russia and Ukraine equally, calling upon "both parties to immediately seek a peaceful resolution through bilateral dialogue"; and another where it promised to "pursue and intensify [its] rigorous and on-going assessment" of the situation. In its third statement the NAC urged "the Russian Federation to de-escalate the situation."
NATO held meetings of the NATO-Russia Council (March 5) and the NATO-Ukraine Commission (March 2), and hosted a visit by Ukrainian interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk (March 6) at the alliance headquarters. The Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, comprising NATO and all Euro-Atlantic partners (including Russia and Ukraine) discussed the situation on March 14. Secretary General Rasmussen has made several press statements. NATO has cut back on cooperative exchanges with Russia, offered to increase partnership activities with Ukraine, and sent AWACs surveillance aircraft to southeast Europe to better observe the Russian offensive. On a national basis, the United States has increased its participation in Baltic air-policing, added to its air defense contingent in Poland, and sent a ship to conduct naval maneuvers with Romania and Bulgaria in the Black Sea.
Yet all that activity is just that -- activity. Missing is strategic purpose, coordinated action (not words) and real effect. Nowhere has there been a credible threat of action, which might deter Russia. As Russia gobbles up territory and conducts major exercises on the borders of the Baltic States and Ukraine, the United States talks about off-ramps, Washington and Brussels lumber toward phased, underwhelming sanctions, and NATO cuts back on cooperative activities. NATO seems to be stuck operating in the logic of partnership, rather than the logic of defense and deterrence.
Especially as Russia threatens to move into Eastern Ukraine -- and perhaps now also to annex Transnistria, from Moldova -- NATO needs to re-learn the logic of deterrence: the willingness to use force if necessary, and to decisive effect, in order to deter conflict. While Crimea may be lost already, deterrence is all the more relevant to prevent further Russian incursions into Ukraine and other areas of Eastern Europe.
Yet today, while NATO talks about de-escalation, Putin thinks in terms of escalation dominance -- something at which NATO used to excel, but refuses to consider today. If Putin persists, there is no one to stop him.
Clearly, the U.S. and EU strategy is to put in place travel, economic, and financial sanctions targeted against key people in the Russian leadership, oligarchs, and state-run businesses, rather than consider military steps. But Putin clearly believes he can weather these sanctions, up the ante, and outlast Europe and America's willingness to pursue them. Indeed, the list announced on March 17 -- intended to be a shot across the bow -- instead came across in Moscow as weakness.
By Putin's logic, the acquisition of territory is permanent and strategic; sanctions are temporary. Add to that his belief that Russia's potential countersanctions against Europe -- especially in energy -- will force the West to back down. Indeed, it's almost a game to him, with Putin now reportedly deciding which U.S. leaders he wants to sanction. Putin is not only undeterred, but eager to ride out whatever U.S. and EU sanctions are put in place.
Not so many years ago, members of NATO saw it as a critical goal to produce a joint policy, with coordinated action and statements, in order to concentrate effort and achieve strategic effect. Today, it appears that several allies aim instead to prevent NATO from making a strong statement or -- worse yet -- taking action, so as to avoid "escalating" the crisis.
NATO cannot function without U.S. leadership -- and with the United States studiously avoiding any suggestions of military response to Putin's military aggression, NATO is almost by definition on the sidelines.
Yet even if the United States were to suggest a far more robust NATO posture now, it would be an uphill climb. Berlin also wants to avoid a serious NATO policy backed up by action, and the de facto situation in Crimea and along Ukraine's eastern border is daunting for all Europeans. Ever since the former German chancellor -- now Gazprom employee -- Gerhard Schroeder was in power, Berlin has sought to minimize NATO's military engagement, political role, and any push-back on Russia. Angela Merkel has moved Germany toward a slightly tougher position, but only slightly.
Even with Allied hesitation, it would be far better for the United States to put the most significant security issue in Europe in 25 years squarely on the NATO agenda, rather than to acquiesce and keep NATO out of the picture. NATO is, after all, the essential venue for consultation among allies under the Washington Treaty.
In the wake of Russia's imminent annexation of Crimea, here are a few specific suggestions of what NATO -- with strong U.S. leadership and participation -- should and can do:
- Shift the logic of NATO action, from partnership to defense and deterrence.
- Issue an iron-clad statement articulating the absolute commitment of the alliance to defend the territory of all NATO member states, no exceptions.
- To back up this commitment to collective defense, update and put in place defense and exercise plans for each and every allied member, and strengthen air defense assets deployed to the Baltic states.
- Send NATO military forces (ground forces, not just AWACS planes) to NATO allied territory bordering Ukraine to conduct military exercises.
- Determine that any further assaults on Ukraine's territorial integrity beyond Crimea represent a direct threat to NATO security and, accordingly, issue a statement saying that any such efforts to break off more territory will be met with a NATO response.
- Task the NATO military authorities to draw up contingency plans in the event of a Russian military invasion or subversion of eastern Ukraine.
- In concert with the European Union, NATO should sell new military equipment to the Ukrainian armed forces, based on U.S. and EU loan guarantees.
- Also in concert with the European Union, agree to an embargo on arms sales to Russia, including French "Mistral" ships and German live-fire training gear.
- At Prime Minister Yatsenyuk's request, provide NATO-country advisors and trainers to assist the Ukrainian forces in defending their country.
- Expand intelligence sharing with the Ukrainian government, and allow Ukraine to post a military liaison at NATO's Supreme Allied Headquarters in Belgium, to facilitate real-time intelligence sharing with the Ukrainian armed forces.
- Counter increasingly rabid Russian propaganda pitched at ethnic Russians in Eastern Europe with increased funding for broadcasting outlets such as Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and local efforts -- such as Latvia's center of excellence in strategic communications.
None of these actions place U.S. or NATO ground troops in Ukraine. But together these actions, they may be sufficient to get Putin's attention. And if NATO shows unity of purpose and stands its ground, it can deter Putin from further land grabs and only then see a possible "de-escalation" of the crisis. None of this will happen with out determined, courageous U.S. leadership -- which is what makes NATO Secretary General Rasmussen's meetings in Washington this week so important.

Great Guana Cay House Rental Photos and Description
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)
Beachwatch is a spacious 3 Bedroom 2 Bath oceanfront home directly on the best section of Guana Cay's famous 5 mile beach. It is situated on a large 1 acre lot at the northwest corner of the Guana settlement, within easy walking distance of Nippers, Grabbers, the ferry dock, grocery store, and the liquor store. We have all the amenities of the other three bedroom oceanfront homes with a better location, and the best beach.
For those not familiar with Guana Cay, it is a barrier island located off of the main island of Abaco in the northeast Bahamas. It is accessed via a 35 minute ferry ride from Marsh Harbor, the third largest city in the Bahamas. Guana is a quiet, out of the way island with a fabulous 5 mile long white sand beach. It does have some nightlife in the form of three beachfront bars/restaurants, the most famous of which is Nippers. If you are looking for casinos, water parks, jets skis, etc, Guana is not for you. If you want quiet, relaxed, secluded beach time and great snorkeling or diving, Guana is for you.
For those familiar with Guana Cay, all you need to know is that Beachwatch is located on the beach about ¼ mile northwest of Nippers.
From the deck on top of the house, one can see far out into the Atlantic Ocean to the northeast, and all the way across the Sea of Abaco to Marsh Harbor to the southwest.
On the ocean side of the house, there is a large sundeck for relaxing and an outdoor table that seats 8 people. A walkway leads down to the white sugar sand beach, with a reef offshore a few hundred feet that offers excellent snorkeling.
The house is fully equipped with a gourmet kitchen, dishwasher, front loading washer/dryer, huge gas grill, full AC, ceiling fans, local and US telephone, free DSL internet, etc.
Beachwatch has all the amenities that you would expect in a deluxe rental, including a 26 KW auto start generator for the power outages that the Abacos are famous for.
Once you stay at Beachwatch, we think that you will agree that it is the best oceanfront rental value on Guana Cay

About Clark Lagow
This property is owned by Guana Batik, Ltd.
Clark Lagow purchased this house in 2004
Why Clark Lagow chose Great Guana Cay
The Abacos are only 165 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida. So getting there is fairly easy compared to locations further south such as the Virgin Islands. Until recently, it was occupied mostly by British Loyalists, who practiced fishing and boat building. The island is very laid back and friendly.
What makes this house unique
Well, first there is the great beach in front of the house. Just sunbathing on the beach reading your favorite book is very enjoyable. Then there is a nice snorkeling reef between Beachwatch and Nippers. Dive Guana will take you to some very nice dive sites in the general vicinity. If you like to sail, the Sea of Abaco is a nice place to do so, and sailboat rentals are available in Marsh Harbor. You can also rent a powerboat at Dive Guana and explore the whole Sea of Abaco (Man O War, Elbow Cay, etc.) on your own.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We love it here! The lookout is really cool. My favorite thing was swiming with a 5 foot ray. My favorite meal was coconut shrimp at Nippers.
Thanks for the stay!
We will be back!

Long before MP3 files and ringtones dominated the music realm of pop culture, sheet music was all the rage. From the 1850s through the 1950s, stores cropped up selling nothing but the stuff, with institutions like the Los Angeles Times giving away free printed songs as special supplements to its regular newspaper. The Los Angeles Central Library has since amassed the now-rare items into a sheet-music collection 50,000-pieces strong, providing a huge resource for professor Josh Kun, director of the Popular Music Project at USC Annenberg's Norman Lear Center, and his students to research material for a new book from Angel City Press: Songs in the Key of Los Angeles: Sheet Music from the Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library. … Read More
Dan Flavin's '"monument" on the survival of Mrs. Reppin': The Story Behind the Fluorescent Tubes
The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena is exhibiting an illuminating sculpture from its permanent collection by Dan Flavin: "monument" on the survival of Mrs. Reppin, and the story behind it is almost as interesting as the artwork itself. Flavin made the sculpture in 1966 while he had a show in Berlin at Rudolph Zwirner Gallery. That's when he met the eponymous Mrs. Reppin, a relative of Zwirner's who told Flavin she was a British citizen married to a German soldier and later interned by the Allies for not divorcing her German husband. Flavin was so taken by her story, he dedicated the sculpture to her. (The artist dedicated one of his early incandescent-light pieces to his twin brother who had passed away from polio.) … Read More

Lu Xinjian's Beautiful Abstract Paintings of Cities
Chinese artist Lu Xinjian, whose ongoing project "City DNA" we first spotted over at Lost at E Minor, re-imagines cities from all over the world as abstract, almost Keith Haring-like paintings, inspired by aerial views from Google Earth and bursting with color taken from the cities' national flags. The artworks seem almost mathematical, and they feel more like the cities they represent than we expected when we heard about the project — an effect that is hard to put a finger on but rings true nonetheless. Click through to see some of our favorite pieces from the series, and then be sure to head over to Xinjian's website for even more. … Read More

text: Opera Singer Sues, Claims Career Ruined by Surgery Causing Flatulence from UPI 22 Jan 2014 post a comment Share This: CINCINNATI, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- An opera singer says her career is threatened by flatulence and incontinence after a botched episiotomy done while giving birth at an Army hospital in Kentucky. Amy Herbst and her husband, Army Staff Sgt. James Herbst, sued the United States in federal court in Cincinnati. Herbst claims her opera career was postponed because of injuries caused by a nurse-midwife during the delivery of her first child, a boy, at a Fort Campbell hospital. Her suit alleges Tiffany Williams, a certified nurse-midwife, performed the surgical incision, used in childbirth, during the second stage of Hebst's labor, without Herbst's knowledge or consent, Courthouse News Service reported Monday. "No physician assessed or repaired the episiotomy," the suit claims. It added Herbst later "began to experience fecal urgency and incontinence, including periodic leaking of stool and excessive flatulence." Herbst, who has performed with the Nashville Opera, is unable to work "as a result of her incontinence and excessive flatulence," the suit says. The Herbsts seek $2.5 million in damages for medical malpractice and loss of consortium, Courthouse News Service said.

Cynthia Nixon Labels Her Homosexuality a "Choice"by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Cynthia Nixon finds herself in a bit of trouble within the gay community.
The actress - best known for her role as Miranda on Sex and the City, and in a committed relationship with Christine Marinoni - is profiled this week in The New York Times and tells the newspaper:
"I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line 'I've been straight and I've been gay, and gay is better.' And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice."
Cynthia Nixon has shaved her head for a role in a Broadway play. But that's not why the actress is making headlines.
Nixon made these comments around the same time Washington became the seventh state to legalize gay marriage, and she doesn't see her viewpoint as contrasting with the stance of many activists.
"A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it's a choice, then we could opt out," the actress says. "I say it doesn't matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.
"I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can't it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we're just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don't think that they should define the terms of the debate."
What do you think of Nixon's comments?
I think for some homosexuality can be a choice but those people are a minority within a minority. Most homosexuals I know wouldn't agree with what Cynthia says. Then again, I find women are sometimes more vague about their sexuality than men.
i am torn on this subject. I don't have a problem with homesexuals per se but I dont agreed with their lifestyle either. this is because it doesn't go with my religious beliefs. Another thing that doesn't mesh with my beliefs is judging others. i think that if we live our lives loving our neighbor like ourselves everything else would work out. by the way I am Jewish and follow the Kosher laws set out in Leviticus which I think is so strange that everyone keeps bringing them up here. god bless all of you. i am glad God will judge all of us because I know I am not qualified.
She is the first homosexual that I know of who had the courage and the grace to admit that homosexuality is a choice. And for that, I commend her for her honesty!! And I honestly respect and accept how she chooses to live her life, in spite of the fact that I do not agree with how she chooses to live her life. And I suppose her right to live that way. Most homosexuals are trying to brainwash the rest of the world into believing that people are born that way, which is total denial!
I am shocked at the ignorance I am reading here. A person's sexuality is part of how they are made and two consenting adults who love each other, whether gay, straight, or bi is never wrong. Openly choosing prejudice in the name of a religion is what is wrong, not love. I hope the bible thumpers realize that The Bible has been re-written countless times since its original Aramaec form, (which was also written by man.) so it is a different text from 2000 years ago. Each version has each writers opinion, not God's. And also, to those "holy rollers" here who bash gays, where is the Judge not, lest ye be judged? Also, if you are THAT into religion, then I hope you are not eating shrimp, or wearing mixed fiber fabrics, or adding cheese to your burger, because those are sins as well.
PT2 Being gay is no more a sin than being Black or being a republican. PLEASE educate yourself about my God before you start speaking on His behalf. Yes, I am gay and a christian. It's not an oxymoron or a double negative. It's just how He made me. How dare you compare homosexuality to murderers or any other criminal activity. Stop using the Bible as an excuse to subjugate, separate, control, injure or kill. Wait! That sounds just like slavery! If you think homosexuality is wrong, be woman or man enough to say that it's your opinion just like Cynthia Nixon is entitled to hers...whether we agree or not.
Wooooow! How did we get so lucky that all the idiots live in America where each and every citizen has the same rights, that is, until people start voicing opinions about how God sees things. For those of you who think you are intelligent enough to claim to know the Bible...are you aware that the word homosexuality did not exist when the Bible was originally written. Are you also aware that when the original Bible was written, there was no such word as abomination. I bet you also didn't know that in that same scripture that everyone wants to quote (homosexuality is an abomination), it says that eating shellfish is also an abomination. Crabs legs anyone? How about some shrimp?
Wow how original to quote the bible, like every homosexual hasn't heard it before. Perhaps you burn crosses in "colored peoples" yards as well. The skewed view points about others can be passed down from generation to generation. We aren't all equal, unless we are WASP.
@Telly: The only problem with the examples you give is that lying, stealing, and killing harm others whereas being homosexual doesn't.
blaize is the only person here who makes any sence! we all live the way we live. if "god" wanted us to live the way the bible says we have to then he wouldnt have created this little thing called FREE WILL
1. Of course we have to judge especially of Nature's law of making a baby requires a penis with real sperms and a real vagina with eggs and baby-making system if you leave out all the artificial ways we humans can make babies now.
2. Of course gays can go to heaven if they work hard to accept that they were born and then chose to express their love in the same-sex equation that can never produce babies. Gays can learn to be happy that they are out of the closet, love straights people who hate them for fear of going against Nature's law to make children, volunteer, not sexually molested straight people because it's more vile when a straight boy gets sexually molested by a Man or a straight girl gets sexually molested by a lesbian, go to college, save money, donate. Do all of these while being gay and gays will go to heaven for their effort to work
hard in being good loving gay humans.

YORK CITY -- Most of the capital city of Freetown, Sierra Leone has been retaken by an African
intervention force. The city had been captured by rebel forces in an extension
of the civil war that began there in 1991. There are still reports of sporadic
rebel attacks. There are several hundred United Methodist Church congregations in Sierra Leone, under the episcopal leadership of
Bishop Joseph C. Humper, in Sierra Leone. Three of the country's largest
congregations are among the churches located in Freetown.
So far, we have been unable
to establish contact with Bishop Humper or with United Methodist Church members in Sierra Leone. Communication by phone, fax or
e-mail is impossible at this time because the telephone building, it is
reported, has been blown up. According to news reports, officials in Sierra Leone hope to have phone service restored
by the weekend.
We remain hopeful that
Bishop Humper, our church members and all the people of Sierra Leone are safe. We at the Board of Global
Ministries continue to pray for their safety and ask that United Methodists
around the world join us in prayer.
The Rev. Dr. Frank Horton
and his wife Carolyn, United Methodist missionaries assigned to Freetown by the General Board of Global
Ministries, have relocated to Liberia until the situation in Sierra Leone stabilizes. They were able to leave
Sierra Leone before the approaching rebels
reached Freetown but expect to return as soon as
possible. The Hortons, assigned to teaching positions at the Theological Hall
in Freetown, are members of the Kentucky Annual
Neither the U.S. State
Department nor the United Nations have been able to provide us with any first
hand information about the situation. We have received reports of the situation
in Sierra Leone via the BBC and will provide reports
from United Methodist Church members there as soon as we can
make direct contact.
It is reported that
hundreds of people have been killed, that corpses are lining the streets of the
capital, that people are being used by combatants as human shields, and that
hundreds of thousands more people are trapped in their homes, with little or no
food, water, and electricity. A humanitarian crisis looms as these people face
starvation trapped behind rebel lines with soldiers leaving no path open for
relief supplies to be brought in.
GBGM Deputy General
Secretary Paul Dirdak, who heads UMCOR, the
United Methodist Committee on Relief, has assured me that UMCOR is monitoring
the situation and, as always, stands ready to provide whatever assistance is
needed as soon as a path is cleared for the delivery of aid. In the meantime,
you may make donations to Advance
#181205-1, Sierra Leone Emergency. Health Kits and Medicine Boxes also will be needed for relief efforts as
soon as the country is opened to receive aid. Material resources should be
shipped to the UMCOR Depot in Baldwin, LA. Anything you do to help alleviate
the human suffering caused by the war will be greatly appreciated.
The General Board of Global
Ministries has enabled United Methodist conferences and
churches from around the world to be in mission partnership with the Sierra
Leone Annual Conference through many, many health, education, economic, and
agricultural ministries. These ministries include the Kissy Eye Clinic in Freetown, several health centers and women's
training centers, Pa Lokko village for children in Kissy, Albert Academy for boys and Harford School for girls. Harford was relocated to
Freetown in 1991 when the war began.
Operation Classroom, a program started in 1987 by United
Methodist churches in several U. S. conferences, has organized work teams to
build and repair schools, provided volunteer teachers, scholarships, equipment,
books and supplies, and conducted training seminars for teachers in the
church's secondary schools in Sierra Leone.
The Sierra Leone Annual
Conference also has provided food, clothing, shelter, and medical supplies to
tens of thousands of refugees from war-torn Liberia.
Although many of the
buildings housing the conference's ministries were destroyed in earlier
fighting, under the leadership of Bishop Humper,
church leaders and church members have continued to work hard to rebuild and renew
congregations and to provide a healing ministry to United Methodists and others
who have been ravaged, traumatized, and scattered by war.
The vigorous evangelism
that has always undergirded the various ministries of the church has resulted
in a vibrant and growing United Methodist Church that survives and rebuilds after
even the harshest blows of war. The Sierra Leone Annual Conference has nearly
300 United Methodist Churches and more than 75,000 church
members. In times of crisis we are especially grateful for the spiritual and
healing presence of our church to spread the word, nurture the spirit, and
nourish the hope of a beleaguered people.
Our work in Sierra Leone is vital, it is urgent, and it is
God's will that it be done. We will continue to be in solidarity with and in
prayer for the safety and well-being of our Bishop, our church members, and all
Sierra Leoneans who have been so victimized by the fighting. We ask that you
include them in your prayers, and that you also pray that the moment is near
when we are once again able to talk with and physically embrace our brothers
and sisters in Sierra Leone.
As is always the case with
war, the situation is complex and information is meager. We will do our very
best to keep you informed as the situation develops. We urge you to look at
sites on the web that are carrying news about the war in Sierra Leone and to
share that information with others so that they will be aware of the enormity
of the situation and the desperate need for all United Methodists to respond.
