The Seventy Sent Out
1After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and #Matt. 10:1Mark 6:7sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2Then He said to them, #Matt. 9:37John 4:35"The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore #(1 Cor. 3:9)2 Thess. 3:1pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3Go your way; #Matt. 10:16behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4#Matt. 10:9–14Mark 6:8–11Luke 9:3–5Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and #2 Kin. 4:29greet no one along the road. 5#1 Sam. 25:6Matt. 10:12But whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house.' 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7#Matt. 10:11And remain in the same house, #1 Cor. 10:27eating and drinking such things as they give, for #(Matt. 10:10)1 Cor. 9:4–81 Tim. 5:18the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9#Mark 3:15And heal the sick there, and say to them, #Matt. 3:2|NoBook| 10:7Luke 10:11'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11#Matt. 10:14Mark 6:11Luke 9:5Acts 13:51'The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.' 12But I say to you that #Gen. 19:24–28Lam. 4:6Matt. 10:15La 11:24Mark 6:11it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.
Woe to the Impenitent Cities
13#Matt. 11:21–23"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! #Ezek. 3:6For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15#Matt. 11:23And you, Capernaum, who are #Gen. 11:4Deut. 1:28Is. 14:13–15Jer. 51:53exalted to heaven, #Ezek. 26:20will be brought down to Hades. 16#Matt. 10:40Mark 9:37John 13:20Gal. 4:14He who hears you hears Me, #(John 12:48)1 Thess. 4:8he who rejects you rejects Me, and #John 5:23he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me."
The Seventy Return with Joy
17Then #Luke 10:1the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."
18And He said to them, #John 12:31Rev. 9:1Rev 12:89"I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19Behold, #Ps. 91:13Mark 16:18Acts 28:5I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because #(Ex. 32:32Ps. 69:28Is. 4:3Dan. 12:1Phil. 4:3Heb. 12:23Rev. 13:8your names are written in heaven."
Jesus Rejoices in the Spirit
21#Matt. 11:25–27In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22#Matt. 28:18John 3:35John 5:27John 17:2All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and #(John 1:18|NoBook| 6:44no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."
23Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, #Matt. 13:16"Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; 24for I tell you #1 Pet. 1:10that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it."
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, #Matt. 19:16–19|NoBook| 22:35"Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
26He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?"
27So he answered and said, " #Deut. 6:5'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and #Lev. 19:18Matt. 19:19'your neighbor as yourself.' "
28And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and #Lev. 18:5Neh. 9:29Ezek. 20:111321Matt. 19:17Rom. 10:5you will live."
29But he, wanting to #Luke 16:15justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, #Ps. 38:11he passed by on the other side. 32Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33But a certain #John 4:9Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had #Luke 15:20compassion. 34So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35On the next day, when he departed, he took out two #Matt. 20:2denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.' 36So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?"
37And he said, "He who showed mercy on him."
Then Jesus said to him, #Prov. 14:21(Matt. 9:13Pr 12:7)"Go and do likewise."
Mary and Martha Worship and Serve
38Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named #John 11:1John 12:23Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39And she had a sister called Mary, #(1 Cor. 7:32–40)who also #Luke 8:35Acts 22:3sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. 40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
41And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42But #(Ps. 27:4John 6:27)one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

[75] Loss of INI1 Expression in Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma
David L Stockman, Jason L Hornick, Wei-Lien Wang, Alexandar J Lazar. University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX; Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
Background: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (ESMC) are rare sarcomas of uncertain differentiation that often occur in the deep soft tissue of the lower extremity (LE) with metastases often detected during long-term follow up. Previously, INI1 loss was reported in a subset of ESMC. We investigated SMARCB1/INI1 expression by immunohistochemistry and examined for its prognostic significance.
Design: 18 cases of ESMC were retrieved. IHC was performed following antigen retrieval using a mouse anti-SMARCB1/INI1 antibody (1:50; BAF47; BD Biosciences). INI1 immunoreactivity was graded for extent (0, no staining; 1+, <10%; 2+, 10% to 25%; 3+, 26% to 50%; 4+, 51% to 89%; and 5+, 90% to 100%) and intensity (weak, moderate, strong). 0 to 3+ staining were considered to be loss of INI1 expression. All 18 cases were assessed by LSI EWSR1 dual-color, break-apart probe (Abbott Molecular/Vysis, Des Plaines, IL).
Results: Demographics were as follows: M:F ratio of 14:4 with median age of 54 yrs (range:29-79). ESMC cases involved the LE (9/18, 50%), arm and buttock (2/18 each, 11%), trunk (2/18, 11%), and metastatic sites (3/18). EWSR1 rearrangement was detected in 12/15 (80%) cases. 9 cases showed diffuse (5+ and 4+) strong labeling for INI1 while variable loss of INI1 expression was seen in 9/18 (50%) cases: 3 with or 3+ weak/moderate labeling, 3 with 1+ or 2+ weak labeling, and 3 with complete loss of expression. Clinical follow-up (F/U) was available in 17/18 pts (median: 83 mos; range: 38-274 mos). In pts whose tumors showed signficant INI1 loss (0-3+), 7/9 (78%) had metastatic disease (4 with had multiple); 3/9 (33%) were DOD with median overall survival (OS) of 57 mos (range: 41-79) and median disease-free survival (DFS) of 31 mos (range: 16-37); 6/9 (67%) were AWD with median F/U of 76 mos (range: 38-274) and median DFS of 39 mos (range: 7-227). Of the pts whose tumors showed complete INI1 retention, 7/8 (87.5%) were AWD with median F/U of 116 mos (range: 49-262) and median DFS of 57 mos (range: 1-243); 1/8 (12.5%) DOD (OS: 83 mos; DFS: 26 mos).
Conclusions: In this study, 50% of ESMC cases showed variable loss of INI1 expression. Patients whose tumors had loss of INI1 had lower OS and DFS. INI1 loss in ESMC may play a role in disease progression and may serve as a potential prognostic marker.

Re: How were old timers so good?
Now vlad beat dempsey, ha ha ha, people do not understand, Vlad is facing grossly underwhelming competitors who lack hand speed, power and do not know how to get past a jab. Basic boxing skills. The few who do know how to get past his jab simply are either too fat, too slow, or just too unskilled to hit. Dempsey would draw Vlad's lead,jump inside and knock him out with a right in round 1. There is a reason big tall guys like 6'6 were never win much in the hw division untilthe 90s. A moderately skilled guyunder 6'3 can hit a better skilled tall guy (6'6 and up) 5-6 times before he can counter with short shots, and its the short shots that knock guys out not these big wide shots from outer space.
You have a huge decline in skill,then of course, the biggest guys like valuev and klitscko will rule because with equal skill (low), speed (slow) talent (low), footwork (low), head movement (low) then the taller guy dominates because all he has to do is jab the short guy all night long.

What Does the New Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Paper Tell Us?
Dec 11, 2012
Mike Konczal [1]
There are two major, critical questions that show up in the literature surrounding the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
The first question is how much compliance with the CRA changes the portfolio of lending institutions. Do they lend more often and to riskier people, or do they lend the same but put more effort into finding candidates? The second question is how much did the CRA lead to the expansion of subprime lending during the housing bubble. Did the CRA have a significant role in the financial crisis?
There's a new paper on the CRA, Did the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Lead to Risky Lending? [2], by Agarwal, Benmelech, Bergman and Seru, h/t Tyler Cowen [3], with smart commentary already from Noah Smith [4]. (This blog post will use the ungated October 2012 paper for quotes and analysis.) This is already being used as the basis for an "I told you so!" by the conservative press, which has tried to argue that the second question is most relevant. However, it is important to understand that this paper answers the first question, while, if anything, providing evidence against the conservative case for the second.
Where is the literature on these two questions? One starting point is the early 2009 research [5] of two Federal Reserve economists, Neil Bhutta and Glenn B. Canner, also summarized in this Randy Kroszner speech [6]. On the first question Kroszner summarizes research by the Federal Reserve, the latest being from 2000, arguing that "lending to lower-income individuals and communities has been nearly as profitable and performed similarly to other types of lending done by CRA-covered institutions." The CRA didn't cause changes to banks' portfolios, but instead required them to find better opportunities. More on this in a minute.
What about the second question? Here the Bhutta/Canner research notes that only six percent of higher-priced loans (their proxy for subprime loans) were extended by CRA-covered lenders to lower-income borrowers or CRA neighborhoods. 94 percent of these loans were either made by non-traditional banks not covered by the CRA (the "shadow banking system"), or not counted towards CRA credits. As Kroszner noted, "the very small share of all higher-priced loan originations that can reasonably be attributed to the CRA makes it hard to imagine how this law could have contributed in any meaningful way to the current subprime crisis."
How did those loans do? Here the research compared the performance of subprime and alt-A loans in neighborhoods right above and right below the CRA's income threshold, and found that there was no difference in how the loans performed. Hence the idea that a CRA-driven subprime bubble isn't found in the data. (The FCIC's final report [7], starting at page 219, has more on this and other research.)
So what does this new research do? It takes banks that were undergoing a normal examination to see if they were in compliance with the CRA, and thus under heightened regulatory scrunity, and compares their loan portfolios with banks that were not undergoing a CRA examination. It finds that the CRA exam increases loans 5 percent every quarter surrounding the event and those loans default 15 percent more often, under the idea that those banks were ramping up their loans to pass the CRA exam.
But this is question 1 territory. 94 percent of higher priced loans came outside CRA firms and outside CRA loans, and this research doesn't really change that. Since we are talking about regular mortgages – more on that in a second – that higher default isn't that scary. To put that in perspective, loans made in the quarter following the initiation of a CRA exam in a non-CRA tract are 8.3 percent more likely to be 90 days delinquent. That sounds scary, but it is an increase of 0.1, from 1.2 percent to 1.3 percent. In the CRA tract it is 33 percent more likely to default, going from 1.2 percent to 1.6 percent. FICO scores drop 7 points from 713.9 to 706.9. That's an increase I wouldn't want in my portfolio, but it is light-years away from 25%+ default rates, and very low FICO scores, on actual subprime.
This research, if anything, pushes against movement conservative CRA arguments. In light of the evidence in question 2, many conservatives argue that regulators used CRA to push down lending standards, which then impacted other firms. But this paper finds that extra loans aren't more likely to have higher interest rates, lower loan-to-value, or be balloon/interest-only/jumbo/buy-down mortgages, although there is a slight increase in undocumented loans. And their borrowers aren't more likely to have risky characteristics themselves. The authors conclude that "this pattern is consistent with banks' strategic attempts to convince regulators that the loans they extend that meet CRA criteria are not overtly risky."
Read that again. The authors argue, from their empirical evidence, that regulators were trying to make sure these loans had high standards, and CRA banks tried to comply with that as best they could on the major, visible risks of their loans. This is the opposite argument made by people like John Carney, who believes the CRA [8] "encourag[ed] lenders to adopt loose standards for mortgages." It also pushes against people like Peter Wallison, who, in his FCIC dissent, argued that CRA loans were more likely to have subprime characteristics or riskier borrowers in ways not captured by a higher-price variable. Not the case.
It also finds that loan volume and risk increases the most during 2004-2006, and points to the private securitization market as an important channel. This, along with characteristics above, pushes back against the idea that the CRA primed a subprime pump in the late 1990s and early 2000s, another favorite of movement conservative finance writers. If anything, banks undergoing CRA exams were caught up in the same mechanisms that were causing the housing bubble itself.
I'm not sure I buy all of the research. If CRA banks take on too many loans during examination, why wouldn't they just loan less afterwards, balancing out? The paper jumps to argue the opposite, as it is worried that "adjustment costs may cause banks to keep elevated lending rates even after the CRA exam is formally completed." This is meant to establish their results as a lower-bound, rather than an upper-bound. But really? They managed to ramp up their lending in enough time during this time. Either way it would throw a very different set of interpretations on their research. I'm interested in seeing how other researchers react to these problems. But for now these results don't change the way we approach the financial crisis.

The Trumping Down Of America!
A word on Trump:
It is very scary that he defends himself ,when asked about his racism, bigotry and misogyny, by saying "I'm popular, I get standing ovations!" In a sense, he's spitting in our faces. And any who say he is "refreshing" or "speaks the truth" is also spitting in our faces and agreeing with his extreme, crazy views. There is nothing "refreshing" about his hatred, dismissal & demeaning of well over half our population. And if the media were doing its job instead of using him to get ratings, people would know that his companies have filed bankruptcy at least 5 times and he's way over leveraged on his real estate holdings, so he's really not a "successful businessman" like the lazy media keeps saying.
I'm not really worried about him ever winning the presidency, but what he is doing to our country is sickening. I feel sorry for people who are Republicans, he is marginalizing your party and insuring many losses on a national level for years to come. There aren't enough racists, bigots and misogynists (that vote) to beat us. Remember, a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama won more votes than any president in our country's history. If Trump keeps going on and on and on – offending Hispanics, women (and supporters) & many other groups while calling himself a Republican….we win again and again and again.
But I will say, I would rather Trump go away and have the Republicans put up a serious, adult individual so we can have a lively debate about how to solve some problems that still linger in our country and the new ones that pop up everyday.
I think America is still great. Its never been perfect, never will be. But it seems that the right in this country has decided that tearing down the country, bad mouthing it, sabotaging the economy with shutdowns, debt ceiling shenanigans and obstruction is somehow going to give them an edge over the Democrats. It is Un-American. But they seem to have succeeded in their scorched Earth strategy. They act like idiots, people blame ALL politicians and they get a few more angry, misinformed people to show up to the polls than the Democrats…and the scorching continues.
End rant.
The Benghazi Stupid And The Chris Christie Worshippers!
What is it about Chris Christie that so enthralls some in the media? I have to wonder if it is because he screams at his constituents. Mother Jones posted an article with 8 videos of Christie berating and yelling at people, go take a look to see what "straight-talk" is according to his adoring friends in the media.
The Star-Ledger had an opinion piece that makes fun of the people I am now referring to as the "Benghazi stupid." This group of knuckle dragging idiots makes up the leadership of the Republican party these days, along with the reactionary, hateful nihilists that are easily distracted by the word "Benghazi."
Somehow, the right's response to Chris Christie's still-breaking Bridgegate scandal has devolved into this: Why are you writing about New Jersey traffic jams, because Benghazi!
In letters to newspapers and online comments, in phone calls to their favorite conservative radio and TV pundits, conservatives are in a state of collective denial: They refuse to acknowledge there's anything to Gov. Chris Christie and the George Washington Bridge scandal until President Obama and the consular attack in Benghazi get equal time.
What's the difference? Here are three reasons the unrelated Bridgegate and Benghazi stories aren't getting equal time – and shouldn't.
Intent: America's press corps has looked at Benghazi, the IRS scandal and the other Obama-related scandals tossed around last weekend. In each case, the facts dampened the early cries of conspiracy and cover-up. In Benghazi, neither congressional investigators nor the New York Times found evidence to support the idea of a concerted executive branch failure or cover-up. In the IRS fiasco, an investigation found both conservative and liberal political groups were subject to review – and everyone got what they wanted, anyway.
Coverage: It's hard to argue that Benghazi, the IRS scandal or Obamacare's glitchy website weren't covered in full. Each story was subject to intense coverage when it broke – just as Bridgegate is breaking now. To expect coverage of old stories to increase because of an uncomfortable new story is silly.
Just as silly are suggestions that New Jersey media, including The Star-Ledger, are spending too much time covering a breaking story of corruption in the governor's office. Because Benghazi?
Cover-ups: Each scandal resuscitated by the right last week began with cover-up allegations that have faded under the bright lights of media coverage and federal investigation.
Meanwhile, new evidence that Christie's aides tried to cover their tracks is surfacing as thousands of newly released documents and e-mails are made public. None of the evidence suggests the governor was involved at that level, but there are a lot of questions about the GWB lane closures that still haven't been answered.
I watched Chris Christie's marathon press conference the other day and he laid it on pretty thick for his adoring media audience. For those of us who aren't swayed by his tactics, it didn't pass the smell test. And now, with the release of more information about who in his office knew what was going on, it stinks even more.
He had to know what was going on.
When Greenwalds Attack! 10 Examples From His Past
It's fascinating for someone who has kept a critical eye on Glenn Greenwald to see him playing in the big leagues and striking out so much. I do believe it's time for him to be sent back down to the minors.
Glenn Greenwald frequently attacks people who disagree with him, he can't help himself. He has a hair trigger on that gun of his and likes to shoot it off. (By the way, he is against gun control, in case you weren't aware.)
The most recent example of Glenn's penchant for lashing out happened on Twitter as he attacked Daniel Serwer of Johns Hopkins University and peacefare.net.
Well, that one little tweet from the "Rio Pundit" prompted quite a backlash from many different directions. One of the best came from Adam Serwer, Daniel Serwer's son, a writer for Mother Jones and a reporter for MSNBC.com.
Glenn Greenwald's knee-jerk attack on Daniel Serwer revealed exactly how GG rolls. I wrote a post recently, The Top 5 Exaggerations By Glenn Greenwald On NSA!, that looked at just a few of Glenn's exaggerations in his latest 15 minutes of fame. This one tweet from Glenn is both an exaggeration and an attack, combining two of his favorite tactics. And for those that say Glenn is "smart", please read that tweet one more time.
Daniel Serwer, the person that Glenn tried to dismiss by claiming Edward Snowden had "done far more for the world in the last two months than you have in your life", has actually spent most of his adult life working for peace. Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has Daniel's bio and gives his take on this incident. Here is a piece of the bio…
Daniel Serwer (Ph.D., Princeton) is a Professor of Conflict Management, as well as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He is also a Scholar at the Middle East Institute.
Formerly Vice President for Centers of Peacebuilding Innovation at the United States Institute of Peace (2009-10), he led teams there working on rule of law, religion, economics, media, technology, security sector governance and gender. He was previously Vice President for Peace and Stability Operations at USIP, where he led its peacebuilding work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and the Balkans and served as Executive Director of the Hamilton/Baker Iraq Study Group. Serwer has worked on preventing interethnic and sectarian conflict in Iraq and has facilitated dialogue between Serbs and Albanians in the Balkans.
I won't spend time pushing back against the Snowden claim, you can go read some of Bob Cesca's work here, here and here if you want to get up to speed on the issues surrounding the Edward Snowden leaks.
One of the main tactics Glenn Greenwald uses is to attack anyone who challenges him, with venom and over the top projections of all things evil onto his target. I've personally been called a few names by him, mostly because I support President Obama. He really dislikes people who support President Obama. Joy-Ann Reid wrote about this a while back.
Anyone who fails to loathe Obama as he does is an "Obama lover" (just chew on that, if you're African-American) or a "cultist." It isn't possible that Obama could do anything that isn't vile and insipid and worthy of continual, emphatic condemnation.
Since I've spent way too much time reading and writing about Glenn Greenwald, mostly because I despise his tactics, but in all candor, partly because he has such a profound hatred for President Obama, I thought I'd share some links I have gathered over the years. You can decide for yourself how you feel about Glenn, considering the following.
10 Examples of Glenn Greenwald Attacks
1. When the "don't touch my junk" guy emerged on the scene, Mark Ames and Yasha Levine wrote a piece questioning some issues surrounding that incident, Glenn Greenwald pounced on them. Go read this account by Mark Ames and Yasha Levine, it's quite remarkable.
2. Benjamin Wittes of Lawfare and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution wrote a great piece explaining why he won't engage with Glenn Greenwald and the piece reveals a lot of what others have seen too. It is one of the reasons why I quit interacting with Glenn, I've blocked him on Twitter and try not to read any of his trolling drivel.
3. Glenn Greenwald set his aim at Wired Magazine when they published the chat logs of Bradley Manning, which got him busted. The targets of his attack on this time were Evan Hansen and Kevin Poulsen. (You may have to Google 'The Curious Case of Glenn Greenwald vs. Wired magazine' if you hit a paywall)
3. In this one, Glenn attacks Kurt Eichenwald and Joy-Ann Reid in an epic Twitter battle that is summarized here.
4. One of the worst attacks Glenn has made over the years, which he has never apologized for, involved joining in on attacking a friend of mine, Imani Gandy (Angry Black Lady). This one included tweeting about rape with one of his minions.
5. Ben Cohen at The Daily Banter (a most excellent site), wrote a great piece about Glenn attacking fellow journalists who supported the Iraq War…but of course, Glenn Greenwald told us in his own words how he supported President Bush in his invasion and slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's. And of course, Glenn was also supporting President Bush when he rammed the Patriot Act through…you know, that law that started much of the surveillance that Glenn now rails against.
6. Jonathon Chait wrote a hilarious and revealing post titled "Glenn Greenwald is Ralph Nader", which prompted Glenn Greenwald to attack Paul Krugman…go read it, you'll see why. And here is a post detailing the attack on Paul Krugman, for making a reference to the NSA story.
7. You have to give Greenwald credit for taking on people who are way smarter than he is. Here is an exchange between Al Giordano and Glenn Greenwald that has a lot to do with the current NSA revelations, this is a must read if you want to be informed and entertained. I wish Al posted more often, he is amazing.
8. Chez Pazienza wrote a terrific piece called "The Daily Banter's Official Helpful Media Guide for Interacting With Glenn Greenwald" that is a must read for anyone thinking of saying anything that Glenn Greenwald disagrees with.
9. This little skirmish with Sam Harris is pretty interesting. Sam Harris likes to tell it like it is and Glenn got a little bit of push back from Sam.
10. The last one I'll throw in the mix is Greenwald's attack on David Gregory, which I have mixed feelings about. David Gregory asked a horrible question loaded with innuendo and completely blew the opportunity to ask a really good one and then hammer Glenn until he answered it. The question I would have asked is "did you have any contact with Edward Snowden before he took the job at Booz Allen?" A lot of people want to know the answer to that question. It seems to me that the protection a journalist has by saying that someone came to them with information kind of flies out the window IF that "journalist" had something to do with stealing the information. And please, any GG minions, spare me turning that last sentence into an accusation, the word "IF" should be your clue. The act of stealing the information and then publishing it are separate acts.
Bringing it back to the original Glenn Greenwald attack, I think Daniel Serwer's final tweet to Glenn Greenwald is pure perfection.
The Extremely Liberal Podcast Talking Drones, The Filibuster Bluster and Polls As A Crutch for the Media!
This podcast was recorded on March 13, 2013. I've been a very bad podcast poster and deserve to be scolded by someone. In this episode we talk about Rand Paul's filibuster that brought out support from the faux-left, those who conveniently ignore Rand's crazy ideas about such things as the Civil Rights Act. We also talk about Chez Pazienza's great article that caused David Sirota to lose his mind and attack Goldie Taylor for tweeting it. He shouldn't have done that, as I'm sure he learned very quickly. We round things out by talking about how the media uses and abuses polls. Give a listen. More episodes coming soon…

Jane Hamsher and her "Firebaggers"!
Those of you who read my rants know that I have major differences with Jane Hamsher and some of the folks at her Firedoglake Empire. Although I agree with them on many things, I don't agree with their tactics when dealing with President Obama and others who differ with them on issues. One of the most recent examples of her tactics was the slanted poll she sponsored in Arkansas' 2nd district, which ended up causing Vic Snyder, the one on the losing end of the poll, to withdrawal from the race. Most people who've looked at it say Hamsher's poll was the reason for his quitting. Nate Silver rips apart the questions they asked…
So, for all that work, the poll shows a whopping 4-point decline in Snyder's poll numbers, and a 2-point increase in Griffin's — not even outside of the margin of error. We don't know how much of that has to do with opposition to the mandate versus the balance of the bill since the poll doesn't unpack them — they could have asked an additional question or two to tease this out, but they didn't.
And that 4-point decline — which may or may not be statistically significant and which may or may not have anything to with the individual mandate — comes only after they'd asked five or six questions in a row that framed the mandate in a negative light, and also reminded people for no particular reason about just how happy they are with their coverage in the status quo — all while using robopolling technology that was never really designed to ask complex sets of policy questions like these.
Great work, guys!
In contrast to Hamsher's approach to polling, Daily Kos is all over the proper way to conduct a poll. They lay out the methodology and policies that clearly are meant to get fair accurate results. Here is the first thing covered in their published guidelines.
1) Questionnaire or survey instrument: This is the list of questions that will be asked in the poll.
First of all, it is vital to ask the question as fairly and objectively as possible. The exact wording of the questions and their order in the questionnaire are obviously important, as this can be the most controversial part of any poll. To provide full transparency, we publish the exact questions we ask, in the order asked…
…What must be emphasized is that it is important to be objective and have the facts straight when asking any issue question. Adjectives cannot be used in asking such questions, period. A question about the death penalty, for example, needs to be asked fairly and straightforwardly, with no embellishment: "Do you favor or oppose the death penalty?"
Nate Silver's piece is most excellent, I recommend you read the whole thing. It clearly shows how polling in the wrong hands can produce very slanted results. The media has embraced polls as the gospel these days., no matter how bad they are done. And really, did you see the results of the last Daily Kos poll, here are some results. Do you want these folks setting policy for us?
Do you believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be President than Barack Obama?
Yes 53
No 14
Not Sure 33
So, when you combine the not sure and the yes, that's 86% of republicans who either think Sarah Palin is more qualified than President Obama or they really don't know. Wow! President of Harvard Law Review vs. beauty pageant contestant and news anchor. Hmmmmm, which one would be more qualified?
President Obama Rocks!
I've been accused of being an all sorts of things because I support President Obama, but in an interview with Diane Sawyer he reminded me why I support him so much. Look at this exchange with Sawyer, the whole transcript is here.
SAWYER: Ever in the middle of all that's coming did you think maybe one term is enough?
OBAMA: You know, I — I would say that when I — the one thing I'm clear about is that I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president. And I — and I believe that.
You know, there's a tendency in Washington to think that our job description of elected officials is to get re-elected. That's not our job description. Our job description is to solve problems and to help people. And, you know, that's not just the view of elected officials themselves. That's also the filter through which the media reads things. And the reason I can say this with confidence is I've gone through this before. I went through this through the campaign.
When your poll numbers drop, you're an idiot. When your poll numbers are high, you're a genius. If my poll numbers are low, then I'm cool and cerebral and cold and detached. If my poll numbers are high, well, he's calm and reasoned.
So that's — that's the filter through which a lot of this stuff is interpreted. But…
SAWYER: Do you think there's a lot of bed wetting, as David Plouffe said?
OBAMA: I do think that people are always thinking in the cable news cycle, and whatever appears that given day is how people view the world. That is not how I look at things. You know, I went to Iowa — I went to Ohio last week on Friday. And I went to a company that the family had owned for years — third generation. They make machine tools.
And you go and you talk to the workers there and you talk to the owners and then you go to the diner and you're meeting with people and talk to them. You know, they are not interested in whether Democrats are scoring points on Republicans or vice versa. What they're interested in is, you know, I can't get a loan from my bank right now. I'm trying to save for my kid's college education. You know, I'm worried that my 401(k), although it's bounced back a little bit, still doesn't leave me enough for retirement.
Those are the things that people talk to me about. And so that's what I spend a lot of my time thinking about.
As you may have noticed if you've read any of my previous posts, I think the media is lazy, stupid, reactionary, sensational, style over substance, process over policies…..every thing is filtered through polls, the horse race or the latest outrage. Any politician can get on cable by being outraged about something, whether they are sincere or not, whether they need a boost in the polls or not, whether they are lying or not. The media eats that shit up and then craps it back out for us wrapped in a poll. Arghhh, don't get me started……oh wait, I started it myself. Oops. :)
It's Time To Impeach Justice Roberts!
I've been stunned since the Supreme Court's decision to sell our country off to corporations, well what's left of our country anyway. They've pretty much owned it for many years, the crooked court that brought us the decision in Bush V. Gore just made it much easier for them. I'm hopeful that this will be the straw that broke the camel's back and something will be done about this by the congress. The Rude Pundit shows us what our country looks like now in this post. Here is a sample….
Hey, maybe if they're willing to pass a couple of disclosure laws, members of Congress can all be honest about whose whores they are.
Senator Orrin Hatch is brought to you by the good people at Merck. Merck: Because Vioxx isn't the only thing we make that'll fuck you up.
Senator Mitch McConnell is brought to by the executives at R.J. Reynolds. R.J. Reynolds: Can you believe how much shit we've gotten away with?
Senator Lisa Murkowski is brought to you by the shareholders of ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil: Suck our pipeline and suck it good, America.
You have to give Republicans credit for being consistent in their support of everything bad and their being against anything good for our country. Even though most of them claim to be christians (whatever that means), they are some evil motherfuckers and just keep proving it over and over and over again.
Governing By Polls!
Has the media succeeded in taking control of our government? I propose that the media uses polls to force weak-ass politicians to bend to the current will of the majority, as shown in the latest poll. Often these polls use very small samples and the methodologies of different polling organizations are wildly different. Morning Joke loves to throw polls at politicians and confront them about how their stance doesn't fit with the majority. It isn't just Joe (an intern was found dead in his office) Scarborough but many other talking heads and pundits do the exact same thing. Haven't they had any statistics classes?
As Chris Matthews pointed out so pointedly on his show two nights ago, go here for more, "But the poll that was the official poll, where people had to go into the booth and vote…" that's the only "poll" that really counts. I could rattle off all sorts of polls that have been wrong over the years for individual races, but that's really beside the point I'm trying to make. When we elect someone, we elect that person to make judgments and represent us with the principles they ran on, and their whole world view. When I vote for a candidate, I want that candidate to make decisions based on their best judgment not whichever way the wind is blowing on that particular day.
The media just beats these polls into the public consciousness, and as we learned from the Reagan years and ever since, if you repeat something over and over again, pretty soon people start to believe it, whether it's factually true or not. Of course the Republicans have raised it to an art form, I'm pretty sure the NEA has given them grants it's such a powerful art form. The really shitty part of this phenomenon is that there is no good way to change it. The lazy journalists in this country use it as a crutch, heaven forbid they write an original article or do a little research or expose a crooked politician. And it gives them tremendous power that they yield over politicians, you can't watch a Sunday morning show or any other political cable news show without a poll being dragged out and abused.
The last thing I'll say about polls is that they are exaggerated to the extreme. "The people want this or that"….when it may very well be 52% of the people in a poll with a margin of error of +/- 4%. It drives me nuts when they completely discard the views of the other 48%. When you see a margin of error higher than 3%, the sample is usually less than 800 people, many times less than that because not every question is answered by all the participants. So often the results they spew are even smaller subgroups within the poll. "Of the people who support Obama, 20% believe this or that"…..which may very well be less than a hundred people when you divide up the pie.
If you are ever in need of a reality check about any given poll, visit Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight blog, he'll give you realistic analysis and perspective too.
Obama Wasn't On The Ballet, Don't Believe The Spin!
If Coakley wins, I'm sure the MSM is going to spin it into a loss by the president. He wasn't on the ballot. I read that George Snuffleupagus is saying it will be the biggest upset of the century or some shit like that. That's crazy, upset? She was appointed to fill a vacancy, she hasn't won a national election ever, how can it be an upset. Simply because Teddy Kennedy held that seat doesn't make it a democratic seat. Sure, the democrats will have to take a look in the mirror and learn from this election, but the big lesson from this is that if democrats want to win, they have to put up good candidates. I don't care how long a seat has been controlled by one party or another, voters are going to pick the best candidate. It's only the punditocracy that sees it the other way. You get what you vote for, Massachusetts, you vote for an idiot teabagger, you get an idiot teabagger. Life goes on.
Should We Believe Halperin and Heilemann?
The duo who loves to go on Morning Joe and feed Joe the beast with insider political gossip are all the rage these days with their new book Game Change. It looks like many in the media are eating it up and spitting it back out. Liz Cheney is appauled at Harry Reid using the word Negro, I'm sure it comes from her deep seated hatred of racism in general, it has to be. I'm not really surprised by what is attributed to Harry Reid, doesn't surprise me at all. Of course President Obama is going to forgive him for his insensitive comments, that's our president's style after all. What fascinates me the most about this particular issue is the reaction from Republicans, it raises that question I think needs to be applied to many issues the media trumpets, "so what?" I wonder what is behind their pushing of this story, is it to show that democrats are racist too, so it's OK for republicans to be racist?
There are many other comments by others including Bill Clinton that will get a lot of traction too, specifically racially tinged comments when talking to Ted Kennedy. The media is going to pound these stories to death, I just know it. But I want someone to ask "so what?" They will put this all out there to linger, but won't ever tell us why it is important that we know it. I think all sides of the issues need to stop and think about why they are pushing the story, what difference does it make, why should we care? I guess for those who think we've transcended race, it will be a reminder that we haven't and for those who are racist, they can take comfort in knowing they aren't the only ones…..see, those liberals are racist too.
Let the republican hypocrisy begin. There is already pushback against the book, which sounds more like a gossip rag than an actual book. Check out these posts on the subject.

The "So What" Watch
I'm starting a new series called the "So What" watch. So much of what passes as news these days is just crap and I find myself often saying so what? Who gives a shit about some of this stuff. Here is one from one of the worst "media" offenders, The Huffington Post. I am not linking to Huffpost, but the original article that they linked to, I don't want to give them any more clicks than they already get. It's about "ABC beauty Bianna Golodryga" who just recently got engaged to Peter Orszag, the White House budget director. I guess it's an attempt to embarrass the white house or something. So What?
Unanswered Questions!
Is it just me, or does the media love the phrase "there are many unanswered questions." Well yeah, questions are freakin easy to ask, whether they are on topic or off topic. It often creates controversy where there is none, implies guilt when there may not be any and is the refuge of the lazy journalist. It's not a conservative thing or liberal thing, it's a crappy media thing.

Die Vishuis Restaurant is situated on the bank of the Berg River, in the West Coast town of Velddrif. This restaurant was once a real 'vishuis' where the fisherman used to salt the harders in big tanks. What remains of those days are the sea shells in the original sand walls, portions of which have been uncovered.
This quirky little national monument has been kept appealingly genuine, complete with open beams and a long stoep where you can eat seafood as well as other scrumptious dishes and enjoy the flamingos, pelicans and herons because this is a major wetland area.
A restaurant called Die Vishuis must of course have a scrumptious fish and seafood menu but this is not all that is served, Herman who has 31 years experience in the hospitality trade has put his wide experience to good use, creating seasonal and interesting West Coast dishes.
You will be made welcome as you arrive at the door. After being shown to your table your friendly waiter will help you select your meal from the menu and if needed will call Herman for any further assistance if required.
Being a small intimate restaurant we are able to create personal service for your enjoyment and relaxation throughout your meal. Guests are welcome to bring own Wine and Beer along - no corkage charged, as we are not licensed yet.
This quaint, eccentric restaurant and vintage shop is called Pajamas and Jam, now we know they have a sense of humor. This lightheartedness shines through in everything except the quality of products you will find here.
Here you will find interesting variations on traditional breads and salads, as well as salad dressings. The menu changes on a daily basis so a surprise is never too far away.
The sweet stuff is simply delectable an include a Portuguese milk tart and scrumptious carrot cake. Do yourself a favour and order the hot chocolate made with Lindt chocolate balls. The double chocolate brownies are also very popular.
Italian coffee, Caffé Tomeucci, is made the in-house barista and fresh juice is squeezed every day. Interesting items like buchu and rose geranium cordial, as well as finger-licking preserves are ideal to take home.
Quayside Cabin is not your average restaurant. This fresh seafood eatery is a transformed shipping container with an array of eclectic items placed all over. Quayside Cabin has the most envied location in Hermanus, with prime positioning in the new harbour overlooking the activities of the harbour and ocean.
This is a causal and charming space where the service is friendly and banter is encouraged. Apart from the pleasant service, this is most certainly the best place to experience fresh fish and catch from the harbour straight into the pan. With the limited space available, it amazes one how effortlessly this type of quality of food is presented each time.
Come rain or shine, Quayside Cabin is open. Summer days are spent enjoying the sea breeze and in winter the blinds are lowered and heaters strategically positioned for a cosy meal.
Seafood is what's on the menu so don't head to the harbour if you are looking for a rare steak. Split a platter to taste all the starters, choose one of the hot pots, or pick the best fresh-off-the-boat fish dish. Kiddies have a small selection of meals to cater for the whole family.
Lunch: 12 noon - 4:00 pm, Monday to Sunday;
Dinner: 7:00 pm - close, Monday to Sunday.
This casual but chic pub-restaurant is directly on the beach at Bayview Lodge, Barra, Mozambique. It is open to the public with seating for 20 guests inside and additional seating on the deck.
The restaurant has hardwood furniture inside and out, with proper crockery and cutlery and even a small 'reader's corner' where you can exchange books.
A daily menu with buffet-style breakfast, light lunches and a la carte dinners. Special catering needs can be accommodated such as vegetarian dishes, if we are informed in advance. The emphasis is on fish and seafood, but other meat dishes – chicken, beef and the occasional lamb - are also served. Our menu is dependent on availability and is therefore varied.
A few examples of our menu include lunch dishes of chicken or prawn or octopus salad, or maybe a tuna carpaccio with roquette. Dinner offered may include tuna steak with pesto and ratatouille or a calamari and prawn curry, or for meat lovers, our famous peri-peri chicken, beef fillet or a sirloin steak.
The emphasis is on good food in a relaxed atmosphere, where the music is in the background; in other words, a place to get together. Kids are welcome.

Re: Post Combine Mock
Not sure if Hopkins does or not, but it doesn't sound like he does from all I've heard. Which would make him less valuable IMO.
I also totally disagree with you that the most important variable is size.
To me, it would be the size of the heart that matters most. And at 175, you can imagine Tavon, like Danny, has plenty of heart.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe any of Danny's injuries can be attributed to his smallish stature. Football players of all sizes get the kind of injuries Amendola has suffered, don't they?
So needless to say, I'm not the least bit concerned about Austin's size, only his playmaking ability, which in my mind is second to none in this draft.
But to each his own.
-02-27-2013 #23
Re: Post Combine Mock
I'd like to see Austin in horns too though. He's as explosive as a player as you can find. He can line up in multiple positions like you mentioned. A guy like Austin is good for 20 touches EVERY game. It'll be an issue if we draft him and retain Amendola, though.
-02-27-2013 #24
Re: Post Combine Mock
Love the Hopkins, Greene and Washington picks. Johnson im not sure of still....lol. Amerson would be good only if he makes the transition good. Gragg could be good. I could live with this mock.
Cant wait till we know if Danny and Jax are staying or not. Will change some things(for me at least)
-02-27-2013 #25
Re: Post Combine Mock
For the Hopkins doubters, I think you guys should go back and check out some of his tape or at least his highlights. People are sleeping on this guy. Here's an anonymous scout on twitter:
" Hopkins may be my favorite WR this year. Still have to see Patterson, but Nuke is hard to beat for me."
The twitter world is really high on him, or so it seems. There are a few guys around that gloat about him. To me, Hopkins is the complete package. He has amazing hands, will attack the ball aggressively in the air, runs terrific routes, can take the top off the defense. He reminds me of Roddy White so much. Both guys have sure hands. Will do the dirty work across the middle, but both can stretch the field with extreme effectiveness.

-02-27-2013 #27
Re: Post Combine Mock
Mind you, I understand we all have differing opinions on guys, that's what makes the draft fun, but I believe when we look back at this draft we'll see Nuk as a dominant player.

Win or lose, Myles Mack's postgame interview sessions are calm and measured. The Rutgers junior made one thing clear, however, after Saturday's rout of Houston: He likes Jerome Seagears as a backcourt partner.
"It's good because I can handle and he can handle," Mack said. "It keeps us with a lot of energy."
After experimenting with a big starting lineup for several weeks, Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan went back to the Mack-Seagears combination Saturday and it worked like a charm. Mack tallied 25 points and six assists while committing one turnover. Senior J.J. Moore, moved from two guard to his ...

Critical Habitat Exclusions
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (the Services) jointly proposed a policy that would provide predictability, transparency, and consistency regarding how the Services consider exclusions from critical habitat designations. Rather than cover the entire range of factors that may be considered as the basis for an exclusion in any given designation, the proposed rule provides the Services' position on how they consider non-permitted conservation plans and partnerships; conservation plans permitted under section 10 of the Endangered Species Act; tribal, military and federal lands; and economic impacts in the exclusion process.
This policy will serve to clarify the critical habitat exclusion process for federal and state agencies, tribes, and the public. It will also provide for a more defensible and predictable critical habitat exclusion process.
The Services are working to address comments received during the public comment period and plan to finalize the policy in summer 2015.

Capitol Hill (AP) -- The Senate has confirmed Andrew von Eschenbach as head of the Food and Drug Administration.
The vote of 89-to-11 came after the Senate broke a filibuster during which von Eschenbach was accused of impeding Congressional investigations.
He has been acting commissioner since September of last year. Democrats had blocked his nomination until the FDA decided to allow non-prescription sales of the morning-after pill now on the market.
After that it was held up by a Republican. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley expressed outrage at von Eschenbach's refusal to release information about a controversial antibiotic.
Grassley charged he was showing "a complete and utter disrespect for Congressional authority and the law."
Von Eschenbach said releasing the information could have a "chilling effect" on the FDA's ability to evaluate drug safety and other issues "independently and objectively."

ŌĆśI am still not getting what I wantŌĆÖ: Gay couple suing church for refusing ŌĆśweddingŌĆÖ
LONDON, August 2, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) ŌĆō Less than two weeks after the coalition governmentŌĆÖs gay ŌĆ£marriageŌĆØ bill was signed into law, a homosexual man has launched a lawsuit against a Church of England parish in Maldon for refusing him and his civil partner the lavish church wedding of their dreams. Barrie Drewitt-Barlow told the Essex Chronicle that he has launched the suit because, despite the law, ŌĆ£I am still not getting what I want.ŌĆØ
Section 9 of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, which comes into effect next year, grants anyone in a civil partnership the ability to convert that partnership into a ŌĆ£marriage.ŌĆØ But the law contains measures specifically to preclude unwilling churches from being forced to participate.
Drewitt-Barlow said, ŌĆ£The only way forward for us now is to make a challenge in the courts against the church. It is a shame that we are forced to take Christians into a court to get them to recognize us.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£But we don't want to force anyone into marrying us ŌĆō it is supposed to be the happiest day in my life and that would make me miserable and would spoil the whole thing,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ArenŌĆÖt Christians meant to forgive and accept and love?ŌĆØ
He added, ŌĆ£It upsets me because I want it so much ŌĆō a big lavish ceremony, the whole works, I just donŌĆÖt think it is going to happen straight away.ŌĆØ
Drewitt-Barlow is a high-profile homosexual campaigner who in 1998 went to court in the U.S. to force government for the first time to allow only him and his partner, Tony, to be named on the birth certificate of their twins, who were conceived with a donated ovum and carried by a surrogate in California.
The two have since acquired three more children through similar means and opened BritainŌĆÖs first surrogacy business catering especially to same-sex partners.
The Christian Institute reported that Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has donated around ┬Ż500,000 to groups lobbying for same-sex marriage.
ŌĆ£We are happy for gay marriage to be recognized ŌĆō in that sense it is a big step. But it is actually a small step because it is something we still cannot actually do. We need to convince the church that it is the right thing for our community for them to recognize as practicing Christians,ŌĆØ Drewitt-Barlow told the Essex Chronicle.
ŌĆ£I am a Christian ŌĆō a practicing Christian ŌĆō my children have all been brought up as Christians and are part of the local [Church of England] parish church in Danbury. I want to go into my church and marry my husband,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£If I was a Sikh I could get married at the Gurdwara. Liberal Jews can marry in the synagogue ŌĆō just not the Christians.ŌĆØ
Legislators had insisted that churches and clergy would not be subject to legal harassment over the proposal. Equalities Minister Maria Miller unveiled a series of amendments, called the ŌĆ£quadruple lock,ŌĆØ that the government said would stave off attempts of this kind.
Both the Catholic Church and Church of England, as well as legal experts, however, dismissed the governmentŌĆÖs promises, saying that no law in Britain was safe from being overturned by the European Court of Human Rights. The Church of England, the nationŌĆÖs established religion, warned that a successful legal challenge could make it impossible for the Church to continue its role conducting marriages on behalf of the state.
They called the governmentŌĆÖs attempt to re-write the marriage law ŌĆ£divisiveŌĆØ and ŌĆ£essentially ideological.ŌĆØ
Aidan OŌĆÖNeill QC had given evidence to the governmentŌĆÖs hearings saying that, because the Church of England is obliged to marry any eligible person who lives in a parish boundary, the ŌĆ£quadruple lockŌĆØ is ŌĆ£eminently challengeableŌĆØ at the European Court of Human Rights.
Moreover, existing Equalities law could allow local councils to enact reprisals against religious groups who refuse to ŌĆ£marryŌĆØ homosexual partners, including refusing them the use of community center facilities.
In June, an openly homosexual Government Justice Minister, Crispin Blunt, admitted to the BBC that the attempt to proscribe Church of England participation in ŌĆ£gay marriagesŌĆØ ŌĆ£may be problematic legally.ŌĆØ
The governmentŌĆÖs proposal, he said, ŌĆ£is that marriage should be equal in the eyes of the state whether itŌĆÖs between a same-sex couple or whether itŌĆÖs between a man and a woman.ŌĆØ Thus, the opposition to the law by churches would fall under the provisions of the Equalities Act, the same act that resulted in the forced closure or secularization of every Catholic adoption agency in England and Wales.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll have to see what happens with that,ŌĆØ Blunt told the BBC.
let me know when the courts rule that the church of ENGLAND has to comply.
Their laws do not mirror our laws.
Quoting candlegal:
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, Who didn't see that coming?
that's an interesting point.
Quoting stringtheory:
Might be a bit different in Britain, what with an established religion in the Church of England. If you are going to have a state church, I would think that church would be more subject to do the state's bidding. Aren't you glad the U.S. separates church and state?
Quoting candlegal:
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, Who didn't see that coming?
But churches are unable to be forced to perform gay marriage ceremonies.
They can still have the lavish wedding of their dreams so I'm not understanding how a church plays into this - besides that England has some of the most beautiful churches in the world IMO.
Why is marriage continually in quotation marks?

Last week, Arizona ONE members and ONE Campus Challenge students attended campaign rallies for both our senate candidates.
At candidate Jeff Flake's rally we had the chance to shake hands with his wife Cheryl Flake, meet some of his staffers, and introduce ONE to congressional candidate Matt Salmon from Mesa who, to our excitement, seemed well versed on global HIV/AIDS policy and told us it would be something that would be of interest to him if elected. Everyone was fantastic to us!
Photo caption: ONE members and Arizona Senate candidate Matt Salmon
After the debate, we all headed straight to candidate Richard Carmona's rally, where we met with with Carmona supporters while Jimmy Eat World was rocking on stage.
ONE members engaged the crowd with strong facts: 8 million lives saved from antiretroviral medication, the opportunity to ensure no child is born with HIV by 2015, boosting child nutrition, and all the economic and national security benefits to smart US investments extreme poverty.
Richard Carmona and a ONE member
After the rally, we were able to speak to Senate candidate Richard Carmona and President Clinton. Here's what ONE Campus Leader Kamra Sadia Hakim had to say about the opportunity:
As I was standing front-line, listening and watching our elected leaders inspire hundreds of people, I hoped to get at least one moment to explain to these leaders why ONE is the way! As President Clinton approached me, I held his hands and asked, "Mr. President, are you familiar with ONE?!"
I couldn't stop smiling as the president took the ONE bracelet I handed him and observed it with curious eyes. Following Bill Clinton, I shook hands with and embraced Dr. Carmona! He slipped his ONE bracelet right on his wrist with enthusiasm upon receiving it from me! Dr. Carmona then posed for a photo with me! His support for something I live and breathe for, brought tears to my eyes. It motivates me to listen and learn, rally and be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves!
The whole ONE Team was phenomenal! We rocked those rallies and met some incredible folks on both sides of the aisle. Special thanks to our nonpartisan team of ONE members — Allison and Amy, the founder of the U of A ONE Campus chapter Nick Fisbee Time, and the ASU ONE Campus group leader Kamra Sadia Hakim.

Right after the opening tip, Zane Trace's Pierce Mowery immediately blew past a Southeastern defender, stopped his momentum and hit a 3-pointer for the first points of a Scioto Valley Conference game Friday.
Seconds later, the Pioneers' Connor Smith scored on an easy layup after a masterful exhibit of dribble penetration in the middle of the lane to extend the early lead to 5-0 only 15 seconds in.
Zane Trace took that early lead, extended it, then held the advantage the rest of the game in a 61-38 victory against the Panthers. ...

Regan, Pamela C., Lyle, James L., Otto, Amy L., Joshi, Anupama, Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal
The recognition that sexual desire is associated with relationship quality and other important interpersonal experiences has led to a corresponding interest in identifying the correlates and causes of this aspect of human sexual response. Most researchers have focused on intraindividual factors, including hormonal processes. The present review explores the relationship between one hormonally mediated female life event - pregnancy - and sexual desire. Sexual desire is defined, and distinguished from other sexual experiences (e.g., arousal, activity), and its common operationalizations are disscussed. Next, the hormonal changes that characterize each trimester of pregnancy are considered. Empirical research conducted then to determine whether these hormonal changes correspond to alterations in the experience of desire is then reviewed. It is concluded that the hormonal fluctuations that occur during pregnancy are reliably associated with progressive decreases in feelings of sexual desire in the majority of women.
Key words; sexual desire, hormones, pregnancy, maternal sexuality.
A growing body of evidence indicates that sexual desire - the motivational component of sexual response - is related to several significant human life events. For example, feelings of sexual attraction prompt men and women to enter liaisons with both casual sex partners and romantic partners; desire therefore has implications for reproduction and species survival. Sexual desire is also closely associated with relationship quality. Most adults associate feelings of desire with passionate love, and research reveals that dating partners who experience higher levels of desire for each other are more satisfied with the relationship, less likely to consider leaving the current partner, and less likely to engage in infidelity than are partners who feel lesser amounts of desire (Regan, 2000). The recognition that sexual desire has implications for a variety of important individual life events as well as for the emotional tenor and the adjustment of romantic relationships has led to an increased interest in delineating the causes and correlates of this particular sexual experience. Some researchers have examined external causes (e.g., erotic media), whereas others have explored interpersonal causes (e.g., conflict; for a review, see Regan & Berscheid, 1999). However, most have focused on causes located within or under the control of the individual. Of the myriad intraindividual causes that have been targeted as possible precursors to sexual desire, hormones and hormonal processes have received the lion's share of empirical attention.
Four major classes of hormone - the sex hormones - have been implicated in the experience of sexual desire. The sex hormones are produced by several of the various glands that comprise the endocrine system, including the adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, the ovaries in women, and the testes in men. Androgens, or masculinizing hormones, are primarily synthesized in the testes and the adrenal cortex and to a lesser extent in the ovaries. The primary naturally occurring androgens are testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone. Estrogens, or feminizing hormones, are secreted by the ovaries, with lesser amounts manufactured in the testes, adrenal cortex, and peripheral tissues. During pregnancy, the placenta is a major source of estrogens. The primary naturally occurring estrogenic hormones are estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Progesterone, like the estrogens, is primarily produced by the ovaries (and, during pregnancy, the placenta), with lesser amounts manufactured in the adrenal cortex and testes. And finally, prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland in both sexes.
Researchers interested in examining the association between hormones and hormonal processes and sexual desire have followed one of two methodological approaches. The first method involves measuring the serum or plasma level of free (unbound or bioavailable) hormone and then correlating that level with subjective reports of sexual response (for a review of this literature, see Regan, 1999). …

Corbett's agenda creeps ahead slowly
HARRISBURG — State lawmakers signaled on Tuesday they are moving ahead with two of Gov. Tom Corbett's top priorities — raising billions for transportation projects and slashing public pension costs — though serious questions about both remain.
The Senate Transportation Committee approved a $2.5 billion transportation bill, underwritten primarily by an increase in a wholesale gas tax that is expected to be passed on to drivers at the pump. The 13-1 committee vote brought together urban Democrats and conservative midstate Republicans.
"Four years ago, Gov. Rendell drove a bus through my district and announced at every stop in the 41st District that I have the worst roads and bridges per capita of any other senatorial district in the state of Pennsylvania," Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, told the packed committee hearing room. "I was with him then, and ... in my area, the effect is going to be just huge."
The Senate's transportation bill is larger than the $1.8 billion that Corbett initially sought, and House Republican leaders are cool to such a large gas tax increase.
Meanwhile, key lawmakers said they will introduce Corbett's pension overhaul plan in separate but similar House and Senate bills in spite of resistance from some GOP leaders and vocal opposition from Democrats and employee unions.
The plan would reduce pension benefits for more than 370,000 current state and school employees, beginning in 2015, to save about $12 billion over 30 years.
Sen. Mike Brubaker of Lancaster County said that unless drastic measures are taken, the unfunded liability of the state's two major pension funds will reach $65 billion by 2018, forcing spending cuts or tax increases.
On Friday, Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, said the Senate may limit the focus of any benefit cuts to new hires because of questions about the legality of Corbett's more far-reaching proposal to freeze the benefits for all employees and replace them with reduced benefits in 2015.
Unions have vowed to challenge Corbett's proposal in court if it is approved by the Legislature.
The moves occur as the Republican-controlled Legislature scrambles to wrap up work on a budget and Corbett's priorities by July 1.

A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
