As all eyes are focused on Iowa, on the first caucus of this year's Presidential election race, I thought I'd cross-post an interesting article about Guantánamo that was recently published in Rolling Stone, written by Janet Reitman. This is a long and detailed article, taking as its springboard a visit to one of the pre-trial hearings in Guantánamo's military commissions, the alternative trial system set up for the "war on terror," at the particular instigation of Dick Cheney and his legal adviser David Addington, which seems able only to demonstrate, in its glacially slow proceedings, that it is unable to deliver justice.
I confess that, in recent years, I have rather taken my eye off the military commissions, although I commend those who still visit Guantánamo to write about them, chief amongst whom is Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald. I put together a detailed list of who has been charged — plus the eight convictions and the four verdicts that have subsequently been overturned — two years ago, and in that article I stated:
I've been covering the commissions since 2006, and I have never found that they have established any kind of legitimacy, compared to federal courts, where crimes should be tried. This conclusion has only been strengthened in recent years, as conservative appeals court judges in Washington D.C. have overturned two of the eight convictions on the basis that they were for war crimes that were invented by Congress rather than being internationally recognized.
On February 18, David Hicks' conviction for providing material support to terrorism was overturned by the US Court of Military Commission Review. Hicks, an Australian, had been charged in the military commissions at Guantánamo, unwisely brought back from the history books by the Bush administration, under the guidance of Dick Cheney, and his conviction came about through a plea deal in March 2007. Almost immediately repatriated, he was a free man by the end of 2007, but was haunted by his conviction and those who used it against him to portray him as some sort of terrorist, when he was no such thing.
As I explained in an article for Al-Jazeera following the ruling, this was the fourth conviction to be overturned, out of only eight cases that have resulted in convictions, and, as a result, it ought to sound the death knell for the commissions, which should never have been revived — either by the Bush administration, or, in 2009, by President Obama.
I continue to call for the commissions to be scrapped, but in the meantime, I wanted to publicize a rare interview on David Hicks' part — with the World Socialist Web Site, conducted by Richard Phillips and published on March 5, in which, as the WSWS explained, he spoke "about the court ruling, the response of the Australian government and media, and his concerns about escalating attacks on basic democratic rights and preparations for war."

I'm pleased to report that, in the last week, I have taken part in two radio shows in the US with two radio hosts that I have known for a long time and who I admire — Michael Slate and Scott Horton.
Michael's show was entitled, "From the Torture Chambers of Guantánamo to the Deadly Streets of the US: American Thugs on the Rampage," which is a great title, and I was delighted to be on the same show as Larry Siems, the editor of Guantánamo Diary, the extraordinarily powerful book by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who is still held at Guantánamo (Larry and I were previously on another show, in Chicago, which you can find here). Also on the show was the activist Carl Dix.
The hour-long show is here, and I'm on for the first 16 minutes, bringing Michael's listeners up to date on the current situation at Guantánamo, and also speaking about We Stand With Shaker, the campaign to secure the release from Guantánamo of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in the prison, which I launched in November with the activist Joanne MacInnes.

I hope you have time to read my new article for Al-Jazeera English, "The collapse of Guantánamo's military commissions," which, at the time of writing, has over 350 Facebook likes and shares, and has been tweeted over 125 times.
It's my response to the news, on Wednesday February 18, that the US Court of Military Commission Review dismissed the conviction against David Hicks, an Australian, and the first prisoner to be convicted in the much-criticized military commission trial system, in March 2007.
This was an expected result, following previous dismissals of convictions, beginning in October 2012, but it does not make it any less significant. Hicks first announced an appeal in October 2013, and then lodged a second appeal last August, both with the Court of Military Commission Review that was established in August 2007 because, until then, no review process existed for the commissions, and two of the judges involved had raised issues that only the court could resolve.

I wrote the following article for the "Close Guantánamo" website, which I established in January 2012 with US attorney Tom Wilner. Please join us — just an email address is required to be counted amongst those opposed to the ongoing existence of Guantánamo, and to receive updates of our activities by email.
Last week, lawyers for former Guantánamo prisoner David Hicks, an Australian who, in March 2007, was the first Guantánamo prisoner to accept a guilty plea in a military commission trial in order to get out of the prison, appealed his conviction — for the second time in the last ten months.
Hicks had accepted a plea of providing material support for terrorism in exchange for being returned to Australia and being freed after just nine months. However, in October 2012 the court of appeals in Washington D.C. (the D.C. Circuit Court) threw out the conviction of another prisoner who had been convicted of providing material support for terrorism in a military commission trial, paving the way for Hicks to challenge his conviction.
That man was Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni who had worked as a paid driver for Osama bin Laden, and who had been convicted in the summer of 2008. As the Circuit Court described it, "When Hamdan committed the conduct in question, the international law of war proscribed a variety of war crimes, including forms of terrorism. At that time, however, the international law of war did not proscribe material support for terrorism as a war crime." Read the rest of this entry »
Ever since the conservative court of appeals in Washington D.C. delivered an extraordinary ruling last October, vacating one of the only convictions in the military commission trial system introduced for prisoners at Guantánamo, it has only been a matter of time before other appeals would be lodged.
Last Tuesday, November 5, the first man convicted in the trials — the Australian citizen David Hicks, who agreed to a plea deal in March 2007, on the basis that he would be returned to Australia to serve a seven-month sentence — lodged an appeal with the US Court of Military Commission Review, "arguing for a summary dismissal of the conviction," as the Sydney Morning Herald described it, "because the offence was not a war crime at the time Mr. Hicks was detained, and his guilty plea was made under duress because of his detention, torture and abuse at Guantánamo."
Just seven convictions have been secured in Guantánamo's military commission system (between March 2007 and February 2012), which has struggled — and failed — to achieve any kind of credibility since George W. Bush's Vice President, Dick Cheney, ill-advisedly dragged the commissions from the history books in November 2001. Ruled illegal by the Supreme Court in June 2006, they were then revived by Congress, and revived by Congress a second time under President Obama in 2009, despite warnings by senior administration lawyers that convictions would almost certainly be overturned on appeal.

So it's official, then. Eleven and a half years after the "war on terror" prison opened at Guantánamo, the maximum number of prisoners that the US military intends to prosecute, or has already prosecuted, is 20 — or just 2.5 percent of the 779 men held at the prison since it opened in January 2002.
The news was announced on Monday June 10 by Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor for the military commissions at Guantánamo, and it is a humiliating climbdown for the authorities.
When President Obama appointed an inter-agency task force to review the cases of the remaining Guantánamo prisoners, which issued its report in January 2010, the task force recommended that 36 of the remaining prisoners should be tried.
Just five of the 36 have since been to trial — one in the US, and four through plea deals in their military commissions at Guantánamo. Another man — Ali Hamza al-Bahlul — had already been tried and convicted, in the dying days of George W. Bush's second term, and two others had been sent home after their trials — David Hicks after a plea deal in March 2007, and Salim Hamdan after a trial in July 2008 — making a total of 39 prosecutions, or intended prosecutions, after eleven and a half years of the prison's existence. That was just 5 percent of the men held throughout Guantánamo's history, but now that figure, which was, in itself, an extremely poor reflection on the efficacy of the prison and its relationship to any acceptable notions of justice, has been halved.
As Reuters described it, Brig. Gen. Martins explained that the number set by the task force was "ambitious" in light of two rulings last October and in January this year by judges in the court of appeals in Washington D.C. Read the rest of this entry »
When is a war crime not a war crime? When it is invented by the executive branch and Congress, and implemented for six years until a profoundly Conservative appeals court strikes it down.
The invented war crime is "providing material support to terrorism," and on October 16, 2012, a panel of three judges in the D.C. Circuit Court (the Court of Appeals in Washington D.C.) threw out the conviction of Salim Hamdan, a driver for Osama bin Laden, who had received a five and a half year sentence for "providing material support to terrorism" at the end of his trial by military commission in August 2008 (although he was freed just five months later, as his sentence included time already served).
In its ruling, the court stated, "When Hamdan committed the conduct in question, the international law of war proscribed a variety of war crimes, including forms of terrorism. At that time, however, the international law of war did not proscribe material support for terrorism as a war crime."
For anyone who has followed the history of the military commissions in any depth, the result was not completely unexpected. Revived by the Bush administration in November 2001, specifically for trying prisoners seized in the "war on terror," the commissions were struck down by the Supreme Court in June 2006, but were then revived by Congress, when "providing material support to terrorism" and "conspiracy" were included as war crimes, even though there was no precedent for doing so.

On Saturday, the eyes of the world were on Guantánamo, as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other men accused of planning and facilitating the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 — Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi and Walid bin Attash — appeared in a courtroom for the first time since December 2008. All were dressed in white, apparently at the insistence of the authorities at Guantánamo, and most observers made a point of noting that Mohammed's long gray beard was streaked red with henna.
For the Obama administration and the Pentagon, the five men's appearance — for their arraignment prior to their planned trial by military commission — was supposed to show that the commissions are a competent and legitimate alternative to the federal court trial that the Obama administration announced for the men in November 2009, but then abandoned after caving in to pressure from Republicans. The five defendants face 2,976 counts of murder — one for each of the victims of the 9/11 attacks — as well as charges of terrorism, hijacking, conspiracy and destruction of property, and the prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
Unfortunately for the administration, the omens were not good. The military commissions have been condemned as an inadequate trial system ever since the Bush administration first resurrected them in November 2001, intending, in the heat of post-9/11 vengeance, to use them to swiftly try and execute those it regarded as terrorists. However, after long delays and chaotic hearings, this first reincarnation of the commissions was struck down as illegal by the Supreme Court in June 2006. The commissions were then revived by Congress a few months later, and were then tweaked and revived by President Obama in the summer of 2009, despite criticism from legal experts.

Last week, when I cross-posted an article written for the 10th anniversary of the opening of Guantánamo by my friend Todd Pierce, I also noted that when I visited the US in January to campaign for the closure of Guantánamo Bay, I was so busy that I did not have time to cross-post other articles of interest that were published at the time, and added, "In the hope of keeping alive some of that spirit of awareness about the ongoing injustice of Guantánamo that flickered briefly to life around the anniversary, I'm planning to cross-post some of these articles."
After starting with Todd's article, I'm now moving on to a detailed article that was published in Germany's Stern Magazine — available here as a PDF, and helpfully translated into English for Cageprisoners, via Google Translate, in a translation that I have tidied up.
The article features interviews with five former prisoners — Sami al-Laithi (aka el-Leithi), an Egyptian; Omar Deghayes, a British resident; Mohammed el-Gharani, a Chadian and former child prisoner; Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, an Afghan and a former Taliban ambassador; and Abu Bakker Qassim, a Uighur (a Muslim from China's Xinjiang province) released from Guantánamo to Albania. The stories of all of these men have been reported before, but fresh eyes and ears are also ways useful to continue to expose the horrific history of Guantánamo, and its ongoing injustices, and the Stern article also featured a collection of powerful photos, as well as quotes from other prisoners — David Hicks (from Australia), Murat Kurnaz (from Germany) and Moazzam Begg (from the UK).

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

With the Uruguayan biter now plying his trade in Spain, we enter the 2014/15 Premier League season with a host of fantastic players all primed to try and sweep the board for personal accolades. Or perhaps we'll be shocked by a winner from out of nowhere.
Our writing staff continue the big countdown to the opening weekend by having a stab at who will be the English domestic division's standout star this time around.
As always, add your own entries at the bottom via the comments section.
Alex Chick (Twitter: @alex_eurosport):
Eden Hazard - Alexis Sanchez will boss the first two months. Sergio Aguero will be unstoppable – except by injury. Cesc Fabregas will remind everyone of his quality. Daniel Sturridge and Robin van Persie will be deadly in front of goal. But the best player will be Chelsea's Belgian maestro.
Tom Adams (Twitter: @tomEurosport):
Aaron Ramsey - One little injury and this prediction could end up looking a bit silly, but there is a case to be argued that Ramsey will be the finest midfielder in the Premier League this season. And, with Suarez gone, it's a more open field in general. Ramsey has looked sharp as a tack in pre-season and is maturing into a supreme performer, capable of rifling one in from mid-range or unpicking a defence with a scooped pass over the top. Plus he's the kind of amiable personality the press get behind - and a regular man of the match - both of which help his profile when it comes to this kind of award.
Sean Fay (Twitter: @Sean_Fay):
Cesc Fabregas - It was a toss-up for me between Fabregas and the man who has finally come through to replace him at Arsenal, Aaron Ramsey, but I'm plumping for Fabregas as Chelsea look more likely to win trophies. Simply put, the man is class, and absolutely perfect for the Premier League. Its quicker tempo suits his direct style so much more than La Liga or the Spanish national team. There is a remarkable stat that shows that Fabregas has completed more through balls in the Premier League over the last five seasons than anyone else – yep even though he has been out of the league for three seasons.
He will score plenty, set more up, and make himself the main man at Stamford Bridge. With better quality around him than he ever had at Arsenal, that means bad news for the rest of the league.
Toby Keel:
Alexis Sanchez - A truly outstanding player, who has lived for too long in the shadows at Barcelona. Like Ozil before him he will hit the ground running as Arsenal get off to a great start to their campaign. Unlike Ozil, Sanchez will have the physical and mental strength to keep going and stay confident even when he suffers the occasional lean spell. It won't be enough for the Gunners to contend for the title, but they'll have the best chance of being this season's Liverpool: exciting, exhilarating, doomed to fall short.
Liam Happe (Twitter: @liamhappe):
Juan Mata – You know what? I reckon United's miserable campaign last year and Mata's false start at Old Trafford will be but a smokescreen. Under Louis van Gaal in his first full season at the club, Mata has all the tools to do what he did for a Chelsea side who simply didn't feel he fit into the overall picture, for whatever reason. It'll take a great start from LVG and his troops overall to allow such a scenario, but I'm confident Mata will have a belter in 2014/15.
Dan Quarrell (Twitter: @Dan_Eurosport):
Sergio Aguero - It has been an incredibly frustrating last 18 months or so for the Argentine forward, who has been blighted by persistent niggles and muscle injuries. He was dogged by fitness problems last season, but incredibly he still managed to plunder 28 goals in 34 games. There is no doubting his quality, but it's amazing how quickly many forget just how special he is. Real Madrid and Barcelona have made no secret of their admiration for the 26-year-old, but a huge new contract and a very special season will re-establish Aguero as the best attacking player in the Premier League. This will be a campaign that sees him stay fit and flaunt his class once more.
Reda Maher (Twitter: @Reda_Eurosport):
Alexis Sanchez – Grossly undervalued by a Barcelona team which understandably bows to the ego of Lionel Messi, Sanchez is a phenomenal athlete and technician, with a work-rate that will suit the Premier League. A tough little cookie to boot, he should be able to handle the hustle and bustle of English football and is just the kind of signing that could revolutionise a team. His addition – plus the returns of Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey – will benefit the team, not to mention Mesut Ozil, who is now a world champion and will feel the pressure to create eased somewhat. Sanchez dominates matches and could be the star of the season.
Desmond Kane
Alexis Sanchez - I have had the privilege of watching this guy twice at Wembley over the past nine months, and he was highly impressive on both occasions. He helped Chile flog England in a 2-0 win last November, and his movement was pivotal in Arsenal's 3-0 success in the Community Shield against Manchester City on Sunday. Premier League player of the year is a subjective thing, but there is no reason why Alexis won't show Barcelona what they are missing. Has all the attributes required to be a rousing success in England.
Marcus Foley (Twitter: @mmjfoley):
Philippe Coutinho - Coutinho cost Liverpool £8.5 million in January 2013; a pittance for a footballer as lavishly talented as the diminutive Brazilian. Only Luiz Felipe Scolari knows why he was not selected for the World Cup but an extended break will serve Coutinho well as looks to assume the mantle of one Luis Suarez - something he is utterly capable of.
Joshua Hayward (Twitter: @JoshuaHayward99):
Diego Costa – A clearly unfit Diego Costa, like the rest of his adopted national side, had a stinker at the World Cup. He looked off the pace, out of touch and completely bewildered at just how bad Vicente del Bosque's side were. But there is absolutely no doubt of the quality that Costa possesses. The Brazilian-born hitman helped Atletico to the La Liga title last season as well as a spot in the Champions League final. Were he fit for the showpiece event in Turin then he surely would have lasted more than 10 minutes, and the outcome may have been a little different. That aside, Chelsea's acquisition of the striker will prove to be the best bit of business this summer. Alexis Sanchez was a terrific signing for Arsenal, but Costa will fire the Blues to Premier League glory this season. The Spaniard's physique, aggression, persistence and raw talent will set him apart in England's top flight – not to mention his goal-scoring prowess.
Carrie Dunn (Twitter: @carriesparkle):
Alexis Sanchez - Watching the Emirates Cup, he appears completely at home already without a lengthy acclimatisation period, and although he has a lot of hype to live up to, I think he will.

SACRAMENTO -- Assemblywoman Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, has introduced legislation designed to improve oversight and standard of care at residential elder-care facilities.
A package of two bills known as the Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Reform Act were announced in mid-January and introduced last week.
The bills follow revelations of lapses in care and oversight at facilities in Castro Valley and San Diego County. Eggman, a social worker earlier in her career, has told The Record that she is committed to improving end-of-life care and care for the elderly.
The bills, AB 1571 and 1572, would establish an online database with readily available information about the history and quality of care at facilities statewide. They also would empower care-facility residents -- and their families -- by establishing representative councils to hold facilities accountable.

Comments deleted?
Over a year ago
I've been commenting in some comment boxes(?) after I finished an activity such as pedging against something or posting something on facebook and in contests as well but when I refresh the page, my comment is always gone. I read into it on the FQ&A and I don't believe I posted anything wrong. So why was my post deleted every time?


text: Consider the findings from the Ohio State and Michigan studies: Good leadership requires effectiveness on two dimensions � initiating structure, commonly called task orientation, and showing consideration, commonly called employee orientation. Evaluate a leader you know using those two dimensions of good leadership. Describe how well that leader manages both those dimensions.

Re: Fico Score did not improve after 7 month credit card activity
Dear jamie123,
Copy and paste from my earlier comment in this thread: My comment:
Thank you so much for all your comments. I stopped using my cc after they increased the rate from 5.5% to 15.9%. Was paying everything with a debit card. 7 months ago, decided to use the cc and pay fast to avoid interest charged and only to show activity at suggestion of this forum. I have no need for a second card, would not use it. I'm 66 and retired, don't need to buy a lot of stuff as before at a younger age.
Still want to report the error, I have had 7 months of activity on my cc and for this new Fico cr to say " I have no recent activity on my credit card" is wrong! I want that corrected. I paid for the report and it s not accurate. How do I get it corrected please?
Thank you."
When we bought our present home 3 years ago, took out a mortgage, credit score dropped. Just recently, we recouped the score we had prior to taking out the mortgage to purchase our home.
If you read the future scoring scenarios provided by My Fico within the credit report, if one takes out a new credit card, one enitaly receives a reduction in their score. I have no need for a second credit card, I'm only using my card now to show activity. We continue to pay for everything with cash or debit card. If I wanted a new car, I could pay for it in cash, no need to finance. We are fortunate in that way. I just want the best possible score prior to purchasing our final retirement home. As you rightfully pointed out in your illustration, the best scores receive the lowest interest rate. That could save us thousands over time.
What you have done worked well for you. I just can't jusify taking out a second credit card at high interest rates when we don't need our existing card. Yes, I know, I can pay the balance before the interest attaches, that is what I have been doing for the lasts 8 months to show activity.

The last of three discussions on the role of religion in the 2004 presidential campaign. This week, R & E discusses values issues, and the increased prominence of religion in the late days of the race. More
The yoga tradition goes back thousands of years, to ancient Indian philosophy and the Hindu religion. In this country, many Americans find the beginning exercises of yoga good ways to reduce stress. But lifelong practitioners also find it very much a spiritual discipline, using the most severe postures to help quiet the mind and achieve a sense of union with the transcendent. More
The second of three discussions on the moral principles underlying the major issues of the 2004 presidential campaign. This week, R & E discusses surprisingly in-depth comments made by the candidates during a debate about what role faith plays in their policymaking. More
The number of Muslims in the U.S. is variously estimated at between two and six million — or more. About half are immigrants, and most of the rest, African Americans. We have a profile today of two Caucasian converts who were attracted to Islam when they were living abroad. More

Canuck Hotel Happenings from Blogland

Thanks to the savvy efforts of some tuned-in hospitality bloggers, we get insider intelligence:

The tired Terrace breakfast outlet is out, and long-standing Chartwell's dining room is re-branding to a less formal restaurant and bar with a "smoking hot" atmosphere. Read UrbanDiner's latest update, including the renovation press release.

You are here
At Grameen Foundation, our goal is to spur innovation in the global movement to eliminate extreme poverty. Part of that work is to develop better solutions and share them with people like you.
On GF Insights, we share lessons learned from our leaders in the field, news about efforts to expand access to financial and information services for the poor, and how poverty-focused organizations are using data to improve the way they work.

The world's largest democracy is the new testing ground for what could be the largest plan for putting cash directly into the hands of the poorest people. Cash transfer programs have been successful in Latin America and parts of Africa, but India could be the best example of how to deliver these programs on a large scale.
It's certainly a gargantuan task. But, overall, it's a good initiative, with the long-term benefits outweighing the very real obstacles it faces. The most significant impact could be the network of agents (or business correspondents) that will be created to service the transfer system. They could potentially support the other financial needs of the poor, helping India move closer to the goal of true financial inclusion.
Some call mobile phones the great equalizer. With one click, poor farmers in rural Uganda can have the same access to information as a rancher in Texas. Because of this, many expect the dramatic growth of phones in the developing world to bring boundless opportunities.
But according to a GSMA report released in October, we actually ended 2012 with about 2 billion fewer mobile phone subscribers than previously thought. GSMA's estimate of 3.2 billion subscribers by the end of the year (growing at a rate of 16 % per year) is at odds with another report by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) – one of the main public sources of information often cited for this data – that put the count at 6 billion and growing.

"In the tightly written Lola, California, Edie Meidav explores the concept of personal choice through the story of a polemical scientist/author, his Feminist-theorist wife, their daughter, and the daughter's best friend . . . But it's Meidav's unusual prose that is the star of this book. Her style is sculptural; she chips away at the text, dispensing with unnecessary words and punctuation, making even the longer sentences punchy and rhythmic. And in the same way that the characters all dance around the main issues, Meidav's writing evokes a linguistic rope-a-dope." —The Hipster Book Club
"A decades-old murder in New Age-inflected Berkeley forces a reunion between two high-school best friends in Edie Meidav's textured, disquieting third novel. Lola, California plumbs the rise and fall of a friendship, finding its terrifying resonance for the adults it produced." —Ellen Wernecke, The AV Club
"Poignant . . . Brilliantly evoking the millennial shadows that haunt its California setting and rich with humor and heartache, it's one of the most arresting and thought-provoking books of the season." —The Barnes & Noble Review
"[Meidav's] greatest gift in this novel is the element of surprise, which is a common trait among the best thriller writers but is more difficult to hatch in an artful social novel. Meidav creates a beautiful and true picture of female friendship, but as if that were not enough, she also keeps us guessing about who her characters really are, and how much weight their evaluations of each other actually hold." —Liz Colville, The Daily
"Meidav succeeds brilliantly in creating an authentic friendship between Lana and Rose, one that is messy, captivating, and durable. The Lolas are their most powerful testament to each other, and to the writer herself." —Michelle Koufopoulos, The Faster Times
"An intimate and lyrical look at the choices that bind friends and family together, yet also push them apart." —Roni K. Devlin, Shelf Awareness
Brilliant . . . awesome.--Publisher's Weekly
Meidav is a rare thing, a less than well known writer who continues to publish big, dense, challenging novels with a major press. Should Meidav be better known? Almost definitely.

Robertson Tells Father to Love his Gay Son through 'Ex-Gay' Conversion
Today on The 700 Club, a man with an openly gay son asked Pat Robertson how he can show his son "the love of Jesus when you know his sexual preference is an abomination to God." Robertson told the father to love his son by encouraging him to "un-acquire" his sexual orientation and "get out of this." Robertson's advice should come as no surprise, as The 700 Club has featured "ex-gays" and the televangelist has said that gays and lesbians are "on their way to hell," will bring America into the "ash-can of history" and prompt God to destroy America.
Robertson: Well you can love, you know what they say, you love the sinner and hate the sin, but I think what you got to do is love him, you're his father. You want to say, 'look I don't agree with what you're doing but I love you, you're my son, you came from my body, you're part of me and I'm with you but I'd like you to get out of this.' I know people disagree with the question of homosexuality; is it something that they're born with or is it something that's acquired? I think a lot of it is acquired, I don't know all the genes or the genetics that's in your son as to what is causing him to do whatever he's doing, you'll have to figure that one out. But normally speaking, a person who has acquired this can un-acquire it. We've had many people who have indeed left the homosexual lifestyle and gone into a heterosexual relationship and have been very, very happy. But all I can say is love the son, love the son, and show him what you consider a better way.
Notably, Robertson's own Regent University in a study of sexual minorities (gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer or bi-curious) involved or once involved in opposite-sex relationships found that heterosexual behavior did not alter their homosexual or bisexual orientation:
When we look at the sexual minorities specifically, it is noteworthy that the findings from the Kinsey scale suggest that they did report significant behavioral change. This likely reflected the commitment to their heterosexual marriage and the decrease in frequency of same-sex behavior. However, when the Kinsey expanded scale was administered, sexual minorities did not report a statistically significant change in the combination of behaviors, attraction, fantasy, and emotional attachment – the combination meant to convey sexual orientation rather than just behavior.

I'm currently running into an issue with applying conditional CSS to deal with some quirks in Internet Explorer. Usually, I just use the body_class() function to detect what browser the user is using and then output that into the <body> element. However, I'm running into an issue where in Internet Explorer, it is returning "chrome" instead of "ie" in the DOM.
Has anyone else ever ran into this issue?

Hello kind people:
I have installed WordPress correctly(or so it said anyways), and it comes up at the URL http://www.metroexodus.com but I have no access to the dashboard or anything I click on. I get this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in /homepages/14/d126612468/htdocs/metroexodus/wp-admin/admin.php on line 14.
I'm unfamiliar with this part of the path in this statement:
I assume this is my 1and1.com hosts path.
as best I can tell, this is line 14 from admin.php:
if ( ! is_multisite() ) {
wp_redirect( admin_url() );
I'd appreciate any help or guidance in this matter. I've reinstalled the wordpress files twice with the same results.
Thanks in advance

By John Boyle Herald Writer
SEATTLE — The Mariners avoided salary arbitration with three pitchers, agreeing to one-year deals with Jason Vargas, Brandon League and Shawn Kelley, the team announced Tuesday.
The 28-year-old League is coming off an All-Star season in which he recorded 37 saves in his first full year as a closer. He had a 2.79 earned-run average, pitched in a team-high 65 games, and his save total ranked third in the American League.
Vargas went 10-13 with a 4.25 ERA last season and established career highs in wins, strikeouts (131), innings (201) and starts (32). Kelley appeared in just 10 games last season after coming back from Tommy John surgery, and did not allow a run in 122⁄3 innings of work.
Vargas' agency, CAA Sports, tweeted that the left-hander's deal is worth $4.85 million. League will make $5 million, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman. MLB.com's Greg Johns reported Kelley will make $600,000, with another $50,000 possible in incentives.

(ECO:nomics) P&G: Throw Some Cold Water on Those Clothes
(The following is an update from The Wall Street Journal's ECO:nomics conference, which focuses on the business of the environment and runs through March 23. For all the coverage of this conference, check out: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/tag/economics)
Robert A. McDonald, chief executive of Procter & Gamble Co., predicted that if 70% of U.S. consumers use cold water to wash their clothes, "we could provide the energy for 4.4 million households in this country," he said at morning session at the Journal's ECO:nomics conference.
He estimated that about 40% of U.S. homes now use cold water.
Mr. McDonald's comment was made in the context of what P&G is doing to try to make sustainable products, which include trying to make detergents better wash in cold temperatures.
If the conference audience is any measure, we're on our way: a quick electronic poll of attendees found that 59% used cold water; 41% don't.

Chrystal Cook and her boyfriend Brad Donnalley rented from me for 5 months.
They did not pay the rent in full. Each month they created a new reason why they were out of money.
They sublet the premises to unknown and unregistered people. Their dogs and parrots ruined the floor.
When evicted, they stole furniture, vacuum cleaner, ladder, all instruments and other possessions. They broke the possessions that they were not able to steal: the washering machine, the blower, etc.
They left the house dirty. She clogged the toilets with feminine products.

ACUTE renal insufficiency, including the syndrome of lower nephron nephrosis, is characterized not only by retention of nitrogenous end-products but also by profound disturbance in fluid and electrolyte metabolism. Thorough understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is essential for the correct management of these patients. Bywaters1 renewed interest in the syndrome of acute renal insufficiency with his description of azotemia following crushing injuries. The pathologic changes, the pathogenesis, and the clinical picture have been summarized recently by Burch and Ray,2 Muirhead,3 Strauss,4 and Lucké.5
Since the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte equilibrium during the critical oliguric and early diuretic phase of lower nephron syndrome appears distinctly to influence the fatality rate, an effort has been made to study the nature of disturbances in these equilibria. Complete metabolic studies of sodium, potassium, chloride, nitrogen, and water balance were made in 5 cases of severe acute renal insufficiency for periods of 6 to 23

Behind the Scenes: Evans on latest 'Captain America'
Chris Evans reprises the role of Captain America, only this time he finds a foothold in modern times rather than World War II.
"Cap doesn't fly; he doesn't shoot lightning bolts," Evans said. "He punches and kicks, so with that type of combat, to make it cool you have the liberty to get grittier. It feels a little more voyeuristic, a little more documentary style."
"The Winter Soldier is Bucky Barnes, and he was one of my Howling Commandos during World War II. He's a guy that actually didn't make it back and, as the comic books go, he was found by the Russians and transformed into the Winter Soldier."
"For the first scene I had with him, he was there at like midnight doing off-camera dialogue for me. It's amazing. It's like it was his first movie. It's inspiring."
