GM Vice-Chair: Bailout Can't Work
There's so much to hate about the proposed bailout of the Big 4 automakers (GM, Chrysler, Ford, and Tesla), that you can occasionally be forgiven for forgetting some of the problems with the idea. The Journal's Holman Jenkins points out the most basic flaw: it can't work. Leave it to Bob Lutz, GM's voluble vice chairman, to puncture the unreality of the auto bailout he himself | Read More »

Saint Louis University - Madrid CampusMadrid, Spain
- 2 Masters
The University
Saint Louis University is a Jesuit, Catholic university ranked among the top research institutions in the United States. The University fosters the intellectual and character development of more than 13,000 students, over 650 of whom pursue their studies in Madrid, Spain. Through teaching, research, health care and community service, Saint Louis University has provided one-of-a-kind education, leadership and service for 190 years.
Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is the oldest university west of the Mississippi River and the second oldest Jesuit university in the United States. Its campus in Madrid, originally established in the 1960s as a study abroad destination, is the first free-standing campus in Europe operated by a U.S.-based University and is recognized by Spain's higher education authority as an official foreign university, the first U.S. institution to hold this endorsement. Today, students from more than 65 countries earn either U.S. 4-year undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees or, in the case of study abroad students, credits towards their degrees from their home campuses.
Madrid, Spain. Spain´s capital, with a population of more than 4 million, is politically, culturally, and geographically the heart of Spain. From the Prado Museum to the Royal Palace, the city´s spectacular cultural offerings are surpassed only by its vibrant nightlife. SLU - Madrid is located in the city, amidst many Spanish public and private universities with easy access to the historic city center
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at Saint Louis University - Madrid Campus!
It is our pleasure to introduce our highly equipped conference and meeting rooms as well as our hospitality services.
During the day, IBS Theatre Hall - previously known as IBS Stage - operates as the schools biggest auditorium, in the evenings and at weekends it serves as a venue for theatrical performances and concerts.
The IBS Theatre Hall is well-equipped and suitable for housing conferences, meetings, galas and professional events. In the foyer you can find a buffet and a cloakroom adjacent to the garden, terrace and the parking area.
The IBS Pub is nicely furnished and has an airy terrace and a passage to the English park. The pub with its delicate and sophisticated choice of food and drink is a convenient place for organising garden parties, meetings and cabaret shows. Our garden is a real oasis in spring, summer and autumn. The terrace is shaded by a roof, shielding it from the rain or the sun. This place is highly suitable for cocktail parties, banquets or weddings. In summer, we stage outdoor concerts and performances which can be ordered separately.
Capacity (Pub):
Capacity (Terrace):
Located on the ground floor of the IBS building, the IBS Restaurant has a huge window overlooking the front garden and a direct entrance from Tárogató Street. It is easy to approach from the parking area and from the back garden as well. A big asset of the restaurant is that the room is not pillared or divided so the decoration and arrangement can be altered. Company banquets, weddings, family reunions and musical programmes can be organised in the restaurant.
Capacity (Restaurant):
Full catering service is provided on the IBS premises. Hot and cold food is available by self-service or served by waiters. Quality food and professional service is offered for weddings, meetings and conferences.

The main responsibility of the IBS Student Union is the representation and protection of students as well as the organization of student life. It is practicing the rights granted to the students by the higher education laws and the IBS rules and regulations.
The IBS Students Union is dedicated to improve the lives of our fellow students and to engage with them through the help of clear communications. The Student Unions homepage is aimed at providing students with information on who we are, what we do, and how we can be reached, while giving fellow students space for discussions, comments and interactivity.
IBS Freshmen's Camp
The Freshmen's camp is an event which its participants will never forget. The camp provides the very first opportunity for new students to peek into the community life of the university and get a feel of what exactly it means to be a part of an international community. Here, they get to know other members of their class through ever more exciting events and festivities spanning several days, after which everybody departs with useful and beneficial experiences and wonderful memories with which they can begin their first year in the higher education system.
IBS Freshmen's Ball
After the Freshmen have gotten used to the new surroundings at IBS, adapted to the international environment, made new friends, and have begun to tune into the atmosphere that the older students call the "IBS lifestyle," comes the Freshman's Ball. At a location consistent with IBS' standards, the ball is planned under the most exclusive circumstances, where at least 70% of the student body is present and where the Freshmen take their oath.
IBS Ski Camp
Every year an unforgettable and unmissable IBS ski trip is planned for the students. The period of time between the end of all the final examinations and the start of the new semester provides the perfect opportunity to relax and recover from all the stress and hardships caused by the examination period through a week non-stop partying and "chilling" in conjunction with skiing or snowboarding at one of Europe's best ski terrains.
While elsewhere there are end-of-semester parties, at IBS the so-called "SprIngBS" event turns this into a two day event, where we can enjoy the beautiful weather at a deluxe hotel on the shores of the Lake Balaton. Here, we look back upon the semester's successes, take the opportunity to make new friends, and enjoy ourselves with those we've known for a longer time. The IBS Student Union is responsible for and ensures a wide variety of events and programs, a lively atmosphere, and electrifying nightly parties.

In his remake of �The Great Gatsby� director Baz Luhrmann has created a world of opulence� no big surprise considering his reputation for making big, visually stunning movies.
It�s not just the stars of the movie � Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan � but what they are wearing that has created a buzz for what�s been dubbed �the most stylish movie ever.�
Retailers from Kohl�s to Brooks Brothers, have stocked their shelves with modernized versions of the clothes and accessories from the period, a defining time for the fashion world.
�A prominent decade for fashion, the 1920s brought us the �flapper� trend: drop waist dresses, flirty fringe and shiny accessories,� says Ashley Thill, who is helping promote Kohl�s line of �Gatsby� inspired fashions.
Bold prints, Art Deco jewelry and feather and fringe are expected to be big sellers this summer thanks to the movie, due out Friday.

Bay Area Population Grows More Slowly
The population of the nine-county Bay Area is growing at its slowest pace since the U.S. Census Bureau began tracking it in the mid-1800s. The region had 7.15 million people in 2010, up just 5.4% from 6.78 million at the last census, in 2000. Until now, the slowest-growing decade was the 1930s. During the past decade, people eschewed the costly Bay Area in favor of inland areas, said Hans Johnson, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. That stands in contrast to the 1990s, when the region's population grew 13% thanks to the high-tech boom. One trend that has continued, though, is that the region is growing more diverse, with ever-increasing Latino and Asian populations.

Well, personally I think the headline should really be: "The technology that could save humanity if big business would let it," but still a very interesting article.
It's solar thermal energy which is different from solar panels in that it creates heat not electricity from solar rays (and then the heat is used to create electricity and power).
Clearly, the world needs a massive amount of carbon-free electricity by 2050 to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions....
This electricity must meet a number of important criteria. It must be affordable...at most about 10 cents per kilowatt hour, a price that would probably beat nuclear power and would certainly beat coal with carbon capture and storage...The electricity cannot be intermittent and hard to store, as is energy from wind power and solar photovoltaics. We need power that either stays constant day and night or, even better, matches electricity demand, which typically rises in the morning, peaks in the late afternoon, and lasts late into the evening.
This carbon-free electricity must provide thousands of gigawatts of power and make use of a low-cost fuel that has huge reserves accessible to both industrialized and developing countries. It should not make use of much freshwater or arable land, which are likely to be scarce in a climate-changed world with 3 billion more people.
Solar electric thermal, also known as concentrated solar power (CSP), meets all these criteria.

Gerald Green eager to prove he belongs in the NBA
On the day Gerald Green was given a blank page to write the next chapter of his career, he took one of sports most used idioms to a new level in describing his eagerness to prove he belongs in the NBA. "I'm so hungry I could eat this phone," Green said during a telephone interview Wednesday, the day he became an unrestricted free agent. Green, the 6-foot-8 swingman who surrendered a scholarship to Oklahoma State in 2005 to jump straight to the NBA, is now a four-year veteran. He's played for four different coaches on four different teams. "It's been a roller-coaster," said Green about the start to his career. "It's gone up and down and in circles. But I don't ever give up." It's low-risk, high-reward players like Green that Thunder general manager Sam Presti has become known for targeting. Green turned only 23 in January and figures to be four years from entering into the prime of his career. For now, he's seemingly a cost-effective option that potentially could provide Oklahoma City with another perimeter shooter and rangy defender on the wing. And after four seasons of instability, Green is out to established himself as more than a dunker and better than a bust. "I've come through a lot just to get to the league, and now that I'm here I'm going through a lot more," Green said. "So when I say I'm so hungry for it, it's because I can't wait. I really can't." Green tasted his first professional tribulation before he officially became a pro. Projected as a lottery pick in the 2005 draft, he fell to Boston at pick No. 18. He stepped onto a Celtics roster with established wing players in Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis. Injuries to Wally Szczerbiak in Green's second season allowed Green to flash his potential with a 10.4-point scoring averaging in 22 minutes per game. But Green was traded to Minnesota in the Kevin Garnett deal in July 2007 and was on the short end of an even larger logjam behind Rashard McCants, Ryan Gomes and Corey Brewer. Green's scoring averaged dipped to a career-low 5.1 points in 29 games before a mid-season trade to Houston. He lasted just two weeks in Houston, playing in one game before being released when the injury-plagued Rockets needed frontcourt relief. Green spent last season in Dallas after signing a one-year contract. He played in 38 games and averaged 5.2 points in 9.9 minutes. Now, he's looking for his next chance. But Green knows his reputation for having great character is superseded in coaching and GM circles by the tag of him not being a hard worker. It's a label Green desperately wants to shed — so much so that he's taken up boxing this summer as a form of conditioning to supplement the time he spends in the weight room and on the practice court. "I always hear about how I'm a bust or I'm this or I'm that," Green said. "I just want to prove everybody wrong. I've just really been trying to control my own part by being in the gym and becoming a better player. The more work you put in the better you get because of it." And Green insists he's learned much throughout his NBA odyssey, taking something from players and coaches each step of the way. Thanks to Doc Rivers, Green says he's now aggressive and no longer the tentative teenager he entered the league as four seasons ago. Randy Wittman, he says, taught him to give it his all on every possession. Rick Adelman's planning and preparation skills rubbed off during his brief stint in Houston. And because of Rick Carlisle, Green has slowed down on the court. He sees the floor better, has improved his shot selection and has reduced his turnovers. Gym rats like Dirk Nowitzki and Yao Ming, Green said, taught him the value of hard work. And with the help of former Mavs assistant coach Mario Elie, now with Sacramento, Green said he's blossoming into more than just an athlete and has developed a better understanding of fundamentals and basketball concepts. Elie has worked on Green's footwork and got him studying more film during his free time. When asked what areas of his game he's seeking to improve this summer, Green responded, "Everything, but really I want to be that defender that I know I can be." It's a desire that could raise some eyebrows in the defensive-minded Thunder's front office. "It was a lot to take in coming out of high school," Green said. "But I think by playing and even sitting on the bench watching and looking at film I still learned. And as years have gone by I feel like I'm a lot more experienced and more mentally prepared for the game."

Ask Christianbook
Q: Any violence? My kids are more sensitive to violence than others. Considering this is about a war, can anyone give me any specifics as to what is shown. I understand that there's probably not bloody battles or anything, but I guess I'm asking about how much peril, death, and violence.
It's been a while since my kids watched this show, but I dont' remember violence being excessive. The focus was really more on the history and characters. It's a great tool for kids to learn about history.One of our product reviews for this DVD set states "My 6 year old loves it and the content isn't too intense for his 4 year old brother to be in the room with him."

Can workers' rights and social protections be reconciled with firms' competitiveness and productivity? In contrast to current development policy advice, which emphasizes the "flexibilization" of labour laws, this article contributes to an ongoing debate about styles of inspection by exploring the causal links between different regulatory practices and economic development and compliance outcomes. Findings from subnational comparisons in Brazil challenge established theories about the behaviours of firms and regulatory agencies, and indicate that labour inspectors have been able to promote sustainable compliance (legal and technical solutions linking up workers' rights with firms' performance) by combining punitive and pedagogical inspection practices.

On November 2, Google announced [1] a new layout on the results page for some desktop searches. Currently, paid search ads typically are shown above and to the right of the organic search results. With the new change, paid search ads that were previously shown in the right rail may in some cases appear below them.
(Ads showing to the right of organic search results)
(Ads showing below organic search results)
This new iteration of the standard search results page will include three paid ads at the top of the page and three at the bottom. This layout mimics Google's current search results page on tablet computers.
According to Google, their objective with the new placement is to improve user experience and the flow of the search results page. "Starting today, ads that have previously shown to the side of the results may in some cases appear below them. We dynamically optimize each search page, including its ads, to provide the best experience for our users," explained [1] Jerry Dischler, Director, Search Ads Product Management in a blog post announcing the change. "In many cases, we have found that displaying ads below search results fits better into the user's flow as they scan the page from top to bottom. On average, this placement performed better than side ads in terms of click-through rate in our tests."
Why would Google make this change?
At first, it may seem counter-intuitive. Google is actually reducing the number of ads that appear above the fold. Fewer advertisements could result in an overall reduction in paid clicks. And it could discourage some smaller advertisers from even bidding on the keyword, thereby reducing competition and lowering prices for everyone. Actually, the opposite is probably true.
Higher Cost-per-Clicks- Competition for premium ad positions, the top 3, is likely to increase with this change, resulting in increased CPC metrics.
- Assuming that 85 percent of paid search revenue can be attributed to premium ad placements, we can conclude that Google will need to boost in premium CPCs by 15 percent in order to break even, given the (predicted) loss incurred from removing ads from the right hand rail.
Increased competition for premium positions will require advertisers with less relevant content and lower quality scores to bid even higher on ads to stay above the fold. In this respect, Google is staying true to their mission of rewarding those advertisers that offer the best ad experience, provide the most relevant content based on the searcher's intent, and have a well-optimized landing page.
More relevant results, better user experience- Google has introduced several new updates over the past few months, aimed at improving the quality of search results and user experience. The decision to add paid ads below the fold reflects Google's recent initiatives, demanding higher quality, more relevant content.
How will the change impact search marketers?
How the change impacts paid search marketers depends on how Google ultimately balances the relationship between Quality Score and cost-per-click. We expect that CPC will increase as a result of the new placement, but overall click volume should remain constant.
Increased importance of landing page relevance and quality- To improve their competitive standing, marketers will need to focus on the quality and relevancy of their landing pages.
- Improved landing page quality is part of an initiative Google pushed forward at the beginning of October. Thanks to the changes [4], landing page experience now carries more weight in calculating AdWords Quality Score.
Budget impact will vary depending on the advertiser and the keyword- Many advertisers who drew traffic from positions 4-9 could be in a difficult position moving forward. In order to maintain their current traffic and conversion levels, many of these advertisers will need to increase their bids or quickly shift budget to alternative channels..
Recommendations going forward
Every account is different, and the specific tactics will depend on your current mix of keywords and bids. In general, here are some steps you can take to ensure your overall performance doesn't suffer as a result of Google's latest change:
- Re-segment campaigns into higher-position (1-3) and lower position campaigns
- Bid up position 3.5/4 keywords that were profitable to maintain that traffic
- Get more targeted – figure out what is the core of your business and where you want to pay to play
- Review all campaigns and do a gut check– divide them by two (top position campaign, lower position campaigns) and figure out where you need to bid up to stay in the game.
- Do more testing – isolate those keywords that are on the fringe and press those keywords that can still work when you bid up to stay above position 3.
- If much of your converting traffic has come from positions 4 and below, its time to quickly figure out:
- How to get more value out of the traffic you have. This can include:
- Display re-marketing
- Re-targeting
- Landing page optimization- bidding up with an improved landing page may have a positive impact on quality score.
- In what other channels you can make up for this lost traffic.
- Google Display Network
- Google Content network
- Social Media
- How to get more value out of the traffic you have. This can include:
Google is constantly testing and making changes to its ubiquitous results page. Although this one seems like it could have a more far-reaching impact – especially if Google ends up implementing it on more desktop searches – our approach remains the same: thoughtful intervention based on experience and best practices, followed by methodical analysis of the data. Measurement of the true impact on performance will take some time. We plan to measure the impact of this change on our campaigns and report back on our findings.
In the meantime, leave a comment and let us know how the change has impacted your accounts. Are you seeing higher CPCs on certain keywords? Any big swings between brand and non-brand terms?

Backers of Arizona Law Hope Suit Creates Precedent
The Obama administration's lawsuit against Arizona's immigration law sets up a likely Supreme Court clash over state versus federal power that some supporters of the measure hope establishes a new precedent.
Precedent suggests the Obama administration has the upper hand in the Justice Department's suit. Federal courts, dating back to laws in the 1880s aimed at limiting Chinese immigration, have given the federal government wide latitude to regulate such matters. But in recent decades, courts have also allowed state laws that rely on federal law, such as those denying state benefits to illegal immigrants.
The Justice Department argues Arizona's law goes well beyond the intent of federal law by requiring state law enforcement to check the immigration status of anyone suspected of being illegal.
More broadly, federal courts have sided with the federal government in cases of states and cities passing laws that conflict with federal law. In 2006, the Justice Department successfully sued Massachusetts to block a law regulating shipping that aimed to stop oil spills, but which the courts found went beyond federal maritime laws.
Still, the lawsuit against Arizona sets up a likely Supreme Court clash that some conservatives hope establishes a new precedent. Already, the high court is weighing a separate Arizona law establishing penalties for employers that don't check the immigration status of employees, which the Justice Department argues impinges on federal immigration authority.
Legal experts say the weakest part of the Arizona law is language that makes unlawful presence in the country a state crime. That appears to conflict with federal law, which doesn't classify unlawful presence as a crime, legal experts say.
"I think the federal government is going to win and the Arizona law is going to be shown to be unconstitutional," said Karl M. Manheim, professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. "States don't have any power to regulate immigration."
But some supporters say the Arizona law has strengths that could provide courts the opportunity to block only some parts of the law, while keeping much of it intact. The law allows other sections to stand even if a portion were to be declared unconstitutional.
Federal law doesn't expressly pre-empt states from passing statutes governing immigrants, said John Eastman, dean of the Chapman University Law School and an unsuccessful candidate for California state attorney general this year. He said the most important part of the Arizona law, allowing state law enforcement to enforce federal law, could survive even if much of the law were thrown out. "I like the chances of succeeding over the Justice Department," he said.
Justice Department officials for weeks have studied the Arizona law to decide the best avenue for challenge. Their job was complicated when the Arizona legislature altered the law soon after its initial passage to explicitly ban racial profiling, according to people familiar with the Justice Department's review.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday makes no mention of profiling, only noting that some people may be harassed as a result of the law because the federal government has allowed their continued presence in the country while not yet providing them legal documents.
"I think anyone that lives in Arizona has to view DOJ's suit as a slap in the face," said Robert Driscoll, an attorney for Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The Justice Department is separately investigating Mr. Arpaio's department over allegations of racial profiling, which he has denied.

Our 2015 Annual report is out.Click below to read the impact of our work in 2015.
Goats for Girls Campaign
Give a goat, and transform a girl's life!
The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction has worked for almost 60 years to educate children and young adults in economically vulnerable communities.
Our Goats for Girls program in Ethiopia is a highly effective way to support young girls' education by providing a sustainable source of income for girls who are at risk of dropping out of school. With the income from goats, girls can pay their school fees, purchase school supplies, and avoid forced or arranged early marriage.
By owning goats, girls earn respect, dignity, self-reliance, and self-worth and become role models in their communities.
Goats Work!
Through the Goats for Girls program, IIRR gives one male and one female goat to each individual girl. A pair of goats will reproduce at least twice a year, creating an exponentially expanding herd. Goats are also hardy, drought-tolerant, and disease-resistant.
Each girl in the program is required to pass on two of her goats' offspring to another girl, creating an expanding network of economically empowered girls.
In 2012, IIRR donated two goats each to 73 girls in rural Ethiopia. The offspring of those original goats have grown so that over 500 girls now have at least two goats! The sale of just one baby goat will cover the cost of one half year school term.
The program has been so successful that IIRR will not only continue the program in Ethiopia, but will expand it to Uganda and northern Kenya this year.
Our goal for the coming year is to enroll 1,000 additional girls in the Goats for Girls program to keep them in school!
Education Matters
Numerous studies have shown that primary and secondary education for girls is instrumental in increasing lifetime income, reducing unwanted pregnancies, and breaking the cycle of poverty.
The Goats for Girls program aims to economically empower girls by increasing enrollment, retention, and progress in school.
By donating a goat to a girl, you can support IIRR's work at the forefront of the struggle to improve lives.
Your gift of $30 will purchase one mature goat that
will be matched by another donor. This gift multiplies as each girl
passes on baby goats to other girls. You can also contribute any amount you are able to.

Skip to comments.Help! (Teen losing debates on gay marriage)
Posted on 12/01/2003 8:29:13 PM PST by panther33
Greetings from a fellow FReeper!
I am a fervent debater, and most anybody who's ever met me in person can testify to that. One of the most controversial issues I have been debating lately has been gay marriage. Does the U.S. government have a right to ban gay marriage? Can America justify making homosexuality illegal?
As a proud Christian, I believe whole-heartedly in the Bible. There isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that the Bible finds homosexuality to be a highly immoral practice. However, when I am arguing with atheists or followers of other religions, especially over a political issues, it seems to be virtually impossible to quote the Bible in any way. If they don't believe in the Book, how can I use it in my argument?
I am consequently faced with a perplexing dilemma: to argue a moral issue without injecting religion.
Bottom line, I need help--ideas, suggestions, web site links, thought-provoking comments, etc. Below I've written down a couple of random thoughts relating to the topic, and I would greatly appreciate your input.
- What about the argument that society is constantly outlawing activities it deems to be immoral and unbecoming of a United States citizen? (stealing, killing, lying) How do I respond to those who try to point out differences between, for example, stealing some gadgets from Radio Shack and marrying a member of the same sex?
- The Tenth Amendment essentially gives states any right not expressed in the Constitution. Does this mean that it is up to each individual state to decide whether or not to allow gay marriages?
No, morality should be irrelevant to the legal process. What should matter is whether the action in question is causing unreasonable harm to unwilling victims.
Harm is a pretty simple concept: anything negative.
I have to say "unreasonable" harm, because for some people, even just thinking about the fact that their gay neighbors are sodomizing each other harms them. Well, that's too flipping bad, that's not the kind of "harm" that should be outlawed (any more than someone could claim to be harmed by "witchcraft," or because they didn't like having black people in their neighborhood).
The question of "unwilling" victims is also important. While it might generally be wrong to hit someone in the face, if it is part of a consensual sexual act (lots of weird people out there). Of course, this doctrine holds that children are incapable of granting consent to harm, so they can't "agree" to be abused or molested. If someone put a big poster of a nekkid woman in front of their house, such that it was visible from your lawn, (and you didn't like it) you would be an "unwilling victim," and could reasonably claim to be harmed. But if they want to put that same grossly immoral poster up in their bedroom and think dirty thoughts while looking at it, there's nothing the law should be able to do to them.
This is a gross oversimplification of the libertarian position on how the law should function, but this is how non-bible thumpers think. No, of course we are not impressed by arguments that "the Bible says it's wrong, so we should make it illegal," any more than we accept the authority of the Koran or the Vedas. It is not a question of being atheists: the person who taught me this philosophy is a dedicated Christian who liked to share this fact with his class. He was in no way ashamed of his belief or an atheist. This legal philosophy has very little to do with atheism.
I am consequently faced with a perplexing dilemma: to argue a moral issue without injecting religion.
They are two very separate issues, the morality of something and the question of whether or not it should be illegal. Even if you managed to convince someone that homosexuality was immoral, it would take much, much more to convince them that it should be illegal. We allow all sorts of immorality in our society.
It should be no less legal for a man to put on a dress, apply some makeup, and go to a bar looking for a man for a one-night stand than it should be for a woman to put on a dress, apply some makeup, and go to a bar looking for a man for a one-night stand. The law has no business getting into questions of "morality."
(all of my examples are sexual, but the intersection of law and morality tends to involve sex more than anything else)
- What about the argument that society is constantly outlawing activities it deems to be immoral and unbecoming of a United States citizen? (stealing, killing, lying) How do I respond to those who try to point out differences between, for example, stealing some gadgets from Radio Shack and marrying a member of the same sex?
Libertarians hold that society doesn't punish these things because they are immoral, it punishes them because they violate the libertarian principle I describe above. To a libertarian, the difference between stealing from radio shack and sodomizing a willing adult is night and day. To even think of equating the two is absurd. It would be like equating adultery and drunk driving. The two are completely unrelated. Sure, Christians might think sodomy is wrong, but Jews think we aren't supposed to eat dead pig (mmmmm.... dead pig... take that, G-d!), and according to the Koran, it's immoral to own a dog as a pet, because dogs are filthy animals.
Think of where this leads, logically: if we are going to base our laws on morality, we need to decide on ONE standard of morality. I suppose that would mean picking Christianity over other religions. Then we would have to decide on the proper interpretation of Christianity (because there are plenty of people out there who believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior, etc. etc. and don't think homosexuality is immoral). What you would end up setting up is a big "Bible Court" which would interpret the Bible as if it were a legal document. That is remarkably similar to what many Muslim countries have, which is Shari'a law. To serve as a judge, a Muslim must have either legal or religious training. I don't think that sort of system will fly here in America.
So would we have some sort of compromise, whereby leaders of the major religions in America would come to some sort of general agreement about what is and is not moral, and what should be outlawed? Who would accept this compromise?
Before you say "that's preposturous, nobody would suggest such a thing," take a step back and realize that you basically are arguing for this consensus-based idea of what is and is not immoral: Adultery should be legal because most people think so; homosexuality should be made illegal because most people think it's immoral. That's your argument. "Morality" turns into "whatever the majority wants," which is vulgar democracy unchecked by Constitutional protections for individual rights.
I just like to remind people that anal sex is pathogenic. It seems like this is the most under reported fact when people are discussing homosexuality. I was writing in response to a poster who disagreed with me and said that getting a disease from anal sex was no more likely than getting a disease from vaginal sex. This is just not true. I am glad you know this but I am disappointed that this is not obvious.
As I stated earlier, it is never a good idea to engage in behavior which gets poo-poo on your pee-pee.
The evidence is unequivocal that the best environment in which to raise a child is a stable, loving heterosexual marriage, period. Now of course I would want to show nothing but support for parents who find themselves outside of that ideal arrangement through no fault of their own (like a widowed single mother). And that is not to say that some homosexual couples couldn't do a better job raising kids than some heterosexual couples.
But to consciously choose to conceive and raise a child in an environment that is known to be fundamentally flawed (i.e., no mommy or no daddy) is flat-out selfish. That many heterosexual couples have children for selfish reasons does not justify us compounding the problem by expanding the practice.
So while I don't find it practical or reasonable to explicitly prohibit such inferior parental arrangements from occurring, I see no reason why the government should legitimize through official sanction anything but the best possible choice. What the government sanctions it encourages.
Not the same, for reasons I stated in #322. An infertile couple is fundamentally more qualified to provide the best possible environment for adoptive childrearing than a homosexual couple.
Certainly some homosexual couples can do better than some heterosexual couples. But the best homosexual couple will with certainty be inferior to the best heterosexual couple.
Urine is sterile. Normally urine does not contain bacteria. Feces is 85% bacteria. That is why drinking urine is harmless and eating feces is deadly.
I am not telling people what to do. In order to give informed consent you should be informed. Anal sex is disease producing. You have the right to engage in behavior that spreads disease and damages tissue. I have the right to tell people anal sex is bad for your health.
If someone argues that homosexuality is genetic then they are arguing out of ignorance. The genetics argument has been destroyed. According to the experts, the major factor in determining homsexuality is environment. This is greatly re-inforced by the fact that thousands have left the homosexual lifestyle.
As I see it, A compassionate society should discourage deadly homosexual behavior and those who encourage a deadly behavior are friends to nobody.
That is because you are young and foolish. You may indeed have a right to pursue happiness (and perhaps love as a part of that happiness), but there is no guarantee of actually obtaining the goal. If you must take something that does not belong to you in order for you to feel "love", or harm another to feel "love", then clearly any such right does not extend to such actions. And unfortunately for the sodomites, they are taking something that doesn't belong to them when they attempt to claim the sacrament of marriage.
This is America and in this wonderful country there can be no discrimination in the laws...can there?
Of course there can. Laws must discriminate; otherwise they are intrinsically unjust. Criminal laws much discriminate between the innocent and the guilty. Tort laws must discriminate between who has been unjustly injured and those who are responsible for that injury. Civil laws must discriminate based on a variety of factors if justice is to be found in the courts.
Just to remind the people of this country...there was along time ago a decision that church could no longer influence the State
No there wasn't. There was a decision made that Congress could not recognize a particular establishment of religion, or prohibit its free exercise. To suggest that religion cannot influence government is to suggest that only the amoral are suitable for roles in government, a condition that would rapidly create the worst of tyrannies.
If we as a country are to shape the world, we must learn to get over the morality of the Bible and move on with the government.
Civilization is a very fragile thing. If you were not so ignorant of history, you would know what happens when the veneer of religious morality is stripped from government. If you insist upon endeavoring toward such a path, I suggest you obtain a good winter coat; it gets very cold in the death camps.
Homosexuality is a healthy and normal feeling that we as humans have gone through for centuries
Wanting to make something true doesn't make it true. The fact is that homosexuality is not healthy; one need only look at statistics to prove that point.
Why now is it wrong to be happy? Many cultures have expressed acceptance to it,
This is true. But none of them survived such acceptance for very long and retained their civilization.
Why do you have the right to marry and not homosexuals?
Heterosexuals do not have the right to marry either. It is not a right; it is a privilege. From a religious perspective, man did not create marriage; God did. Thus, it is His intellectual property, and His to do with as He sees fit. If you deny the existence of the Deity, then the issue becomes even more clear, since it is only the whim of the state that determines what "rights" you have, and if the state denies you the privilege of marriage (or grants it, as in what may be the case soon in MA) then so be it.
It is not right and in our Constitution, does it not say the people have the right to be happy.
No, it does not say that anywhere at all in the Constitution (a document I suspect you have never read).
Whether or not you yourself believe that it is the right thing to do, does not matter in how the laws must be written. Thus, I must profess that you need to GET OVER IT!!!
If rights are endowed by the Creator, then marriage exists only as He has ordained it, between a man and a woman. If those rights do not come from the Creator, then they are an artifact of the state, and since the state is an invention of the people then the people have a retained power to establish the institution of marriage as they see fit, and may direct government to set rules and regulations to enforce their (perhaps arbitrary in your opinion) will.
Why is it wrong? Because religious texts are constantly in use in formulating public policy! Even today, by every level of legislative, judicial and executive body I know of.
Take the current Supreme Court -- they have considered arguments from the Jewish Talmud in a recent death penality case.
Or take Thangsgiving! A Federal, a National, Holiday. As in "Holy Day". A day DECLARED by Presidents, Judges and Legislators to be put aside for a "religious" purpose.
Did your "friends" celebate that? Ask them? Ask them if they "Thanked Darwin" at the start and/or end of the meal.
Why is it foolish? It is foolish of you to waste time arguing with people whose "rules of evidence" are so narrow and restrictive some prejudicial outcome is assured before any argument starts. They kow it too! They want to make a fool of you.
In my book, such mean or vain-glorious attempts to make others the fool are the deepest indication that those who so attempt are fools themselves.
Why is it imbecilic? It is most assuredly so dumb, so empty of intellectual scrutiny, so unsustainable a premise in the face of any level of scholarship (that means reviewing existing texts and researching history) to be imbecilic.
Secularism, darwinism, scientificism and such are ALL religious belief systems. That there practitioners may refuse to be label "religious" is of no import in an absolute sense.
You can't. You'll have to find something else to support your viewpoint if you want to win.
Then I guess Clinton didn't really have sexual relations with that woman....Monica Lewinsky.

Good afternoon.
You all know that wordpress comes with a category.php template that says what and how to display when accessing a category page.
But this works ALSO for subcategories.
My question is simple, is there a way to create a subcategory.php that becomes the template for subcategories only and not for categories?
So category pages will show up using category.php but subcategories will show up using subcategory.php
Thank you very much

Unable to add to Eclipse IDE

I tried many times to add this plugin to my Eclipse IDE but failed since the update site can not be found. I could find the the latest version of ProGuard i.e vs4.8 on sourceforge. Has this been discontinued from here? Also after 16 June 2010 there is no update for this.

Hi guys, first time poster here.
Ive had my current bike for about 10 years and am ready to making the jump to a full suspension bike.
After looking around for the last few weeks, Im trying to decide between 3 Giant bikes.
1. Giant Anthem 3 06 model
2. Giant Anthem 2
3. Giant Trance 2
Ive got the 06 Anthem 3 on hold, but its only a 16 and I need an 18. She told me I could buy the 16 and buy an 18 frame and swap the components and then sell the 16 frame. But that just sounds like a lot of work to me. Seems it would be easier to just buy an 18 to start with.
Im interested in hearing some opinions of the bikes from somebody other than the guy behind the counter trying to sell me one.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Simple Yet Efficient, Transparent Airtime Allocation for TCP in Wireless Mesh Networks
Previous work has shown that TCP flows can starve in a multi-hop wireless mesh network because they fail to effectively contend for the channel. In this paper, the authors explore a simple yet effective technique that explicitly allocates airtime to each active pair of communicating neighbors in a wireless neighborhood so that starvation is avoided. The explicit allocation is efficient, redistributing unused airtime and also accounting for airtime rendered unusable by external interference. The technique is also transparent to TCP/IP and the 802.11 MAC, requiring no modifications to either of these, and is responsive to short flows, MAC-layer auto rate adaptation, and other dynamics, as they demonstrate in extensive experiments on two indoor testbeds.

1997 Mercedes-Benz C280 (3 Reviews)
Have had the vehicle only a few months, it has 145,000 miles and still looks and runs like new. Only problem is head liner is starting to fall.
After having driven hundreds of cars in 40 years, this is my favorite, hands down. Bought it 5 years ago with 30k miles, now I have 140k and it still hasn't given me a reason to sell it. A few things I had to do early on and they were expensive; head gasket and oil pan gasket replaced, water pump replaced, and about $2k into the transmission. Everything else has been sensor related. 29+ mpg at 70mpg! unbelievable turning radius, quiet and really comfortable. The best city car you can drive.
2nd owner. Only 4 problems we have had, replacing head lamp bulbs, noise in front wheel area, possible brake,idle arm, or tie rod (going to get it checked), headliner came down in rear of vehicle (could have been last summer when my children decided to use it to do lawn work and leaving a can of gasoline in the trunk, I believe the vapors caused it. The biggest problem is hiding the keys from my 21 year old and his 18 year old twin brothers.
