I think they just know there is no constitutional justification for denying gay rights. If you want a theocracy then by all means secede from the USA and have one.

The supreme courts sounds like there are some on the bench inclined to use some
common sense and good jurisdictional decisions. This has been a good week for
the American people.
There should be more prudence too in what items
the supreme court chooses to pass judgment. It seems that just about every law
and legislation is being sent to the supreme court before they even gets viewed,
reviewed, or passed by the houses of congress. No laws can pass that don't
go through the houses of congress. Monarchy and dictatorships are
unconstitutional heads of state and have no legislative powers.
Obama is getting slapped silly with all their aggressive and illegal maneuvering
of bills to try a bypass the congress and its about time. Lets hope that any
attempt to amend inalienable rights is also shot down as illegal legislation not
within the powers of the president or supreme court to change.
Congress is the only ones that can approve constitutional changes with a
declared constitutional convention of all 50 states in attendance. The supreme
court and president cannot make decisions or judgment on the constitution or
bill of rights or declaration of Independence.

So what Clement is saying is that there was an issue where they needed court protection, but the system dragged it out so long that it's no longer an issue.

Gays have rights, just like the rest of us. I can't marry someone of the same gender. Neither can they. I should not be able to 'marry' someone of my gender neither should they because that would dilute the status of marriage as being society's way to promote the value that children should be raised by their biological parents whenever possible and that mean should be responsible for the children that they father.

Really?? So before the Civil Rights Movement,
blacks couldn't use the same water fountain as whites, so it's ok that
you could only use a water fountain for your "color"? Blacks
couldn't use the same bathrooms, go to white schools etc... That made it
ok? No, it didn't and not allowing two consenting adults of the same
gender to marry in a legal sense because you can't marry someone of the
same gender doesn't make it right (or ethical)

Leave it to the lawyers! At least they appear to understand that prohibiting gay marriage can't be won in court, but they might prolong DOMA if they can keep it in the political process. Their twisted argument seems to say "gays are becoming so powerful that they will eventually get their way anyway so there is no point in ruling on the matter," if the doom of DOMA is inevitable, why are they wasting our resources trying to defend it?

Not allowing consenting adults of the same gender to marry is an emotional
argument; not a legal one.
Legally, proponents cry discrimination and
invoke the 14th amendments Equal Protection Clause. Keep in mind, government
must be able to discriminate - and it does - otherwise it could not regulate
human behavior. Nonetheless, government may not discriminate unreasonably.
Government must show that the distinction between gay marriage and traditional
marriage serves a compelling governmental interest and that the distinction is
related to achieving that goal for the discrimination to be reasonable.
Government does have a compelling interest to sustain society and preserve its
future; achieved by strengthening and maintaining that kind of union that
creates and rears children and bonds us to past and future generations. Since
nature excludes gay unions from that objective, that kind of union as a whole
may properly be excluded from marriage.
True, not all traditional
marriages are fertile - they needn't be. That governmental intervention
would conflict with the individuals right of privacy (the Supreme Court has
declared the right to privacy existence in cases centered on birth-control and
abortion). Government meets this important object by merely promoting what kind
of union qualifies for marriage.

nice attempt at rewording an old argument but since homosexual
couples do have children and develop intergenerational bonds coupled with the
fact that there is strong evidence to support that such relations do produce

Dear Hmmm....
I'm with Kalindra on this.
But I would
add that you are right about one thing: There is an emotional argument in the
gay marriage debate. And that emotion is fear. Fear of gays, fear of the other.
Fear of gay marriage.
You have not made rational arguments against
gay marriage because there aren't any. The prohibition of gay marriage
doesn't strengthen families. Nor does it change a gay person's sexual
orientation. Nor does it stop gay couples from living committed lives together.
Nor does it stop gays from having kids, as Kalindra pointed out.
the government has a clear interest in strengthening families it won't be
done by invalidating some of them. It will be done by constructive measures
aimed at the divorce rate, safe and healthy homes, etc. And you have to concede
that a gay parent's capacity to love his or her child is not limited
because he or she is gay. The prohibition of gay marriage cannot accomplish any
of the things you would like to believe it will, and that is why it's
irrational to ban it.

I heard a quote from a black preacher recently who stated, "don't
compare the color of my skin with the nature of their sin", referring to
gays. Although gays may be born with a predisposition toward the sin of
homosexuality, it is no different than any other persons predisposition toward a
particular type of sinful behaivor.
We are admonished to "take
up our cross", and given the agency to decide what we will choose. While we
are free to choose the action, we are not free to choose the consequences of
that action. Of course we should continue to show love and compassion to our
gay brothers and sisters, just as the Savior would. But this doesn't mean
we don't continue to stand for what is right.

The problem with your position is that the supposed sin
is just made up nonsense. Love and commitment by themselves are not sins in
anyone's book. And because no one chooses his/her sexual orientation (a
quick self-check reveals that fact through simple introspection), why is it that
love and commitment are fine for one combination but not another? Religious
blacks might be offended by the equation, but marriage equality is a civil
rights issue. Remember, interracial marriage was also viewed as a sin. But
viewed as a civil rights issue we now see the folly of our past.

You dont speak for all gay people or for those of us who
love them and accept them for who they are. Me and my wife have had numerous
discussions with our son who has repeatedly told us how concerned he has been
over the bigotry and discrimination he faces yet hes the one who keeps telling
us that forcing the issue judicially will do more harm than good, especially
emotionally. He understands what you dont and that is that this isnt a judicial
decision but instead is a legislative one. That gay rights can only be protected
when the majority agrees because the rights of gays isnt limited to laws instead
it has more to do with how gays are perceived as valued members of society. Nor
is it a matter of theocracy since even non-religious people take issue or are
uncomfortable with homosexuality. We must win them by persuasion and the rights
of my son dont involve you making people hate him even more with your talk of
secession if they dont like it. There are mature ways to do things and demeaning
others the way you and homophobes do isnt

"Regardless of one's stance on gay marriage,

"marriage" is wrong!"
Of course it is and it undermines
all that those of us who are working for gay rights have done and it continues
to infuriate people who disagree with us even though we are trying to persuade
them. Example,
what person who is black and who also has issues or is
uncomfortable with homosexuality will appreciate comparing gay marriage and
rights to what blacks and others had to go through when there really isnt a
comparison. The only commonality is that both are discriminated against but it
doesnt help to compare and try to see who has been more discriminated against or
to argue that discrimination against gays comes anywhere close to that against
blacks. The only time gays have ever been slaves is when they were black. The
only time they havent been able to use the same restrooms, water fountains or
bathrooms is when they were black.
What person who is only mildly
uncomfortable with homosexuality appreciates being demeaned or being told they
can secede if they don't like it? No one.

When it comes to what kind of union produces life, gender matters – it matters a lot. The strength of that union is absolutely vital to the existence of mankind, to families, to society, to nations. Any other kind of union, social agency, adoption agency, etc. (wonderful as they are) is simply an appendage or substitute due to its breakdown.

fights are extremely uncomfortable. However, if that is the price we have to pay
to achieve what heteroasexuals take for granted, then so be it.
Comparing blacks and gays is perfectly valid. Of course, an anti-gay black
pastor will attempt to deny the simple fact that he can change the color of his
skin as much as an homosexual can change his sexual orientation.
There are many gays who have been conditioned to believe there is something
wrong with them. Many express it. Fortunately, it doesn't make it true.
We are all children of the same God. God knew what he was doing when he
made us all with our unique personalities. Homosexuals and Heterosexuals have
contributed to the development of our civilization.

Commodity Fact Sheet
September 2009
On Dec. 11, 2002, the United States concluded negotiations on a free trade agreement (FTA) with Chile, the first such arrangement with a South American country. The U.S. – Chile Free Trade Agreement entered into force on January 1, 2004. This agreement provides America's farmers, ranchers, food processors, and the businesses they support with improved, and in many cases, new access to Chile's market of 15 million consumers. This comprehensive agreement calls for duty-free access on all products and addresses other trade measures for both countries.
U.S. Dairy Products Gain Improved Access to Chile's Market
Before the agreement … U.S. dairy products faced a 6-percent tariff. Without preferential access, U.S. dairy products were at a disadvantage to those from Argentina and Uruguay. These neighboring countries had advantages due to lower transportation costs and existing trade agreements with Chile. The major dairy products Chile has imported in recent years are nonfat dry milk, whole milk powder, cheese, and whey powder. Argentina and Uruguay generally supplied half to two-thirds of Chile's dairy product imports. In 2001, Chile's imports of these products from all countries totaled just over 20,000 metric tons valued at $36 million. A major supplier of cheese and whey, the U.S. share of Chile's total dairy product import market averaged just under 5 percent from 1999-2001. U.S. dairy products were further restricted due to differences in inspection regulations and grading standards.
With the agreement… U.S. dairy products gained preferential access as the 6-percent- tariff was eliminated in 4-8 years depending on the product. Chile phased-out its tariffs over 4 years on cheese (HTS code 0406), butter and butterfat (HTS code 0405), whey products (HTS code 0404), and yogurts (HTS code 0403). Chile will phase-out its tariffs over 8 years on liquid milk and cream (HTS code 0401), and condensed and evaporated milk (HTS code 0402) which include both whole milk powder and nonfat dry milk. Chile recognizes the authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve plants eligible to export to Chile.
Chilean Dairy Products Secure Improved Access to U.S. Buyers
Before the agreement … The United States applied tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) on imports of most dairy products from all sources. These TRQs were then further refined in terms of specific products and specific countries. For example, Chile was permitted to ship 220 tons of cheddar cheese and 80 ton of blue-mold cheese to the United States. For cheddar, in 2001 the in-quota tariff was equal to $0.35/kg. and the out-of-quota rate was $1.23/kg. During the 1999-2001 period, Chile's major dairy exports to the United States were evaporated and condensed (canned) milk. From 1999-2001, average annual U.S. imports of dairy products from Chile averaged 4,300 metric tons valued at just over $4 million. Total U.S. dairy imports from all countries were $1.5 billion. The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for the safety of imported goods.
With the agreement… Initial duty-free quotas were established for dairy products, which increased 7-percent annually until all quotas are eliminated after 12 years. During the first year of the agreement, the following duty-free quotas were established on Chilean dairy products entering the United States: 1,432 metric tons for all chesses; 300 metric tons for butter and butterfat; 828 metric tons for milk powders; 489 metric tons for condensed and evaporated milk; and 452 metric tons for other dairy products including some chocolates and food preparations. Under the agreement, the FDA continues to have authority to test and approve imports from Chile similar to what it does for other countries.

Microsoft has confirmed its will cut prices for its Windows Azure Storage cloud offering by as much as 28 percent.
The discount, which takes effect from 12 December, comes on the back of similar cuts by cloud rivals Amazon Web Services and Google.
"This follows our March 8 2012 reduction of 12 percent furthering our commitment to best overall value in the industry," wrote Stephen Martin's Microsoft head of cloud computing on a company blog.
Prices for Azure Storage start at $0.095 per GB per month for the first 1TB of data stored using Microsoft's geographically redundant service. This service provides more than 400 miles of separation between replicated data.
For customers willing to have less dispersed replication, prices start at $0.07 per GB per month for the first 1TB of storage.
Customers needing more storage can expect to pay less.
The move comes as competition in the cloud storage market intensifies.
Microsoft claimed to be making significant progress in attracting customers. It now says its has over four trillion objects stored in its Azure Storage cloud and receives an average of 270,000 requests processed per second, and a peak of 880,000 requests per second.
Earlier this year, Microsoft's Azure platform suffered an embarrassing outage, which saw high profile sites including the government's G-Cloud service knocked offline.
Microsoft's problems stemmed from a software bug, which failed to account for this year's Leap Day.

Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis and Malin Akerman are the latest cast additions to the Jon Favreau-penned comedy "Couples Retreat."
The Universal movie follows four couples who take part in couples therapy at a tropical island resort, with some participants being more willing than others.
The men will be played by Jason Bateman (paired up with Bell), Favreau (with Davis), Vince Vaughn (with Akerman) and Faizon Love.
Former child actor-turned-producer Peter Billingsley is directing the project, which will film in Bora Bora and Los Angeles.
Bell, who shot to fame as TV's "Veronica Mars," currently has a recurring role on NBC's "Heroes." She recently appeared on the big screen in the comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Davis is coming off the box-office success of the "Sex and the City" movie, where she reprised her role as Charlotte.
Akerman appeared in "27 Dresses" and will next appear in the film adaptation of the "Watchmen" graphic novel series, as well as the romantic comedy "The Proposal."

Yarnell Hill, on Highway 89 in Yarnell, Arizona, has seen large number of motorcycle accidents in recent times.
It is a five-mile stretch of curving road to the south of Prescott and has long been regarded, by those who know it, as the worst in our state for accidents.
There have been around 250 accidents on this roadway in the last 10 years, resulting in over two-dozen deaths. Of these incidents, a large majority involved motorcyclists.
Arizona Department of Public Safety Sergeant Dan Larimer said that it has been a continous problem that has resulted in some of the most gruesome accidents he has seen in his career.
State transportation records have shown that Yarnell Hill is in fact the worst place for accidents. Sgt. Larimer estimated that at least three-quarters involved motorcyclists that came to the hill to take in the landscape or to race. He revealed:
"You can see them weaving back and forth..warming up their tires."
Although the speed limit on this road is posted at 45 mph, the recommended speed on the curves is at 30 mph.
Larimer said that he sees bikers coming around the bends at 80 and 80 mph. He stated:
"It's like driving a bullet. It's going to go pretty well in a straight line, but if there's a car in front of you, guess what? You're going to hit it."
DPS officers have said that the only way to cut down on this sport is to patrol more often, but that they just do not have enough personnel to do so.
State officials have recognized the severity of the problem and are reportedly getting ready to spend $5.3 million in federal grants to fix up to road, plus an additional $100,000 to recruit more officers to patrol the hill.
This is certainly a huge problem, and as Phoenix motorcycle accident attorney, you see the devastating injuries of that motorcycle accidents can inflict, even at lower speeds.
These individuals that are pushing the limit must know the consequences of their actions, and it is encouraging to see that the state has a plan to help ensure the protection of innocence motorists that pass by on this roadway.
Our Phoenix motorcycle accident law firm will keep you updated as more information becomes available on the fight to protect Yarnell Hill.

To look at Lonnie Donegan today, in pictures taken 40 years ago when he was topping the British charts and hitting the Top Ten in America, dressed in a suit, his hair cut short and strumming an acoustic guitar, he looks like a musical non-entity. But in 1954, before anyone (especially anybody in England) knew what rock & roll was, Donegan was cool, and his music was hot. He's relatively little remembered outside of England, but Donegan shares an important professional attribute with Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Sex Pistols -- he invented a style of music, skiffle, that completely altered the pop culture landscape and the youth around him, and for a time, completely ruled popular music through that new form. What's more, his music, like that of Presley and Haley, was vital to the early musical careers and future histories of the Beatles, the Stones, and hundreds of other groups. And he did it in 1954, before Elvis was known anywhere outside of Memphis and before Bill Haley was perceived as anything but a Western swing novelty act.

NFL Draft
Wheeling, dealing Niners finish draft strong
Harbaugh expects Looney to be an eventual starter
Antonio Gonzalez
Associated Press sportswriter
Posted Apr 28, 2012
When the NFL draft finally reached its conclusion Saturday, the 49ers had turned one draft pick into five, added three more picks for next year, found a mauler they think can fill their only open starting position and added depth at one of the team's few thin areas. Yes, you could say it was another productive draft for the Niners and the wizard running the show, general manager Trent Baalke.
Baalke never felt pressured to load up on rookies or sacrifice depth to make one, splashy pick.
With a talented roster expected to challenge for the Super Bowl, the Niners' GM instead built depth and created future flexibility on the final day of the draft.
Particularly Saturday.
Baalke still hopes the 49ers also plugged a few holes – and maybe found a hidden gem – in Saturday's late rounds, selecting guard
Joe Looney
of Wake Forest, Notre Dame linebacker
Darius Fleming
, Michigan State free safety Trenton Robinson, offensive lineman Jason Slowey of Western Oregon and defensive end
Cam Johnson
of Virginia.
San Francisco also netted three picks for the 2013 draft.
"It's all about value," Baalke said. "We feel good about that depth. It's about drafting players at the right value, and also making sure that they have a legitimate chance to make this football team."
Going to back to Friday's third round, it seemed San Francisco might never draft another player.
The 49ers traded back three straight times from the 92nd pick before moving up to land Looney in the fourth round and 117th overall. San Francisco sent its original fourth-round pick (125th) and a sixth-rounder (196th) to Detroit.
The 6-foot-3, 318-pound Looney started at left guard the last three seasons for the Demon Deacons and – unlike the team's other picks on the final day – could have an immediate chance to play. San Francisco lost 2011 starting right guard
Adam Snyder
to Arizona in free agency. Snyder's backup,
Chilo Rachal
, signed with Chicago in free agency.
"As impressive an interview as we had at the combine," 49ers coach Jim Harbugh said of Looney, emphasizing the lineman's "oomph" and "pizazz" as reasons. "We believe he will be a starter in this league for us."
Looney has a head start.
He spent part of the offseason working out with former 49ers center Jeremy Newberry (1998-2006), who knows Looney's agent, Andy Ross. The practice should speed up Looney's learning curve in Harbaugh's complex version of the West Coast offense.
The pulling guard – a key position in San Francisco's zone-blocking scheme to attack linebackers – had a left ankle injury that kept him from working out at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis and Wake Forest's pro day. He said Dr. Bob Anderson – the same specialist to perform surgery on Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry's right ankle last year – in Charlotte cleared him for running and jumping activities two weeks ago.
"I love pulling around, coming up on linebackers," said Looney, who can also play center. "I feel like that's an offensive lineman's time to shine."
Looney's selection followed a series of trades by San Francisco to add future picks.
Baalke parlayed the original 92th overall pick in the third round into five picks in trades with Indianapolis, Miami and Carolina. In all, that included a pair of sixth-round selections Saturday – one of which was later sent to Detroit – plus a pick in the third, fifth and sixth round in 2013.
The 49ers lost to the eventual champion New York Giants in the NFC title game and figured it best not to overload with late picks who probably won't make a talented roster this fall anyway.
"We feel like we're ready to go," Baalke said, acknowledging the team will sign undrafted free agents in the coming days.
That will include at least a trio of former Stanford players – defensive end Matt Masifilo, wide receiver
Chris Owusu
and safety Michael Thomas – who Harbaugh recruited while the Cardinal's coach. Masifilo drove from the nearby campus and signed minutes after the draft ended.
"That's probably one race and the last race I'll ever win against Owusu," said Masifilo, confirming his teammates would soon join. "Coach Harbaugh likes to cut drag. He said it's a competition to get down here as fast you can."
Familiarity proved to be a common theme for Harbaugh's new group.
The 49ers drafted wide receiver
A.J. Jenkins
of Illinois in the first round Thursday before selecting Oregon running back
LaMichael James
on Friday. James, Looney and Fleming made it three straight players Harbaugh had faced while Stanford's coach.
Fleming had 55 tackles, 3½ sacks, one interception and one forced fumble for the Fighting Irish last season. San Francisco has perhaps the NFL's best linebacker corps with All-Pros
Patrick Willis
NaVorro Bowman
and sensational rookie
Aldon Smith
, among others, but a shortage of outside linebackers. Still, it will be tough for Fleming to find playing time as a rookie beyond special teams.
Even though he will be half a continent away from his native Chicago, Fleming should feel right at home.
He was a college roommate of San Francisco's
Ian Williams
, and the two are close friends. Fleming, who wanted to avoid the agony of watching the draft, was stuck in Chicago traffic when Harbaugh called him to deliver the news.
"I was actually rolling pretty well and then once I got the call traffic hit," Fleming said. "I'm fine with being stuck in traffic now that I'm a 49er."
In the sixth round, San Francisco took Robinson 180th and Slowey 199th overall.
Robinson had 76 tackles last season and his nine career interceptions are tied for 12th in Michigan State history. Slowey played left tackle for most of his career at Western Oregon but is projected at center or guard in the NFL.
The 49ers took Johnson in the seventh round and 237th overall. The Virginia defensive end is expected to shift to a pass-rushing outside linebacker in Vic Fangio's 3-4 scheme in a transition similar to the one Aldon Smith made a year ago.
"It's a historic day for so many of these young men," an overenthusiastic Harbaugh said. "But it's not the end. It's very much the beginning."

Atfirst glance, it might be hard to think of Electric Guest as a "serious" band. Lead singer Asa Taccone's brother, Jorma, is a member of The Lonely Island, and Asa and bandmate Matthew Compton have helped with some of Lonely Island's biggest bits.The music on debut album Mondo is infectiously poppy, and even their videos can come off as a little joke-y.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer - Ki Tisa
Ashkenazic minhag (custom) is to commence this haftarah with the previous narrative, in which we read that Eliyahu is dispatched by God to appear to the evil King Achav regarding a drought that was afflicting the region. Then, Achav decides that he and his servant Ovadiah should go through the land in dire search of water. Ovadiah encounters Eliyahu during his travel and tells Eliyahu that he has sought all over for him, whereupon Eliyahu instructs Ovadiah to let Achav know that he (Eliyahu) will appear to him. Ovadiah is initially reluctant to do so, fearful that Eliyahu will disappear and Ovadiah will then be punished by Achav for Eliyahu's failure to appear before the king. Eliyahu assures Ovadiah that he will come to Achav that very day, which Ovadiah reports to the king. When Eliyahu and Achav meet, the king accuses the prophet of being hateful of the Jewish People, whereupon Eliyahu retorts that Achav is the hateful one, for abandoning God and going after idolatry. Eliyahu then summons the masses to Mount Carmel where he demonstrates Hashem's control of all and the folly of idolatry by invoking a large-scale miracle in God's Name, and the people repent.
The question arises - why do Ashkenazim read the section before the events on Mount Carmel? What is that text's connection to the parshah?
The previous d'var Torah on Ki Sisa explained the reasoning of those who precipitated the manufacture of the Egel Ha-Zahav. These people had a subjective understanding of Torah and did not yield to its objective authority. It can be suggested that the motives for this approach can be found in the haftarah under present discussion.
Chazal (our sages) taught that - despite what one would expect - Achav gave great honor to the Torah. How is this to be understood in light of Achav's idolatrous practices?
Although Eliyahu bore a message from Hashem about the drought, we read that Achav decided to go about and search for water. Achav felt that 'real life' issues were to be handled on a practical, human level, while Torah and mitzvos were to be reserved for the beis medrash or shul, so to say. Rather than realize that God controls all, that there is no part of life that is outside the realm of Torah, and that heeding the prophet's message would stop the drought, Achav adhered to a philosophy of separation of Judaism and reality, feeling that the way to deal with the drought was to try harder to locate water.
People who seek to forge new, innovative paths in Judaism are more often than not driven by personal comfort and convenience or self-gratification than by a sincere spiritual mission to cling to the Torah and spread its message in a greater manner. Over the course of history, we find new groupings and forms of 'Judaism' that were purported to reflect a higher spiritual drive or loftier understanding of Torah, but - in the end - all realized that what was presented was an excuse to attain comfort or non-spiritual goals, and it was revealed that acceptance of the 'yoke of heaven' was really never part of the picture of this new 'Judaism' in the first place, despite all assurances.
Achav did not internalize the values and messages of the Torah, and he and his masses went astray after idolatrous worship and failed to follow and apply Torah values to real life, as they were driven deep down by other motives. So, too, did those who went after the Egel Ha-Zahav not have a real philosophy of Judaism; their subjective approach to Torah flowed from a need for personal satisfaction and gratification, not from a sincere desire to keep God's Word. The Medrash relates that those who worshiped the Egel determined that Moshe would not descend Har (Mt.) Sinai as he had promised, based on their flawed calculation of the 40-day period on the mount, and they thus logically inferred that a new figure must be made to lead them. We cannot accept that the people sincerely felt that Moshe was not coming back and that they thus innocently turned to following the image of the Egel in their quest for God and for the way of life they had known under Moshe's leadership. On the contrary, just like Achav's commitment to Torah was insincere and self-serving, so was that of those who served the Egel. Their ideology was not marked by a misplaced fidelity to Torah. Deep down, there was an infidelity and a desire to define Judaism as they felt most comfortable; Moshe's absence merely allowed for the formulation of a warped theology based on an excuse. This is to be contrasted with the case of Ovadiah, who trusted Eliyahu to come to the king when he committed to do so, and Ovadiah literally placed his life on this commitment. This is precisely why Eliyahu's arrival and the seemingly delayed arrival of Moshe from the mount are brought into perspective.
Those who are innocently misled are not held accountable for their ways, but those who formulate new paths that are not in consonance with accepted Torah norms usually do so for reasons of self-interest and out of a lack of sincerity. We need to keep this concept at the forefront of our thoughts in order to preserve Torah and remain faithful to God's ways. This is the lesson of Achav.
Why - of all things - was an egel, a calf - the image that was formed and subsequently worshiped?
One can suggest that a calf was chosen because of its symbolism, reflective of two things:
1. A cow provides nourishment to the human race like no other living species. The Jews who had departed from Mitzrayim realized how dependant they were on Hashem, and their dependence on someone other than themselves was best manifest, in their minds, in the form of an Egel.
2. The Calf was initially intended to be an intermediary to God. A suckling calf - while being a source of nourishment - is totally dependant on its mother cow. So, too, was the Golden Calf envisioned as being a connection to God, the parent of Bnei Yisroel and its ultimate Provider.
The Parah Adumah (Red Heifer) is burned to ashes prior to use for purification. Perhaps the message is that purification comes from God alone; the animal creature that seems to be man's provider is reduced to ashes, and the ashes, which symbolize rejection of intermediaries to God and idolatrous belief, constitute the method of purification and a true, legitimate approach toward God.

Rowing is the ultimate team sport. Every person in the boat needs to work together to progress. The younger girls are nurtured and inspired by the older girls. Our Rowing Club is more than a club, it is a family. It is not necessary to have excelled at another sport to become a rower.
Rowing is a high school sport but, because the season starts in the third term (September), girls in Grade 7 are invited to join the Rowing Club. Their first experience of Rowing is at the pre-season Rowing camp held during the last week of August holidays and the season ends after South African Schools' Championships held during the first weekend of March.
Training is both water-based at Victoria Lake Club in Germiston and land- based in the School's Ergo Room. Regattas are held on Saturdays. The Club is dependent on the support of families with transport and involvement in the Club.
St Mary's School Rowing Club has enjoyed much success during the past 17 years and we have won the SA Junior Champs Best Girl's Club Trophy over 12 times. We are proud of our rowers who have been selected to represent Gauteng. Some girls have gone on to represent South Africa at the Junior World Rowing Championships.

Oklahoma Strikes Back Against Sharia Law
Oklahoma is well-known as the place where the wind comes whistling off the plains. But most of the country, including most of the state's population, is unaware of its status as a hotbed of seditious activity by radical Islamists. But now families in that great state can rest easy that their legislators are working hard to outlaw sharia law – next month Oklahoma voters will vote on a ballot measure designed to outlaw sharia law, a form of law that would never be permitted under the U.S. Constitution, in the state.
This will, of course provide additional assurances that the state's Muslim citizens, who comprise .81 percent of the state's population, will be unable to hijack the government in the dead of night. Republican State Rep. Rex Duncan's "preemptive strike" against Islamic law is the first of what is sure to be a new "first strike" legislative mentality among congressional representatives. After all, if Duncan can "...see this in the future somewhere in America" and bring the matter to voters, what's to stop others from bringing forth other ballot measures aimed at stopping clear and present dangers such as"
- The awakening of dread Cthulhu and the Old Ones
- The raising of zombies by voodoo priests (it's documented fact that this increases the risk of zombie apocalypse)
- Creating robots that may eventually rise up and overthrow their masters
- The adoption of the Vietnamese Dong as our national currency
- The eventual demise of the Sun (which, in several billion years will go supernova and flash fry the Earth)
At issue isn't the fact that most rational people in the world have no desire to live under sharia law. The issue is that the highest law in the land, the U.S. Constitution already expressly forbids the adoption of sharia law, or any system of religious law, for that matter.
This is another example of lawmakers capitalizing on paranoia and irrational fears to shore up their credentials as tough on terrorism in a decidedly conservative state. And when the fears you're playing off of only involve .81 percent of the population, and an even lower percentage of registered voters, it's a pretty safe bet. So while unemployment may be high, our bank-owned homes will be safe and sound from radical Islam in our backyards.

Learn the latest! — Specific termination provision upheld after sale of business
When a company purchases another business, it is important to consider the legal implications respecting the status of employees. The Ontario Superior Court recently decided a case regarding the validity of an employment contract where an employee had signed an agreement with his former employer but never executed a new agreement when the company was purchased by another business. The plaintiff argued that the employment contract only governed the previous employment relationship. The Court disagreed, finding that the terms of the employment contract still applied.
Court confirms high threshold to enjoin a former employee from engaging in competition
In Survival Systems Training Ltd. v. Survival Systems Ltd., the Nova Scotia Supreme Court recently dismissed a company's motion for a injunction to prevent former employees from engaging in competitive activities. The Court confirmed that employers must meet a high threshold in order secure an injunction which would effectively prevent a former employee from working in their chosen vocation.
Navigating the minefield: Court of Appeal reiterates distaste for restrictive covenants
Hunter Harrison, the former Chief Executive Officer of Canadian National Railway (CNR), faces a dilemma in dealing with his obligations under a non-compete covenant to his former employer. Harrison is being pursued by CNR competitor Canadian Pacific Railway to assume the position of CEO, but taking that position might violate the non-compete agreement.
How to craft an enforceable non-solicitation clause
Generally speaking, a restrictive covenant acts to restrict the activities of a former employee after their employment has ended. They usually come in one of two forms: non-competition clauses and non-solicitation clauses. The law on restrictive covenants is that they are prima facie unenforceable as they are in restraint of trade and therefore against public policy. In order to be enforced, they must be proven by the party that seeks to enforce them to be a reasonable limit on trade.
Superior court refuses employer's request for injunction
In yet another example of the reluctance of the Ontario Superior Court to restrict competitive activities of former employees, the Court rejected an employer's request for an injunction…
Competing with former employers
The Ontario Superior Court re-affirmed the freedom of employees to leave their employer and set up a competitive business.
Employee exodus: has Moses led your employees to the promised land?

In cellular mobile communication, since there will be conversation in progress in case of handover calls, GOS for them should be less than that for newly originating calls. Basically, there are three channel assignment schemes, fixed, dynamic & hybrid channel assignment schemes for handling newly originating and handover calls. In this study, capacity design for cellular mobile network in area inside ring road in Kathmandu valley has been done according to the findings of data collection and analysis of mobile communication service being provided by Nepal Telecom. Capacity planning has been done with GOS equal to 2% for newly originating calls and 1% for handover calls. In addition to capacity planning, efficient channel assignment scheme in terms of blocking and throughput has been evaluated with optimal utilization of the designed capacity for getting minimum blocking for both types of calls maintaining the blocking for handover calls always less than that for newly originating calls. The simulated values of GOS & throughput for all channel assignment schemes at different penetration have been compared and hybrid channel assignment scheme has been found to be most efficient.

From each head of cauliflower, you can cut two thick steaks, slicing from top to bottom near the center to yield a pair of slices each held together by the core. The resulting steaks, seared on the grill, make a head-turning presentation with a creamy tahini sauce. Serve as a first course before grilled lamb or fish. Use any leftover sauce on grilled vegetables, fish, or roasted beets.
Also, check out our interview with organic farmer Erin Flynn, featured along with this recipe in Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America's Farmers
Serves 4
Tahini Sauce
1/4 cup tahini, stirred well to blend
1/4 cup water
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
Kosher or sea salt
2 medium cauliflowers
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
1. Prepare a moderate charcoal fire for indirect grilling or preheat a gas grill to medium (375˚F), leaving one burner unlit.
2. To make the tahini sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, 1/4 water, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Whisk in the garlic, cilantro, and salt to taste. Taste and adjust with more lemon juice, if desired.
3. Trim each cauliflower, removing any leaves and cutting the stem flush with the base. Set a cauliflower cut side down on a cutting board. With a chefs knife, cut two steaks, each about 3/4 inch thick, from the center of the cauliflower, so that the core holds each slice together. Repeat with the second cauliflower.
4. Put the 4 cauliflower steaks on a tray and brush one side with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the steaks over, brush the second side, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Place the steaks over indirect heat, cover the grill, and cook, turning once, until tender when pierced, about 15 minutes total. For the final minute or so of cooking, uncover the grill and move the cauliflower directly over the coals or flame to char it slightly.
6. Transfer the steaks to a platter and drizzle with the tahini sauce; you may not need it all. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot or warm.

Looks like Harrison Ford has a good ear for creating a funny TV moment.
And that ear belonged to Jimmy Fallon.
In a queasy, brazen display of do-it-yourself chutzpah, the actor pierced the talk-show host's ear … right in front of a live audience on Friday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
But it was Fallon's alternately petrified, amused and shrieking reaction that stole the show.
Here's how it all went down.

Justin Timberlake, who just unveiled his new single, "TKO," on Friday, embarked on an all-out media blitz Tuesday night to hype the upcoming release of The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2, the second volume of his blockbuster comeback effort.
And Timberlake, 32, didn't hold back: The popster pulled double duty with appearances on two late-night talk shows.

And that's definitely a cause for celebration.

"The people from the studio were like, 'We're thrilled, we're so excited ... but, listen, we want to talk to you because people go through this process and it can be trying,' " Affleck said.

"I Am BioLogos"
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
My goal in leading this organization for these past three and a half years has been to lay the groundwork to help my fellow evangelicals see that the conflict between our faith and mainstream science is not as great as they thought it was. In the process, my thinking has been significantly shaped by listening to people who think differently than I do
Part of BioLogos mission is to show how all things hold together in Christ—to show how a Christian worldview integrates the knowledge we have of God through the Scriptures with the knowledge we have of God through the other areas in which He reveals himself as Creator and Redeemer.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Throughout my various conversations with fellow believers, the most-mentioned anxiety over accepting an evolutionary creationist paradigm is the fear of losing the Bible as one's spiritual anchor and source of authority.
How do we give our visitors access to our vast archive of resources, and how do we make sure they are finding the resources that address their most pressing questions?

THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2012 - In tune with the 1970s REO Speedwagon tune, we finally have some results from the Orange Cup Regatta's tunnel boat classes from last weekend. I heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who . . . Well you see the comparison to the song. Actually, I heard it from Sam Winer who heard it from Mike Tilton who was there himself.
In F2, SST-120 on Saturday, Terry Rinker climbed to the top of the heap in both heat races. The finishing order from the first heat was Rinker, followed by Brian Burkhardt in second, Brent Dillard in third, Jeff Reno in fourth and Frederick Durr in fifth. There was seven 120 boats at the event, but Michael Floyd and Derek Hallman didn't start the first heat race. In the second heat race it was again Rinker, followed by Reno, Dillard, Burkhardt, Durr, Floyd and again, Hallman, didn't start the second heat.
In the SST-60 field there were five boats on the water at Lakeland. Rob Rinker in his newly painted white AMSOIL machine paced both heats. Jeff Krischano in Brent Dillard's old F3 boat finished second, followed by Carole Reno, Steve Dinicolantonio and Mike Webster in the former Dave Hensel F3 boat. The second heat saw Rinker, Reno, Webster, Dinic and Krischano finish 1-5. All of the racing on Sunday was cancelled due to unsafe wind conditions.
Thanks Sam and Mike for getting the results to me. I guess my blog post from earlier in the week hinted that I was frustrated with not being able to find out anything. But, now we all know.
Anyway, off to APR Superleague offices for a meeting in the morning to finalize the Huntington race dates, talk about boat numbers and negotiate bringing a new sponsor into the sport. Hope to undate you on the outcome this weekend.
