Fraternité Matin, Côte d'Ivoire
By Kemal Derviş and Trevor Manuel More recently, we have heard forecasts
of inevitable future "water wars", predictions rooted in fears that
there is simply not enough fresh water to meet the needs of an
expanding and quickly urbanizing global population. All
too commonly, water pricing operates on the perverse principle that the
poorer you are, the more it costs. Urban slum residents pay some of the
world's highest prices for water. The poorest households of El
Salvador, Nicaragua and Jamaica devote more than 10 percent of their
income on water; in the United Kingdom, by contrast, spending more than
three percent of family earnings on water bills is considered an
economic hardship. The
Government used its regulatory powers to require all municipalities to
provide a basic minimum of 25 litres per day free of charge to each
household, with the target of achieving free basic water for all by
2008, with no household more than 200 metres from a water source. The
task is not yet complete, but South African's citizens rightly expect
the government to keep its promises. The remote provincial towns
and the burgeoning mega cities of the developing world all need major
investments in water utilities. This will be costly, and in many cases
impossible without financial help. But the ultimate price of a failure
to invest in clean water supplies – in health care costs, lost
productivity, and ultimately, human lives – far outweighs the expense
of spending what is necessary now. The
emerging industrial powerhouses of the 19th Century faced the same
problem. Infant mortality rates in New York and London were similar
then to levels seen in the developing world today – and for the same
basic reasons. Those cities invested massively in public water
utilities that rapidly reduced gastrointestinal disease and built a
foundation for economic growth and a rising quality of life. It can be
done. The
2006 Human Development Report urges every developing country to prepare
a national plan to accelerate progress in water and sanitation, with
ambitious targets backed with at least 1 per cent of GDP, and clear
strategies for overcoming equalities. Currently, national public
spending on public water supplies is typically less than 0.5 per cent
of GDP. The
Report also calls for a Global Action Plan under G8 leadership to put
water and sanitation problems front and centre on the world development
agenda. The authors make a persuasive case for an additional US$3.4 to
$4 billion in annual international aid for water and
sanitation—assistance that should be considered an overdue investment,
with enormous long-term returns in health and productivity, and basic
quality of life. Each of the eight Millennium
Development Goals is inextricably tied to the next, so if we fail on
the water and sanitation goal, hope of reaching the other seven also
rapidly fades. We have a collective responsibility to succeed. On
practical and ethical grounds both, it is difficult to imagine a better
investment in the health and well-being of the world's poor.
the 1970s, the Club of Rome and others warned of coming dire scarcities
of food, oil and other essentials, the seemingly inexorable
consequence of rising demand for limited resources.
concern is understandable: there are now more than a billion people
with no regular access to clean water for drinking, bathing, cooking or
basic sanitation. And the consequences are already appallingly evident:
an estimated two million children die annually because their families
don't have potable water or functioning toilets.
a rational analysis of the water problem shows that there is no
objective reason – financial, logistical, or geographical – why the
poor cannot be provided with enough clean water to meet their basic
human needs. As we have seen with staple grains and hydrocarbons, the
supply and delivery of crucial goods is the result of many variables,
some inherently unpredictable, from shifting market incentives and
technological innovation to public investment and policy frameworks.
And sometimes the missing ingredient is political will.
In Cape Town yesterday
[THURSDAY 9 NOVEMBER], the United Nations Development Programme
launched a pioneering study that debunks many of the myths of the
worldwide water crisis -- among them the inevitability of cross-border
conflict -- and suggests many practical solutions.
The central argument of the newly released 2006 Human Development
Report ("Beyond scarcity: Power, poverty and the global water crisis")
is that access to a safe and affordable water supply should be
considered a basic human right. Governments can and should recognize
this right by ensuring that all citizens
have access to a minimum of 20 litres of clean water per day, and that those who cannot afford to pay get it for free.
many parts of the planet are faced with acute water shortages, a
problem which is being exacerbated by global warming. Whether it is
water or the broader problem of global warming, the challenge is
fundamentally not one of aggregate resources, but rather one of the
priorities of political leaders, nationally and internationally.
of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals is to halve the
proportion of people in the world without access to safe drinking water
by 2015. If we continue with business as usual, 234 million people will
miss that basic water target.
much of the policy discussion on water delivery has been dominated by
a dead-end debate on privatization versus state ownership. This is a
false choice: there is a wide range of rational financial and policy
approaches for securing clean water supplies, with most relying on
some combination of public and private sector involvement. The real
challenge is how to get potable water to those who can least afford to
hooked up directly to municipal water pipes typically get the cheapest
water. The poor have to go through a web of intermediaries – tanker
truck operators, vendors and other water suppliers – to purchase their
water supplies. Every step they are forced to take away from the water
source adds to the price.
South Africa, the basic policy framework for a solution is now in
place. Access to water was one of the defining racial divides during
apartheid. In the post-apartheid period, the adoption of a rights-based
approach to water supply created a legitimate sense of entitlement
among citizens, empowering communities to hold local governments,
private utilities and the national government to account.

Welcome to the USS Valiant-100-786-Science Class Frigate,
New recruit. Your mission is to report to Space Station Jericho in the Alpha Quadrant. There you will receive all the required tool to investigate a recent anomaly. The anomaly being a strange form of radiation being admitted from a near by nebula. The radiation affects the brain, causing people to hallucinate, and hear voices in their head, thus going insane. This Nebula is a class-A priority due to the implication that it seems to be spreading at an alarming rate. Currently the space station that has been trying to reduce the growing of the Nebula has gone silent. Investigate, research, and try to contain the growing of the nebula before it's too out of control. Too help you in your mission we've installed an AI known as "Apollo" on your ship. Apollo has been a break through in science for Earth since it's been the first functioning AI in history. Apollo should be of valuable use in this mission. Good Luck Valiant Crew.
Is anyone interested? I am think a full bridge crew 5-8 people. Just wondering if anyone likes the idea.

Every actor has a love-hate relationship with sides. Those pesky pieces of paper that hold so much weight when it comes to who books the job! Some people love the art of getting into the character's head, while others never take the time to really get to know their character. Some people are quick studies and can memorize dialogue quickly, while others dread having to memorize anything. There will always be parts of the process that we prefer more than others, but the key is learning how to make friends with those areas that we don't particularly enjoy. Befriending your sides is a huge part of what makes an audition successful or a blunder!
So if your sides are so important, what is considered kosher in the casting room? There are many opinions about when it's appropriate to use your sides while auditioning, so following the individual casting director's direction is the most important part. Aside from being told what a certain individual prefers, however, there are some safe basic rules that talent can abide by to set themselves up for success in a new casting environment.
It's an initial audition and you have 11 pages of sides. Who decided this was a good idea?!?! Despite how much dialogue there is, in today's market there is no excuse to not have your sides memorized. You may have less than 24 hours notice. You may not be a quick study. But consider the position of production: there are a lot of talent auditioning. How many of those talent are going to have their sides memorized when you don't? And if you were looking for that "it" factor or connection from an actor, would you be more likely to get it from someone not worried about their lines or from someone whose eyes and head are bobbing up and down? Memorize your sides if you want to be in the running to book the job. It's that simple.
It's a callback with the director. You already nailed the initial audition and had your sides memorized. Brush up before heading into the callback room, but carry a copy of your sides with you. Why would you need them since you have it memorized? At a callback, you should expect to be given some direction. The professional actor is more focused on character and the given direction than they are lines, but it is wise to have the crutch there so that you are not tripped up during a great read. Leaning on your sides when making changes on the fly is acceptable and expected. (Read our last blog about being focused on the things that really matter.)
The bottom line is that no matter how good you think you are or how big your resume or reel grow, you will always need to connect with someone in the casting room. In on camera work, we connect through the eyes. If your eyes are busy reading a page, you lose that connection and someone else gets the job. If your eyes have us captivated, we will remember you for years to come -- and THAT is how a career is built!

In short: Probably the best off-road marathon in the country?In full: Fabulous race with gorgeous views. A constantly changing course with lots of variety and generally only "undulating" hills and nothing too outrageous (aside from the St Martha's Church incline!).Amazing to see so many marshals helping out and, unlike a previous contributor, I am eternally grateful to every single one of them for their selfless help. It matters not at all whether they all shout encouragement -- that's not everybody's personality. They were there to make sure we were safe and stayed on course. Thank you!!!The RD promised to ensure there'll be additional water available at the finish next year. And with that, this race cannot possibly be improved. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended to all!Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: Great January Marathon in lovely rural GloucestershireIn full: This race did exactly what it said on the tin: It was a marathon in January in Gloucestershire! That meant the course was mildly undulating and the weather was a bit cold (although luckily today it wasn't too bad at all).The Race HQ in the school was a perfect size for the 500 competitors, and congratulations to the organisers for keeping the limit so that facilities could cope.The course lap was almost entirely left-hand bends, making it easier/safer to always stay on the left (and the shortest line) while staying out of the way of what little traffic there was.The laps made it really nice to mix up the slower and faster runners and create a good spirit between them which is often absent on conventional courses.The beanie hat and outstanding medal were brilliant.As Garmins always over-measure, I am not in the least concerned that mine reported the course being about 0.1% long. I hardly imagine that I was able to stay on the perfect racing line the whole way.Water and High5 drinks at the well-staffed drinks station were excellent too.Great stuff and I'll be back.Date of review: January 25, 2011
In short: Lovely course, clockwork organisation, excellent t-shirtIn full: A really nice course around Wisley Common, with some tarmac, leaves, puddles, sand, puddles, hills, tree roots and more to contend with. It all added to a sense of adventure and made this a welcome alternative to yet-another-road 10k.I'm surprised any runners encountered problems with the dog-runners. My experience was that they were polite and considerate of those around them, often moving aside to give the other runners more room to pass. The course was generally very wide (wide enough to get two buses through), so it didn't matter, and when the course narrowed it was only for a few moments.My memory of the day was the great comararderie between the dog-runners and the other runners.Well done to the organisers for a lovely t-shirt and the high-quality catering!TZDate of review: November 6, 2010
In short: Brilliant low-key marathon. Fantastic organisationIn full: Very well-organised course. The high school HQ was perfect for the number of runners this year. The course was a lovely trip along narrow country lanes, generally lined with high hedges so sheltered from the weather.This felt like a very relaxed long Sunday run - no pressure or stress at all. A lovely change after London week ago.Great bespoke medal (so much better than the standard picks from the Running Imp catalogue!). Great stuff!Date of review: May 5, 2010
In short: The finest race organisation in the UKIn full: A fabulous course with very little traffic, exceptional organisation, generous sweatshirt and goodie bag, nice scenery, quick (although not completely flat) course. Everything is brilliant. Races like the Bath Half-Marathon should come here for lessons on how to keep runners happy, this is how it's done.Date of review: March 24, 2009
In short: Flat. Fast... but so much more than that!In full: My attraction to this race was:a) Its extraordinarily flat course,b) Its 9am start-time (before the weather gets too hot).I came and found the flat course and duly set my new 10k PB!However, I was really pleasantly surprised by just how much more there was to this race than just a quick course. The organisation was really slick - arranging people into a human-chain before the start worked well. We had a man dressed as a squirrel sounding the starting hooter! Load of marshalls, excellent km markers and all the lumps and bumps on the pavements had even been marked out with white paint.At the finish we all got free orange squash, then a free banana, then a goodie bag, then a nice t-shirt (in a variety of sizes), then a medal! Even you fancied a quick dip, you were also entitled to a free swim in the Leisure Centre pool.Results were available to view within minutes of finishing, and up on the website by early evening.The organisers also raised a lot of money for local charities.This is a model race, and one which barely puts a foot wrong. It's so much more than JUST a flat course!TZDate of review: May 18, 2008
In short: The best race in the world.In full: 'nuff said.Date of review: April 28, 2008
In short: Totton. This isn't just fast. It's very fast!In full: It's true that Totton was at the back of the queue when God handed out pretty scenery.But who cares? If you're going sufficiently slow to notice, you're not trying hard enough! :-)The organisation here was excellent, and the school coped admirably with the people. Even the chairs in the hall were big enough for full-sized people!Well marshalled, a nice souvenir, results displayed within minutes of runners crossing the line, official photos available as soon as the race finished.This is a no-nonsense, well-organised uber-fast 10k.Please, Hampshire Police, please can we keep it?!!TZDate of review: April 8, 2008
In short: Fast, picturesque course in a nice locationIn full: For me, this is a really good race around very attractive countryside. I was very appreciative that we had 100% of the roads closed, enabling some nice fast lines around the bends! :-)The weather was perfect (10degC, sunny) and I found the organisation to be excellent. Their planned car-park was a quagmire, yet they quickly found more parking on hard-standing at a nearby construction site. This is one race where you do need to arrive early - it is a small town which does not quickly absorb 4000 people trying to park within one hour of each other!I really enjoyed my day, having used it as a pre-FLM pacing test. There was a lot of crowd support and a lot of drink stations. I was perhaps lucky to be in the front 200 runners, so I didn't find the start to be any issue at all.The free race t-shirt was well designed (not always the case in other races!) and available in a good range of sizes. The "hologram" crystal paperweight is a great reward - very generous.If the race were not 250 miles from home, I'd be back every year in the future!TZDate of review: March 31, 2008
In short: Outstanding road-running race, despite peripheral problemsIn full: This is a fabulous race, and my personal experience was brilliant.The course is an absolute blast - the only little hill lasts for a very short distance and it's in a area with deafening spectator support. The rest of the way it's flat, extremely wide and really really fast.The drink stations were staffed perfectly, every marshall smiled, the goody bag was the best I have ever received (including the London Marathon), the medal is great quality. The crowd support was superb, and the inclusivity feeling for everybody - fast and slow - was heartening.OK, there was a cock-up at the start and we were delayed by an hour. Of course it was pure luck, but I was grateful that the extra hour allowed the rainfall to stop before the race started. Once you know about the delay it was no bother - there are so many coffee/tea shops and fast-food shops in Bath, everybody had somewhere to wait.I agree that the drink stations need to be on both sides of the road on the second lap. The faster runners were unable to access the stations because all the slower runners were kept to the left side of the road. That should be easily fixed.Other than that, all I would ask of the organisers is that they look at the weather forecast and lay some decking down in the race village (a lesson learned and fixed at the Great South Run after similar problems in 2006).I loved the medal, t-shirt and goody bag and was carefully handed them by happy marshalls. I guess I was lucky in finishing in the sharp-end of the field, but I can only comment on my own experience.Finally, I really don't object to paying £28 for a fast city-centre race on closed roads, Police and St John Ambulance support and good rewards at the end.Bath have some lessons to learn, but for me this was a terrific experience and I will be back.TZDate of review: March 16, 2008

Byetta, Victoza, Bydureon: Diabetes drugs and weight loss
Tell me about the diabetes drugs Byetta, Victoza and Bydureon. Can they really help people who have diabetes lose weight? Are there side effects?
from Maria Collazo-Clavell, M.D.
Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon) and liraglutide (Victoza) are taken by injection, similar to insulin, but they're not insulin. These drugs are in a class of drugs called incretin mimetics, which improve blood sugar control by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). Among other things, these drugs allow insulin, which lowers blood sugar, to work more effectively in the body.
Byetta, Bydureon and Victoza not only improve blood sugar control but may also lead to weight loss. There are many proposed ways in which these medications cause weight loss. They appear to help suppress appetite. But the most prominent effect of these drugs is that they delay the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine. As a result, you may feel "full" faster and longer, so you eat less.
Byetta is injected twice daily, and Victoza is injected once a day. Bydureon, a newer formulation, is injected once a week. These drugs do have different effects and side effects to consider.
- Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon). The most common side effect of exenatide is mild to moderate nausea, which improves with time in most people. Several cases of kidney problems, including kidney failure, have been reported in people who have taken exenatide. Rarely, exenatide may cause harmful inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
- Liraglutide (Victoza). Some studies have found that liraglutide reduces systolic blood pressure and triglycerides, in addition to improving blood sugar control. The most common side effects are headache, nausea and diarrhea. Clinical studies have also shown that liraglutide may cause pancreatitis.
If you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia, you shouldn't use exenatide or liraglutide. Laboratory studies have associated these drugs with thyroid tumors in rats. Until more long-term studies are completed, the risk to humans for developing these types of tumors as a result of using these drugs isn't known.
These drugs are designed for people who have type 2 diabetes and haven't been studied as a weight-loss aid in people who have normal blood sugar. If you have diabetes and wonder if Byetta, Bydureon or Victoza may be helpful, talk to your doctor.

how to win trophies??
how to win trophies??
I think what you are trying to ask is "What are trophies and how do I get/win them".
Well in response to that, Trophies are the PS3 equivalentto the Xbox360s Achievements Trophies are awarded for players obtaining certain milestones or achievements in games. For now the only game that supports Trophies is Super Stardust HD however, many coming soon games are likely to incorporate Trophies into the games although SONY has not many it compulsory. Likewise, only a select few of the older PS3 titles are planned to be patched to include Trophies.
For a full breakdown on the trophies included in SSHD then check out this thread.
Last edited by wicked insanity; 07-10-2008 at 01:14 PM Reason: thread moved
I've heard that all the new game have to incorperate trophies.
They seem to be on top of updating there game. I dont really play it, but i must say they show more interest in there game than any other company so far.
I just thought it was kinda funny they didnt have patches for some of the games ready for this update and trophies. But yes they are right, they will start to use it more as time goes on. There has been nothing that i have read that has said they have to add trophies to all new games. we will see tho.
Trophies are achievements that you get for games. You get them for etc, killing 50 people in GTA (that's not a real one), then others can see you've killed 50 and then praise you on PS Network

Here the bread is topped with a roasted pepper, garlic and almond sauce that beautifully complements the sweetness of the shrimp. Any leftover sauce is also wonderful as a dip for vegetables. (TMS Photo) |
You can taste coffee, fruit, pastry, roasted chickens, spices, oysters ... the list could go on forever. Plan your trip around the Saturday morning outdoor market -- there is nothing like sitting on a bench by the Oakland Bay Bridge, eating breakfast and talking food politics with the locals.
I always try to find out what's cooking with the local chefs, and was thrilled to discover chef Kory Stewart at Americano Restaurant. There is a vibrant bar scene in the front of the restaurant, and behind a curtain there is a small dining room turning out some sensational dishes. One dish I couldn't stop thinking about was bruschetta with shrimp and romesco sauce. It is a sublimely simple recipe, perfect for the home cook.
Bruschetta is thick-sliced bread, grilled and scented with garlic, usually drizzled with fruity olive oil. While we usually think of this dish as topped with tomatoes, actually it is a blank canvas for other savory ingredients. Here the bread is topped with a roasted pepper, garlic and almond sauce that beautifully complements the sweetness of the shrimp. Any leftover sauce is also wonderful as a dip for vegetables or a finishing sauce on any grilled fish, chicken or meat.
Shrimp bruschetta with romesco sauce
Prep: 40 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
1 pound peeled, deveined medium shrimp
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 French or sourdough baguette, sliced in half horizontally, cut into 4-inch long slices
1 clove fresh garlic, sliced in half
Romesco sauce, see recipe
Finely chopped parsley
1 Cook the shrimp in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until just cooked; season with salt and pepper. Alternately, grill the shrimp on skewers over medium-high heat. Cool and slice the shrimp in half.
2 Brush bread slices liberally with olive oil. Toast on a grill pan, griddle, grill or under the broiler until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat; rub cut side all over with the cut sides of the garlic.
3 Liberally spread bread with romesco sauce; arrange a few shrimp on top. Garnish with parsley.
Romesco sauce
In a blender combine 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, peeled, seeded; 3 tablespoons marcona almonds; 1 slice white bread, crusts removed, cut into small pieces; 2 cloves garlic; and 1 teaspoon pimiento de la vera dulce (dried red pepper), or paprika; blend until pureed. With the motor running, slowly add 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil; blend until the mixture is emulsified. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste (and a little water if too thick). Taste for seasoning. Makes: about 1 1/2 cups

South Boulder Creek
Location: Boulder CountySize: 1193 acresDesignated: January, 2000 Landowner: City of Boulder
South Boulder Creek Natural Area features a mosaic of high quality wetlands, wet meadows and mesic grasslands, including plains riparian forests and tallgrass prairie ecosystems.
A remnant of the plains cottonwood riparian ecosystem occurs in good condition along South Boulder Creek. This riparian community provides essential wildlife habitat and contributes to the biological diversity of floodplains along the Colorado's western plains.
In combination with riparian and grassland communities, wetlands found along South Boulder Creek are considered to be among the best preserved and most ecologically significant in the Boulder Valley.
The floodplain in the area includes habitat for three species of concern: a rare plant, Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei); and Bobolink (Dolichonix oryzivorous), a locally rare bird on the edge of its range. In addition, the area serves as a research site for on-going floristic and wildlife investigations.

Find out how you could reduce the risk of diabetes.
Diabetes is forecast to be our single leading cause of disease burden, but Diabetes Australia says we can change that.
1. Know your risk and keep a healthy weight
More than 2.5 million Australians are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but many are unaware until it is too late. Excess weight, particularly around the abdomen, can significantly increase the chances of type 2 diabetes. For men, their waist circumference should be less than 94 centimetres; for women it should be less than 80 centimetres.

Improving Logistics Using floor tape
According to the basic standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, all of the long-term aisles and passageways have to be suitably marked. These general guidelines are of necessary concern to all permanent places of employment, with the exception of work environments that serves only for agricultural, domestic, and mining operation. Procedure, measurement, and control of poisonous materials are additionally beyond the scope of OSHA's general standards. Therefore, if your business is involved in industrial work, such as production of products, then in it is essential that you make your factory's permanent passageways marked suitably for the security of your employees. Probably you're fast answer for complying in this guideline is to simply paint the floorings of your factory however you really should not do it. After much passing by and hefty traffic in your factory, those paints would simply quickly fade away. So instead of utilizing paint as your floor markers, you must make use of flooring tapes.
Flooring tape markers are fast to set up and uncomplicated to preserve. Yet, you have to bear in mind that no two manufacturers of anything create the exact same item in just the exact same means; that's why patents are extremely protected. This is the cause why randomly purchasing floor tapes isn't really the best step you can take. You want to check many of these floor markings from different makers. Do not stress about a couple funds for checking them, you will definitely benefit from it in the long run. Plus, a lot of suppliers really provide cost-free samples of their items for you to exam. So that's the 1st action, make your purchasing department order several free of charge samples from different producers. Even, make certain that the purchasing division has certainly found out the right questions when it comes to installing flooring tape markers. Such as if there are particular sorts of tapes for specific types of floor coverings.
Speaking of human-powered vehicles, there should also be flooring markers to provide them space in the passage ways. The room supplied for that in the pavements can easily be as reduced than 1.5 meters in width. As for the length, it clearly depends on the road. You must additionally provide flooring markers for the spacing between the crates. If your warehouse and crates are both massive and are saved in large volumes, you must keep the gap between each column of crates for about 0.5 meters. The bigger the crates and the even more trucks coming in per given time, the even more gap it demands for. It is a matter of balance, which implies that your logistics will definitely not enhance by mindlessly increasing the gap between the columns of your crates. The color of the markers for the crates really should be different from the color of the road markers. Finally, in order to prevent mishaps, there must likewise be floor tapes that suggest the security distance between the crates and a individual standing to monitor the work that is being done.

THURSDAY, January 20, 1881--10 a.m.The Lieutenant Governor commanded attention Dr. Aaron Wood, Chaplain of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home and Home for Feeble-Minded Children, at Knightstown.
Mr. Menzies introduced a bill [S. 125] to amend Section 3 of the act for the protection of wild game [so as to shorten the time in which quails and pheasants may be killed one month], which was read the first time and referred to the Committee on Rights and Privileges.
The Lieutenant Governor announced the special order for this hour, being consideration of Mr. Comstock's bill [S. 62] to remove the disabilities of coverture. The question being on the pending amendment (Mr. Viehe's) offered yesterday morning--
Mr. Brown--If this bill passes and becomes part of the common law, a married woman can make any kind of a contract she choose, and then a serious question would arise as to whether or not her husband would be liable for her contracts.
Mr. Comstock--Under this bill a married woman will be invested with the same rights as an unmarried woman, except that she can not convey real estate without the consent of her husband. Her property would be liable for her own contracts.
Mr. Langdon favored enlarging the rights of married women, providing it can be done without infringing on the marital relations and rights of the husband. There should be great care taken that contention and strife be not brought to the family hearth-stone, which sacred place should be carefully protected from anything like contention and strife. This bill is treading on very dangerous ground. Such legislation should be perfected with great care and deliberation, and Senators should not jump in blindly, when a little time might make the bill more perfect and acceptable to all. He moved to refer it to the committee on Revision of Laws.
Mr. Bell was anxious to have this bill discussed and considered at once, and without delay. Under the present law, the husband is liable to pay for necessaries purchased by the wife, but not liable for her contracts, and the passage of this bill would not fix the husband any liability for the wife's contrast. The effect of the bill is to allow the wife to make contracts separate and apart from her husband, making her separate property liable to her contracts. The time will some when the disposition of this question will be forces upon us and its deliberate consideration will undoubtedly result result in the passage of this or a similar bill. After a full discussion of this bill, he had no objection to the reference proposed by the Senator from Tippecanoe (Mr. Langdon).
Mr. Spann was of opinion that this bill, if passed, would wipe out all other laws in reference to married women now on the Statute Books and cited instances where every dollar's worth of her property might be swept away, leaving her not even so much as a dress or a bonnet. He favored extending every right to married women in so far as the law may be just to them and their consorts.
Mr. Brown was not troubled with the fears expressed by the Senator from Rush (Mr. Spann). This bill should be amended by the addition of a proviso, that when the wife's property is put to sale upon execution sued out upon a judgment obtained upon her contract, the law of exemption ought to apply. Deeds and mortgages are the incumbrances contemplated by the provisions of this bill. Under this bill, after exhausting the property of the wife, it is not clear but the property of the husband would then be liable; and if passed, the bill should be amended so that the husband shall positively not be liable for the new engagements the law may permit the wife to enter into.
Mr. Chapman considered that the danger apprehended by the Senator from Jackson [Mr. Brown] does not exist in fact. He ha been recently of opinion that the Courts were wrong in deciding that the husband is liable for contracts of the wife, even for necessaries, unlessthe husband had authorized the wife to enter into such contracts. A late English decision requires proof of authorization by the husband of the wife as his agent to make such engagements, before the husband can be held legally liable.
Mr. Menzies--From the difference of opinion already expressed this morning, it is made plain that there is grave doubt about the effect of the bill were it passed into a law. At this time he page: 66[View Page 66] was no prepared to give this bill any support. In its present shape it looks like a bill in the interest of the legal profession.
Mr. Woods at first blush was of opinion that this bill, if passed, would produce 10,000 lawsuits in this State, if not an equal number of divorces. It proposes to strike down every law passed on this subject since the organization of the State. While always in favor of enlarging the rights of married women, he would not favor a bill nullifying all previous acts concerning married women, including all provisions heretofore enacted for their protection. Proper barriers ought to be placed about such legislation,in order that proper domestic relations may be maintained between husband and wife.
Mr. Henry favored a reference of this bill to some Committee which would give it care consideration. He cited one provision in this bill which would prove perfectly useless. The time has come when we should go back to the former status of married women, or wipe out every distinction so far as the rights of married women are concerned under the law. He would put man and wife upon the very same level before the law, as if they did not sustain to each other the relations of man and wife. He opposed removing from the husband his legal liability for the support of his wife and of his family.
Mr. Comstock felt no more interest in the fate of this bill than in any other which he heartily favored. About its importance there can be no question. Whatever the disabilities of coverture are,they are proposed to be removed by this bill. The question as to what the disabilities really are can be determined by the Courts,and the question for the Senate to consider is: Shall the disabilities of married women be removed, with the single exception mentioned in the bill? He did not believe that the marriage relations existing between husband and wife at all impairs the wife's intellectual faculties, but that she is as capable after marriage as before to manage her own property and act for herself. He would be glad to see the bill referred to a Committee which would give it a full and fair consideration, and was gratified to hear the expressions of opinion in reference to it already made by Senators on this floor this morning.
On motion by Mr. Bell, the bill was referred to a Special Committee of five, who the Lieutenant Governor makes to consist of Messrs. Bell, Grubbs, Viehe, Wilson and Spann.
The Senate then took a recess for dinner.
A number of petitions were presented for the submission of Constitutional Amendments to a vote of the people, as to whether the right of suffrage shall be extended to women, and whether traffic in intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited.
Mr. Wilson offered a resolution, which was adopted, requiring the Committee on Claims to inquire into the expediency of creating a State Board of Claims, composed of the Auditor, Treasurer aid Secretary of State, to hear and determine all claims against the State, with the right of appeal to the Courts.
The following described bills were introduced, read the first time and severally referred to appropriate Committee:

Mr. Kramer's bill [S. 86] appropriating moneys to pay members of the Indian Legion.
On motion by Mr. Chapman, the bill was amended by providing that no officer shall receive any fee for services performed under this act.
And then the Senate adjourned0.
THURSDAY, January 20-10 a. m.The House was called to order and prayer offered by Rev. J. K. Pye, of M. E. Church of this city.
The reading of the journal of yesterday's proceedings was commenced and proceeded with, until--
On motion, the further reading was dispensed with.
On motion by Mr. Fall, the bill [S. 106] to confirm the conveyance of certain lands by the Commissioners of Wabash County was read the first time.
Mr. Fall moved that the Constitutional rule be suspended, that the bill may be pressed to the first vote, which was agreed to, by yeas, 82; nays 6, and the bill was read the second time by sections, and finally passed, by yeas, 91; nays, 1.
Mr. Neff, by leave, submitted a report from a majority of the Judiciary Committee on the bill [H. R. 3] concerning interest and usury, with a recommendation that it lie on the table, he stating the objectionable feature to be that it allows only 6 per cent interest, where, under existing laws 8 per cent can be collected.
Mr. Buskirk submitted a minority report from the same Committee, recommending the passage of the bill. He stated his impression, if the bill should become a law, that Eastern capitalists would withdraw their moneys from the State, which would be a blessing to her people.
The minority report was concurred in--yeas, 59; nays, 32.
Mr. Huston thought the people would be seriously affected by the passage of this bill, and opposed a 6 per cent. interest law, not because it would be detrimental to the banker and money lender, but because it would injure the general business interest of the whole State, because it would drive from the State all foreign money. He moved that the bill be recommended to the Committee for further consideration.
Mr. Moody stated that there were thousands of dollars in this country owned by farmers who were willing to loan it out at that rate of interest named in the bill because there was not a farmer in the Northern half of the State who can possibly realize 3 per cent. out of the money invested in his farm. The withdrawal of Eastern capital would cause people to pay as they go, and not incumber themselves by mortgaging their property therefore he favored the passage of the bill.
Mr. Berryman did not believe in an attempt to regulate interest by legislation.
Money like other things, is governed by the law of supply and demand, and the law can not compel a man to loan his money at a certain rate of interest. We might just as well try a legislate the Democratic party into Heaven as to fix by legislation the rate of interest at which a man shall loan his money. He thought the man who has money has the same right to fix the rate of interest at which he will loan it, as the man owning corn has to set the price at which he will sell it. Experience teaches that it is dangerous to legislate on this question.
Mr. Carter thought the interest bill ought to be further considered by the Committee, and favoured its recommittal.
The motion to recommit was agreed to by ayes, 57; nays, 36.
Pending the roll call Mr. Hammond, when his name was called; thought hasty legislation on the matter of importance was dangerous; therefore,voted "aye."
Mr. Kenner, when his name was called, was in favor of this motion, and thought the bill could be fully discussed upon its merits on the third reading; and therefor voted "aye."
Mr. Kenner moved to suspend the Constitutional rule, that the bill [H. R. 16] be read the second time by title, be considered engrossed, read the third time and put upon its passage.
Pending which came time for dinner.
The pending motion was agreed to-yeas, 64; nays, 21, and the bill, [HI R. 16]: To provide for a re-submission of the Constitutional Amendments proposed by the last General Assembly to the people of the State for ratification, was read the second time by title only; the third time by sections and finally passed--yeas, 74; nays, 23.
Pending the roll-call--
Mr. Buskirk, when his name was called, said: "He was opposed to the amendments as proposed for ratification by the people, and for another reason, that the matter had once before been submitted to the people, and rejected by them, he would vote no."
Mr. Cole in explanation of his vote, said that although some of the amendments did not meet his entire approbation, he could see no harm to the submission of them again to the people, therefore he voted "No."
Mr. Moody, when his name was called said he favored some of these proposed Constitutional Amendments and opposed some, but inasmuch as they have once been submitted to the people and believing that there is no Constitutional authority to re-submit them, he would vote "No."
Mr. Neff, in explanation of his vote, said that after these proposed amendments were submitted to the people and overruled, he did not consider it our duty to submit them again. Therefore, he voted "aye."
So the bill passed.
Mr. Floyd offered a resolution, which was adopted, requesting the Committee on Revision to report as soon as possible the bills in its possession.
The following described bills were introduced, read the first time and passed to the reading:
By Mr. Vawter [H. R, 142]: Authorizing the sale and conveyance of certain lands in Jennings County belonging to the State of Indiana.
Also [H. R. 143]: To make the Township Trustee of each Township Superintendent of Highways and Roads.
By Mr. Kain [H. R. 144]: Legalizing the collection of delinquent taxes by the sale real estate, where the officers have omitted to assess the tax, etc.
Mr. McIntosh offered a resolution declaring it the opinion of this House that no enumeration of the white male inhabitants of the State over the age of twenty-one years can be made until six years after the last enumeration, etc.
On motion it was laid on the table by yeas, 51; nays, 36.
By Mr. O'Brien [H. R. 145]: To amend Sections 1 and 2 of the act supplementary to the Assessment of Property Act, approved December 21, 1852 and providing for fixing the rate to be allowed for the annual publication of the delinquent list.
Also, [H. R. 146]: To amend Sections 197, 204, page: 68[View Page 68] 228, 230 and 281 of the Uniform Assessment of Property Act.
By Mr. Taylor, of the Lagrange [H. R. 147]: To enable owners of wet land to drain and reclaim the same when it can not be done without affecting the land of others and provide for the repair and enlargement of such drains.
By Mr Pancher [H. R. 148]: in relation to the construction of fences, gates, crossings and cattleguards on railroads within this State. (Unless Railroads Companies properly construct such guards, they shall be liable for the damage done to the stock thereon.)
The House then adjourned.

Plate tectonics
From National Science Education Standards: Earth's history
The surface of the moon is full of jagged craters. This rough surface comes from millions of years of collisions with rocks—called meteors—that crash into its surface. Why doesn't Earth's surface look like that?
Earth's surface does have some evidence of meteorites, such as the massive Meteor Crater site in Arizona. That crater is about 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) across and about 570 feet (174 meters) deep. So does that mean that was the size and shape of the meteor that crashed there? Nope! It was much smaller than that. With this fun activity, you can use small snacks to study this striking feature of Earth's—and the moon's—surface.
When you watch a meteor shower, most of the streaks of light (or "shooting stars") that you see are actually small rocks burning up in Earth's atmosphere. Most of them don't reach the ground, but those that do are called "meteorites." These rocks are traveling so fast (thousands of miles per hour) that they hit the ground with an amazing amount of force. That force is usually enough to move a lot more dirt than the size of the meteorite itself: the crater.
The meteorite that created the 4,000-foot-wide Meteor Crater in Arizona was probably only about 164 feet (50 meters) in diameter (really big for a rock falling from outer space, but still only a fraction of the size of the crater it created). Scientists estimate that this impact event occurred about 50,000 years ago—long before there were humans living in the area. The moon has a lot more visible impact craters because it doesn't have an atmosphere to burn up smaller incoming rocks. The moon also does not have liquid water or an active crust (with volcanoes and other forces) to alter the surface and remove evidence of past impacts. These agents helped to smooth out many of the meteorite craters here on Earth in the billions of years since the planet formed.
• Large shallow pan or tray with edges
• Flour
• Dry pudding mix, dry drink mix or cocoa powder or another powder that is a different color
• Roundish nuts, seeds and/or small fruits (such as raisins, almonds, peanut halves, cherries, and so on)
• Sifter or sieve
• Fill the large pan or tray with an inch or two of flour.
• Cover that layer with a dusting of the second, different-colored powder using a sifter. This layer will be like the top level of "dirt" on the surface.
• Assemble your collection of mini "meteors."
• Hold one of your mini meteors a couple feet above the flour tray. When the meteor falls, what do you think it will do to the surface?
• Drop the meteor (when it hits the surface, it becomes a meteorite). What happened?
• What happens when the meteor falls faster? Try dropping it from a higher point—or carefully throwing it downward toward the flour surface.
• Now try different sized and shaped meteors. How are their craters different? How are they similar?
• What does the pattern of "dirt" around your craters look like?
Read on for observations, results and more resources.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 182970:MV80MDU5NzRfNjMyOTA2NV85MkRCNEExMA==] Ha And gays harp about intolerance. Gay/straight there are actually no tolerant people at all. Gays are just as intolerant as the people they bitch about being intolerant. The thing about gays is they want so badly to be accepted. They want everyone to accept the gay lifestyle as normal. I will be tolerant about their lifestyle but they will have better luck pissing up a pole before I will accept it as normal. Homosexuality will never be accepted. Laws may be passed that force people to tolerate it, but no amount of legislation will ever make people accept it. The thing that homos need to understand is no matter how hard you try to make homosexuality appear to be normal, it isnt man that will be your final judge. GOD will not care about the pro-gay legislation that you managed to get passed. Now you may look at me and say 'damn, you are intolerant.' Not so. Like I said I can tolerate it, but you will never get me to accept it no matter how hard you try. Now I wont try and stop you from taking cock in your ass, nor will I try and stop you from sticking your cock in another mans ass. Its your business. Please dont try and make it mine as well. You can continue to sin if you want, I have my own soul to worry about. [/quote]

The following are firsthand accounts from two Christians who passed out Gospel tracts and preached at Chicago's "Gay Pride" parade Sunday in the "Boystown" section of the city. I witnessed plenty of tolerance at the parade for all sorts of debauchery – such as one pink-haired (biologically male) transsexual who bared his (presumably female-hormone-induced) breasts as he rode block after block on atop a float (see photo above) — but little for a Biblical message against sin.
Sadly, some churches and synagogues marched in the "pride" parade, effectively blaspheming the Creator they purport to serve. The word for that is 'shame,' not 'pride.'
The first testimony below is from Americans For Truth volunteer Dan Musick, who did not street-preach but passed out several hundred tracts containing former homosexual Steve Bennett's testimony, titled, "I WAS Gay." (Tracts can be ordered through Steve's ministry at [

The second testimony is from Joe Christopherson, who met Dan while street preaching at the parade. Together, they encountered trouble after the parade had concluded and people were milling about in "Boystown." We'll have more firsthand reports on the Chicago and New York City "gay pride" parades in future posts. As you read this, imagine the liberal media's outrage — all four major local Chicago TV stations fielded floats in the parade – and that of "gay" activists had two homosexuals been assaulted and humiliated in the same manner. — Peter LaBarbera
Dan Musick's testimony:
I went to the parade armed with 500+ tracts and my camera. My prayer was for God to show me what He wanted me to do. Before the parade I passed out some tracts. At the parade I took lots of pictures and video, and passed out a few tracts. The sidewalk and area behind the barriers was packed.
After the parade there was a steady flow of crowd traffic so I started passing out the "I Was Gay" tracts. I did this for about an hour, and passed out about 300. Many ended up on the sidewalk.
I experienced every form of mockery you could imagine, but only from one or two at a time at the most. At one point two lesbians were circling me and warning others not to take my tracts. One tore up a tract and threw it at me. Another knocked the tracts out of my hand.
Overall the response was excellent. For every negative there had to be at least three positives — those who came up from behind me when I was turned a different direction to ask for a tract, and many who seemed desperate for some kind of hope as they took the tracts. I saw one or two people bend over to pick up the tracts off the sidewalk.
Several engaged me in serious conversation; there were several opportunities to lay out the gospel. Others just wanted to argue and prove I was wrong.
One man came up and asked what I was doing. I explained I was offering good news for homosexuals by the gospel of Christ and I laid out the gospel for him. I asked if he believed it. He said, "Yes," and asked if he could join me. He said it was better for him to work with someone and that another person with whom he had teamed up with did not work out.
I stopped, removed my hat and we prayed together, acknowledging that God's Word would never return void.
He proceeded to unroll a big banner and to strap it to a pole with bungee cords. It was a telescoping pole, and suddenly he lifted the banner up into the sky another 6 feet. It was huge.
He started preaching from a format I had learned called the "Way of the Master," a series with Ray Comfort. This stresses the importance of preaching Law before Grace ….
Joe's approach was loving, clear and direct — a model presentation of the Gospel, beginning with the law and the reality that we have all sinned.
The mood of the place changed suddenly. First a small crowd gathered around us. Joe continued preaching and the crowd grew in size.
Then several things started happening all at once.
First, I remember a bright lady coming up to me and started telling me that what we were doing was wrong. Gays can't help being who they are; that's the way God made them; when you call their actions sin you are condemning them. She had the air of a Pharisee — I suspect in hindsight she was a pastor from one of the churches that defends homosexuality as good.
While talking to her, several things began to occur. First, I remember the most sinister laughter, mocking and jeering I have ever heard. The crowd despised Joe's preaching. People from the crowd were yelling out at us and moving closer to us. Someone from a balcony up above us threw some kind of bottle — I think it was plastic - and hit Joe on his left shoulder. Another man came up and tried to light the banner with his cigarette lighter. While trying to do this someone sprayed beer on both of us and another man poured beer on Joe. At about this point it crossed my mind that we might just be casting our pearls before swine.
I also remembered one point when people were taking pictures of the humiliation they were trying to impose [on us]. One guy stuck up his middle finger in front of the banner and I held up the tract next to him so that would be in the picture as well.
Then one of the men got behind Joe and started to make sexual gestures like he wanted to have anal sex. Then He reached for Joe's pants to try to take them off.
At this point I abandoned my conversation with the lady to pull the man away from Joe. It was at about that time that someone knocked the tracts out of my hand. Some one else tried to take the pole and banner away from Joe, and I told him to be strong.
At this point it turned into a wrestling match for the banner. The crowd had evolved into a mob. Several hands were grasping the pole supporting the banner. Then those who did not want us there began pulling the banner and us with it into a recessed area or an alley.
At this point I called 911 … I couldn't remember where we were, just that we were just north of Belmont. Within a minute or so the police were there and shortly thereafter there were 20-40 police.
We got our banner back. I asked the police to defend our free speech rights. He said, "Let's be practical. There are 400,000 of them and only a handful of us." He said the banner was inflammatory and that the police could not control the crowd if Joe continued preaching. If he continued preaching he would have to arrest us. I think he was thinking of his duty to protect us.
I told Joe the police had a good point. I was willing to go to jail but I couldn't see what would be gained by it. It was time to shake the dust off our sandals; they had not received our message. Joe couldn't see anything to be gained, either, so we agreed to leave.
We thanked the senior officer for his help. I told him, "Sometimes God sends His angels to help us; sometimes He sends the police." He chuckled, we shook hands, and we left on good terms.
The mob clearly ruled the police at this point; our free speech rights were trampled. But that was a peripheral issue for us at this time. Joe's passion and concern, which he also expressed to the police, was that those who had mistreated him were going to hell; that was his motivation for wanting to continue preaching to a hostile mob. It was well past my time to reconnect with [other Americans For Truth volunteers] and I felt my time for evangelizing was finished. The thought of evangelizing to assert my free speech rights never occurred to me, and it is, at best, a twisted motive for evangelizing.
Joe and I walked a couple blocks until he had to go a different direction. I thanked him for letting me share in the experience we had there and I hugged him. Suffering together for the Gospel creates a bond that is not easily broken.
This is my story.
Dan Musick
Joe Christopherson's testimony
June 24 2007:
I Was Attacked By a Homosexual Mob!
I went into Chicago today, to preach the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ at the gay pride parade. After finally finding a good place to park, I made my way down the parade route. The parade was done there but there were thousands of people in the streets.
I walked down the route and met up with and joined a brother [Dan Musick] passing out gospel tracts. I unfurled a fairly new 4-by-6 foot banner I have which says, "Lied, Stolen, Lusted? Homosexual, Fornicator, Drunkard? Repent and call on the Lord Jesus to Escape Hell" (at the bottom is the website: burningheartsoutreach.com). Then I started open-air preaching.
It must have been about 10 to 20 minutes, and a violent crowd formed around us. They were cursing at me like mad dogs. And before it was all over I was basically molested – they handled me in vile ways – trying to pull my pants off (thank God I wear a belt). They tried to burn my banner, steal my banner; my banner and I were soaked with various alcoholic drinks that were hurled at me. They spit and threw something. They bent and tried to steal my banner pole.
A bunch of police showed up and rescued us from the mob. I was assaulted by the crowd but the police threatened me with arrest if I did not leave. Absolutely incredible. It was like Sodom and Gomorrah. "They loved darkness and hated the light." [John 3:19] I prayed that this sin be not laid to their charge.
Please pray that God will save these lost souls bound in perversion. Jesus is their only hope. I rejoice in the Lord that I was counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. [See Matthew 5:11-13] I only got a couple of scratches so I really didn't suffer that much at all. Thank You Jesus for your divine protection. And this weekend [I will be preaching at] the "Taste of Chicago." Thousands to preach to and a much, much less violent crowd; please pray for me and for souls to be won to Christ. Thank you.
In the harvest,
Joe Christopherson

Zucchini Muffins
Can you stand one more breakfast-ish post? These muffins are worth it, I promise. I'll pull myself out of the breakfast bread lane with the next post, for sure.
Don't be put off by the zucchini in the muffins, they don't taste at all vegetable-y. Quelle Horreur! My kids, the proudest picky picksters in town, love these muffins. I keep them around for after-school snacks, lunch box treats, and most importantly...my breakfast. :)
It took me many years to find a recipe for zucchini bread/muffins that I really like. Lots of the recipes that I ran across called for crushed pineapple. That's tasty and all, but in terms of texture...much too funky for my kids. These little muffins come together so quickly and easily.
Make some today!
Zucchini Muffins
by Brandy's Baking
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients (18-22 muffins)
- 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease standard size muffin tins.
Press shredded zucchini between 2 layers of paper towels to soak up excess moisture.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, oil, milk, vanilla and eggs. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in shredded zucchini.
Fill muffin cups with batter and bake for about 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when lightly touched or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Mother makes EU legal history following brutal attack on son (From Sutton Guardian)

Wallington Mother Maggie Hughes has law passed in European Parliament to protect tourists
3:21pm Thursday 13th September 2012 in News By James Pepper, Reporter
A mother who saw her son recover from life threatening injuries after being attacked on holiday has won her fight to have EU laws changed to better protect victims of crime abroad.
Maggie Hughes took her fight for justice to the European Union after struggling to get the help she needed when her son Robbie was beaten to within an inch of his life.
Robbie Hughes, a former Sutton United and Croydon Athletic footballer, needed four life-saving operations after he left in a coma by the attack in Malia, Crete, in June 2008.
After the attack, Mrs Hughes, from Wallington, was faced with a wall of silence over the attack, due to translator problems, and the lack of provisions for tourists who are victims of serious crime abroad.
But she never gave up, and presented her Victims of Crime Abroad campaign to Greek ambassador Arsteidis Sandis.
The campaign gathered momentum, and now, four long years after the attack, Mrs Hughes has seen members of the European Parliament approve her bill in Strasbourg.
EU politicians this week backed the law which will see the victims of crime abroad get more help with language and local law when faced with a terrifying situation like the Hughes' faced.
She said: "It's fantastic news. This definitely opens up the way for all victims to feel safer when they go abroad."
But the changes in the law will come too late for her and her son Robbie, who still face a lack of support at the upcoming trial of those accused of the attack.
Six British men, Curtis Taylor, 22, Daniel Bell, 23, Sean Branton, 22, all from Horley, Benjamin Herdman, 22, from Worth and George Hollands, 24, from Reigate in Surrey, and Joseph Bruckland, 22, from Hookwood, face trial in Greece in November 20.
They deny the allegations.

The Federal Open Market Committee will continue quantitative easing through monthly bond purchases at least until the Federal Reserve sees sufficient recovery in the housing and job markets, according to FOMC meeting minutes, HousingWire reported Feb. 20.
The announcement means that the Fed would maintain its practice of buying agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month and longer-term Treasury securities at a rate of $45 billion per month.
However, some FOMC members said that the Fed should be prepared to vary the pace of purchases based on economic conditions because they fear a large portfolio of long-term assets could expose the regulatory agency to major capital losses in the future, HousingWire reported.
Other members argued that a reduction or a too-early end to bond purchases could damage economic recovery. Some said that the Fed should be prepared to hold securities longer than originally anticipated by the committee's exit principles as a replacement for future asset purchases.
Overall, the FOMC agreed to a flexible and accommodative stance based on market conditions, HousingWire reported.

About Vantage
The Aston Martin Vantage marque is one which has been applied to a number of models throughout the history of this manufacturer and it has come to be associated with range-topping performance in many instances.
However, during the early 1970s there was in fact an Aston Martin launched which was referred to only as the Vantage, with no other subtitled or prefix included to indicate its associations with an existing range.
This model is worth discussing briefly if only because it represents a unique point in the history of the Vantage moniker.
Aston Martin introduced this model in 1972 and ended up building just 71 examples over the next 12 months.
The Vantage was effectively a modified version of the DBS, but while at this time you would find V8 engines in these models, the Vantage was instead endowed with a straight six.
Other noteworthy features include its wire wheels, which would never appear on a new Aston Martin after its production run ended and its unusual headlight arrangement.
While this model was available during the 1970s, the Vantage tag actually began life back in 1951 when the DB2 Vantage was launched.
This was essentially a DB2 with an upgraded, tuned engine which could output 125bhp and the use of the Vantage tag came about because the Aston Martin designers simply wanted to find a suitable word for higher power models and used a thesaurus to help them out.
Throughout the 1950s and 60s there were various Vantage iterations of the DB4, 5 and 6, before the initially discussed model emerged.
In 1977 the V8 Vantage entered the fray and this would prove to be one of the more enduring models, lasting in its various guises until 1990.
The Aston Martin Virage arrived at the start of this decade and would also get its own V8 Vantage model from 1992.
The most recent iteration of the Aston Martin Vantage was launched in 2009, this time with a V12 engine, giving it some of the most impressive performance stats to ever have graced this venerable range. The Vantage marque remains an indicator of superiority to this day.
