Following an appeals court's divided decision upholding the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act, opponents of the measure are racing the clock to file an appeal to the US Supreme Court and have it heard during the court's current term.
A spokesperson for the Center for Constitutional Rights, the New York-based legal advocacy group that brought the original suit, told IPS it expected the appeal to be filed within the next two weeks and heard in the spring.
Earlier this week, a federal appeals court ruled 2-1 that detainees in US custody at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have no right to challenge their imprisonment in federal courts. The decision upheld the core of the Military Commissions Act (MCA), which was passed in a close vote last year by a Republican-controlled congress. The law stripped federal civilian courts of jurisdiction to hear habeas corpus petitions, giving President George W. Bush the right to indefinitely hold detainees outside the US without charges. The ruling affects some 400 prisoners still held at Guantanamo Bay, but could also establish a precedent affecting prisoners held by the US in Afghanistan and in CIA "secret prisons" in other countries.
The Court's majority decision found that overruling the MCA would "defy the will of congress," and asserted that habeas corpus does not apply to foreigners who are not in the US. It effectively ruled that the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay is a property leased by the US from Cuba, and that Cuba has sovereignty over it.
Two other appeals courts as well as the US Supreme Court have previously upheld Guantanamo detainees' rights to contest their incarceration in federal courts, first in Rasul v. Bush in 2004 and then in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld in 2006. But in its Hamdan decision, the high court also said that Congress could take further action on the issue. That action resulted in the Military Commissions Act, setting up special military trials for the detainees and stripping civilian courts of jurisdiction.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
In her appeals court dissent, Judge Judith W. Rogers wrote that habeas corpus may indeed apply to foreign nationals outside the US and that the lawmakers' action had "exceeded the powers of Congress." The US Constitution stipulates that habeas may be suspended only "when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it." This is likely to be at the heart of the appeal to the Supreme Court.
The US Justice Department (DOJ) expressed approval of the ruling. It believes that foreign detainees enjoy no constitutional rights when they are detained in other countries.
Shayana Kadidal, managing attorney of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) Guantanamo Global Justice Initiative, told IPS that the MCA "also allows for evidence obtained through torture, - a violation of the Geneva Conventions - and greatly widens the scope of who the president can label an 'enemy combatant.'
The non-profit New York-based CCR represents many of the Guantanamo detainees and has played a central role in mobilizing legal representation for many others in custody.
Attorney Kadidal said, "This decision empowers the President to do whatever he wishes to prisoners without any legal limitation as long as he does it off shore, and encourages such notorious practices as extraordinary rendition and a contempt for international human rights law. Two of the three judges held that the President and the military may hold even innocent persons for as long they want without ever charging them so long as they are held offshore."
He added, "The opinion relies on hypertechnical analysis to circumvent the Supreme Court's clear mandate in their 2004 ruling: the detainees have the right to test the legality of their detentions in federal court. In every respect – the status of Guantanamo, the history of habeas corpus – the opinion ignores reality in favor of abstractions in order to come to the conclusion that even people the military admits are innocent and can be released have no right of access to the federal courts."
Kadidal charged that the court majority "is wrong on history as well – there are a myriad of examples of habeas review being granted to persons the king had detained in distant garrisons or islands like Jersey to keep them out of the reach of the English courts. Moreover, on the majority's reading, the common-law and constitutional rights to habeas have been frozen in time since 1789, and their opinion suggests that even US citizens could be kept in detention as long as the president holds them outside the territory of the United States."
He said he expects that "this will be the third time the DC Circuit's Guantanamo rulings are reversed by the Supreme Court."
Other human rights and legal advocacy groups have also condemned the appeal court ruling. Typical is Mary Shaw of Amnesty International USA, who said, "The appellate court's ruling that Guantanamo detainees may not challenge their detention in U.S. courts is an affront to the American justice system which had always been known for its commitment to due process and the rule of law. Hopefully an appeal to the Supreme Court will overturn this shameful decision. In the meantime, Amnesty International urges Congress to act quickly to reverse the damage caused by the Military Commissions Act of 2006."
The lower court's decision came as congress adjourned for the President's Day week-long recess, but congressional Democrats -- now a majority in both houses -- have already introduced legislation, co-sponsored by a powerful Republican, to amend the Military Commissions Act and restore habeas rights for detainees.
Senator Patrick J. Leahy, a Vermont Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and that committee's senior Republican, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, have introduced a bill that would restore habeas corpus rights.
Another bill was introduced recently by Senator Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, who is candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Dodd measure would return habeas corpus rights to detainees and clarify other parts of the law.
The proposed legislation also drew plaudits from parts of the US religious community. For example, The National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) announced its support for the Dodd and Leahy-Specter legislation.
"This legislation is urgently needed," said Jeanne Herrick-Stare, Chair of NRCAT
Coordinating Committee, "to not only restore the core elements of due process to our treatment of detainees, but also to restore the United States' role as a world leader in human rights."
Congressional sources say the appeals court decision is likely to accelerate legislative action, but point to the possibility that President Bush would exercise his veto power. Bush believes detainee policy is a central tenet of his "global war on terror." He has used his veto power only once in his six years in office – to nullify an act to permit wider federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Overturning a presidential veto requires the votes of two-thirds of Congress and, even with many Republicans currently trying to distance themselves from an unpopular president, it is unclear whether that many votes could be mustered.
More cynical observers say congressional Democrats would welcome a Bush veto, since that will leave the issue on the table for the 2008 elections.
But even if that's true, we can expect some passionate oratory on this issue when congress returns next week.

Moral Autism
That there is no outcry from the American people about issues surrounding the use of torture, extraordinary rendition, and abrogation of habeas corpus, must be taken as reliable evidence that we, as a people, are--quite simply--morally autistic. If those who don't profess to be followers of the Christ do not opposes these things, then it is just a matter of time until this law-of-the-jungle evil under color of law visits itself upon you. If those who do profess to be followers of the Christ do not oppose this patent, obvious, and genuine evil, then all you have to do to see what eternal law will be visited upon you is to simply pick up your favorite Bible and read what Christ said about who said "Lord, Lord" but who did not do the will of the Father. No matter how it is sliced, a society that doesn't stand up against such evils as these--for rational or for moral reasons--is a society upon which such evils will eventually used.

Bipartisanship, torture and immunity
William Fisher's article is an excellent background summary of the Military Commissions Act, and the DC Circuit Court of Appeals recent 2-1 ruling upholding the constitutionality of one of the Act's several controversial provisions.
Over a well reasoned dissent, the majority ruled that Congress had validly exercised its power to define (actually, to eliminate) the jurisdiction of the federal courts, by prohibiting judges to review the legality of the confinement, and the conditions of confinement, of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Habeas corpus, habeas corpse. One can only hope and pray that the one vote margin on the United States Supreme Court holds so this injustice can be reversed, and the the Dodd-Leahy-Specter legislation is enacted.
I must admit I'm completely baffled by the concluding part of this article. With respect to potential revision of the shameful MCA statute by the new Congress, Mr. Fisher writes: "Cynical observers say congressional Democrats would welcome a Bush veto, since that would leave the issue on the table for the 2008 election. But even if that's true, we can expect some impassioned oratory on this issue when Congress returns next week."
I for one have been waiting for oratory of any sort from the leadership of the Democratic Party condemning torture as an instrument of US foreign policy for the last five years. The silence is deafening.
Can anybody out there in cyberspace tell me how it was possible, when John Kerry and Little George held their first debate (an hour and a half dedicated solely to international and national security issues) in the 2004 Presidential campaign, that the words "torture", "abu Ghraib", and "Geneva Conventions" were never uttered, not even once, by either candidate or the moderator, Jim Lehrer of PBS?
How could it be that the media savvy DNC beltway brain trust persuaded the Kerry campaign to give George Bush a pass on torture? Bush in writing personally made the decision to junk the Geneva protections at Gitmo in February, 2002, based upon Alberto Gonzales' advice. How could the GOP - the political party that proudly promised to restore morality to the Oval Office in 2000 - wind up generating the homoerotic sadism of Abu Ghraib?
Indeed, what would Jesus say about water boarding, swathing thine enemies' faces in womens' undies, siccing dogs upon those in handcuffs, or the man-in-the-hood-on-the-box-with-the-electrodes-up-his ass?
When handed this "moral values issue" to them on a silver platter in 2004, the Democratic Party pretended not to notice. Poor Dick Durbin. He made a single speech on the Senate floor noting how some of the torture techniques in use in the US military prisons resembled those of the Gestapo and the KGB. The right wing media tore him to bits for making the comparison, and scarcely a colleague came to his aid.
I hope Mr. Fisher is right, but when torture was "on the table" as an election issue in 2004 and again in 2006, why did nobody talk about it then?
I can easily understand why the GOP wouldn't want to talk about such shocking brutality and sexual degeneracy taking place on George Bush's watch, to the outrage of much of the world. Why the Democrats have NOT spoken out thusfar with "impassioned oratory", or with even the blandest public criticism, about the torture and sexual humiliation of hundreds of Muslim men swept up into US military interrogation centers remains a mystery to me. Stark bipartisan issues of good and evil like this just don't come up very often.
On a more serious note (if that's possible), be sure keep an eye on the details within the details of the Dodd-Leahy-Specter bill and the behind scenes amendments.
One of the most vile provisions of the Military Commissions Act passed in 2006 was the creation of immunity from civil liability and apparent immunity from criminal prosecution for the torturers and the top policy decisionmakers who created the torture gulag. Mr. Rumsfeld, Gen. Miller, and others have some real, long term Pinochet problems in terms of international travel of course, but the Act as presently written gives a retroactive and prospective immunity bath to all of the individual wrongdoers under US law.
The MCA's grant of immunity is probably more important to more people in the real world that the scope of federal habeas corpus jurisdiction, the evidentiary use of hearsay statements obtained by torture, the due process right of detainees to talk in private to a defense lawyer, or any of the other reprehensible parts of this disgusting statute.
For some folks, it means they literally get away with murder.

Baylor routs No. 2 Kansas State
|Kansas State watch the fourth quarter of the NCAA college football game against Baylor State, Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012, in Waco Texas. Baylor won 52-24. (AP Photo/LM Otero)
WACO, Texas (AP) — Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, Lache Seastrunk had 185 yards rushing with an 80-yard score and Baylor again upset the BCS picture with a late-season victory, beating second-ranked Kansas State 52-24 Saturday night.
A week after the Wildcats (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) took over the No. 1 spot in the BCS standings following Alabama's loss, another team will get its chance on top. And undefeated Notre Dame could get its championship shot.
K-State quarterback Collin Klein may be a Heisman Trophy front-runner no more after throwing three interceptions while being pressured and harassed all night by Baylor (5-5, 2-5). He threw for 286 yards, but had only 39 yards on 17 carries.
Nick Florence, the successor to Heisman winner Robert Griffin III threw both of his touchdowns in the first half when the Bears jumped out to a 28-7 lead.
On the same November weekend last season, Baylor upset then fifth-ranked Oklahoma after two teams ahead of the Sooners had already lost that day.

Over a fifth (22%) of UK small businesses have declined to do future business with customers who have paid late in the past. These are the findings of a new YouGov poll conducted on behalf of Barclays.
The news comes at a time when UK small businesses are owed more than £36 billion in late payments, according to research by Bacs. The survey finds that 85% of UK small and medium-sized businesses have been adversely affected by late payment in the past two years. Nearly half of these businesses (47%) claim their worst repeat offenders pay late three times a year or more.
Sue Hayes, managing director of Barclays business banking, said: "With one in five businesses that cease trading citing bad debt as the reason, it is vital that SMEs tackle this problem and take action before it is too late."
The survey also highlights the impact of late payments on business owners – with 30% of respondents saying they have used personal money or assets to boost their cash flow. In addition, 20% have suffered extreme stress and in 11% of cases, the late payments have nearly caused a business to fail.
Two thirds (66%) of respondents say that on average they have had to wait more than a month past the agreed payment terms for a bill to be paid, whilst 11% say they have to wait more than six months.
Sue Hayes added: "Faced with a continually challenging business environment, small businesses clearly have no other option than to take action against customers who repeatedly pay late. Whilst it goes against all natural business instincts to turn customers away, it is entirely understandable."
Those businesses that are not in a position to refuse future custom from late payers have taken action in other ways. The survey found that 60% have chased the customer's finance team, 32% have threatened to or have taken out legal action, and 30% have requested payment up-front.

During this Thanksgiving week of sketch comedy (and yes, we do have a show Thanksgiving night) the Improv at Harveys audience is going to be treated to a couple of holiday-inspired surprises.
First off having Stagebenders Kim Thomassen and Gust Alexander is the perfect vehicle to drive home the holiday fun because it's all about the improvisation with the audience supplying the comedy material. What's that you say? The audience is telling the headliners what to do? Yep. Just like the popular ABC television series "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" the audience suggests (OK, yells out) scenarios to the Stagebenders and they create the scene and have to be funny on the spot. It can get really interesting, especially if some of the audience members have had a little bit too much in the libations department.
'Benders Kim and Gust have an extensive theater background and both were naturally funny on stage. Neither of them ever thought they'd wind up as a duo but on a lark were paired as part of a sketch comedy workshop, and they haven't parted ways since. Between the two of them, their television appearances include "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," ABC's "America's Funniest People," MTV's "The Jenny McCarthy Show," filmmaker Roger Nygard's "Trekkies 2" and the Coen Brothers' "The Naked Man." They have been featured in national publications such as Esquire magazine and, believe it or not, Mechanical Engineering.
When I asked Kim how they came up with their name he said, "We were doing a show in our home state of Minnesota at this old theater and the stage literally started bending!" OK, to give them the benefit of the doubt, it was an old stage with old wooden planks, but let's not kid each other: these two are big boys. And, truth be known when I introduce them on stage I'll often say (after listing some of their impressive credits), "They're truly the last of the fun comedy duos and I like to refer to them as 700 pounds of Las Vegas showgirls rolled up into two bald, chubby guys."
Gary Cannon is one of the few comedians who I never reply to right away when he sends me text messages. Why? Because after a few minutes he usually finds out the answer to what he was asking, thereby saving my charges and letting Cannon discover the art of figuring out his own question.
He's been able to turn having A.D.D. into an artform. I know, because I have it, too.
Where most comics have to work the road to make a living, Gary has been able to get these interesting gigs where he can stay close to home and then go to places that he likes to perform at, like Tahoe.
Gary works a lot of shows for famous people behind the camera, getting their audiences
psyched up so when they come out on national TV their audience has already been properly warmed up. Gary started out being the warm-up guy for "The Late Late Show" with then-host Craig Kilborn and keeping the gig being the warm-up guy for current host Craig Ferguson.
He's also the warm-up guy on "Last Call with Carson Daly" when the show moved from New York to Los Angeles, up for the hit shows "Dancing with the Stars" and for Chelsea Handler on her show, "Chelsea Lately" on the E! network.
He even got to tour the country with the NBC television show "America's Got Talent" again, as a their warm-up guy. On stage, though, in front of an audience he has worked with Bob Saget, Dana Carvey, David Alan Grier, John Pinette, Jim Gaffigan, Brett Butler, Damon Wayans and Brian Regan, to name but a few.
It's always been a tradition having both myself and the feature act (Gary Cannon) to be a part of Stagebenders' show, to try and see if we can do the improvisiational thing, because you have to throw out your set and go with whatever the audience wants you to do. And one of these nights, (probably Friday) we're also expecting Lake Tahoe Community College's Theater Director Susan Boulanger to make a guest appearance!
I challenged her when she was on my show a couple of weeks ago because long before she was directing people she herself was being directed by others as an actress so I put the challenge out to her after she said she loved sketch comedy and when offered she said, "Sure, why not?"
This is definitely one Thanksgiving week I'm really going to enjoy plus with Mrs. Improv Host celebrating with her kids in San Diego, I'll be celebrating with the comics over at the Forrest Buffet. No leftovers sure but no dishes to clean up after either!

'I need an air conditioner!'
An air conditioner, that's what 69-year-old Jonas Amerson says he needs, but can't seem to get.
'I don't have an air conditioner and I'm about to burn up!'
(Reporter) 'What is this area?'
(Amerson) 'This is the bedroom.'
The fans that are in Amerson's bedroom are the only sources of air he has to cool his entire house. Right now, all three fans are in his bedroom because that's where he spends a lot of time. However, with one of the fans not generating a lot of cool air, Amerson says what he needs most is help to truly beat the heat!
'They're just not cutting it, when it's 100 degrees outside, it's not cutting it,' says Amerson. 'I only get a little over $700 a month and guys who don't work get the same amount as I did when I worked.'
Early last year Amerson says the air conditioner at his house stopped working. Last spring he first requested an air conditioner from Multi-County Community Service Agency. That's when he was told that he needed to secure some documentation.
'They said, 'Go get a birth certificate. Go get a social security card. I did that.'
By January of this year Amerson says he turned in all the information needed to MCCSA officials and reentered an air conditioner request, but like many, he's still waiting.
"We have issued already since April, 103 air conditioners and this is just in Lauderdale County. In addition to taking applications, the workers have to do home visits,' says MCCSA Deputy Director, Shirley Deville.
DeVille says the three MCCSA employees who handle Lauderdale County's air conditioner requests are working hard to meet the growing demand. As for Mr. Amerson's request, she says she plans to check on it.
'I don't what I have to do to get an air conditioner,' says Amerson.
Last year MCCSA issued a total of 92 air conditioners to needy residents within the 9 counties that it serves. So far this year, more than 100 have been issued in Lauderdale County alone. There are currently 84 names on the waiting list.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on Friday forged a unified response to the rapid advance of Islamic militants in Iraq and the resulting refugee crisis, allowing direct arms deliveries to Kurdish fighters battling the Sunni insurgents, while several EU nations pledged more humanitarian aid.
The emergency meeting of the bloc's 28 foreign ministers in Brussels marked a shift toward greater involvement in Iraq, following weeks during which Europeans mainly considered the situation an American problem because of the 2003 U.S.-led Iraq invasion.
EU ministers pledged to step up their efforts to help those displaced by the advances of militants from the Islamic State group, with several nations announcing they will fly dozens of tons of aid to northern Iraq over the coming days.
"First of all we need to make sure that we alleviate humanitarian suffering," Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans told reporters. "Secondly, I believe we need to make sure that IS is not in a position to overrun the Kurds or to take a stronger hold on Iraq."
France has pledged to ship weapons to the Kurds, Britain is delivering ammunition and military supplies obtained from eastern European nations and is considering sending more weaponry. Germany, the Netherlands and others said they would also consider requests to arm the Kurds.
Europe's initiative came as Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki agreed to step down after weeks of insisting on a third four-year term, a move that could pave the way for a more inclusive government and strengthen Baghdad's position in battling the Sunni insurgency.
A veteran Shiite lawmaker, Haider al-Abadi, now faces the challenge of forming a stable government and engaging Sunni politicians who say their disenfranchisement under al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated government fueled support for the insurgency among the Sunni minority.
The EU foreign ministers called on al-Abadi to urgently form a government that will be "inclusive and able to address the needs and legitimate aspirations of all the Iraqi citizens." U.S. and EU officials have said they can beef up their support for Iraq once a stable government is in place.
Italian Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini, meanwhile, insisted the militants' advances in Syria and Iraq represent a "threat that can reach the heart of Europe," making it not only a moral responsibility but also a matter of "national interest" to help keep IS at bay.
The IS militants' advances also bring danger closer to European shores: Officials say about 1,700 radical Muslims from France, Britain and Germany alone are believed to have joined the fighting. A radical French Islamist who had fought in Syria is suspected of killing four people at Brussels' Jewish Museum in May.
The IS group swiftly advanced across northern and western Iraq in June, routing the Iraqi military and taking the country's second-largest city, Mosul. Thousands of people have been killed and more than 1.5 million have been displaced.
The plight this month of thousands of Yazidis, a religious minority, who fled from advancing IS militants and were trapped on a forbidding mountain range, was key to pushing Europe toward taking action. In New York, U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said close to 80,000 people are now estimated to have reached Kurdistan arriving from the Sinjar mountains.
France, Britain, Italy and Germany have stepped up humanitarian aid and are delivering dozens of tons of vital supplies to help the refugees in Iraq, including food items, drinking water and medical supplies.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he was flying to Iraq over the weekend to meet with Kurdish leaders and the government in Baghdad to discuss what support is most needed.
Kurdistan, which took in tens of thousands of refugees over the past weeks, will not only need short-term humanitarian aid but also long-term support to accommodate the displaced, Steinmeier said. "This will very quickly challenge and probably overwhelm the infrastructure in Irbil and the region," he added.
In a joint statement, the EU foreign ministers also endorsed the decision by some member states "to respond positively to the call by the Kurdish regional authorities to provide urgently military material" as long as it is done in concert with Iraq's central government.
Some had cautioned before the meeting that arming the Kurds could eventually strengthen their bid for independence from Iraq and see the weapons turned against Baghdad's soldiers.
Steinmeier said it was still unclear what arms the Kurds would request or get, but acknowledged there was "no decision without risk in that regard."
The Islamic State is acting "with a military force and brutality that has surprised almost everybody, worldwide," Steinmeier said.

02 November 2005
Delany at Dartmouth: The Dirt
The student newspaper has published a fairly accurate report of the event. Being a newspaper that does not seek to scandalize its audience, The Dartmouth was not able to include some much of what Delany said. Since I had a notebook with me, and am perfectly happy to scandalize just about any audience, I will now add a couple of quotes to the otherwise adequate report. You have been warned.
One of the main points Delany reiterated is that, in his view, most studies of AIDS are based more on hearsay than evidence. This was his central thesis, and he tried to illustrate ways that hearsay is both attractive and misleading. He acknowledged that we let hearsay rule our lives most of the time (Most of our critical judgments, he said, are based on hearsay, most consumerism, and "the entire field of politics"), but it is a mistake to confuse hearsay with empirical knowledge. Evidence is science, and it is the sort of thing that allows planes to fly and lightbulbs to work. When we fall out of the grid of knowledge, hearsay takes over.
So far so good. But this is where he got personal, and stated that between 1982 and 1988 he had about 300-500 oral encounters a year, and that the numbers have fluctuated since then, depending on where he lived, but he estimated he's had roughly 5,000-7,000 moments of oral sex since 1982. He remains HIV negative. Then he told the story of meeting a porn star/prostitute who was sure that he'd gotten AIDS from oral sex. He said they'd talked for a while, that the other man was well informed, but that he (Delany) should have asked him a question he thought of shortly afterward. He should have asked, he said, whether before the man seroconverted if he had been in an orgy situation where someone who had come in his mouth had then licked his ass (Delany's terminology). "This is not the sort of question," he said, "that straight researchers think to ask."
He then said something like, "I have myself recently begun barebacking again with a fuckbuddy in upstate New York. While this may seem insane, it does need to be factored in."
Behind me, a fairly well-known American/Cultural Studies scholar burst into some of the wildest laughter I have ever heard from him (and having taking a course with him, I've heard plenty).
"I enjoy a certain kind of pleasure," Delany said, "and I gamble on getting it." We do not know enough about AIDS, he maintained, because the right sorts of tests are so seldom conducted, and the amount of true evidence, rather than hearsay, is so small, and drawn from such small samples of people. This is particularly the case in terms of women, where the lack of information and testing is, he said, "genocidal".
Then came questions. At first, nobody spoke, but soon enough there were some strong challenges. Delany vehemently denied that he was suggesting oral sex can't lead to AIDS -- he said his point is that there is hearsay evidence of multiple sorts, but there haven't been enough studies to say definitively one way or another, which is why he said his own behaviors are a gamble. Someone else said that he sounded like the tobacco company CEOs who deny that there is enough evidence that cigarettes cause cancer. Delany seemed to say that he believed there was good evidence there -- my notes are incomplete -- and then said, "We do know that oral sex doesn't cause cancer. That's one of the things it's got going for it."
The woman who introduced Delany, Susan Ackerman (of the Department of Religion), had said that he wrote 9 novels by the age of 25. Delany laid out an average day in his life at that time, saying that in between making breakfast and dinner for his wife (Marilyn Hacker) and writing his books, he would have sex with about 20 people on a normal day, and that he could never have been as productive a writer if he hadn't had that outlet. (At this point, someone near me whispered, "He's a superman!") "Sex is an appetite," he said. "If you don't have gourmet food, you eat out of the garbage can."
A student said she found his candor and frank terminology refreshing, and wondered if he thought more people should talk that openly about sex. He said he didn't want to tell anybody else how to talk about sex, but that we should talk about it however we are comfortable talking about it, using whatever words we are comfortable with.
Finally, a student suggested that his remarks could be used against gay people as proof that gay men are promiscuous, that they are just asking for AIDS, that they deserve to be marginalized and oppressed. Delany said he did not want to be taken as a representative example. "I'm not going to play the role of the Good Gay Man," he said. "I'm not the Good Gay Man. Maybe I'm the Bad Gay Man. Other people will be other things and say other things. Other people can speak for other ways of living. A whole range of things need to be said, and we need to work together." [some of that was paraphrased, because I can't write quite as fast as he talked]

Evidence-based medicine is a growing movement, and we definitely need it (in all areas, not just AIDS research), but the remark about "the sort of question that straight researchers think to ask" is really a separate issue. Straight people have relied on hearsay about straight sex, too, and gay people aren't automatically evidence-based.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, Matt.ReplyDelete
You're entirely right, Ted, about the "straight researchers" comment, which got a good laugh and defused some of the tension that had built up -- half of his intention for it, I'm sure -- but it's definitely unfair. A sex researcher of any type is more likely to think of what Delany did than your average gay, straight, or whatever person, I expect.ReplyDelete

Thanks so much for posting this, Matt. It sounds like a fascinating lecture.ReplyDelete

The text of "The Gamble" has just been published (in English and Spanish) in the Fall 2005 issue of "Corpus", a journal from APLA (AIDS Project Los Angeles) available in PDF.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this. I'm always fascinated by what Delaney has to say, particularly about sexuality.ReplyDelete
He taught at a workshop I went to a few years ago, most of which was filled with stay at home moms. Delaney read some selections from his memoir, and the reactions were very similar to what you saw. At the time I thought he did it for shock value, but in retrospect I think he's really just trying to present his way of seeing the world as honestly as he can.

Thanks for posting this, very interesting.ReplyDelete
Belated comment:ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this; sounds like a great talk.
The first time I encountered Delany's argument that the right kind of research on seroconversion isn't being done was in his foreword (or maybe introduction?) to his 1994
more-or-less-non-sf novel The Mad Man. I saw that as a sort of call to arms; interesting (and kind of sad) that over ten years later, the research on the topic is still too sparse.
neat. thanks for that.ReplyDelete
here's a question, though: was delany using his sexual lifestyle to illustrate the point of heresay ruling our lives? cause it would make an interesting game with the topic if it was so.
Ben -- I'm not sure whether Delany was suggesting that hearsay rules our lives (he could have been -- I'm just not willing to put those words into his mouth), but he was using his own experience to show that were people such as himself the ones being interviewed for the sorts of scientific studies he's skeptical of, then the results would be entirely different from what has become the received wisdom. He was not trying to say, I don't think, that his life and experiences disprove anything, but that they stand as strong cause for doubt and, more than that, for the need for more careful study. (Of course, this is my view of what he was saying; I'm sure he would want to add some qualifications and/or clarifications, so don't perceive this as "Delany said" so much as "Matt Cheney heard Delany to, he thought, say....")ReplyDelete

After Elmo Controversy, How Will Parents Respond?
by Carrie Melago
With Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash resigning from Sesame Street after facing sex allegations, are moms and dads looking at the furry red monster differently?
For parents, Elmo merchandise is unavoidable, particularly during the holiday season; the time of year that made the Tickle-me-Elmo doll a legend. Children become obsessed with the squeaky-voiced little guy, turning him into a source of constant comfort. A friend told me last year that Elmo videos on an iPad helped her children survive the loss of power after Hurricane Irene. Another friend had her husband fake an Elmo voice and call her daughter during a particularly terrible stretch of the terrible twos.
(It turns out she didn't need her husband to pretend. The "Elmo Calls" iPhone app is available for surviving everything from temper tantrums to long flights.)
My son is too young to watch television, but we have two small Elmo dolls, one of which we've always kept in our diaper bag. Last Monday, when the allegations against Kevin Clash surfaced, my husband and I decided to take Elmo out of the bag, even though we suspected it was a little ridiculous to do so. The character isn't under any suspicion, after all, and our son doesn't pay much attention to current events. But looking at the Elmo made me think about the controversy, something I don't really want to do when I'm playing with my son. A few days later we saw a child's Elmo hat covering a parking meter. I wondered if it had been discarded there on purpose.
Has the controversy surrounding Elmo made you feel differently about the character? Will it affect purchases that you make?

With a month to go to the May primary, and no Democrats running for the Jackson County Board of Commissioners, lawyer Tonia Moro of Talent has announced she will run as a write-in candidate for Position No. 1.
Moro said she will introduce herself and talk about why she's running at 12:15 p.m. today on the steps of the Jackson County Courthouse. She declined to be interviewed Monday, saying, "I'm not ready" to talk about issues.
Moro, 50, a Jackson County resident for 24 years, was born in Missouri and raised in Florida, according to a press release. She has a law practice in Medford. She has volunteered for nonprofits, including Rogue Climate and OnTrack Inc.
Moro expected Democrats to file for the two open seats on the commission but none did, so she decided to run as a write-in, according to Allen Hallmark, a representative for her campaign.
All three current commissioners are Republicans. John Rachor and Don Skundrick, whose seats are up for election, are not running again.
Running for Position No. 1, Skundrick's seat, on the May 20 ballot are Rich Dyer of Medford and Henry Marlow Jr. of Central Point. Running for Position No. 3 are Joel Ockunzzi of White City and Colleen L. Roberts of Prospect.

PALO ALTO -- Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) threat Tuesday to steal customers from Dell, after the Texas company's move to go private, prompted reactions ranging from "sophomoric" to "ironic," given the Palo Alto giant's own troubles lately.
But several tech observers and analysts also noted that it's common for competitors to try to lure away each others' clients. Moreover, they said HP may have been seeking a little revenge when its news release declared, "We believe Dell's customers will now be eager to explore alternatives and HP plans to take full advantage of that opportunity."
"It's almost exactly what Dell and IBM said about HP at moments when HP was looking a little wobbly," said Roger Kay, an analyst with Endpoint Technologies Associates. "I would just say this is turnabout."
Kay added that such remarks often succeed in wooing customers away from a company perceived to be in an uncertain transition. "It seems kind of sophomoric, but everyone does it," he said. "And for HP, it's kind of an opportunity to return the favor."
Dell's future has been in question because its revenue largely depends upon sales of personal computers, which are slowing as consumers turn to smartphones and tablets. Hoping to revive the firm, founder Michael Dell announced a plan Tuesday to take it private through a $24.4 billion leveraged buyout financed by him, Microsoft and equity firm Silver Lake Partners.
HP suffers many of the same problems as Dell, plus some others -- including its recently admitted multibillion-dollar overpayment for software firm Autonomy. Nonetheless, it responded to Dell's announcement by firing off a news release with a clear message aimed at the Texas company's clients.
"Dell has a very tough road ahead," HP warned. "The company faces an extended period of uncertainty and transition that will not be good for its customers. And with a significant debt load, Dell's ability to invest in new products and services will be extremely limited. Leveraged buyouts tend to leave existing customers and innovation at the curb."
"Some will see HP's move as ironic, given they've had heaps of troubles over the last few years," said tech analyst Patrick Moorhead. International Strategy & Investment Group analyst Brian Marshall agreed. He termed HP's news release the "pot calling the kettle black," and "aggressive PR from guys who don't know how to execute."
Given HP's own problems, technology analyst Charles King of Hayward-based Pund-IT called the statement "pretty surreal," and said it wasn't clear it would lure away Dell customers.
Some experts said the news release might even hurt HP.
"With Microsoft backing this move, they might have been wiser not to comment," said tech analyst Rob Enderle, because Microsoft is a powerful adversary.
But Baird Equity Research analyst Jayson Noland saw HP's tactic as having little effect, noting, "at the end of the day, I don't think it changes the landscape that much."

TEXAS A&M - CORPUS CHRISTI (0-7) AT No. 13/18 Texas (4-0)
Friday, Nov. 30 • 11 a.m. CT
Frank Erwin Center (16,540) • Austin, Texas
TV: Longhorn Network: Frank Harris (pxp), Debbie Antonelli (analyst) and Kat Kelly (reporter)
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will wrap their challenging November schedule on Friday, Nov. 30, when they travel to Austin to take on No. 13/18-ranked Texas. The game is scheduled for an 11 a.m. tipoff and is part of a forty acres field trip event featuring 4,000 students from 45 schools. The Islanders are 0-3 on the road this season and are coming off a 49-45 Wednesday night loss to Texas - Pan American. The Islanders are looking for their first victory of the season after dropping their first seven contests, including four on the road. The Islanders have had a challenging November schedule with seven games in a span of 17 days.
Head Coach Royce Chadwick is in his first year as the Islanders' Head Coach. Chadwick, who spent the previous 11 years at the helm of the Marshall University program, has 561 wins on his collegiate coaching resume.
Texas holds a perfect 4-0 record and will be the first top-25 opponent the Islanders have faced this season. The Longhorns are 2-0 at home and are wrapping a three-game homestand. Friday's contest will mark the sixth meeting between the two schools with Texas holding a 5-0 advantage.
•The Islanders shot a season-low 24.6 percent from the field on Wednesday vs. UTPA.
•After triggering a season-high 10 three-pointers vs. Auburn on Saturday, the Islanders were held scoreless from behind the arc on Wednesday for the second time this season.
•Freshman Janae Blount tallied a season-low three points on Wednesday vs. UTPA after registering a career-high 21 points vs. Auburn. She has scored in double figures five out the seven games this season.
•Ashley Darley recorded her fifth double-figure scoring game this season vs. UTPA with 14 points. She tied a season-high seven rebounds.
•Darley is seventh in the Southland Conference with 2.1 steals per game. Blount sits in 10th and Taryn Gregory is in 14th.
•Marquesha Anderson-Sparks is tied for second in the SLC with a free-throw percentage of .857.
•Coach Chadwick has used the same starting five of Ashanti Plummer, Ashley Darley, Janae Blount, Jessica Jammer and Taryn Gregory six out of the seven games this season. Darley is the only one to make starts in all seven games this season.
•The last time the Islanders started the season 0-7 was during the 2010-11 season when the team went 0-11 before sealing two consecutive victories. The team finished 2-27 that year.
• Chadwick has a career record of 561-302 (.650) in stops at Marshall, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston State, Oklahoma Panhandle State and Howard Junior College.
The Longhorns and Islanders meet for the sixth time in program history. Texas has notched all five dating back to 2003, including three in Austin. The last time the two teams met up was in 2008 when Texas sealed an 87-36 victory in Austin. Prior to that, the Islanders fell at home to Texas, 88-41, in 2007.
The Longhorns are coming off back-to-back victories at home. On Saturday, Texas topped Central Connecticut, 94-58, and last Tuesday the team sealed an 80-53 victory over Jackson State. Prior to that, Texas picked up neutral-site victories vs. St. John's and Hofstra in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Texas is averaging 79.0 points per game behind Nneka Enemkpali's 24.0 points per game and Chassidy Fussell's 19.8 points per game. Cokie Reed is third on the team with 10.0 points per game. Enemkpali is leading the glass with 13.0 rebounds per game.
The Islanders were picked to finish eighth in the Southland Conference Coaches' Poll after finishing with a 5-11 conference record last season.
Freshman guard Janae Blount is leading the Islanders with 11.9 points per game in 26.9 minutes per game. She is 12th in the SLC in scoring and is eighth in 3-point goal percentage. She has scored in double figures in five of the seven games this season and has made starts in six of the seven. The Washington, D.C. native is 18-for-22 from the line. She scored a career-high 21 points vs. Auburn and a career-high four three-pointers.
Joining Blount is freshman post Ashanti Plummer who has added some inside presence after averaging 18.1 points per game during her senior season of high school. She also pulled down 13.6 rebounds. Freshman Zenobia Winbush and junior transfer Morgan Schwartz have added height to the Islanders roster. Schwartz transferred from Midland CC where she played two seasons under head coach Ron Jones. Rounding out the newcomers is Janae Lyde who is a sophomore transfer from Texas Southern and will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules. In the exhibition, Plummer led the newcomers with nine points on 3-of-12 shooting from the field. Plummer and Schwartz both pulled down five rebounds apiece.
Ashley Darley is back after sitting out last season with a medical redshirt. The redshirt junior has made starts in all seven of the Islanders' games. She is second on the team with 9.7 points per game in 20.9 minutes per game. She has also chipped in a team-high 15 steals, which is good for seventh in the SLC.
Darley recorded a season-high 17 points at UTPA and grabbed a season-high seven rebounds vs. Auburn. She also scored 12 points in both games against Colorado and Auburn in the Omni Hotels Classic. She netted a game-high 14 points vs. UTPA on Wednesday and chipped in four of the Islanders' season-high 18 steals.
Joining Darley is senior Jessica Jammer who is third on the team with 6.3 points per game. She leads the team with 5.3 rebounds per game. Helping Jammer on the boards is Darley with 3.7 rebounds per game and Brandi Huff with 3.3 rebounds per game. Marquesha Anderson-Sparks is second in the conference and leads the team at the charity stripe with a .857 percentage (18-of-21).
The Islanders also return last season's conference assist leader Verne'qua Taylor and guards Alisa Roberts, Imani Dunn, Taryn Gregory, Trish Amboree and Sarah Alva, along with forward Damequia Montgomery.
Royce Chadwick is the fourth coach in Islanders' history to make his debut on the sidelines. He holds 561 wins on his collegiate coaching resume and seven NCAA Tournament bids. Chadwick is familiar with the Southland Conference after coaching stints at Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State. He holds a .829 career winning percentage in Southland Conference games. Chadwick was named the Southland Coach of the Year in 1997. He has 28 years of experience coaching women's college basketball and four career wins in the NCAA Tournament.
Roxanne White joins Chadwick on the sidelines as the Islanders' Associate Head Coach. White served on Chadwick's staffs at Marshall and Stephen F. Austin. White was Marshall's recruiting coordinator for all 11 years she was at the school and was the associate head coach for 10 of those seasons. The Stephen F. Austin alumna was an assistant for Chadwick for five years at SFA and also spent a year with Texas A&M.
Darren Brunson also made his Islanders' coaching debut this season as the Islanders Assistant Coach. Brunson comes to the Island University after spending the past two years as the associate head coach and team's recruiting coordinator at Texas Southern.
Geoff Grawn is in his 11th season on the Islanders' staff as an assistant coach.
The Islanders have had a tough November schedule against some of the top competition around. The Islanders have faced opponents from the Big Ten, SEC, Pac 12, WAC, Ohio Valley and Great West.
The Islanders will be off the next 14 days before facing former Southland Conference opponent Texas State on Saturday, Dec. 15 at the Dugan Wellness Center. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.

Lawmaker Calls for Drug Lord's Extradition to U.S.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R., Texas) on Sunday called for newly captured Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to be extradited to the U.S. to stand trial, noting that the world's once most powerful drug lord had escaped from a maximum-security prison in Mexico in 2001.
"I would ask that the Mexicans consider extraditing him to the United States where he will be put in a supermax prison under tight security where he cannot escape and be brought to justice with a life imprisonment sentence," Mr. McCaul said on ABC's "This Week." He said "that would be the best course for not only Mexico, but also the United States in ensuring that what happened in 2001 does not happen again."
Mr. Guzman, who is frequently equated with the late 1980s Colombia drug lord Pablo Escobar, rose from poverty to build a cocaine and marijuana empire that made him a billionaire and caused much of the violence that has killed tens of thousands of Mexicans in the last decade. His empire also stretched into the U.S., and he has already been indicted in multiple cities, including San Diego.
Mr. McCaul said that the question of whether Mr. Guzman is sent to the U.S. to face charges would depend on the Obama administration and how hard it pushed the matter with Mexico.
He also said that the arrest was proof that Mexico's new administration was willing to crack down on drug cartels, countering expectations that the administration of President Enrique Peña Nieto would accommodate the drug lords and seek a deal to reduce violence in exchange for allowing drug trafficking to continue.
"What has happened here is very significant in terms of the cooperation with Mexico," Mr. McCaul said. "President Peña Nieto has demonstrated that he is tough on these cartels. He brought out the Los Zetas leader who is arguably the most lethal cartel and now the biggest fish ever, and that is El Chapo Guzman."

"I was nervous," he said. "I had no idea who anyone was or what to expect from teachers. But as the years went on, I started to see why this school was built and how it serves its mission."
Lirette, senior class president, was among 21 Class of 2013 graduates at the school's Friday night commencement ceremony at the First Baptist Church in Houma.
Lirette told his class the night marks not an ending but a new beginning.
"Today is a milestone in our lives," he said.
Lirette said he and his fellow classmates will have memories of their time at Covenant that will last a lifetime.
Covenant Principal Blyght Wunstell said the Class of 2013 had seen some good times and some rough times, but the end result was ultimately success.
"We feel that these students are ready for life and the challenges ahead," he said. "We are very proud of their achievements and their accomplishments, and we know they will go into society and make a positive impact."
Valedictorian Richard Lau said graduation is a time of for reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future.
"This year we had a very unique and exceptional group of students who are graduating," he said. "We've been through so much together, and we have changed and grown together."
Lau said he remembers advice he learned from a former Covenant teacher who told him to not to be the person that others expect him to be but to be the person he wants to be.

I stumbled upon this hand cream a couple years ago and sadly don't have a World Market nearby. Trying a couple stores on travel it's rarely in stock so I ordered online. Thrilled to have it available, it's works beautifully especially that it's moisturizing without leaving my hands greasy. Love it! I must try the other scents but this grapefruit/tangerine is just fresh and light and definitely not overpowering. I should tell everyone not to buy so it's always in stock for me. Below in the comments it asks how often I use the product and the most frequent is once a week, I use it several times a day!
This is the only hand lotion for me. And the aroma is heavenly! I have one in each of my bags and at each sink. Wish it came in a pump!

4 Tips to Break Mindless Eating Habits
By The FIRM Master Instructor Mindy Fenske
A while back, I took a teaching sabbatical and worked out of my house for a few months. Now, don't get me wrong, I loved having the flexibility of working from home, but I had a small problem.
I would be working diligently at my computer, tap-tap-tapping the keyboard, when, all of a sudden, my fingers would stop. Then my legs would stand me up and walk me into the kitchen and, before I even realized what was happening, my hand would be force-feeding chips into my open mouth. It was as if my body was possessed by aliens!

College baseball roundup: Furman stuns USC, 6-5
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 1:09 a.m.
In Greenville, Griffin Davis' pinch-hit RBI double in the eighth inning scored Alex Abrams from first base to break a 5-all tie that lifted Furman to shocking 6-5 upset over No. 11 South Carolina on Wednesday evening at Fluor Field.
The win gave Furman (17-11) a season split with South Carolina (23-7) and marked the Paladins' second victory over the Gamecocks in the last three clashes at Fluor Field.
Taylor Johnson (Greer) drove in three runs on three hits, including a two-run single in the third and a solo home run in the seventh that tied the game at 5.
Chris Ohmstede also homered for the Paladins, part of a 3-for-4 performance that raised his batting average to .415 (27 of 65) over the past 16 games.
Ben Carlson (3-1), who came on in relief in the seventh, earned the victory after pitching 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball.
USC starter Forrest Koumas was tagged for three runs on four hits in 3 1/3 innings. Jack Wynkoop (4-1) took the loss after giving up Davis' RBI double.
Brison Celek led the Gamecocks' offense with two hits and two RBIs.
Clemson 4, Gardner-Webb 1: In Clemson, Jonathan Meyer pitched seven stellar innings to propel the Tigers past Gardner-Webb (15-13-1).
Meyers allowed one run on five hits to improve to 2-0 on the season for the Tigers (18-11). Matt Campbell tossed a scoreless ninth inning to earn his fifth save.
Garrett Boulware cranked out his fifth home run of the season and Thomas Brittle added three hits for Clemson.
USC Upstate 6, UNC Charlotte 0: Chris Cox tossed a complete-game gem to propel the Spartans (17-11) past UNC Charlotte (17-11).
Cox (2-2) allowed just four hits and one walk in the shutout.
Trey Richardson blasted a solo homer and Tyler Miller and Gaiter Bumgardner each drove in two runs for the Spartans.
Auburn 7, Wofford 4: In Auburn, Ala., Damek Tomscha drove in two runs and added three hits to help Auburn (17-12) down Wofford (13-18).
The Terriers were led by Seth Neely with recorded two hits and two RBIs. Matthew Kaskow also added two hits for Wofford.
North Greenville 12, Mars Hill 5: In Mars Hill, N.C., the Crusaders pounded out a season-high 20 hits to cruise past Mars Hill.
Allen Staton and Tyler Mitchell homered and both finished with three hits for North Greenville (13-22). Frank Polino added a team-high four hits.
Limestone 7, USC Aiken 3: In Gaffney, Michael Hughey (Gaffney) drove in two runs to help the Saints pull the upset against No. 10 USC Aiken.
Limestone improved to 19-16 with the victory. USC Aiken dropped to 27-8.

This show was part of the "1994 Fall Tour."
This was a very strong show for 1994. A top 20 show from that year and very close to a top 10 show.
Fixin' To Die absolutely smokes (it's like Trey poured all the energy he would've put into finishing Antelope into this song), which makes it all the more surprising when the band segues with ease into Ya Mar, one of those glorious transitions that doesn't make sense on paper but works effortlessly in practice. Ya Mar bops along energetically, then goes nearly silent, Trey playing *very* quietly (like a rendition of Shout - dig Trey playing the strings at the very top of the neck!), before the volume gets turned back up and Fish gets to really shine in the closing jam. Then Trey starts up Mike's Song, which is not quite a smooth transition (it doesn't jive with the Ya Mar jam, which has to be slowed down), and the resulting version is nothing special (the only low spot of the set), but the sudden segue into Catapult is quite amusing, and the segue from *that* into McGrupp is fun (as is the resulting McGrupp). Everything else is the usual.
I've listened to this show and liked it fine before, but with time I've really grown to love the hell out of it. The first set is good fun, and the stretch from Antelope to Ya Mar is just pure gold (the Fixin' To Die might be the best part, IMO). A glorious show.
sidenote: not so important, but i hear a My Friend tease around the last minute of Reba (from the LivePhish mp3 you can pretty much hear it at the 12:10-12:25 mark. right before Trey brings everyone back into the Reba jam, you can hear them playing elements of the My Friend "fuse"-buildup segment (listen to Page especially).
anyway, this show is a MUST-HAVE from '94
