someone forgot to save their trade.
3 scenarios for the draft, starting with my favorite first:
1. Pacers trade up for Justice Winslow
2. Take WCS or Stanley Johnson (this is the theory of a player falling); Make trades (Hibbert/West/others) for additional picks - George Lucas and Rakeem Christmas are players I'd love to have with a late first/early 2nd round
3. Trey Lyles
I'm sure my opinion will change many times before the draft though.

A Revised Take on Palestinian Refugees
Essay enhances indictment of post-'48 Arab governments
A fascinating scholarly essay crossed my transom, and I'd like to recommend it as a weekend read. It concerns the famous quotation, "Arab leaders don't give a damn whether the refugees live or die." As the right-of-return continues to be a central Palestinian demand, the issue remains resonant. The line is commonly attributed to one Ralph Galloway, a British U.N. official who tried to tackle the post-1948 Palestinian refugee crisis.
Except there was no Ralph Galloway. As authors Alexander H. Joffe and Asaf Romirowsky show, the statement was made by Lt. General Sir Alexander Galloway, a Scotsman who spent significant time in pre-Israel Palestine and, what's more, had extensive experience dealing in refugee issues in post-World War II central Europe—where he served as nothing less than the commander-in-chief of British forces in Austria, where there were an estimated 138,000 refugees. In 1952, he was removed from his post at the U.N. Relief and Works Agency at Jordan's request because he had so vocally agitated for Arab governments to assume a level of responsibility for Palestinian refugees commensurate with postwar European governments and displaced Germans, including Jews.
The authors conclude:
Misunderstanding the identity of Galloway blunts the importance of his 1952 statement. Galloway was no mere international civil servant or bureaucrat. His experience as a leader of complex organizations and administrator in highly political situations was second to none. Galloway was familiar with refugee crises far larger and more dire than the Palestinians, as well as related exigencies of conventional warfare and insurgencies. He had also contended with complex politics in colonies, occupied territories and between superpowers. What he had not encountered was a situation where nominally supportive states maintained refugees in that condition and where refugees themselves demanded to remain homeless pending an ever-receding chance for repatriation. …
The European experience Galloway brought to UNRWA, which must have seemed so fitting in prospect, developed in a wholly different context. When seen from the perspective of a British administrator like Galloway, who had helped facilitate the repatriation and resettlement of hundreds of thousands of refugees [in] the context of escalating political tensions, the Arab states' response to the Palestinians and UNRWA was simply intolerable.

Diabetes Health Center
Insulin Injection Areas
Look at the dark pink areas on these pictures to find areas of the body where insulin is injected. Inject insulin into:
- The abdomen, but at least 2 in. (5.1 cm) inches from the belly button. The abdomen is the best place to inject insulin, because your abdomen area can absorb insulin most consistently.
- The top outer area of the thighs. Insulin usually is absorbed more slowly from this site, unless you exercise soon after injecting insulin into your legs.
- The upper outer area of the arms.
- The buttocks.
Rotate the location of the injection, and slightly change the injection spot each time you inject insulin. Using the same spot every time can form bumps or pits in the skin. For example, inject your insulin above your belly button, then the next time use your upper thigh, then the next time below your belly button.

This article discusses some resources that may help you understand Web services security when you design Web services, implement Web services, and deploy Web services.
This article also discusses configurable values that can help make sure that Web service performance is efficient and that can permit all users to have equal access to a particular Web service. These configurable values can also help protect Web services against particular denial of service conditions.
More information
Consider security when you design Web services, build Web services, and deploy Web services. You can subject Web services, like Web applications, to spoofing conditions or to denial of service conditions. Visit the following Microsoft Web site for more information about how to prevent these conditions:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/security/aa570415.aspxDenial of service conditions may occur when valid SOAP requests are sent to your Web service, and these SOAP requests cause the application, or the XML parser, or both to perform extensive processing. The denial of service conditions can cause the Web server that receives the SOAP request to become extremely busy. Therefore, your service may not be able to handle other requests efficiently.
The time that the application, or the XML parser, or both spend parsing and processing a SOAP message is frequently based on the size of the message. Therefore, it is a good idea to restrict the size of a message to help avoid denial of service conditions. By default, the maximum permitted message size is 4 MB. It may be appropriate to reduce this size to the maximum size that your application requires. Also, consider reducing the maximum message size for public Web services that accept requests from unauthenticated sources.
You can configure the maximum message size by using the maxRequestLength value on the <httpRuntime> element in the Machine.config file. The following code sample shows the default settings from Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 of the Machine.config file:
For example, if you want to limit the message size for your Web service to 100 KB, add the following code:

(helps us keep a count to help with food prep)
Buy stuff or become a sponsor here
Come on out to the desert for four fabulous days (and nights) of dualsport riding.
March 8 - 11, 2012
Triangle T Guest Ranch, Dragoon Mountains, Southern Arizona
We've held this event the last weekend in February in the past but have bumped it into March this year to take advantage of the FULL MOON for some added night rides. You asked for it, we listened!
This is a great opportunity to meet some of the various dual sport riders in person who hang out on the online forums.
Let's spend four days in Southern Arizona exploring the great trails, forest roads, food and fun.
Enjoy the chance to ride with other folks or ride by yourself. Maybe you'll learn a few tricks or discover a new road.
You'll definitely meet interesting folks, BS about bikes, eat some good food and do some great riding!
Camping at the Triangle T includes HOT BREAKFAST and HOT SHOWERS!
Check out the website (www.dualsportdesertdaze.com) for more info!
I can't make it this year, I'll be in Indiana, but forwarded to some other dirty riders.
Thanks for update, Dace.
Me and the Elf will come, just found out about this. Should be a blast
Couple of questions - is there good riding for exploring backroads, jeep roads, etc, not hardcore stuff, might have a fairly new rider along? And, I noticed the guest ranch seems close to I-10. Is there noise from the I-10 when you stay there? Thanks! :freaky
In. I'll be bringing the cracker box and will need a site with full hookups. Do you arrange that or should I call the Triangle T?
Thanks Drizzt for the quick replies!
Correct on plenty of easy stuff (check out the RIDES link at www.dualsportdesertdaze.com).
Correct that I-10 is not at all noticeable. I don't recall hearing the highway, ever.
Yes, there are definitely RV hook-ups available. Give the TriangleT a call to reserve a site.
Can't wait to join you guys an meet some people. I don't live too far off in Benson so I may only stay over one night but I'll definitely be up for some riding. Any suggestions as to which night would be the best to stay?
Saturday night is the raffle drawing! :clap
Plus, it snows on Sunday and that's always fun!
Some of the maps look like the rides are almost as far away as where I'm coming from in the East Valley (Coke Ovens). With a 2.5 gallon tank on my 450, I think that kind of mileage/distance is out of the question.
Are there any trails close to the camp that would be do-able with under 100 mile range that aren't level 6 "hero" rides, or do I bring the GSA and forget the 450? I'm not riding the little bike for 2 hours on the slab.
There are PLENTY of do-able, non-hero rides in the immediate vicinity of the Triangle T. One's that are longer than 100 miles total also come within range of gas stations so range shouldn't be an issue. The 450 will be tons of fun, whether heading through the ranches north of the Triangle T or heading south down to the border road.
I'll probably be there Friday evening and all day Sat/Sun. Looking at the suggested rides on their site...I've done most of the local stuff and have some other cool places to check out if anyone is interested. I'm limited to rides less than 110 miles as I'm running the stock tank of my XRL. Maybe by then I'll have a bigger one though.
I'm in !!! :freaky
I'm in, with RV spot reservation, unless I get sent to Europe on a business trip that week. Will trailer the 1200 and the TE449 for a little of both worlds!
Raven, the ranch lady doesn't seem to know where you got the camping (tent) and food info, she is looking for you. Seems to be a disconnect somewhere.
Thanks - I'll check in with her again.

Two cases involving former Sheriff's Department employees were in court Friday, with both cases being continued for later this month.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Jose Rigoberto Sanchez, 28, of Valencia, was arrested and booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station on July 30.
He stands accused of sexual penetration under the color of authority, rape under fear or duress and soliciting a bribe from alleged victims.
Juan Ortiz, 55, was an employee of the Sheriff's Department for 13 years, assigned to the laundry detail. He was one of 10 charged in a complaint.
Ortiz was arrested at Pitchess Detention Center, South Facility, by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau personnel after a brief investigation.
After he was arrested, Ortiz resigned from the Sheriff's Department.
Sanchez is expected back in court Dec. 19, when a preliminary hearing is expected to be scheduled for his trial. The hearing date would likely be some time next year, according to officials.
Ortiz is due back for a preliminary hearing Dec. 16.
At a preliminary hearing, the case against a defendant is presented to a judge who decides if a trial is warranted.
After an extensive investigation by the District Attorney's Justice System Integrity Division, Sanchez was charged with soliciting a bribe from a female driver he pulled over in Palmdale while on duty on Sept. 22, 2010.
Sanchez allegedly offered not to arrest her on an outstanding warrant in exchange for sex.
Two nights later, he pulled over another female on suspicion of DUI and allegedly solicited a bribe in the form of sexual activity.
Sanchez was relieved of duty with pay after the alleged incident in 2010, and was relieved of duty without pay when he was booked.
Sanchez is being held for 11 felony charges.
Sanchez, a seven-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was most recently assigned to patrol at the Palmdale Sheriff's Station.
The six-month ICIB investigation into the 2010 incident began after investigators received a tip from an informant, according to a Sheriff's Department statement.

Economists at California State University, Fresno recently published a study on the current and future economic impacts of oil production from the Monterey Shale Formation (MSF) in the San Joaquin Valley. The study was commissioned by the Western State Petroleum Association and responds to the need for a greater understanding of the petroleum industry's economic contribution to the Valley.
The study noted that development of the MSF could potentially lead to 195,000 more jobs, personal income growth of more than $22 billion, $6.7 billion of taxable sales, and growth in the Valley's GDP per capita of up to $3,980. The study does not attempt to quantify the environmental and economic costs of oil and gas production from the MSF, but it does demonstrate that such development can lead to significant economic impacts in the San Joaquin Valley.

LAS VEGAS (August 11, 2009) If unbeaten light heavyweight Beibut Shumenov (8-0, 6 KOs) defeats World Boxing Association light heavyweight champion Gabriel Chico Guapo Campillo in Saturday nights main event, the Kazak star will become the light heavyweight champion with the fewest pro fights in history. The Aug. 15th show will be presented by KZ Event Productions, owned and operated by the Shumenov brothers, Beibut and Chingis, in association with Sampson Boxing, LLC, at the Sport Complex Daulet National Tennis Center in Astana, Kazakhstan. The show is being taped live and will air in countries, dates, and times to be determined..
Spanish southpaw boxer Campillo (18-2, 6 KOs), who won the WBA title in June as a decisive underdog, taking the WBA crown from Argentinean favorite and defending title-holder, Hugo Hernan Garay (32-3), will make his first title defense against 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian Shumenov (8-0, 6 KOs), reigning International Boxing Association title-holder.
The 25-year-old Shumenov, now living in Las Vegas, returns home on a mission to become the fourth major world boxing champion from Kazakhstan, joining former IBF cruiserweight Vassiliy Jirov, WBC heavyweight Oleg Maskaev and WBO super featherweight Anatoly Alexandrov.
Shumenov, rated No. 9 by the WBA, will have eight fewer fights then the present record-holder, Michael Spinks, who became WBA light heavyweight champion in his 17th pro fight, winning a 15-round decision against Eddie Mustafa Muhammad in 1981.
Two other Team KZ members, 4-time Uzbekistan National amateur champion Gayrat Ahmedov and Uzbekistan light middleweight Ravshan Hudayaynazarov, will be showcased on Saturday evenings card.
Ahmedov (11-0-1, 7 KOs) fights former Eastern & Central African titlist Douglas Daggy Otieno (19-1, 9 KOs) in the 12-round co-feature for the vacant WBC ABCO and PABA light heavyweight titles.
The 2007 World Military Games winner Hudayaynazarov (8-0, 5 KOs) takes on ex-Kenyan title-holder Joseph Joseph Mish Miyumo (30-7-5, 17 KOs) in a 6-round bout.
WBO light welterweight champion DeMarcus Chop Chop Corley (34-11, 20 KOs) continues his comeback in an 8-round bout versus Jessie James Kimori (11-1, 7 KOs). Brooklyn cruiserweight James Bostic (16-3, 8 KOs) faces an opponent to be determined in a 6-rounder.
Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in 4-round bouts are pro debuting Kazak heavyweight Doszhan Ospanov versus Emil Abishkaev, and super featherweight Abzal Adambaev in his pro debut against TBA.
Universum Box-Promotion wins a court case against Campillo!
Is Jürgen Brähmer now fighting for the WBA world title instead of Campillo vs. Shumenov?
On the occasion of to the world title defence of Universum fighter Hugo Hernan Garay (Argentina) on June 20th 2009 in Santa Fe (Argentina) against Gabriel Campillo Pessy (Spain), Universum had granted the exclusive option to host the fights of the Spanish challenger in case he wins. Campillo won this title bout and was crowned the new WBA light heavyweight world champion.
Campillo had recently announced that he would defend his WBA title on August 15 in Kazakhstan against Beibut Shumenov but this was a violation of the exclusive option of Universum in hosting the fights. A claim of Universum was confirmed by a Spanish civil court that prohibits Campillo to do so.
With this court order a new alternative has been presented for Universum boxer Jürgen Brähmer in order to go after his big dream and become world champion. He could fight for the full WBA title on August 22 against Campillo as he currently is #1 WBA rated contender. A possible alternative has been accepted by the WBO that Brähmer could fight on the same day for the WBO Interims world championship against stable mate Aleksy Kuziemski. A decision about this situation will happen within the next days after a final check.

Tel Aviv is among the world's top 10 cities for 2011 listed by the popular Lonely Planet travel guide website.
Lonely Planet puts Tel Aviv in third place behind Tangier, Morocco, in second and New York in first.
"Tel Aviv is the total flipside of Jerusalem, a modern Sin City on the sea rather than an ancient Holy City on a hill," Lonely Planet writes of of Tel Aviv. "Hedonism is the one religion that unites its inhabitants. There are more bars than synagogues, God is a DJ and everyone's body is a temple.
"Yet, scratch underneath the surface and Tel Aviv, or TLV, reveals itself as a truly diverse 21st-century Mediterranean hub. By far the most international city in Israel, Tel Aviv is also home to a large gay community, a kind of San Francisco in the Middle East. Thanks to its university and museums, it is also the greenhouse for Israel's growing art, film and music scenes."
The other cities on the list are Wellington, New Zealand; Valencia, Spain; Iquitos, Peru; Ghent, Belgium; Delhi, India; Newcastle, England; and Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Lonely Planet also selected its top 10 countries for 2011, ranking Syria in ninth place.

We tend to think of some PC components as having a longer shelf life than others. A video card gets out of date faster than a motherboard, which gets out of date faster than an optical drive, for instance. Some people think that a mouse falls way down at the bottom of that list, somewhere between a power supply and the screwdriver you use to put the whole thing together, but those people have got it all wrong.
When you're trying to figure out the next PC upgrade you should buy, there are at least two ways to go about it.

Product description
This book surveys the medals awarded to British personnel for military service around the world and in two world wars. The campaign medals awarded for the military actions have become a popular field for collectors, since the majority of British awards were officially named, thus making it possible to research the military career of an individual or regiment.

'Tis the season to see holiday-themed theater. For decades, the ultimate Christmastime show has been the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, which continues to bring eager audiences in by the droves to Radio City Music Hall at Rockefeller Center to see the world-famous Rockettes. But in recent years, other holiday shows such as a stage version of Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas and a new musical of A Christmas Carol have turned up in New York City in November and December. This year we have Cirque du Soleil's winter wonderland of a show, Wintuk, and at the Marquis Theater on Broadway Irving Berlin's White Christmas has returned for another limited holiday engagement. These shows are closing by New Year's or shortly thereafter, so if you want to get into the holiday spirit Broadway-style, you should act fast. If you miss them, they may very well be back – and, if not, they will have likely been replaced by something similarly jolly.

Well my husband and I live in Alvin and we have eaten here twice before our last and I do mean LAST time. The older female waitress remembered us after the second time and gave us top notch service both times. The third time we went back to this place, we got the inspiring actress waitress. I swore I had Sybil as our waitress. She was not good and is not cutout for this type of job. I mean it's pretty bad when your waitress asks you if she is a bad waitress, right? I've had worse but then again I've had lots better too. My favorite dish is the Mexican Grande plate….great food….poor service.
100% pure yummy goodness….rice, beans, a beef taco, cheese enchiladas and chicken fajita nachos….a little bit of everything.

There are at least two Crew Lists on the Web in San Francisco. Latitude 38 and SF Sailing. I'm listed as a Skipper on both, and take novices out all the time. If there is one in your area, make sure you contact Skippers. Don't just put your name on the list and wait for a call. I've developed a list of over 30 people who get emailed when I'm going out and have room on the boat (often). Cal Sailing in Berkely CA is a very cost effective way to learn to sail. You could also put your name on boards in Marinas and Yacht Clubs, but I think the Crew List is the most effective route, short of taking lessons. US Sailing also has good interactive (free) instruction on the Web, where you can learn the rules of the road, and get some basic understanding of whats going on. Then... things will make more sense when you get on a boat! I think someone already mentioned the book "The Complete Sailor" by Seidman, but it's a great little book.

Yes you will need to use premium fuel to achieve the rated mpg.
No surprise to me.
When Ford came out with the Eco-Boost I thought of
it as Eco-Boast and I'm a Ford owner.
Here in MD most drivers drive like maniacs and a turbo engine
eats gas unless you drive it conservatively. Regardless of what is said the maintenance is higher as well as the initial cost.
I would not expect high mpg from these turbo motors. Good luck however!

Kamiak's depth edges Cascade in 4A district meet
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Members of the Kamiak swim team enjoy their first place finish at the 4A District Championships Saturday at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo. Kamiak ended with 496 points, just in front of Cascade's 470 points. Jackson High School won third place with 377.5 points.

Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Cascade parents cheer for their team during the final race at the 4A District Championships Saturday at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo. Kamiak took first place at the meet followed by Cascade and Jackson.
The Bruins, led by Kalena Laurent as well their five other senior captains seemingly lived atop the medal stand, but it was Kamiak that took home the big trophy as district champs when the water settled and the scores were tallied.
Kamiak outpaced Cascade 496 to 470. Both teams were well ahead of third-place Jackson at 377.7. Because all 18 swimmers in each event score in this meet, Kamiak held a huge edge at the outset with 20 district qualifiers — a total that was four more than any other team including Cascade.
"We did what we needed today," said Kamiak coach Chris Erickson, who is in his 13th season with the Knights. "We have a lot of girls willing to work hard. We've had a consistent program for many years."
Cascade captured six of the 12 events, including two of the relays. None of the nine other 4A schools competing won more than one event. Entering Saturday, the Bruins had been undefeated in dual meet competition and were Wesco 4A North champions.
"Cascade might be a little disappointed," Erickson said. "Maybe even more than a little, but their team right now is geared for next week. They are going to have a really good showing next week. I'll be excited to watch them."
Next week, of course, is the final event of the year: the Girls Swimming and Diving State Meet at King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
It was Kamiak's second straight district trophy and according to Erickson — based on his calculation of dual results — the fifth consecutive year that Kamiak has been the top scoring team coming from Wesco (prior to 2011 there wasn't a WIAA sanctioned district trophy).
Though the Knights had no individual winners, the team earned its moment in the sun. Even the girls weren't sure they could do it.
"We thought we had a chance, but we thought definitely Cascade was going to win," Kamiak's Laura Johnson said. "We had no idea that we were going to actually win again, which was really cool."
Johnson, who will swim in the 100-yard butterfly next week, and a few other Knights posted their first state-qualifying times of the season Saturday. She was very happy with the team result.
The 100-yard breaststroke was a microcosm of the meet. Cascade's Danielle Booth won in 1 minute 8.56 seconds, which was over a second faster than second-place finisher Luci Brock from Edmonds-Woodway. The freshman Booth earned 24 points for her team. Kamiak's Ingrid Straume (state qualifier), Errin Hendrickson and Judy Chin placed third, fifth and sixth, respectively, which added 20, 18, and 17 points to the Knights total. Cascade had no other swimmers entered. Kamiak's best was never better than Cascade's, except in diving.
There were no sour grapes by Cascade coach Eric Smith Saturday. Smith took a team that four years ago was an afterthought at such events and brought them to the cusp of knocking off the best.
"He does a good job of building a program," Smith said of Erickson. "Kudos to him."
Laurent, who has accepted a full scholarship to swim for Fordham University, won the 200 freestyle and 100 fly and the opening leg of Cascade's first-place 400 free relay team. She also swam the butterfly leg of the second-place 200 medley relay team that was knocked off by Snohomish.
Smith could only use a few words to describe Laurent's contribution to the team over her four years at Cascade. "Phenomenal, unparalleled," he said.
She will be the state favorite in the 100 fly after finishing second the previous two years behind a swimmer who is now graduated. Over the summer Laurent qualified for the next Olympic trials in the 200 fly. Laurent, Smith and the Bruins are looking forward to next week, where the team has a chance to make some serious noise.
"We've got kids in eight of 12 events at state, so we will be really well represented there," Smith said.
"So it's just going to be a different meet."
At the end of the meet Saturday the Wesco coaches voted Smith the district's coach of the year.
"He's a good human being," said Cascade's Nichole Carlson, who won the 100 freestyle and drives daily to Cascade from Duvall because no area school offers swimming. "I enjoy being around him and that's what makes swimming here worth it."
At Kamiak H.S.
Team scores—Kamiak 496, Cascade 470, Jackson 377.5, Snohomish 329, Edmonds-Woodway 310.5, Lake Stevens 253, Mount Vernon 208, Mariner 154, Monroe 146, Lynnwood 75.

Comelec's war with 'Buhay' and 'Patay' tarps
Does the Commission on Elections have the power to order churches to take down posters hanging on church walls expressing their views about the Reproductive Health Law and senatorial preferences? The Bacolod diocese says no, and other dioceses are threatening to follow. I too would say no.
Involved is the power of the Comelec to regulate elections and implement election laws. The power flows from the Comelec's constitutional duty to ensure fair and honest elections. But because election campaigns highly involve competing communications, election rules can heavily involve regulation of speech. The Constitution gives to speech the highest degree of protection.
Jurisprudence distinguishes between content-neutral regulations and content-based regulation of speech. A content-neutral regulation is merely concerned with the incidents of the speech and merely controls the time, place and manner of the speech under well-defined standards. A content-based restraint is censorship and is concerned with the content of the speech.
Clearly, the tarps involved contain both political speech and religious speech, both highly protected by the Constitution. The political aspect of the tarps involves electoral choices. It urges people to vote for senatorial candidates who opposed the RH Law and to vote against those who supported the RH Law. The religious aspect arises from the fact that the tarps express competing religious views about the morality of the reproductive health regulation. And since both aspects of the tarps are intended to influence the choice of the voters, they are a form of electoral campaigning.
Clearly, the political and religious aspects of the tarps are beyond the jurisdiction of the Comelec. But it is within the power of the Comelec to impose regulations that are content-neutral, such as those touching on size, place and manner of publication. This is the sticky part of the controversy between the Comelec and the Diocese of Bacolod.
The regulation of the size of posters and tarpaulins is probably the least controversial. The cost of posters and tarpaulins depends on their size, and the reach of their influence also depends on size. The Comelec has the duty to maintain equality of electoral opportunity. My understanding is that the diocese is willing to trim down the size of the tarps but, in the spirit of a cat-and-mouse game perhaps, alternatively to increase their number.
Another problem about outdoor signs are the aesthetic and public safety aspects. As one decision put it, "While signs are a form of expression protected by the free-speech clause, they pose distinctive problems that are subject to the municipalities' police powers. Unlike oral speech, signs take up space and may obstruct views, distract motorists, displace alternative uses for land, and pose other problems that legitimately call for regulation. It is common ground that governments may regulate the physical characteristics of signs—just as they can, within reasonable bounds and absent censorial purpose, regulate audible expression in its capacity as noise." However, this has not come up in the Bacolod controversy at all.
A more problematic aspect of what the Comelec wants to do with the Bacolod tarps is their location. They are hung outside the church building within private property. Comelec regulations allow the posting of signs on private property provided that the property owner consents. The church has not only consented but is in fact the sponsor of the tarps.
The current controversy is perhaps the first of its kind in Philippine jurisprudence. It may be for this reason that the Supreme Court is handling it gingerly. This, however, is not a new problem in United States jurisprudence to which we usually have recourse when dealing with local laws that are of US origin.
The case I remember best is one involving a sign posted by a property owner on her front lawn proclaiming, "Say No to War in the Persian Gulf, Call Congress Now." The sign violated a city ordinance. When prosecuted, she challenged the constitutionality of the ordinance. She won. The Court ruled, among others, that the city had "totally foreclosed that medium (of communication) to political, religious or personal messages. Signs that react to a local happening or express a view on a controversial issue both reflect and animate change in the life of a community. Often placed on lawns or in windows, residential signs play an important part in political campaigns, during which they are displayed to signal the resident's support for particular candidates, parties or causes. They may not afford the same opportunities for conveying complex ideas as do other media, but residential signs have long been an important and distinct medium of expression."
Because of this, I would defend the legal position of the diocese. However, let me conclude by saying that while I would defend the action of the diocese on constitutional grounds, I oppose it for pastoral reasons. The content of the tarps are both politically and religiously divisive. Catholics are divided over whom to vote for; they are also divided over the morality of the RH Law. To brand as "Patay" those who in good faith believe in the morality of the RH Law following the teaching of some moral theologians is not an effective way of fostering church unity. It can drive away people from the church.

Venue set for Pakistan, Taleban direct talks
Published on Mar 22, 2014 10:36 PM
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan's negotiators have agreed on a location to hold direct peace talks with the Taleban, the head of the militant group's negotiation committee said on Saturday.
"The process of talking directly to the Taleban will start in two to three days, both sides have agreed on the venue," Sami Ul Haq, a negotiator for the Tehreek-e-Taleban Pakistan (TTP), told reporters, following a meeting also attended by the country's interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
"Both sides are showing flexibility and a willingness for success of the talks," Haq added, saying the chosen place would be declared a "peace zone" but without specifying its location.
In an effort to take the talks to a higher level, the government last week formed a new four-member committee to begin direct contact with the Taleban.

I created this piece last year summer and this was a complete re-imagining of another work I created the year earlier...or more like a second attempt. The first one, I like the idea, but I didn't like the execution so I went back to the drawing board and this was the result. I just wanted to create something beautiful, otherworldly and strange. Many thanks to those of you who purchased it and thanks to all you for the nice comments.
For those who purchased a print and reading this, feel free to contact me to let me know how it turned out.

Celtics C Shaquille O'Neal ruled out for Tuesday
"You get a lead and you kind of let your guard down. I thought that happened the other night and then you get the other team excited. Then it's tough to turn it back on," Rivers said. "It's been a terrific season so far, but in that terrific season we've had some bad losses, too, and I tell our guys that. Some of the teams that have beaten us are under .500 and those are tough losses for a team that shouldn't lose those games."
They certainly shouldn't lose Tuesday night. But they've already lost to the Cavaliers, 95-87, in Cleveland. Despite the results, though, Rivers said the Celtics don't overlook weak opponents.
"If we do, then we'll lose," he said. "I don't think our team does that. I just think we come out and we assume wins and sometimes they don't happen. You have to go out and earn them."
Swingman Marquis Daniels also missed practice Monday because of a family issue and has a 50-50 chance of playing Tuesday, Rivers said.
Ray Allen will have a chance to get closer to Reggie Miller's NBA record for 3-point field goals. Allen has made 2,537 in his 15-year career and needs 24 to pass Miller.
"He's such a pro. He prepares every night like it's the biggest game of the year," Rivers said of Allen. "He'll eventually get there. I hope he gets there in the next three or four games. That means he's had a hell of a roll."
