In Kenya vote, ICC indictee takes early lead

NAIROBI, Kenya — The Kenyan presidential candidate who faces charges at the International Criminal Court took an early lead Tuesday as votes were counted the day after the country's presidential election.
With about a third of the ballots counted, early results showed Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta ahead with 54 percent of the vote to Prime Minister Raila Odinga with 41 percent.
Isaak Hassan, the chairman of Kenya's electoral commission, said Tuesday that results from 10,000 polling stations are in, but officials await results from 23,000 more stations.
"Nobody should celebrate, nobody should complain," he said. "We therefore continue to appeal for patience from the public, the political parties as well as the candidates."
Either Kenyatta or Odinga need more than 50 percent of the vote to win, otherwise the two will contend in an April run-off. The vote commission has seven days to release certified results.
Hassan said the number of so-called spoiled ballots — votes that won't be counted for not complying with all the rules — was "quite worrying." An American election observer working for the group Sisi ni Amani Kenya — We Are Peace Kenya — said the more than a quarter million ballots thrown out indicate voter education efforts weren't as successful as they should have been.
Long lines formed around the country Monday. Election officials estimate that turnout was about 70 percent of 14 million registered voters. Attacks by separatists on the coast killed 19 people, and other attacks were seen near the border with Somalia, but the vast majority of the country voted in peace.
In the coastal city of Mombasa on Tuesday, three suspected members of the secessionist group Mombasa Republican Council were charged in court for the murder of four police officers during elections.
On Monday, a group of 200 separatists set a trap for police in Mombasa in the pre-dawn hours, Inspector General David Kimaiyo said. Four police were hacked to death with machetes, coast police boss Aggrey Adoli said.
The separatist group — the Mombasa Republican Council — had threatened election day attacks, Kimaiyo said. The MRC believes Kenya's coast should be an independent country. Their cause, which is not defined by religion, is fueled by the belief that political leaders in Nairobi have taken the coast's land for themselves, impoverishing indigenous residents.
Kenya's capital, Nairobi, was quiet Tuesday and no more violence had been reported in the country.
Kenyatta faces charges at the International Criminal Court on allegations he helped orchestrate postelection violence in 2007-08, when more than 1,000 people were killed.
The U.S. has warned of "consequences" if Kenyatta is to win, as have several European countries. Because Kenyatta is an ICC indictee, the U.S. and Europe have said they might have to limit contact with him, even if he is president.
After Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki was hastily named the winner of Kenya's 2007 vote, supporters of Odinga took to the streets in protest, a response that began two months of tribe-on-tribe attacks. In addition to the more than 1,000 deaths, more than 600,000 people were forced from their homes.
Officials have been working to ensure that level of violence does not return this election cycle. Both Kenyatta and Odinga have pledged to accept the results of a freely contested vote.
Kenyan residents appeared to approve of the electoral process so far. The election commission is giving televised press conferences and TV stations are showing the commission's frequently updated vote tallies.
"The elections are going on well. It is better managed than the 2007 elections," said Judith Egesa, 24, who works at a food shop in Mombasa. "We want to welcome a new era. Whoever wins the presidency, we will accept him as long he leads Kenya without tribalism and discrimination. I voted for Raila, but if Uhuru wins I have no problem provided he leads us in peace and fulfills his promises."

Doumit's role with the Bucs in 2011
As Pirates' beat reporter Jenifer Langosch points out in her latest article, A look at Pirates catchers, this is how Ryan Doumit will fit in with the Bucs during the 2011 season.
- $11 is due to catchers Chris Snyder and Ryan Doumit, but it doesn't look as unbalanced as it seems (The estimated payroll for 2011 is in the low to mid $50 M range). $3 M was sent along with Chris Snyder in the trade with Arizona, so once subtracted, the Bucs will owe him a reasonable $2.75 M for this season. Doumit will make $5.1 million in 2011.
- Doumit, if not traded, will serve as a backup catcher. General Manager Neal Huntington has said that Chris Snyder will be the Bucs primary catcher even if Doumit out plays him in Spring Training. Snyder is a huge defensive upgrade over Doumit, allowing only nine passed balls in 2010. Snyder also lead all catchers with a .999 fielding percentage since 2007, at the time of the trade.
- Don't expect to see Doumit only one day a week (what normal backup catchers play). The Pirates believe Doumit will not battle as many injuries with less time behind the plate. He will play some time in right field and is an option at first base –if he improves on his defense at that position. Doumit can be a threat off the bench. The switch hitter batted .251 with 13 homers and 45 RBIs in 124 games last season.
- It appears there are no serious suitors for Ryan Doumit, but if he doesn't make it to opening day with the Pirates, Jason Jaramillo could serve as a backup catcher. There is a chance, if Manager Clint Hurdle wants to use Doumit primarily as a pinch-hitter, that the Bucs could have three catchers on the 25-man roster. If not, Jaramillo will be the everyday catcher at Triple-A Indy.

Alas ? I knew it would eventually happen. :-( We stay in LQ?s EVERY TIME we travel and we?ve been fortunate enough to have had pretty great experiences - up until now. ***Please note: this review is split into 2 parts. One is for the hotel (structure) itself and should not be a reflection of the wonderful people working here. And the other is for the people that work so hard here to make visitors stay as pleasurable as possible. But if at all possible, I strongly urge you to pay the extra money and stay somewhere other than here. Just my opinion. and just to be fair, the front office did offer to move me to a smaller room. But it was on the first floor and we were worried about all of the seedy people walking around that someone would break in to our room so we opted for the dirty higher floor room. I?ll keep this short and bullet point the highlight and lowlights of my stay. ***NOTE: If you do have a problem, please give management an opportunity to make it right. They?re great people and will do what they can for you. Unfortunately, it didn't help in my situation. Let?s start with the bad. Room 218 is beat down! Out dated and heavily used. Many, many war wounds on this room. The room overall was dirty. I literally spent 2 hours cleaning and wiping down things before I could relax and unpack after an 8 hour drive. :-( Sticky dust bunnies all over the alarm clock and lamps. Hair everywhere. In the tub. On the entry way floor. In the bathroom sink. By the toilet. No kidding when I say EVERYWHERE! The toilet rocks against the wall when you sit down and get up. Imagine sitting down and the toilet rocks forward. Then when you get up, BOOM! It rocks back and you get a loud boom. The TV didn?t work. Although the front desk did come up and address this. James is AWESOME ? So we ended up having 2 remotes to work the TV the entire stay. The wall desk was HUGE and bowed in 2 places. The room set up in general is an epic fail. Furniture had broken or torn/chipped corners and scratched surfaces. Stains on the sitting chair and sofa pillows. We didn?t use these pieces AT ALL! The location is bad, bad, bad. Seedy part of town. Lots of ?undesirables? in the area. Don?t let your guard down for one minute when outside of the hotel. Busy Abercorn Street. Road noise, traffic noise and "thug" noise is nonstop. We saw 3 police traffic stops in the hotel parking lot just as we were checking out. Lots of general labor workers staying here during my stay and their trucks took up the vast majority of the parking. Seedy ?thuggish? people here. I saw a guy walking around in the hotel all week with nothing but a pair of shorts on using the business center and talking on the phone. Noisy kids, noisy kids, noisy kids. People just don?t look after their kids here. (not a reflection of the management staff) One elevator. Fail All of the Executive King Suites are right next to the elevators and ice and concessions machines. You will hear people getting ice at all times of the night. One elevator. And all of the executive king suites are right by the one elevator. Fail. Bugs. We had one in our room on the blinds and I saw a roach in the stair way. I stepped on it and killed it. Your Welcome La Quinta. Let?s end with the good! James at the front desk is amazing! James is Southern Hospitality in the flesh! Hugh is a great General Manager that will go out of his way to make things right. He?s a real good guy. Kathy is as pleasant as sweet iced tea. Abercorn has lots of stores and businesses if you need anything - and I do mean ANYTHING. I apologize to the staff of this hotel, but I cannot recommend this hotel to ANYONE nor can i give a positive review of it. We just had so many problems. And it is because of this, I will probably never return to Savannah. Best of luck in your recovery.

I stayed here recently & the customer service was excellent. I was greeted by Kathy and she was extremely helpful. I was already familiar with the area, but the location of the hotel made everything easily accessible for me. The food was great, the cleanliness of the room was amazing. Overall, a great experience. I will be staying here again during my next trip to Savannah.

"Great Beginnings"
Reviewed May 13, 2013
Bonnie G | LaSalle, Canada
My husband and I (both seniors) again decided on another road trip, this time driving from Ontario, Canada to Savannah Georgia where we were going to begin a Civil War Road Trip. La Quinta Inns have always been our favourite choice and this hotel did not disappoint. The moment we walked in the door and where greeted by James we knew the next three days would be perfect. James was so welcoming and friendly and our check in was seamless, we gave him our confirmation number and within 10 minutes we were moving our luggage into our room. After a very short period of time we received a call confirming everything was to our liking and James told us to contact the desk anytime should we need anything. Late that afternoon we went to the front desk and received recommendations for places to have supper within walking distance and instructions on getting to downtown Savannah the next day for sightseeing and where to park. This La Quinta is further from downtown but well worth the extra few minutes driving. The free hot/cold breakfast in the morning is a wonderful way to start the day; the three days we stayed here we chose something different each morning, all fresh and enjoyable. Each time we passed the desk we were warmly greeted with smiles from James, Kathy, and Jennifer - they would inquire each time if we were enjoying ourselves, if we needed anything or if there was something they could help with. Surprisingly the afternoon before we were going to leave and continue our road trip my husband did tell James our GPS died on the way there and we would probably have a difficult time finding our way around the Civil War Trail.... immediately James and Jennifer checked the front desk area for a ups cord that would fit our GPS and James was volunteering to reset the system on his laptop. Sadly no cord could be found so he suggested we take the unit to Radio Shack down the street for help. James does not know this as we got back after his shift and he was off the next day but Radio Shack employee (see separate review) was able to download our maps and reset the unit. Thank you James you are the best, you went above and beyond your "job". La Quinta states in their mission statement that they have two goals and they never change: "Live our core values, which are inspired by our people: PEOPLE - PASSION -INTEGRITY - EXCELLENCE - UNIQUE" "Delight our guests with an experience that makes them feel: ASSURED - SETTLED IN - OPTIMISTIC" James you did all of that and more. And I would be remiss on not mentioning Jennifer and Kathy also for their help, also Hugh Osborne the General Manager for helping us with a glitch when checking out we were uncertain if we had the proper reservations for our next stop in Charleston, SC. Hugh assured us not to worry and that as we traveled toward our next La Quinta stop he would call ahead and make sure everything was perfect. And thank you Hugh everything was perfect and we loved the king room and early check in. I can not say enough great things about this hotel except that the staff I mentioned make your stay go above and beyond any expectations you could have. We will be back, thank you so much.

I hesitate to post anything negative about any of the LaQuinta motels where we've stayed. They are all super clean, super friendly, and pet friendly. This is one of the most important aspects of this chain. No pet charge, and this particular motel had a doggie treat bag ready for our Buddy. I do wish they had a larger bathroom area for the dogs, but they do provide baggies for cleanup. I understand this is a motel in a very big tourist town, but I wasn't happy when I was charged almost double my Thursday night charge for staying a Friday also. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work, and even though this is a small complaint, the same problem happened at our last LaQuinta visit in another town. I will highly recommend this motel to all my pet loving friends, and others as well.

I saw this recipe while perusing Don't Get Mad, Get Vegan last night. The recipe originally comes from Lachesis on the PPK forum. I am always on the lookout for a great white sauce, and have tried my hand at my own (see here). This one is pretty much the same idea but was oh so much better! Smooth, creamy, and totally like actual alfredo! This is what I will be serving next time I have omnis over for dinner (but I think I will add roasted garlic for more depth of flavour). The original recipe calls for mushrooms marinated in vegan Worcestershire sauce (which I can't get here), and since Son#1 complains every time he see a whole, or partially whole, mushroom I decided to leave them out. So, be sure to look at the original post. Instead, I made a half-recipe of quick seitan cutlets which I sliced with the pasta and sauce. Incredible!

The 4x1 double breasted jacket (a DB with a four button front, only one of which is working) that is frequently seen in photos of the late Duke of Windsor was actually popularized during the 1930's by the man in the photo: Windsor's late brother, the Duke of Kent.
When made properly, the 4x1's two lower buttons are in line with the tops of the side pockets and the two upper, non-working, buttons are keystoned out above them. The spacing between the upper and lower buttons is quite a bit closer than it is on a more conventional 6x2 double breasted.
The 4x1 DB is a great look on men of average stature or less as the longer sweep of the lapel relative to the jacket gives the impression of height. Despite this, the style is usually only available from bespoke tailors today, and even here a man needs to be careful and precise when he is placing the order. I attempted to order two of them within the past year, from two different tailors. I got one jacket that was a 6x2 minus the top buttons and another that was a conventional 6x2. I still do not own a 4x1.
But I intend to continue trying.

The 4x1 DB
15 comments:
- Bob said...
Well Will, here we disagree. The 4 on 1 DB really is flattering to no man, unless he is in shape enough, say, to row the Atlantic alone.
That is because the emphasis placed by the buttons in addition to the pockets at just exactly the place one might wish to have one's tailor conceal, well, it just never seems to work out that great even with the additional sweep of the lapel.
The 4 on 1 is a great idea whose time has not yet returned, in my opinion, and I guess likewise in the opinion of your otherwise most trustworthy tailors. - September 12, 2009 at 9:26:00 AM PDT

More a matter of lack of competence on the part of one of my tailors and poor listening skills on the part of the other Bob.
I agree that the cut looks better on a thin man, but then so do clothes generally. - September 12, 2009 at 10:38:00 AM PDT

The 4X1 accentuates the physical imperfection of a less than flat stomach.
It is only surpassed in this by wearing ones trouser under ones belly with the waist band rolled over. - September 12, 2009 at 10:47:00 AM PDT

M Hampton I am of the firm belief that any man, however short in height or wide in girth, can wear a double breasted. The 4 to 1 would look good on you Will so keep trying. The problem with many men is not with the model of the double breasted, but rather the fit and cut of the suit. If the button closure suits the man and the fit is right the natural elegance of the db always comes through.

Your comments about the 4 on 1 looking
good on short men could be right on. Case
in point, I saw Ralph Lauren at the Pebble Beach
Concours maybe seven or eight years ago
wearing a 4 on1 blue blazer with a pair of
yellow slacks and what looked like Belgian
loafers. Not surprisingly, he pulled it off.
Although I would dispense with the yellow
slacks. - September 12, 2009 at 1:02:00 PM PDT

By a funny coincidence, I just thrifted a very nice 4 on 1 double-breasted suit. It needs a little alteration and it will be ready to wear. Although I'm not as slender as I once was, I am, shall we say, vertically challenged, so I hope I will be able to pull it off.

- JC said...
Will, what would you advise (besides making clear one does not want a 6x2 minus the top buttons or a conventional 6x2) discussing a 4x1 with the tailor to enhance a successful fit?
- September 12, 2009 at 11:21:00 PM PDT
- gentleman amateur said...
What about the 6x1? I think it was disparaged in The Suit.
- September 13, 2009 at 12:22:00 AM PDT

More a matter of a successful cut than fit I would say. Many tailors have never made one.

Regarding the photo, the subtleties are hilarious to me. Never have I a seen such an elegant dresser be so upstaged by small child grabbing their crotch. Priceless. - September 13, 2009 at 9:01:00 AM PDT

This picture isn't from the best angle to tell, but most pictures I've seen of the Duke of Kent and Duke of Windsor show them wearing a 4x2, not a 4x1. With the 4x2, only the bottom is fastened. It is like a 6x2 without the top buttons. In the picture of the Duke of Kent I have linked, the buttons are placed in a square but they appear in the keystone manner by the way the jacket is cut. You can tell from the folds of fabric between the buttons.
In certain pictures I've found, the top buttonhole can be seen. It is a similar concept to the 3-roll-2. Check out this picture of the Duke of Windsor:
I find this style to be much more appealing than the true 4x1. - September 14, 2009 at 11:11:00 PM PDT

There is no shortage of arrangers creating settings of the music of honored Jewish music heroine Debbie Friedman – but this is one of the best. This piece will bring listeners to tears at a healing service or Shabbat worship; Friedman's melody brings out the special meaning in the text, and Feinsinger's voicings are beautifully appropriate.

"The consumer psyche has been seeded with (Microsoft's) Kinect and (the iPhone's) Siri," Miller says. "That gives us momentum at Leap, because people want to control their world."
Still, gesture- and voice-control remain novelties to most consumers. Ditching the mouse could take some time.
"If you do it wrong, or push it too fast, people would think, 'I don't know the sign language, and I'm not using this,'" says Buckwald, the Leap Motion CEO.
Leap Motion is working on programs and games to help customers get used to the hand movements. CNNMoney tried out an in-development game similar to Jenga.
In the meantime, Miller admits the mouse still has some pluses.
"We think eventually the mouse will disappear. But there are still some uses for it. For example, (Leap isn't) great for spreadsheets right now," Miller says. "But in the future, that could change. It all could change."

Charitable Choice and the Faith-Based Initiative: Implications for Discrimination
Charitable Choice Main | Press | Letters | Testimony | Frequently Asked Questions | Administration Officials on the Issue | The Democratic Record
Brief History
In August of 1963, thousands of people gathered to march on Washington to urge the adoption of federal civil rights protections. Among their demands were an end to discrimination in the workplace and that federal funds be withheld from any agency which practices discrimination with those funds. The march laid the groundwork for monumental civil rights legislation, such as the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
When Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed the following year, it became the most comprehensive legislation to achieve equal rights and protect citizens from discrimination. Section 703 (a) of the Act made it unlawful for an employer to "fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions or privileges or employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." Title VII however, makes exemptions for church groups and faith-based organizations, allowing them to discriminate in hiring practices in order to maintain their organization's integrity. This had traditionally referred to the actions of the organization while using its own money.
Both before and after the Civil Rights Act, Presidents throughout the past 60 years have used Executive Orders to strengthen federal anti-discrimination policy. On June 25, 1941, President Roosevelt signed an Executive Order that banned discrimination by defense contractors based on race, religion, color or national origin. Roosevelt's Executive Order 8802 was the first to prohibit employment discrimination and marked the beginning of fair employment practices in the United States. These protections against employment discrimination were expanded by subsequent Presidents. Executive Order 11246, signed by President Johnson in 1965, expanded the prohibitions against employment discrimination to all government contractors, not just defense contractors. Every President of the United States since 1965 has enforced these Executive Orders. Over time, various civil rights laws were passed that contained similar prohibitions against discrimination and employment based on race, religion, color, national origin or sex. None of these Executive Orders affected the religious exemption set forth in Title VII, but they drew the separation between Church and State so that federal taxpayer money was not used to fund religious activity and discrimination based on religion was not permitted while using taxpayer dollars.
In the 1990s, then-Senator John Ashcroft created the concept known as 'Charitable Choice' during the drafting of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act. The concept altered existing law to permit taxpayer-financed social service funding of houses of worship in a few welfare programs.
This approach represented a radical change. In the past, government sometimes contracted with organizations such as Catholic Charities or United Jewish Communities to provide services, but safeguards were kept in place to protect the integrity of the groups and the interests of taxpayers. Houses of worship did not contract directly with the government; rather, religious institutions created separate entities (usually 501(c)(3)s) to handle public funds and did not incorporate religion into the publicly funded program. Further, Johnson's Executive Order had maintained safeguards against employment discrimination in these programs receiving taxpayer dollars.
President Clinton signed these Charitable Choice provisions into law but issued signing statements indicating that his Administration would not "permit governmental funding of religious organizations that do not or cannot separate their religious activities from [federally-funded program] activities" because such funding would violate the Constitution. In short, the Clinton Administration interpreted the provisions as being constrained by the constitutional mandates that prohibit the direct funding of houses of worship and government-funded employment discrimination. No federal money went to organizations that were pervasively sectarian, no money went to any organization with the Title VII exemption, and therefore no one could exercise discrimination using these funds while Clinton was President.
Under the Bush Administration, Charitable Choice was vastly expanded through a series of Executive Orders. In 2001, Executive Orders 13198 and 13199 created and set out organizational guidelines for a White House Office of Community and Faith-Based Initiatives. Executive Orders 13280 (2002), 13342 (2004), and 13397 (2006) mandated that the departments of Justice, Education, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, Commerce, Veteran Affairs, and Homeland Security, the Agency for International Development and the Small Business Administration all establish a Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. In 2002, the most controversial Executive Order was issued – Executive Order 13279 – which made it easier for churches and other faith-based organizations to receive federal money by letting them circumvent certain anti-discrimination laws. Under the umbrella of the Faith-Based Initiative, the Bush administration began allowing discrimination with federal money for the first time since the 1960s.
For decades, religious organizations have been providing social services, including in some cases with the use of government funds, without the Faith-Based Initiative. The fundamental differences between the Faith-Based Initiative and the long-standing legal provisions regarding faith-based organizations' participation are: (1) allowing proselytization during a secular, government-funded program; and (2) permitting employment discrimination with federal funds. Any program that could be federally funded under the Faith-Based Initiative could have been funded before it if the sponsoring organization agreed not to discriminate in employment and not to proselytize. Moreover, no religious organization has stated to Congress that it needs to be able to proselytize or discriminate in order to run a successful program. There has been a general consensus that proselytization with federal funds violates the First Amendment to the Constitution, but the issue of whether discrimination with federal funds should be permitted remains hotly debated.
Recent Developments
During the 2008 campaign, President Obama said that he would not allow discrimination with federal money, unlike the Bush Administration. However, on February 5th 2009, when the Obama Administration unveiled its new White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, reversals of Bush's controversial policies were notably absent. Joshua DuBois, who has been appointed to lead the Office, stated that claims of discrimination will be investigated "on a case-by-case basis."
The policy of no discrimination in federal programs is a fundamental element of our civil rights strategy - if we fail to enforce civil rights in federal programs, we lose our moral authority to impose those laws on private employers who may be devoutly religious. With the troublesome Bush policies still intact, employment discrimination will continue. Because religious discrimination is explicitly allowed under the Faith-Based Initiative, there are other implications for discrimination that also take place under the guise of religious discrimination. Many churches and faith-based institutions are ethnically and racially homogeneous. Where religious discrimination is allowed, it is difficult to ensure that racial discrimination is not also occurring. In addition, religious discrimination can also lead to discrimination based on sex.

Administration Officials on the Issue
2011 Testimony of Obama Administration officials when asked about the faith-based initiative and the ability of religious organizations receiving federal funding to discriminate in employment based on religion with the federal funds. Click on the links to watch video.
March 28, 2012 - Secretary Duncan, United States Department of Education (2:15:05)
June 1, 2011 - Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice (1:22:02)
May 5, 2011 - Secretary Sebelius, Department of Health and Human Services (1:46:00)
Received May 24, 2011 from the Dept. of Health and Human Services as a follow-up to/clarification of the Secretary's response in the hearing on May 5th:
Grantees and contractors are typically the organizations operating programs funded by the Department. A variety of statutes and regulations address the hiring rights of HHS grantees and contractors, depending upon the program or kind of funding instrument involved. Most of those authorities apply Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"), See, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-1, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion when hiring but includes an exemption for any "religious corporation, association, educational institution, or society." Religious organizations that receive any HHS grants or contracts generally retain that exemption after receiving the funds. Consequently, religious organizations that receive HHS awards may usually consider the religious orientation of persons that apply for employment provided that no other law applies.
May 3, 2011 - Attorney General Holder, United States Department of Justice (58:16)
March 9, 2011 - Secretary Duncan, United States Department of Education (2:17:50)
Received May 10, 2011 from the Dept. of Education in response to a further Question for the Record submitted by Rep. Scott:
Are any programs permitted to discriminate based on religion using federal funds supplied, granted or otherwise given out by the Department of Education?
The Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) expressly provide that in the selection of grantees and contractors, the Department and grantees shall not discriminate for or against a private organization on the basis of the organization's religious character or affiliation and that private organizations that receive grants or contracts under Department programs may not discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective beneficiary in the provision of program services on the basis of religion or religious belief. However, these regulations also provide that a religious organization's exemption from the Federal prohibition on employment discrimination on the basis of religion is not forfeited when the organization receives assistance from the Department or a grantee. Additionally, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, states "this section shall not apply to any educational institution which is controlled by a religious organization if the application of this subsection would not be consistent with the religious tenets of such organization." See also the Title IX regulation implementing this provision at 34 CFR 106.12.
The 2008 Democratic Party Platform:
"We honor the central place of faith in our lives. Like our Founders, we believe that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith and the countless acts of justice and mercy it inspires. We believe that change comes not from the top-down, but from the bottom-up, and that few are closer to the people than our churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques. To face today's challenges–from saving our planet to ending poverty—we need all hands on deck. Faith-based groups are not a replacement for government or secular non-profit programs; rather, they are yet another sector working to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We will empower grassroots faith-based and community groups to help meet challenges like poverty, ex-offender reentry, and illiteracy. At the same time, we can ensure that these partnerships do not endanger First Amendment protections – because there is no conflict between supporting faith-based institutions and respecting our Constitution. We will ensure that public funds are not used to proselytize or discriminate. We will also ensure that taxpayer dollars are only used on programs that actually work."
The 2004 Democratic Party Platform:
"We honor the central place of faith in the lives of our people. Like our Founders, we believe that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith and the countless acts of justice and mercy it inspires. We will strengthen the role of faith-based organizations in meeting challenges like homelessness, youth violence, and other social problems. At the same time, we will honor First Amendment protections and not allow public funds to be used to proselytize or discriminate. Throughout history, communities of faith have brought comfort to the afflicted and shaped great movements for justice. We know they will continue to do so, and we will always protect all Americans' freedom to worship."
The 2000 Democratic Party Platform:
"Faith-based and community-based organizations have always been at the forefront in combating the hardships facing families and communities. Democrats believe it is time that government found ways to harness the power of faith-based organizations in tackling social ills such as drug addiction, juvenile violence, and homelessness. However, in contrast with the Republicans, Democrats believe that partnerships with faith-based organizations should augment – not replace – government programs, should respect First Amendment protections, and should never use taxpayer funds to proselytize or to support discrimination."
The Clinton Administration Record on Charitible Choice
1996 – The Clinton Administration submitted amendments as part of its technical corrections package to Congress regarding concerns over the constitutionality of Charitable Choice provisions contained in welfare reform. They filed the following comments with the amendment:
"[P]rovisions of sec. 104 and its legislative history could be read to be inconsistent with the constitutional limits…. We recommend amending sec. 104 to clarify that it does not compel or allow States to provide TANF benefits through pervasively sectarian organizations, either directly or through vouchers redeemable with these organizations."
Congress did not act on those amendments.
1998 – The Clinton Administration issued a signing statement placing limitations on the Charitable Choice provisions contained in the Community Services Block Grant:
"The Department of Justice advises, however, that the provision that allows religiously affiliated organizations to be providers under CSBG would be unconstitutional if and to the extent it were construed to permit governmental funding of "pervasively sectarian" organizations, as that term has been defined by the courts. Accordingly, I construe the Act as forbidding the funding of pervasively sectarian organizations and as permitting Federal, State, and local governments involved in disbursing CSBG funds to take into account the structure and operations of a religious organization in determining whether such an organization is pervasively sectarian."
2000 – The Clinton Administration issued a signing statement placing limitations on the Charitable Choice provisions contained in the reauthorization of the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Act (SAMHSA):
"The Department of Justice advises, however, that this provision would be unconstitutional to the extent that it were construed to permit governmental funding of organizations that do not or cannot separate their religious activities from their substance abuse treatment and prevention activities that are supported by SAMHSA aid. Accordingly, I construe the Act as forbidding the funding of such organizations and as permitting Federal, State, and local governments involved in disbursing SAMHSA funds to take into account the structure and operations of a religious organization in determining whether such an organization is constitutionally and statutorily eligible to receive funding."

In this weeks roundup of comics (still lagging in my write-ups due to waiting to receive my comics in the mail before I move to a digital format), I read a bunch of the DC 52 comics, including Batman #1, Catwoman #1, I, Vampire #1, Nightwing #1, Supergirl #1, and Wonder Woman #1, in this penultimate week of the relaunch, as well as the second issue of IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Some work well to bring in new readers, some go more the route of Green Lantern #1 by refusing to baby the reader (which I received in the issues I didn't really need this, while felt a little lost in those I might have needed a little more help with).

MASON, W.Va. — The Lady Falcons regular season finale spoiled by Belpre.
The Wahama girls basketball team dropped its final game of the regular season Monday night in a 61-39 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division loss to Belpre in Mason County.

BHS began the second period with a 7-0 that took four minutes off the clock. Both teams scored four points over the final 4:00 of the first half and the Lady Eagles held the 27-11 advantage at halftime.
Just 1:30 into the second half BHS expanded its lead to 23 points but Wahama countered with an 8-to-2 run. The Lady Eagles out scored WHS 9-6 over the final four minutes of the third period, and they led 45-25 with eight minutes remaining.
Wahama's 10-to-4 to begin the finale cut the BHS lead to 14 points but the Lady Eagles sealed the 61-39 victory with a 12-to-4 run.
Sierra Carmichael led the Lady Falcons with 13 points, followed by Paige Gardner with six. Mackenzie Gabritsch and Kelsey Zuspan each chipped in with five points, while Olivia Hill marked four. Rachel Roque, Bunni Peters and Shalyn Greer rounded out the WHS offense with two points apiece.
The Lady Falcons shot 3-of-11 (27.2 percent) from the free throw line and 18-of-47 (38.3 percent) from the field in the game. Wahama had 29 turnovers and 21 rebounds, while committing 21 team fouls.
Belpre was led by Sierra Barker with 20 points and Katelyn Hughes with 11. Lexus Cunningham and Hannah Lawrentz both marked eight points, while Claudia Hall and Ashley Jenkins each had four. Emily Hughes, Rachel Packard and Audrea Linton rounded out the BHS scoring with two points apiece.

Perfect Set of Gauges

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Oceanic 60 Meter Max-Depth Combo Gauge (Old Style) "Metric":
Great set of gauges! I thought I would need to add prescription lens' to my mask to see. But once I got underwater (factoring the 30%magnification) I could see the gauges perfectly without (I wear glasses because I am far sighted). Also, the guages are very accurate. I added a compass to the cavity on the underside...it fit properly without any issues.

About Me Advanced
I bought this from Leisure Pro and am really happy with it. I've seen some consoles that seem like cheesy toys, but this is well made.The best thing about this unit is that (on mine) the depth and compass are on the same side, so it's perfect for navigating when the vis is less than desirable. This way you don't have to flip the stupid console over to check depth (I ran into a ship's boiler doing that). That's just smart!I would buy this unit again! Thanks LP!

Quarterly market overview profiling real estate conditions in major business markets
The US economy continued to chug along at a steady pace in December, adding 155,000 jobs and bringing the total increase in employment for the year to 1.8 million jobs, or roughly 150,000 per month. That's almost identical to the job growth in 2011. Just as there was little employment impact from Hurricane Sandy in November, there appeared to be very little impact from the Fiscal Cliff debate in December. Revisions to previous months were minor, but positive, with November employment being revised up by 15,000 jobs.
For the real estate sector the final resolution of the US debt situation will have an important impact on market activity. Leasing and investment markets appear poised for healthy levels of activity this year, but how fast this occurs will depend critically on how and when all elements of the Fiscal Cliff are resolved.
While the November employment report was much better than generally expected, the bottom line is that the U.S. economy continues to generate jobs at a substandard pace.
The UK property investment market remains polarised, with occupiers, investors and financiers still selective and wary of a number of global macroeconomic issues, including slowing growth in China, impending fiscal retrenchment in the US and continued uncertainty in Europe. The third quarter of 2012 did see some improvement in the political situation in Europe as well as some positive steps being taken towards resolving the debt crisis. Nevertheless, while this gave a much needed boost to confidence levels, it was short lived and doubts remain as to whether this will translate into higher levels of investment activity going forward.
Global Slowdown With Better Times In Sight
The year 2012 started off with high hopes that the challenges faced by the global economy would be overcome and growth would accelerate. Instead, the difficulties intensified and the expected improvement got pushed back.
Nevertheless, the fundamental drivers continue to point to stronger growth. As solutions to the political-economic challenges are implemented and confidence returns, demand will build and lead to a much healthier economic climate.
Even though 2013 will get off to a slow start, Cushman & Wakefield is optimistic that the stage has been set for a significant turn-up late next year and a strong global rebound in 2014 and beyond. Read our Economic Pulse Forecast 2013 for global and regional analysis.

Preparing Our Homes and Families during National Flood Awareness Week
We all know that April showers bring May flowers, but those showers can also bring the threat of severe and heavy flooding. According to FEMA, floods are the second-most common and widespread of all natural disasters, affecting homeowners in all 50 states year-round – often following winter snow thaws, spring rains or heavy thunderstorms.
March 12-16 marks National Flood Awareness Week, a time for all homeowners and communities to ensure that they are properly prepared for flooding.
Here are some of the top tips to ensure you and your family are prepared in the case of a flood:
- Develop a family emergency plan. Plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family. Know safe routes from home, work and school that are on higher ground.
- Build an emergency kit with basic disaster supplies including:
- First aid kit
- Bottled drinking water
- Non-perishable food items and manual can opener
- Battery-powered or hand-crank radio
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Waterproof/water-resistant clothing such as rubber boots
- Safeguard your possessions. Create a personal flood file containing information about all your possessions and keep it in a secure place, such as a safe deposit box or waterproof container.
- Purchase a portable or standby generator to power your home in the case of flood-related power outages. A back-up source of power like Generac's Guardian Series can fuel essential home appliances such as a sump pump, refrigerator and furnace, reducing the risk of damage to your home and belongings. You can learn more about standby and emergency power solutions at www.generac.com.
- Prepare your home in advance by anchoring fuel tanks, clearing debris from gutters and downspouts, and placing the furnace, water heater, washer and dryer on cement blocks at least 12 inches above the projected flood elevation.
- In the event of a flood, make your way to higher ground as soon as possible, avoiding areas where the water level has already started to rise. Never attempt to drive through a flooded roadway.
While no one can completely reduce their risk of being affected by flooding or a flood-related power outage, we can all take steps to ensure that our homes and families are prepared for a flood-related emergency.

In spite of the retirement of original singer Alan Clarke, the familiar line-up of Tony Hicks, Bobby Elliot, Ray Stiles, and Ian Parker (plus new singer Peter Howarth and guitarist Steve Lauri) continue to present a dazzling show, featuring favourite songs and that trademark Hollies sound. With more hits than The Beatles, The Hollies helped shape the world of Pop and Rock as we know it today. Perhaps best known for their number 2 hit 'He Aint' Heavy, He's My Brother'.

National charter schools organization behind McCravey | Letter
November 5, 2012 · 7:41 AM
During the past weeks, Stand for Children PAC has been campaigning hard against State Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, sending out materials opposing her and supporting her opponent, Dawn McCravey. Their campaign literature also supports charter schools, an issue that has failed every time it has come to the ballot over the past ten years.
Does Stand for Children even come from this state and should we even trust their opinion? According to their website, they are a national organization with offices in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas, Oregon and Washington state.
While they claim an office based at Eastlake Ave., according to their board filings with the Washington Secretary of State they not even from Seattle. According to their annual reports they are based in Portland, Ore. Their 990 says they're a 501(c)3. According to the IRS, 501(c)3 organizations may not campaign for, or against, individual candidates.
In particular, their president, secretary and treasurer are the same person, Julie Mikuta.
