Skip to comments.A New Mexico Lawmaker Wants To Criminalize Post-Rape Abortions
Posted on 01/24/2013 9:00:20 AM PST by Responsibility2nd
A Republican legislator in New Mexico is seeking to force pregnant rape victims to carry the pregnancy to term, claiming the fetus could be used as "evidence" at trial.
Rep. Cathrynn Brown's bill would charge a rape victim who sought an abortion with a third-degree felony for "tampering with evidence," The Huffington Post reported Wednesday.
"Tampering with evidence consists of destroying, changing, hiding, placing or fabricating any physical evidence with intent to prevent the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of any person or to throw suspicion of the commission of a crime upon another," House Bill 206 reads.
"The bill turns victims of rape and incest into felons and forces them to become incubators of evidence for the state, ProgressNow New Mexico member Pat Davis told HuffPost. According to Republican philosophy, victims who are legitimately raped will now have to carry the fetus to term in order to prove their case.

Another stupid Republican. The dead baby and placenta can be genetically tested in the event of an abortion - this is common practice.
I am pro-life, but if I were a legislator I would vote for an anti-abortion law with rape exceptions, gaining what protection I could for the unborn.
You won't be able to convince people that abortion even in the case of rape is wrong unless you have FIRST convinced them that abortion is wrong and should be illegal in the ordinary case.
A character deficiency on my part, no doubt. It's a situation in which there are no good choices.
What a stupid headline, there is no possibility of a pre-rape abortion.
Would a rape victim wait months to have a d and c?
I loathe abortions. But if some piece of slime attacked my wife or daughter I would recommend an immediate scraping to clean whatever filth could possibly have contaminated her health.
Huffington Post seems to be throwing a hissyfit at the light being shed on Planned Parenthood's PRO-RAPE policy of destroying the evidence AND NOT REPORTING IT TO THE POLICE when a minor is raped, sexually assaulted, enters into a relationship with an adult, etc.
Planned Parenthood has repeatedly been caught on tape ENCOURAGING young girls to LIE in their paperwork so the abortion can proceed with no criminal investigation PERMITTING THE RAPIST TO CONTINUE HIS CRIMES.
I'm not standing here to say that rape victims should be forced to bear a child (although it is no sin of the child or mother that caused the pregnancy). But I will say that the HuffPost Hysterics are misdirected because they shield PRO-RAPE abortionists. Rape is good for their business and they know it.
How about the phrase in the article..... legitimately raped?
I guess its possible to be illegitimately raped?
Ahhh, semantics.
In fairness to Rep. Brown, her bill says "with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime" so unless the pregnant woman herself intended to destroy evidence, the bill doesn't apply to her - it is likely intended to apply to a sexual abuser who takes his victim for an abortion, or anyone else collaborating with the effort to hide the rape, statutory or otherwise.
MSM: this guy = all republicans
One effective tactic when arguing with a pro-abort is to "accept" all their exceptions that they bring up, leaving them arguing for abortion at all times during pregnancy for the sake of convenience.
They won't want to be in that position, but that's all you should leave them, to show them the folly of their position.
This tactic is misplaced. You don't outlaw abortions because the fetus is evidence of a crime, you outlaw abortions because killing children is murder.
This law would only protect unborn children because they are a useful tool to prosecute rape. Normally conceived children would be assumed to have no value.
If you are truly as conflicted as you say, perhaps you should leave it up to the woman?
When the prescription is too cute by half and easily opens up to ridicule the side supposedly being helped, one has to wonder if we are dealing with a counter-agent.
I don't believe it
This bill has no chance of passing.
But perhaps the real intent is to compromise and force the abortionists to secure DNA samples of the little baby before/during/after the murder so as to have proof of paternity in rape cases.
Whatever extra steps can be made to force abortionists to recognize that this is human life they are destroying is a good thing.
Absolutely stupid and probably won't hold up in court. This is why Republicans look like such jerks.
Do you think that the MSM will forget to mention that the
proposed legislation was proposed by a woman?
This has to be a democrat mole posing as a Republican to cause more damage. Nobody can be stupid enough to force a rape victim to carry a rapists child.
Even senators akin and mourdock understand such a ignorant law would destroy the GOP.
The problem is that abortion mills are basically uncontrolled. If you want to deal with the abortion issue, you don't go after the woman, you go after the doctor providing the service. Make it criminal for them with stiff penalties.
This clears up alot of the rape and incest issue. Doctors must encourage raped women to seek adoption or keep their baby. They can abort and won't be penalized if they do, but they must seek out other options first before making that decision.
Years ago I read about a socialite who had an abortion at five months and divorced her husband because he wouldn't spring for a $3000 maternity party dress.
Now a pro-abort would say there were long standing marital problems that came to a head and she decided it would be too difficult to raise a child alone and keep a necessary forced connection with the child's father.
No. Besides, leftists already "know" that all republicans think this way anyway, so what real harm is this state rep doing? If she can use this position and bargain down some way to force abortion clinics to really provide DNA samples before/during/after the killing of a child, and this results in fewer abortions then its all good.
How liberals think of Republicans:
The real feminist/"progressive" complaint is that Brown is going after those who seek and get abortions instead of others who are currently blamed for all of society's problems.
Probably - doesn't fit the "old fat whiteman republican" meme.
Who is advising Rep. Cathrynn Brown? Clod Akin? Or Dick Mourdock?
The problem is that abortion mills are basically uncontrolled...
Exactly. And that is why I keep thinking this bill - which has no chance of passing - MIGHT lead to a less restrictive measure that requires the killing fields (abortionaries) to tighten up and therefore reduce the mass murders that occur daily.
And that is a good thing.
Her husband is very much better off without her.
The New Mexico Republican should have waited until November 1, 2016 to introduce this bill.
"Now a pro-abort would say there were long standing marital problems that came to a head..."
I think pretty much anybody would say that about that marriage.
The woman was foolish though. She should have kept the baby, still dumped the husband, and hired a really good lawyer.
Are some of these guys Democratic plants?
I oppose abortion and would strongly urge each woman to search her soul deeply before undergoing this procedure. I would do everything possible to convince someone not to have one. But beyond that Roe vs Wade is now the Law of the Land and until we sucessfully convince people otherwise, that is all can do, and even if we do eventually succeed, I would an idiotic inititive like this one would never be implemented.
Rape is rape.
We have two less seats in the Senate because of two morons like this individual.
"No. Besides, leftists already "know" that all republicans think this way anyway, so what real harm is this state rep doing?"
The harm this idiot is doing is -confirming and proving- that everything they are screaming about republicans is 100% accurate. Republicans and their wacky rape theories are the biggest reason why we have Obama again.
And if some pack of urban youths raped my daughter, and she was lucky enough not to be murdered in the process id be feeding her plan-B and RU-486 like they were m&m's. If that makes me bad, then so be it. But i know im not alone.
" perhaps you should leave it up to the woman?"
I yield second place to no one in opposition to abortion. Yet, I will not presume to dictate to a rape victim her course of action as regards the baby she is carrying, only to urge her to let it live, deliver it and give it up for adoption, or raise it herself as is done by a rather substantial percentage of rape victims.
Ridiculous Asshat.
I am not for abortion but, on this issue I can see it happening and I don't know, somehow it being equivocally right.
I am right there with you.
conflicted and I too believe it is a character flaw of mine and God will deal with me but, today I can't fix it.
You're not the first on this thread to imply that if your daughter was raped, you'd have her go through with an abortion.
But I wonder where all the libertarians are? The ones that screech; "See?? This is why we republicans should avoid the social issues and this is why we should take abortion off the table as we also ignore gay marriages!"
I bet that well over 90% of Republicans agree with you. This is one issue where the fringe is just killing us election after election. Forcing women to be incubators for rapists is a nonstarter.
This legislator is an idiot...a 'Useful Idiot'. I have a better suggestion...make 'random, serial'rape a capital offense. Abort the evil ones from this life.
Sperm is evil.
Another stupid Republican steps in it.
Because if there is no supply, demand is irrelevant. Putting young girls in prison, especially for rape abortions, well never fly. The licensed and regulated doctor who must meet standards, they should no better. Make it too much to lose and you will end the abortion problem.
No. Only possibly STD infected sperm deposited by force is.
My son in law turned out to be a real piece of work. I can't stand my filthy disgusting grandkids. I wish they were dead. /s
I have never seen an incubator that produces rapists.

Make that "incubators for the offspring of rapists."
Your SIL was a rapist stranger?
Sounds like you put 2 and 2 together and got RU486?
I'm talking about immediate action after a horrible assault and nothing more. Not the end of the first trimester nor the middle. But the NEXT DAY.
No, he wasn't a rapist. He was some other type of bad thing that makes me want to kill his offspring.
What age is the dividing line between too late to kill and early enough to kill?
None of them can dress themselves yet so I may still have time.

Is social justice the same as socialism?
Lately there have been accusations that a church with a social justice mission is one that supports socialism.
Conservative TV personality Glenn Beck told Christians, "I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church website. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. . . . If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Feb. 24, 2009) - USA Volleyball conducted its three-day U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryout Feb. 20-22 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The tryout attracted a record 160 athletes seeking spots on the U.S. Women's National Team, the U.S. Women's Junior National Team or the USA Women's Senior A2 Team.
"I was very impressed with the talent and depth of the players who participated in the tryout this past weekend," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "The athletes worked very hard to be evaluated by our tryout coaching staff, who put in many hours over the weekend to make for a successful tryout. Overall, this was a very positive experience for our program."
The 2009 U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryout roster included 39 outside hitters, 39 middle blockers, 37 liberos, 28 setters and 17 opposites. A total of 64 different colleges were represented on the roster, including four non-NCAA Division I institutions. A total of 33 athletes were competing for roster spots for U.S. Women's Junior National Team inclusion, as well as the U.S. Women's National Team and its A2 program.
"USA women's volleyball has such depth and talent, it is wonderful to see this many outstanding young athletes attending this National Team tryout," McCutcheon said. "I believe playing for the National Team is the highest achievement possible for our indoor players. In that regard, our goal is to create the best environment for these players to train and compete at the international level."
McCutcheon is optimistic that he can announce U.S. Women's National Training Team members sometime in March and begin training in April. Veteran players competing in overseas professional leagues will begin to return to training in the United States in May.
Coming off a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, the U.S. Women's National Team is scheduled to host the 12-team Women's Pan American Cup held June 26-July 4 in Miami, along with the FIVB World Championship Qualification Tournament Third Round at a site and date to be announced. Other tournaments on the schedule include the FIVB World Grand Prix beginning July 31 and running through Aug. 23 in four different countries, the Women's Final Four held Sept. 7-13 in Brazil, the NORCECA Continental Championship held Sept. 20-28 in Puerto Rico and the FIVB Grand Champions Cup held Nov. 10-15 in Japan.
Athletes in college with collegiate eligibility remaining for the 2009 season and not selected to the USA Women's National Team may be invited to participate on the USA Senior A2 Teams. This program is scheduled to take place in Minneapolis from May 18 through May 27. A projected 24 athletes will be invited to participate in the program, which will include training and competition in the 2009 USA Adult Open Championships in the Open Division from May 23-26.
A total of 19 individuals born in 1990 or 1991 will be selected to train for the U.S. Women's Junior National Team and will be announced at the end of April or first part of May. The USA Volleyball High Performance Department is currently holding tryouts through April 23 for pre-college age individuals for spots on the U.S. Women's Junior National Team, U.S. Girls' Youth National Team and other High Performance programs and camps.
The U.S. Women's Junior National Team will compete with a 12-player roster, pared from the 19-player training roster, at the 2009 FIVB Women's Junior World Championship to be held July 16-25 in Mexico.
The previous record for a U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryout was 115 athletes, which occurred in February of 2008 at the U.S Olympic Training Center.Photo galleries for the four evaluation sessions can be found below:

El Castillo, Chichén Itzá
Photograph by Luis Marden, National Geographic
In 1936, a visitor scales the northern stairway of the pyramid known as El Castillo at Chichén Itzá in southern Mexico. Built to awe, the 79-foot-tall pyramid has become the towering icon of Chichén Itzá, one of the largest and most powerful of all Maya cities.
Sacred Cenote, Chichén Itzá
Photograph by Luis Marden
Spanish records tell how live victims were thrown into the sacred cenote at Chichén Itzá (photographed here in 1936) on the premise that, as sacrifices to the Maya gods, they would not die—even though they were never seen again.
Ball Court, Chichén Itzá

Legendary National Geographic photographer Luis Marden—on his first foreign assignment—shoots the great ball court at Chichén Itzá in 1936. More than a sport, Maya ball games were spectacles that drew thousands to ceremonial centers.

An aerial photo from a 1950s expedition to the Maya site of Dzibilchaltún shows the Temple of the Seven Dolls, so named for seven small clay figurines found beneath the floor, and a limestone causeway wide enough for four lanes of auto traffic. The site is in the Mexican state of Yucatán.

Between 1938 and 1946 archaeologist Matthew W. Stirling (pictured) led eight expeditions to southern Mexico to study Olmec and Maya sites. In 1940 near Veracruz, he and his wife, Marion, excavated La Venta, a thousand-year-old Olmec ruin memorable for its massive and mysterious carved basalt heads.
Colossal Head, Tres Zapotes

Stirling uncovered this colossal Olmec head at Tres Zapotes in Veracruz, Mexico, in 1939. The head is made from gray basalt and measures just under five feet tall.

Tried BTB's crust for my first trip down the Chi road. Crust was made in the food processor in the morning, local sausage that I seasoned and precooked.Final assessment: the sausage was way too lean, I over baked the pie a bit, crust was very crispy. No problems getting the dough to stretch or stay on the sides of the pan. Needed more tomatoes, the pie was dry. Liked the butter taste in the crust even tho it was over cooked.Where's the fun if you can't learn from experience? Thanks for the crust BTB!
Thanks for the feedback. Next time I won't drain the tomatoes as long either. The sausage flavor was good because I added fennel seeds and Penzey's Italian sausage seasoning. So is that why I've had Rocky Rococo pizza with medium rare sausage?
Perhaps the high semolina ratio you are using is preventing the texture difference. I'm only using 4%. What bake temp are you currently using?
My family couldn't wait to dig into this delicious, tasty looking deep dish pizza. Its been a while and mouths were watering. I extracted the pizza out of the pan using both my small metal frosting spatula and the bigger pancake spatula. Once on the cutting board, it was time to cut the pizza and get the plates ready, which is the rewarding part. This pizza tasted soooooo good and didn't last that long unfortunately as it was consumed in just a short time. I was pleasantly surprised on how good it came out and that even the center of the pie was somewhat crispy, but not as much as that on the outer edge, of course. We will definitely be doing more of this in the near future. --BTB
Just for an additional two cents, I have the Chicago Metallic Bakalon pans mentioned by dbgtr. I do not wash them after use, only wipe out the crumbs. They are starting to get a _really_ nice seasoning...FWIW, not all Chicago Metallic pans are made alike. The kind you find at Bed Bath and Beyond with "Chicago Metallic" stamped in the bottom are actually manufactured by a 3rd party and are different than the "Bakalon" pans. I have one of each and recommend the latter, but not the former.-Clive
Thanks! I placed the pan on the bottom rack for the entire 25 minutes, turning 180 degrees half-way through cooking. I do not have a stone however, I need to make that investment. And I suppose the bottom crust wasn't bad necessarily, just not flakey / crispy.

Last week, four of our TravelSafe team members attended the Home Based Travel Agent Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada. The forum, described as a "unique vehicle designed to help you drive your home-based travel business", featured seasoned experts who shared tips for home based travel agents.
- Make a video. According to sources at the Forum, 90% of all internet traffic will be video by 2014. What does that mean for you? It means you can't afford to not be on YouTube! Don't be afraid to make a video – simply use your smartphone to record a video. You can speak about a popular travel destination, provide packing tips or promote a travel package you offer. Whichever topic you chose, make sure to look straight at the camera and speak directly to your customers. If you follow these tips, you'll be a YouTube sensation in no time!
- Focus on your LinkedIn account. Use your LinkedIn account to it's full potential by joining various travel niche groups. For example, if you specialize in destination weddings, join groups for brides, island resorts and wedding planning. After joining these groups, create connections by starting conversations with other members online. Think of LinkedIn like a networking event – you wouldn't attend an event and stand in the corner without business cards. The same thing goes for LinkedIn – update your profile and get social on the platform. You'll see great results!
- Start a blog. Creating a business blog allows you to share dynamic and interactive content. You can become an important "influencer" in your travel niche by blogging about travel tips, travel package deals, the importance of travel insurance or any topic of your choice. Whichever topic you chose, it is important to include calls to action in your blog posts. You can do this by asking your readers to comment or share your post. Blogging regularly (2-3 times per week) will position you as someone who people trust in the travel industry and therefore lead to profits!
- Spice up your Facebook page. It is very important that your business' Facebook page has curb appeal. You can make that happen by uploading a cover photo to ensure your page makes people want to travel. Also make sure to add interesting content on your page including destination photos, links to your blog posts and questions asking your followers about their travel habits.
Now it's your turn to tell us – how do you connect with your customers online? Leave a comment below, write on our Facebook page or Tweet us. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hearing-impaired teens push state bill to aid understanding
They want lawmakers to pass a law requiring interpreters of sign language to be licensed.
By JEFFERY S. SOLOCHEK
Published March 20, 2007
LAND O'LAKES - For 18 students at Land O'Lakes High School, it matters who talks to them, and for them.
They're deaf or hard of hearing, and they depend upon the skills of their interpreters to communicate with the hearing world. Things don't always work out.
"My dad has had to go with me to the doctor and try to interpret, and that's not appropriate," junior Chris Lennon, 16, said.
Added 15-year-old sophomore Jessica Marrero: "In school, sometimes substitutes interpreters come into the school and sometimes I get the wrong information. I don't know if there's homework for the next day or a test on the next day. ... I need an interpreter who is skilled enough to meet my language."
They want Florida to require sign language interpreters to be licensed, as provided in House Bill 991 and Senate Bill 926. And they're heading to Tallahassee today to make their case.
"We're going to suggest that the Legislature pass the law," said sophomore Amber Harris, 17. "That way there won't be a lot of misunderstandings when interpreters are working with deaf people."
School districts hire interpreters to translate for deaf and hard of hearing students. But as it is now, there is no licensing program to ensure the interpreters have extensive training and experience.
The Land O'Lakes students will attend a rally Wednesday on the Capitol steps, and then visit area lawmakers to talk about issues important to the deaf and hard of hearing. It will be the first field trip for some of the students in four years.
Lisa Schaefermeyer, the school's lead interpreter, said she thought the students would benefit academically from the trip. At the same time, she said, it could help the cause if lawmakers hear directly from the students.
"We thought it would be a great idea for the people to, rather than see numbers on a report, see the people who it affects," said Schaefermeyer, who is also president of the Florida Registry for Interpreters for the Deaf.
She held out hope that the bills, which didn't get to the House or Senate floor last year, will make it to the governor's desk this year. Florida has 2.5-million residents who are deaf or hard of hearing, Schaefermeyer said, and they deserve proper services.
"We fight so hard to get services," she said. "This is just so needed."
Schaefermeyer also hopes a licensing program would encourage more people to become trained, increasing the pool of interpreters in the long run.
Virginia Nin, another school interpreter, said she and others encouraged the students to go.
"I think they need to be motivated to self-advocate," Nin said. "It is part of our role to make sure they become independent and stand up for their rights."
Some of the students didn't need to be told twice. It can be hard enough to talk with hearing classmates, they said, much less deal with some "attitude" in places like fast food restaurants, where they can't even order drive-through.
"We need certified interpreters," said Marrero, who has several deaf family members. "It's our life."
"And it's our right," Harris added.

Madame Madeline False Lashes Haul
A while ago I received a huge shipment from Madame Madeline. I was running low on my fav lashes, so I put a bulk order into Madame Madeline. The more you order from the side, the less the price of the lash. This is awesome because it reduces the expenses for when you do makeup for others. I ordered 75 pairs and each pair was under $2...you know that ardell is usually at least $3.50 to $5 individually.
As many of you know, I'm a Falsies fiend! In all of my tutorials I'm always wearing them, and I apply them to just about all my clients. They make such a difference! I have lashes ranging from very natural to very dramatic. I've tried out plenty of brands from low to high end. These include ELF, Shisem, Andrea, Elise, MAC, Sephora, Ardell, Asian Brands and more.
I'd have to say my favorites are the Ardell lashes. They're high quality and for a very affordable price. It's hard for me to justify buying super expensive lashes when I have a cheaper alternative. Ardells are lightweight and the hair is very natural looking and feeling unlike some other brands. A huge lash requirement for me is that it has a defined curve to the spine of the lash. This makes it so much easier to apply lashes without them flipping up at the ends...it also makes them last longer.
Check out my video where I show you my haul and my favs.
Here are some snapshots of the lashes I hauled from the site. My personal favs are the 120 demies, Wispies, and Demi Wispies.
Here are some coupon codes for you to try!
5lashes (for 5% off)
MYSPACE (for 8% off)
FREEBIE (for a free pair of lashes)
I'm planning on ordering a haul of Red Cherry Lashes soon, stay tuned!

Hey girl! There are some awesome MAC dupes in there but the natural lash collection is great.

The whispie ones are gorge but once you get to the dramatic lashes, they get a bit drag-like.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DRM
It may seem odd to say so during Copyright Week, but copyright in itself isn't very important. Sure, EFF expends a lot of time and energy arguing about copyright law, and some of our adversaries spend even more. But we don't do so because copyright has any independent value. Rather, its value is derived from its ability to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts" (in the words of the US Constitution), as well as to promote other important values such as the rights to freedom of expression, privacy, education, and participation in cultural life.
We're taking part in Copyright Week, a series of actions and discussions supporting key principles that should guide copyright policy. Every day this week, various groups are taking on different elements of the law, and addressing what's at stake, and what we need to do to make sure that copyright promotes creativity and innovation.
From phones to cars to refrigerators to farm equipment, software is helping our stuff work better and smarter. But those features come at a high hidden cost: the rapid erosion of ownership. Why does that matter? Because when it comes to digital products, owners have rights. Renters on the other hand, have only permission.
Normally when you buy a product that has a hidden defect, consumer protection law in your state or country comes to the rescue. For example, if you purchase a product—say, a book—it comes with an implicit promise that it will be fit for the ordinary purposes that books are used for, such as allowing you to read it, quote from it, lend it to others, summarize it on your blog, and donate or recycle it when you're done.
If the book can't be used in these common-sense ways, and you weren't warned about that before handing over your money, consumer protection laws will generally give you the right to a remedy such as a refund of what you paid.
Today we launched a new app that will make it easier for people to take action on digital rights issues using their phone. The app allows folks to connect to our action center quickly and easily, using a variety of mobile devices.
Sadly, though, we had to leave out Apple devices and the folks who use them. Why? Because we could not agree to the outrageous terms in Apple's Developer Agreement and Apple's DRM requirements.
Telling users how to strip the DRM from their legally purchased ebooks is not contributory copyright infringement, according to a ruling last month by a federal judge in New York. Judge Denise Cote dismissed two publishers' claims of contributory infringement and inducement in Abbey House Media v. Apple Inc., one of the many cases to come out of the antitrust litigation against Apple and a handful of major publishers.

On the quest to brew the perfect cup of tea we've all purchased a lot of teaware. Some were cute or had a cool description but later you find out it really isn't all that great. That's what I mean by paying teaware tuition.
I was looking through an old box of teaware and found countless amount of teaware that will never get used again. Most were because they were poorly made and(or) was made from poor quality material. Others were too large for gong fu and just simply not practical. So to start off this thread here's pics of a couple of mine. I'll post more soon. Don't be shy let's see what teaware you may have purchased because it may have looked cool or sounded like the perfect teaware. Also state the reason why it's not used often, if at all.
It looked cool even had it's only little tea tray but it was poorly made. The pot is about 200ml and the cups hold about 30ml which I could've overlooked that but the clay was poor quality as well. I guess you get what you pay for.
Yes that's by Jay and before anyone flames me I am a fan too but this piece has it's flaws. Though it looks gorgeous, it leaks pretty bad. I just use it as a display piece now.

Issue Brief #3809 on Africa
December 21, 2012
December 21, 2012 | Issue Brief on Africa
Yesterday, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously passed a resolution authorizing the deployment of an African-led military force to rebuild Mali's military and support the recovery of northern Mali, currently controlled by terrorist and extremist entities.
Permitting the use of force against Mali's occupiers will result in an unnecessary delay in the restoration of government. The United States should be cautious regarding its commitment to any military operation and withhold contributions to the mission before the reinstitution of civilian government is guaranteed.
Descent into Chaos
Last March, former Malian President Amadou Toumani Touré was overthrown in a military coup by a led by a junior army officer, Captain Amadou Sango. In the preceding months, Mali's army had suffered significant losses at the hands of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), a separatist group based in the northern part of the country that benefited from fighters and weapons returning from the fallen Muammar Qadhafi regime in Libya. Frustration with the lack of support from Bamako was a key motivation behind the coup.
Following Touré's resignation and the army's retreat, northern Mali—an area the size of Texas—became a gaping security vacuum. By April, the secular MNLA aligned itself with the Islamist militant group Ansar Dine ("Defenders of the Faith") and declared their captured territory, "Azawad," to be an independent state.
This alliance quickly fractured as the two groups were unable to reconcile their ideological, political, and religious differences. Ansar Dine sidelined the MNLA and is currently operating alongside al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and its offshoot, the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa. Other groups, such as Boko Haram in Nigeria, are reportedly operating in the region as well.
Together, these groups have enforced Sharia law across northern Mali. Brutal punishments—including public floggings, amputations, and stonings—have taken place. In July, some of the Sahel's most prized cultural sites in Timbuktu were ransacked because of their adherence to Sufi tradition.
Cue the United Nations
Immediately after the coup, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) proposed military action to prevent northern Mali from becoming a safe haven for terrorism. In October, the UNSC approved a resolution providing military and security planners to assist ECOWAS and the African Union (AU) in drafting a plan for military intervention in coordination with Mali's transitional government. The resolution requested that the plans be submitted to the Security Council for consideration in 45 days.[1]
In November, ECOWAS and the AU proposed an African-led international military support mission in Mali. However, according to a report by the U.N. Secretary General, the plan failed to answer "fundamental questions on how the force would be led, sustained, trained, equipped and financed."[2] Despite these misgivings, the UNSC unanimously approved Resolution 2085 on December 20 authorizing military action to liberate northern Mali from al-Qaeda-linked terrorists.
The resolution outlines a two-track approach focusing on a political process and a security process. Training for the Malian army by the European Union and other U.N. members prior to troop deployment—expected in September or October of next year—is also emphasized.[3]
The resolution calls upon the international community to provide funding and support for the African-led International Support Mission in Mali, possibly facilitated by a new U.N.-managed trust fund. The U.N. has also suggested that it may provide a logistics support package to assist in the mission.
Bad Decision After Next
Mali's interim government is fractured, and national reconciliation is far from being achieved. According to the U.N. Secretary General's report, "Internal divisions constitute the single greatest obstacle to progress."[4] Less than two weeks ago, for example, Mali's interim Prime Minister Cheick Modibo Diarra was arrested by troops loyal to Captain Sanogo and forced to resign.[5]
France, Mali's former colonial ruler, has been a strong supporter of taking swift military action in Mali before the political process had been settled. The U.S. had opposed such action, maintaining that military action could be pursued once democratic governance is restored. Similarly, the ECOWAS and AU report warned that the continued absence of a united, civilian-led government and the interference of the military have "severely constrained" the creation "of a common strategic vision for the country," undermining the long-term viability of military progress.
The authorization of Resolution 2085 fails to sufficiently heed these concerns. Indeed, approval in the wake of Diarra's forced resignation could be construed as rewarding the Malian army for bad behavior. The UNSC's authorization of military force provides little incentive for the restoration of a civilian-led government. Rather, it lends the army the momentum to plan for military action and treat the reinstitution of democratic governance as secondary.
Considering that the UNSC has so far bypassed the institution of a united government despite the Secretary General's report urging military force as a "last resort," there is little reason to believe that one will be established under the new framework. By voting in favor of Resolution 2085, the Obama Administration has committed itself to supporting a military operation in which the restoration of Mali's governance is not guaranteed.
Moving Forward
The U.S. has significant leverage at its disposal. Currently, Malian troops lack the most basic of resources, including ammunition with which to train, and their lack of professionalism and disregard for human rights is well-known. Without U.S. support, it is unlikely that sufficient resources will be forthcoming.
With that in mind, the Obama Administration should take the following steps to ensure that democratic governance is treated as a non-negotiable precondition to military force in northern Mali:
Ballots, Not Bullets
The U.S. should not let the urgency of a military intervention derail efforts to re-establish governance in Mali. A Malian government led by an undisciplined military dismissive of democratic governance would draw the country closer to the brink of failed statehood. For a country that was once considered a promising model for democracy, the future of Mali's stability will depend on ballots, not bullets.

Sperm Donors are to be offered free tickets to any major European festival in return for making a donation.
The new initiative has been launched after fertility clinics in Ireland admitted that they were in a state of crisis.
In the last four years, Sperm donations have fallen by nearly 40% in the country and supply is failing to meet demand.
In order to attract a wider market, Sperm For Tickets has launched a scheme where donations can be made via specially developed donation containers and sent by courier.
The new service is open to any European citizen who can request information via their website.

PD 2009-05 Guideline 3 - Declaring Majors
- Principles
- G1-Applying for Graduation
- G2-Restricting Enrollment Options
- G3-Declaring Majors
- G4ÐChanging Majors
- G5ÐFailure to Make Academic Progress
- G6ÐGraduate Students
- G7ÐAppeals of Decisions
- Appendix A - Classification and Prioritization of Students
- Appendix B - Summary of Super Seniors from Spring 2010
Presidential Directive:In order to facilitate graduation, it is important for students to declare a major and make changes in a timely fashion. Effective for the next application period (i.e., Fall 2010), transfer applicants must declare a major in the application for admission. Freshmen applicants may apply and be admitted as undeclared. By the end of Fall 2009, all students who have earned 60 units must declare a major, and thereafter all students must declare a major by the time they have earned 60 units. If the declared major is impacted, the student must meet criteria similar to those required of newly admitted students in the same major.
3.1 Beginning Fall 2009, all undergraduate students who have earned 60 units must be accepted into a major or their enrollment will be blocked for following terms until they are accepted into a major. Newly admitted transfer students and students returning from disqualification who are "admitted undeclared" must apply for and be accepted into a major before completing 30 new or additional units at SJSU.
3.2 Students who have been disqualified from a major and assigned to undeclared generally must be reinstated to the original major or apply to a new major by the end of the semester following the disqualification. High unit seniors who remain assigned undeclared as a result of disqualification from a major will face increasing limitations of their enrollment the longer they remain undeclared (see Section 1.0).
3.3 A student wishing to declare an impacted major must submit to the appropriate department an application to change a major no later than November 1 or April 1 (unless the department sets a different deadline), to be considered for the following semester. Students applying to an impacted major must meet the eligibility criteria set by the department for admission to the impacted major. Departments will decide admissions into impacted majors.
3.4 Students who apply to an impacted major but are not admitted should find an alternative major in the semester subsequent to being denied admission. Students who apply a second time to an impacted major will face the enrollment restrictions for high unit seniors if their second application is unsuccessful.
3.5 Adding a second major: See Section 4.1.

Winter Select League 2012-13:
Every player effected by Little League try-outs on Opening Day (1/7/12), will need to individually negotiate an earlier, or later try-out time, or plan to miss a portion of the first game. This is a challenge that cannot be avoided, our schedules involve too many teams on the Peninsula for changes to be considered. Thank you for understanding.Opening Day:
Please do your best to arrange for your AYSO scheduled WL game. We appreciate your flexibility on our Opening Day, 1/8/2013.
The teams have been formed as of this weekend and rosters are likely final (unless there is a drop due to injury). Thank you for being so patient.
We hope the AYSO Area level will provide more opportunity next year so San Mateo can have more talented and dedicated players participate in Winter League next year.
As AYSO is an all volunteer organization so please continue to do your part next year so that more kids can play in a safe and fun environment: be a coach, volunteer for the board, be a referee or team parent.
Thanks to all and see you on the pitch.
-David Edel
Winter League Coordinator
Winter Select is a competition among AYSO Area 2N Regions. Participating Regions typically include Hillsborough, San Mateo, Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, Redwood City, San Carlos and Half Moon Bay. Winter League is an opportunity for your player(s) to be invited, as a result of their recent Fall season rating(s), to participate on a travelling team. Coaches are nominated by their Division Coordinators, and players are invited according to their prior Fall season rating (based on skills, attitude, teamwork and sportsmanship). Teams are balanced within our Region, approved by our Board, and then confirmed by the Area Director.
This is an honor for the coaches and a privilege for the players, as they will learn, play, and develop further with their equally talented peers, in a highly competitive environment. San Mateo will commit two teams in U10 Boys, U10 Girls, and one team each in the U12 Boys, U12 Girls, U14 Boys and U14 Girls divisions. There is no winter league for U6, U8 or U16/19.
The registration fee will be similar to the Fall season, no scholarships are available. The season kicks-off with team training beginning mid December, and continuing through Winter. Games are played Saturdays, on turf fields from 1/8/13 thru 3/02/12 throughout the Peninsula. We have reserved the Burlingame High School turf (back field), for Sunday training sessions only; the field is located on the Oak Grove side of the campus, just opposite from Winchester. All teams are strongly advised to direct their long and high kicking drills, or scrimmages from North to South to avoid losing soccer balls in neighboring backyards. Coaches are required to have their field permits on-hand, and cooperate by sharing the field with fellow coaches and teams.
Unlike our fall program in which anyone can register to play, player participation in the winter program is by invitation only. To be eligible to play in the winter program, a player must:
Player selection is at the coaches' discretion with the objective of building competitive teams. Contact will be made by the individual coaches in divisions with only one team. In U-10, eligible players will be notified by email of their eligibility, and then required to respond that they wish to play. Coaches will then confirm with the player's family that they have been selected.
In November an invitation for coaches to volunteer for the winter league was sent to all registered fall coaches in the participating divisions. Coaches are selected by the beginning of November and should begin to contact players in late November. Specific season details are made available through the coaches at that time.
Thank you for your interest in the Winter Select program,
Questions? Please contact our Winter League Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com
Please check back for udated information for the 2012/2013 season
Hi coaches,
You've been recommended by our Regional Board, as a coach who represents the best in your division. We're writing to invite you to participate in WL-2011 as a coach. Please respond, to confirm your interest today...first come, first served! We will designate a Head Coach, and Assistant Coach; together you'll join other coach pairs in building balanced teams with us. We will provide you with a group of names to contact at your discretion (highest rated players in the Region), to fill unexpected vacancies on your roster. U10's will have 9 on the roster and play 7v7 (minimum 5 for a match), and u12's and u14's will have 14 on the roster and play 11v11 (minimum 7 for a match). Please contact your players to confirm their interest, and prepare for the season from 1/8/11 thru 2/26/11, with a mandatory coach meeting on 1/3/11 (location to be announced).
The player registration fee is $90.00, and needs to be collected very soon, by the coach (payable to San Mateo AYSO, Region 36); and sent to:
AYSO Region 36
P.O. Box 5316
San Mateo, CA 94402
The player registration fee will cover the insurance, uniforms and field rental fees for training and games. Uniforms will be ordered after team counts are confirmed. Once player fees are processed, the team uniforms will be assigned; no scholarships are available for WL play. All games will be played in neighboring Peninsula cities. Please check this site for regular updates.
Thank you all for your dedication

SilentChaos wrote:Hibiki-an was my first real Japanese vendor. I've only had their sencha superior, gyo superior and fuka premium so far. The sencha superior I thought was decent and a possible daily sencha candidate. The gyo superior had a fragrant aroma but the taste is all over the place, astringent and just awful (not sure what the idea is behind it). I have their fuka premium open now, and IMHO one of the best yabukita senchas I've tasted (though I haven't had many high end yabukitas). Will be looking to try their premium range senchas soon.
SilentChaos wrote:I'm rather skeptical about the fuka superior though. The site says the superior is blended with gyo leaves and fuka and gyo superior are of the yabukita and okumidori breeds. So, I'm thinking that it is perhaps blended with the gyo superior - which still might be nice but I'm not sure. The Fuka premium is definitely worth a try though, *actually sipping a 5th brew of it right now
Chip wrote:When I was newer to Japanerse teas, I actually quite liked the Fukamushi Superior. It has been several years since I had it though. It is a bit rough compared to more highbrow offerings, but this is to be expected, right?!?
In the economical line, I always liked their Sencha Karigane with all sencha components, possibly my fave karigane/kukicha.

MTV's Skins, which features "lurid and explicit" teenage sex, teaches teens some valuable lessons, writes Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post. Other teens-gone-wild shows make adolescent sex and drug use "seem glamorous and exciting," she writes.
CW's "Gossip Girl" . . . portrays the "scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite," as the anonymous narrator says at the start of every episode.
By contrast, the kids on "Skins" seem sad, lonely and disturbed, each in his or her own distinctively troubled way. Cadie is a strung-out pill-popper with a stable of inept, pill-dispensing shrinks and parents who are too self-absorbed to pay her much attention beyond suggesting that she take her meds. Chris is a strung-out pill-popper – he's taken an excess of Erectagra – whose mother abandons him with a scrawled note and $1,000 in cash in an envelope.
They manage to make sex seem like a dreary, transactional chore – a sex-for-pills exchange is arranged to engineer a loss of virginity – and drugs and alcohol seem like, well, drugs and alcohol, unpleasantly disorienting and prone to induce vomiting.
Marcus thinks teens will appreciate their own nagging parents after watching the checked-out, boozed-up parents on Skins.
Will teens watch Skins as a cautionary tale of the downside of sex, drugs and lax parenting? Or will they take the show as a sign that promiscuity and drug abuse are normal?

Topic: Learning Rails v2 or v3?
I'm new to this forum and to Rails. I've been looking through several articles and online tutorials over the past week trying to get a sense of Rails, and it's really got me hooked. I'd like to build a web application using Rails, because it seems like a natural fit for what I'm wanting to do. I'm currently using a web host on a shared server and they are hosting Rails v2.3.x. They can't update to Rails v.3.x due to cpanel/mongrel incompatibility issues with Rails v.3 (as I understand it). So I'm thinking about buying an old edition of the Agile Web Development book (Edition 3) that covers Rails v2 and working my way through that. But I'm wondering if I would be better off going ahead and learning from a more recent resource. How different is the current version of Rails from Rails 2.3.x? If I study Rails 2, will it be much to get up to speed on Rails 3 in 6-8 months when (hopefully) my web host can move to Rails 3?

by Anton Shilov
Sony Corp. and Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) on Thursday announced that they have entered into a memorandum of understanding under which Sony will sell its Vaio PC business to a new company owned by JIP and Sony. Sony and JIP are aiming to conclude definitive agreements by the end of March 2014. Under the current plan, Vaio PCs will leave the global market of personal computers and will only be sold in Japan.
The parties' current intention is to sell Sony's PC business and certain related assets to a new company established by JIP, targeting July 1, 2014 for the completion of the transaction. The new company will be established and operated with capital investment from and management support of JIP. Sony will initially invest 5% of the new company's capital to support its launch and facilitate a smooth business transition.
The new company will conduct operations for its Vaio-branded PC business as an independent business entity, including planning, design, development, manufacturing and sales. Following reevaluation of the product lineup, the new company will initially concentrate on sales of consumer and corporate PCs in the Japanese market and seek to optimize its sales channels and scale of operations, while evaluating possible further geographic expansion. Through these measures, the new company will aim to quickly secure stable profit.
The new company will be based at the Nagano Technology Site (Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture), the hub of Sony's current PC operations. At the start of operations, the new company is expected to hire approximately 250 to 300 Sony employees currently engaged in PC-related operations, such as planning, design, development, manufacturing and sales at Sony and Sony Group companies in Japan.
Following a comprehensive analysis of factors, including the drastic changes in the global PC industry, Sony's overall business portfolio and strategy, the need for continued support of Sony's valued Vaio customers, and future employment opportunities for personnel involved in the Vaio business, Sony has determined that the optimal solution is to concentrate its mobile product lineup on smartphones and tablets and to transfer its PC business to a new company established by JIP that will enable the continuation of the Vaio branded PC business. As a part of the sale to JIP, Sony will cease planning, design and development of PC products. Sony's manufacturing and sales will be discontinued after the Spring 2014 lineup. Even after Sony's withdrawal from the PC market, Sony customers will continue to receive aftercare customer services.
JIP has extensive experience with "strategic carve-outs," whereby it supports companies in the process of relinquishing businesses or subsidiaries as part of a process of focus and selection, provides necessary investment to the relinquished business or subsidiary and helps realize the business's growth potential as an independently operated entity.

A smarter, modernized, and expanded grid will be pivotal to the United States' world leadership in a clean energy future. This policy framework focuses on the deployment of information and communications technologies in the electricity sector. As they are developed and deployed, these smart grid technologies and applications will bring new capabilities to utilities and their customers. In tandem with the development and deployment of high-capacity transmission lines, which is a topic beyond the scope of this report, smart grid technologies will play an important role in supporting the increased use of clean energy.
The Federal Government, building on the policy direction set forth in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and the Recovery Act's historic investments in innovation, offers this policy framework to chart a path forward on the imperative to modernize the grid to take advantage of opportunities made possible by modern information, energy, and communications technology. This framework is premised on four pillars: 1) Enabling cost-effective smart grid investments; 2) Unlocking the potential for innovation in the electric sector; 3) Empowering consumers and enabling them to make informed decisions, and 4) Securing the grid.
Each pillar supports a set of policy recommendations that focus on how to facilitate a smarter and more secure grid. Progress in all four areas, as part of an overall grid modernization effort, will require sustained cooperation between the private sector, state and local governments, the Federal Government, consumer groups, and other stakeholders. Such progress is important for the United States to lead the world in the 21st century economy, be at the forefront of the clean energy revolution, and to win the future by encouraging American innovation.

Finally, the voting's over. Band On The Run, Paul's fifth solo album, is officially his best work ever.
Now let's go on to voting for his best song. I have 512 songs, including his Beatles work. So that would mean 9 rounds of voting...
