Barney's Favorite Things
December 13, 2010
Barney here. As you all know, I'm a big ol' giver. I like to get in there and just give hard. So this week, partly inspired by the holidays but mostly inspired by my massive bonus check, I decided to elevate my giving to a new level of awesome.
You may have heard about an anonymous donor anonymously showering the patrons of MacLaren's Pub with hundreds of anonymous gifts. Well, that awesome anonymous donor was me. Shhh... don't tell anyone.
Here's a list of what I gave:
Pez dispensers
Velour tracksuits
Lap dances at the Lusty Leopard
Barney Stinson novelty condoms (extra thin, for his pleasure)
Remote controlled dinosaurs
Silk neckties (water resistant up to 100 meters)
Hypercolor t-shirts
Digital barbeque tongs
Zune mp3 players (Cobra Kai limited edition)
Whoopie cushions
Autographed copies of "The Playbook" (available wherever books are sold, seriously)
Snap bracelets
Hoverboards (they don't work on water, you bojos)
Gorgonzola cheese wedges
"I Love NY" mousepads
AM/FM alarm clocks (with built-in high-definition cameras)
Bootleg copies of "Space Teens" (with deleted, unrated scenes)
Gift certificates to Emilio's Tailor Shop
Actual working light sabers
Hugh Hefner life-size cutouts
Mini-trampolines (ladies only)
Armani pocket squares
Box of hair products (stolen from Ted's bathroom)
In addition to my generosity at the bar, I'll be donating to the following charities:
Feed the Cute Children
Doctors Without Pants
Defenders of Nightlife
NPR (National Pubic Radio)
The Red Polka-Dot Cross
Designer Shoes for the Homeless
Society for the Immediate Banishment of Brassieres

|Star Piece
|Unknown edit
|Can be used to buy special badges.
|Other Edition
|Unknown edit
Star Pieces were obtained in a variety of ways, from finding them out in the open to secret platforms. Secret platforms looked like the normal setting, but if Mario groundpounded next to it, the platform would go flying and a Star Piece would emerge. The only way to tell if a secret platform was in that area was by using your partners Watt and Ms. Mowz or by using the I Spy badge. Merluvlee also helps Mario in both games by telling him where a Star Piece is for some cash. Other times, people gave Mario Star Pieces for doing them some sort of favor.
Paper Mario Edit
In Paper Mario, there were 160 Star Pieces. There was a sign in Mario's Pad that kept track of how many Star Pieces Mario has obtained compared to 160.
- 70 Star Pieces were obtained by either finding them in the world or by people giving them to Mario.
- 64 Star Pieces were obtained by answering a Chuck Quizmo question correctly. If you answered a question incorrectly, you would try that question again later. Once you have answered all 64 questions correct and you have all 64 Star Pieces, Chuck Quizmo will call you the master and dissapear.
- 15 Star Pieces were obtained by doing Koopa Koot favors. Some favors gave Mario none, one or three Star Pieces depending on the favor.
- 11 Star Pieces were obtained by delivering letters. There were 11 letters in the game that were meant for 11 different people. Once you returned the letter to the correct person, that person would give you a Star Piece.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Edit
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there were 100 Star Pieces. There was a sign near the enterance to the Pit of 100 Trials that kept track of how many Star Pieces Mario had obtained compared to 100. Even though there were fewer Star Pieces, Ms. Mowz was an optional partner and there was no I Spy badge, making it somewhat harder to find the Star Pieces in this game compared to Paper Mario. Star Pieces were found in a variety of places like in Paper Mario, like under secret platforms and given by people. The Trouble Center gave Star Pieces as rewards sometimes for completing a favor if the helped person didn't.
Trivia Edit
- Merluvlee is related to the Star Pieces in both games. In Paper Mario, she is the sister of the badge trader and can tell Mario where a random Star Piece is. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, she lives right next to the badge trader and can tell Mario where a random Star Piece is.
- The term "Star Pieces" also referrs to the major collecting items in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
- Chuck Quizmo gives a total of 64 Star Pieces, 64 being a referance to the console Paper Mario is for, the Nintendo 64.
- Star Pieces were in a game for Mario Party 5, called Frozen Frenzy.
- The Rubees in Super Paper Mario look remarkably similar to Star Pieces.

By Chris Lehourites, The Associated Press
France and South Korea head into the first round of the World Cup with something to prove.
The other two teams in Group G, Switzerland and Togo, will be hoping to survive.
France, the favorite in the group at this year's tournament in Germany, went into the last World Cup as defending champion, then failed to score a goal before being sent home with two losses and a tie.
South Korea served as co-host in 2002, but had never won a World Cup match in its five previous appearances. That changed with an amazing run to the semifinals.
In Germany, the French hope to prove their poor '02 showing was a fluke, while the South Koreans try to show they still are a team to be feared, even on the road.
Since Raymond Domenech took over as France coach in July 2004, the team has lost only one of 18 matches, 2-1 against visiting Slovakia in March. But it does struggle to score.
Zinedine Zidane, who retired from international soccer but came back to help France qualify for the World Cup, will lead the team in Germany. It's certain to be his last appearance on the biggest stage in soccer.
Most of the team has recognizable names: Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, David Trezeguet, Fabien Barthez. Others, such as Franck Ribery and Pascal Chimbonda, will be with the national team for the first time, while Robert Pires, Nicolas Anelka and Johan Micoud were passed over.
"I know the weight of this responsibility, it was not easy," Domenech said after selecting his squad. "Nights and nights of doubt and insomnia. This list will not please everybody."
What might please the fans back home is a spot in the second round, and the same goes for South Korea.
"We are going with full confidence to a tournament in Germany because I think every player wants to bring the best out of him," South Korea coach Dick Advocaat said. "Expectations are high in Korea, but ... expectations are high with the coaching staff."
Advocaat chose 10 veterans from the last World Cup to his squad, led by Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung and Tottenham defender Lee Young-pyo.
Ahn Jung-hwan, who scored the winning goal against Italy in the second round of 2002, will lead the offense with Seol Ki-hyun and Cho Jae-jin.
"We have a very balanced squad and a squad that can surprise a lot of people in the world," Advocaat said.
Switzerland is back after a 12-year absence, and it will bring a new crop of players to the World Cup.
Philipp Senderos, Tranquillo Barnetta and Johan Vonlanthen — all 21 or under — play abroad and could push the team beyond the first round.
"Our young players in particular have learned that we can beat the big teams," Switzerland coach Koebi Kuhn said. "We've beaten the big nations, like Italy, Germany, England and France, in the under-17s and under-21s. In the past we've been accused of lacking confidence, but our young players aren't afraid of anyone."
The forward line also features Alexander Frei, who scored seven goals in qualifying and was the top scorer in France last season.
Switzerland qualified by beating 2002 semifinalist Turkey on away goals in a playoff. The second leg in Istanbul ended in violence, with players and coaching staff fighting in the tunnel on the way to the locker room.
Togo is led by forward Emmanuel Adebayor, who plays for Arsenal. Sheriff Toure of Metz is also expected to be a key player. But Togo isn't expected to have much chance to advance past the group stage in its World Cup debut.
A better showing than its woeful performance at the African Cup of Nations would be helpful.
The Sparrow Hawks lost to Cameroon, Congo and Angola in the first round of the African Cup and went home early despite beating well-regarded Senegal to first place in their World Cup qualifying group.
Togo coach Otto Pfister, who replaced Stephen Keshi in March, is optimistic.
"We will put up a better performance against South Korea at the World Cup," Pfister said. "I accepted the challenging job as national coach at this difficult period to win for Togo. Not to lose."

SoCal community prepares for wildfire's aftermath
By Chris Woodyard and Oren Dorell, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES As wildfires burned Sunday across Southern California, residents of a community that suffered some of the worst devastation gathered for an emotional homecoming.
About 100 residents, most of whom had lost their homes, were not being allowed back into the Oakridge Mobile Home Park in the Sylmar area. They mingled, amid tears and hugs, under a freeway overpass nearby.
"We will be back," pledged Jenny Harmon, who managed the park for the past 23 years and accepted from firefighters a sooty American flag salvaged from her neighborhood. "I lost everything, even my automobile. (But) we are going to rebuild."
Fires that began on Thursday have destroyed more than 800 houses, mobile homes and apartments in Los Angeles County, Riverside and Orange counties to the east and Santa Barbara County to the north. In the Oakridge Mobile Home Park, 484 mostly mobile homes were burned in a space of 200 acres.
Firefighters continued to make gains early Monday as ferocious Santa Ana winds finally abated. Forecasters said wind speeds would drop to 15 to 20 mph today, making conditions far less dangerous than the 70-mph gusts Saturday that blew flames into a firestorm.
In Orange and Riverside counties, the fires chewed through nearly 24,000 acres and were pushing toward Diamond Bar in Los Angeles county, home to 57,000 people. A major aerial attack on Sunday raised containment to 19%.
Meanwhile, a 15 square-mile fire that hit hard in the Sylmar area of northern Los Angeles on Saturday had moved into the Placerita Canyon area of the rugged San Gabriel Mountains and was burning vigorously, but well outside the city. It was 40% contained.
The Santa Barbara-area fire that swept through tony Montecito has burned 3 square miles and was 80% contained.
Still, forecasters said dangerous fire conditions will continue at least through today.
Fire officials deemed that fire out of control and ordered 1,400 residents evacuated as the flames approached. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said 26,500 people remained under evacuation orders for that fire alone.
Firefighters were "basically putting themselves between the fire and the residences," Los Angeles County fire spokesman Darryl Jacobs said.
The blaze, officially called the Triangle Complex Fire, destroyed 64 structures. Embers set off new fires west, next to the Riverside Freeway, burning luxury homes in the Orange County cities of Brea, Yorba Linda and Anaheim.
More than 735 firefighters were using bulldozers and manpower to cut away swaths of dried brush and trees ahead of the flames. These "fire breaks" — as they are known — are intended to starve the fire of fuel and prevent it from spreading, Jacobs said.
Planes and helicopters were dropping fire retardant, which includes park lands covered with brush interspersed with housing tracts. The Firestone Scout Reservation, a large camping area that Los Angeles-area Scouts used for decades, was overrun by the fire.
Even though 124 homes escaped destruction in Oakridge residents were being kept away as officers, rescue dogs and deputy coroners scoured the rubble looking for human remains. Police had declared Oakridge a crime scene Saturday, barring entrance by anyone out of fear some of its many elderly residents may have been trapped and killed.
No remains have been found. Police said they have no reports of missing residents.
Oakridge was a close-knit community: bingo games every Tuesday, potluck dinners and group excursions. Many residents were retirees but it was home to families of all ages. Upscale prefabricated homes sold for as much as $300,000, Harmon said.
It wasn't the park's first brush with destruction. Residents evacuated about six weeks ago when another fire threatened.
Carrie and Russ Case moved their entire extended family into Oakridge over the years — divided among six homes. All the homes were lost. The family used to gather at least once a month for a group dinner or to watch American Idol.
Carrie Case, 50, an office manager, said she and her husband escaped with nothing but their two dogs. She said the family will return.
Not Arnold Napolitano. His house was spared, but he said it wasn't worth returning.
"Even though my house has been saved, I can't live here anymore," the 75-year-old retired banker said as he peered over a fence. "This looks exactly like an atom bomb hit this place."
Gracie Craig was still waiting to find out whether she still had a place to live. Back for a second day, hoping to get into the park, she said, "I'm working from scratch here."
Woodyard reported from Sylmar and Dorell from McLean, Va.

Expedited Wind and Solar Projects
President Obama's "We Can't Wait" initiative is supporting 7 solar and wind projects of significant value to the U.S., including a 3 GW wind proposal. He has stated that they will be "expedited", likely referring to the permitting process.
According to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, the government is working working to advance smart development of renewable energy on our public lands. This he says, is a part of President Obama's all-of-the-above strategy to expand domestic energy production and strengthen the economy. He also mentioned that the seven proposed solar and wind projects have great potential to grow our nation's energy independence, drive job creation, and power economies across the west.
Of the 7 projects, two are wind farms with a combined capacity of 3.4 GW; the 425 Mohave Wind Energy Project in Arizona and the 3GW Chokecherry and Sierra Madre project in Carbon County, Wyoming (WY); Three are Solar PV projects: NextEra's 750MW McCoy PV array and enXco's 150MW Desert Harvest project, and First Solar's 350MW Silver State South solar energy generation plant in Nevada, and two are CSP projects: Solar Reserve's 100MW Quartzsite CSP proposal for Arizona, and RES Americas 200MW Moapa Solar Energy Center plan.
In the case of the Mohave Wind Project, federal permit and review decisions are now to be completed by January 2013. The aim is for final permitting decisions to be made by October 2014, while the Chokecherry/
The Moapa Solar Energy Center project, once approved and constructed, would be one of the first large-scale solar projects on tribal lands in the US., employing 100MW of PV technology and 100MW of CSP technology. The project is being developed in cooperation with the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians on a 2000 acre site on the Moapa River Indian Reservation in Nevada, and currently has a deadline of December 2013 for federal decisions relating to the project.
The White House statement noted the Obama Administration'
The Department of the Interior has approved 31 new projects in the past 3 threes. More utility-scale renewable energy projects on public lands than in the past two decades combined.
ECS offers clean energy solutions for project developers and financiers looking for sound investment opportunities in clean energy projects. We offer a variety of services including but not limited to feasibility studies, project planning, risk assessment, technical design and engineering, project permitting, project management, and more.

With the immense popularity of Twitter, webmasters now have made full use of this platform to expand their influences among Twitter users, with a view to increasing their website traffic in turn. For instance, some of these people add a Twitter embedded timeline on their homepages to better showcase the updated tweets, and others simply create a Twitter Card to attach the blog posts with tweets perfectly. This time, we'd like to tell you how to embed tweets directly to the content of your post or website.
To be honest, webmasters now have enriched their blog posts greatly using different formats other than the textual contents and images, such as maps, music players, video players, apps, photo galleries, and many more. Attaching embedded tweets, moreover, is another perfect way to diverse the posts, and in the meanwhile, to integrate your Twitter account with your website tightly.
How to Add Embedded Tweets
Frankly speaking, this practice is pretty easy to handle. You only need to go for a specific tweet you'd like to showcase in your content, and click the more action from its bottom. Note that every tweet has a set of actions including photo viewing, favorite, reply, and retweet. The tweet embedding is hidden into the dropdown menu of the More option. Within it, you can also pin to your Twitter profile.
Then, the needed coding stuff can be created immediately. Before copying and pasting the HTML code into of your target webpage with the proper placement you want, you'd better check the preview section firstly to see whether the appearance and the way it displays can fully meet your requirements.
This graphical example is the standard embedded tweet generated by Twitter. It includes your featured image that is already expanded, your Twitter account, the post title along with a brief summary, the publish date, and the number of retweets and favorites in real time. In addition, there is a Twitter Follow Button integrated automatically, allowing readers to follow your account directly from your webpage if they are interested in your tweet. Moreover, this embedded tweet is pretty interactive, allowing people to reply, retweet and favorite your tweets simply from the bottom box.
How to Customize the Tweets
Sometimes, you may dislike the default appearance of your embedded tweet after checking the preview section. In this case, you can make some modifications of the code using the corresponding attributes.
Disable Conversation
Hide Twitter Cards
Decide the Width and Height
Set the Alignment
Choose the Theme and Color
After modifying the code based on your preferences, now you can copy and paste the code into any webpage you want the tweet to display. Here, we have to mention that unlike the embedded Twitter timeline that would be better to be added into the homepage or the website sidebar as it displays multiple tweets and updates for the latest information uninterruptedly, the embedded tweet is fixed that needs to be added into one of your blog post or webpage.
Easier Option
Without doubt, adding a tweet to your content is an easy task. If you are using WordPress or some other quality content management systems for website building, the things can be even easier as these tools have their in-build workflow for tweets embedding.
In this case, you only need to copy the URL of your target tweet, and paste it to your post. Then, the CMSs can add the proper code automatically and display your tweet perfectly. To find the URL, simply click the Details option next to the publish time.

Anger Management: Saving Relationship
Anger is like fire; once you feed it, it will grow higher and more powerful until it consumes you. But, if you will put it off, there will be less damage and less fatality. When you are angry, once you let it consume and overpower you, you will feel out of control but when you will let it pass before talking or acting, then you will control it and the events and the words that will follow are totally under your control. Anger management will surely help you control your anger and yourself when f...

John Weston Parry, J.D.
Three relatively recent New York Times articles help document a disturbing reality: how our criminal justice and quasi-civil detention systems deal with offenders and ex-offenders who have sexual and other mental disorders does not correspond to good social science, justice, or humane treatment. The desire for retribution and perceived security at almost any cost, when combined with blatant discrimination and unfairness, distorts rational analysis and deprives us of cost-effective policies at a time when our total human resources are scarce and growing scarcer. Indeterminate incarceration followed by a lifetime of costly, highly intrusive supervision and monitoring—in lieu of meaningful care, treatment and rehabilitation—for only these "special" offenders and ex-offenders is a counterproductive approach, which also has become economically irresponsible.
Hundreds of thousands of individuals, who deserve to be released from government custody or to have a reasonable opportunity to earn their release, are either incarcerated or dumped into costly but barely livable residential situations, while highly dangerous offenders slip into or remain in our communities without ever having received the care and treatment they require in order to curb or eliminate their criminal proclivities. Mostly, we only can guess which individual offenders with sexual or other mental disorders might have responded well to meaningful care and treatment because so few actually receive those needed services. Not surprisingly, our guesses have tended to be inadequate both in terms of reliability and accuracy.
Also, those guesses have been overwhelmingly biased towards not providing needed care and treatment, since, for the most part, that is what our criminal justice and quasi-civil detention systems are inclined and equipped to do. Some jurisdictions are better or worse than others, but few if any have the resources in place to be deemed rational, humane, or cost effective, much less all three, which should be a minimum requirement for any law that has been enacted. [See, John Weston Parry, Mental Disability, Violence, Future Dangerousness: Myths About the Presumption of Guilt (Rowman & Littlefield, October 2013) for a comprehensive discussion and analysis of these laws and why and how they should be reformed.]
Our Criminal Justice and Quasi-Civil Detention Systems Are Often Based on Crowd-Pleasing, Unscientific Fictions
A N.Y. Times op-ed piece by Erik Parens of the Hastings Center of Bioethics and Public Policy about the somewhat obscure philosophical notion of "binocularity"—viewing ourselves as individuals who are able to exercise free will, yet understanding that we are still manipulated and influenced by internal and external forces—makes the intriguing and controversial observation that "advances in neuroscience [may] move reasonable people to abandon the idea that criminals deserve to be punished." In other words, if our neurological compositions largely determine what we are likely to do and how we are likely to behave, then the concept of free will is turned upside down and could be rendered irrelevant or substantially incomplete by future scientific developments.
This perspective is very different from the popular contention that advances in neuroscience can or should be used to identify who among us are likely to behave in criminal or antisocial ways. The fundamental distinction is that while we already should be able to understand, based on persuasive evidence, that certain aspects of genetics and neuroscience have undermined traditional notions of free will, whether we will ever have the ability to use that growing body of information in order to make accurate and reliable predictions about future behaviors is highly uncertain. Regardless, these two divergent perspectives about the potential for neuroscience to affect the law raise a much larger concern, which reflects a far more encompassing socio-legal critique.
Our criminal and civil justice systems and the laws that they rely on are surprisingly inadequate and naïve in how they incorporate social science and other knowledge in beneficial ways. In our courtrooms and tribunals legal fictions and procedures too frequently outweigh rational thought, especially where popular notions of justice should be put to the test. This has been true in America since well before the Salem Witch Trials. There continues to be no comprehensive and authoritative approach to bring the law up to date. The process is mostly ad hoc and uneven at best and practically nonexistent at other times. Getting it right should not mean balancing what we know or can prove with what popular constituencies want us to believe.
Nowhere is this legal over-dependency on ignorance, fallacies, and fictions more pronounced than when people who have sexual and other mental disorders are the targets. There is a whole system of laws and policies, both criminal and civil, based on bad social science and prejudice that may unfairly intrude upon these people's lives leading to indeterminate governmental interventions for many. Judges and juries in a system stacked against enlightenment and towards popular prejudices issue penalties and other intrusive dispositions against defendants and respondents, who are among the most despised and feared individuals in our society.
The judiciary is aided in these legal fictions by many so-called experts, who pretend or convince themselves that they are able to reliably predict future behaviors—particularly dangerousness—even though the available empirical evidence overwhelmingly indicates that their predictive powers are woefully lacking as compared to the standards of proof that the law normally demands or should require. Perhaps the most blatant affront to truth and knowledge are the creation of registries and lists for people with sexual and other mental disorders that permanently deprive them of their fundamental rights with no fair opportunity to challenge the validity and accuracy of those computerized amalgamations. These listings are inherently deficient both in terms of the laws that are used to determine what information is gathered and the haphazard methods of compiling that information. In concept, it is similar to the most influential members of the community making these ex-offenders wear scarlet apparel with the words "sexual offender" or "mental offender" emblazoned on the front.
A Mental Disorder Is Not a Crime
Law Professor Margo Kaplan made a compelling argument in the N.Y. Times that what we call pedophilia, having an attraction to prepubescent children, is a status and not a crime. "[P]edophilia is [not] the same as child molestation…." Many individuals with pedophilia never act on their sexual preference or do so in virtual ways that do not involve child abuse.
As the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled or noted on numerous occasions, a person's mental or physical status should not be used to convict them of a crime or impose penalties or intrusive restrictions on their lives. Thus, people with pedophilia should have the right to live freely in our society without intrusive governmental interference, unless they commit a sexual offense. Moreover, by not providing these individuals with meaningful care and treatment and alternatives to offending, we fail to take advantage of "opportunities to prevent child abuse."
Scientific studies indicate that pedophilia may well be one of those conditions, which has "neurological origins…a failure in the brain to identify which environmental stimuli should provoke a sexual response." At a minimum, it is clear that pedophilia creates compulsions or cognitive imbalances that tend to override free will. Whether those dysfunctions are due in large part to an individual's neural make up, however, is debatable.
Kaplan's arguments could—and arguably should—be applied more widely to encompass all sexual or mental disorders that involve strong compulsions or that otherwise decimate or undermine free will. As with pedophilia, our laws intended for individuals with these disorders are "inconsistent and irrational." They also are highly discriminatory and unfair in legally targeting, prosecuting, and sentencing people with these disorders differently than other Americans, typically to their detriment.
As Kaplan points out, even the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other federal laws intended to protect people with disabilities have a specific exclusion for citizens and residents with pedophilia. That same broad exception to coverage applies to many other sexual or mental disorders, which she does not mention. The ADA (42 U.S.C. sec.12211(B)(1) excludes: "transvestism, transsexualism, pedophilia, exhibitionism, voyeurism… compulsive gambling, kleptomania, or pyromania, or … current illegal use of drugs." Moreover, commonly mental disorders have been the ADA's unwanted stepchildren, which, as a practical matter, have much lower levels of compliance and enforcement associated with them than physical or sensory impairments.
Kaplan also discusses the fact that many individuals with pedophilia are able to control their compulsions—or to control them longer—if they receive care and treatment and other assistance, which helps ensure that they do not succumb to their sexual urges by abusing children. People correctly diagnosed with pedophilia are likely to always have these feelings, but "a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication can help [them]…manage urges and avoid committing crimes." Unfortunately, we know very little about what prevents people with pedophilia from offending "because research has usually been limited to those who have committed crimes." A similar research gap exists for people with other sexual or mental disorders that are thought to make them potentially dangerous. Thus, we really do not know much about the factors that explain why many people with sexual compulsions or other cognitive imbalances do not commit crimes.
Beyond our general ignorance about treatment, we are further stymied in dealing with sexual offenders, including people with pedophilia, because one of the most obvious alternatives to sexually abusing children, adolescents, and adults has become increasingly illegal. What our society outlaws as obscenity, especially child pornography, include the very images that can provide alternative outlets for individuals with these sexual compulsions or desires. As a society we have had two overriding subjective reactions to pornography, which have prevented it from being used as a treatment tool or a pleasurable diversion.
The first is a deeply seeded disgust or disapproval towards what we view as being "obscene," especially if it involves anything that is considered to be outside societal or religious norms. Determining what is obscene has been a highly subjective, arbitrary, and prejudicial process. As Justice Stewart famously opined in Jacobellis v. Ohio, "I know it when I see it," which often means "I will choose to condemn it if I don't like it or those who practice it." Thus, until 1967 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided Loving v. Virginia, interracial marriage was a criminal offense in over a dozen states.
Hugh Heffner helped make certain types of sexual images and acts socially acceptable or more acceptable. (After all, even Gloria Steinem was a Playboy bunny, although she subsequently explained that her involvement was a sociological exercise.) Yet, many sexual images or acts have remained on the fringe or have been outlawed. They have included homosexual relations of any kind, sex between people of different races, sex between unmarried partners, and of course the broad umbrella of sodomy, which among other things has included oral and anal sex. Sodomy vaguely encompasses acts "against nature," even though those who have passed such laws had no idea what science actually had discovered in nature. Through the early 1970's, both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association viewed homosexual conduct as a mental disorder, although apparently there was never a successful insanity or diminished capacity defense pleaded by "sodomy" defendants based on their being gay or bisexual.
Today, we have various social prohibitions against people who change their gender or have an ambiguous relationship with their gender. Wellesley, which apparently tries to be a diverse college for women, cannot seem to figure what it should do about its current students who decide to become men, as if that requires a great deal of thought. How about helping them with their transitions? The Catholic Church still prohibits priests and nuns from having any type of sexual relations. And twelve states still have sodomy laws on their books ten years after the Supreme Court declared those statutes unconstitutional in Lawrence v. Texas.
The second overriding reaction towards pornography is a belief or impression—which once again is not supported by empirical data—that providing alternative sexual outlets to people with nontraditional sexual preferences will somehow increase the likelihood of sexual crimes occurring. This is the same strained and often irrational argument that is used to try to limit birth control for minors. Yet, the most substantiated dangers have occurred by making the production of pornography illegal. Too often in the course of the black market operations, which produce these banned sexual materials, those who are filmed or videoed are exploited or abused, particularly children and young women.
If these sexual images were produced and widely distributed in ways that were regulated and avoided such exploitation and abuse, they could provide potential sexual offenders with acceptable alternatives that would help manage any potentially criminal urges they might have. Instead, we put people in prison—often for many years—and place them on sexual offender registries—likely ruining their lives forever—not for sexually assaulting and abusing children, adolescents or adults, but rather for watching or sending images or representations that violate societal sexual norms.
Placing Highly Intrusive Restrictions on Offenders with Sexual and Other Mental Disorders
Reporter Joseph Goldstein wrote an article in the N.Y. Times, which decried the fact that sexual offenders in New York City often are kept in "prison beyond their release dates… because … of a state law that governs where they can live." Specifically, these ex-offenders are prohibited from "living within 1,000 feet of a school… [including even] in "homeless shelters." What makes this law far more intrusive and counterproductive is that the "onus of finding a suitable residence … is on the sex offender…," not the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. However, that Department will not release these ex-offenders "until a suitable residence is available to them." This means that if state officials are inclined to keep these ex-offenders incarcerated, which often they are, they may do so by helping to ensure that reasonable housing alternatives are unavailable or simply doing nothing constructive to help.
This singular injustice has much broader and more pernicious implications. To begin with, throughout the United States there are many similar types of restrictions and intrusions on the lives of ex-offenders with sexual and other mental disorders: where they may live, where they are allowed to walk and work, how they may use the Internet, who they may associate with, and prohibitions that prevent families and loved ones from receiving social services if they choose to reside with these ex-offenders. Such sanctions have little to do with the prison sentences that these ex-offenders have received and almost everything to do with the difficult or impossible to refute presumption that they remain dangerous after their prison sentences expire or would have expired. In addition, the same or a similar battery of restrictions is placed on anyone who has committed a sexual felony and/or ends up on a sexual offender registry.
At the same time, many other similar living restrictions are imposed by judicial or pseudo-judicial fiat against offenders and ex-offenders with sexual or non-sexual mental disorders. The only requirement is that these restrictions be somehow justified by broadly interpreted legal standards or another vague umbrella known as "public safety." There are plenty of experts or pseudo experts affiliated with the corrections departments and the courts, who will assert that reasonable legal standards have been complied with if any question arises about the propriety or fairness of those restrictions. The primary objectives tend to be maintaining plausible deniability and avoiding bad publicity.
Perhaps the worst injustices involve individuals, who either never sexually abused any other human being, but violated felony laws against pornography, homosexual conduct, or exposing themselves in public areas, or found themselves on the sexual offender registries by an inadvertent or deliberate mistake that—even more so than identity theft—can be very difficult if not almost impossible to correct. Despite the fact that their offenses are non-violent and do not even involve nonconsensual touching, generally these offenders—or victims of mistaken identity—are subject to the same restrictions as serial rapists.
The complicated matrix of federal and state laws and policies that apply to defendants, respondents, inmates and ex-offenders, who have been diagnosed (or misdiagnosed) with sexual and other mental disorders in our criminal justice and quasi-civil detention systems, should be revamped. The existing laws and policies have been and continue to be counterproductive on many different levels. Furthermore, even those relatively poor results are unsustainable given the extent of the economic downturn and how it continues to negatively affect our governmental systems. We need to substantially reduce or even eliminate the burgeoning array of highly expensive, discriminatory, and often poorly managed detention facilities and programs that are intended to indefinitely incarcerate these offenders and then monitor and intrusively restrict them in the community should they be released. Increasingly, these individuals are being placed in government custody for the rest of their lives.
Regardless of the approach that is used, there always will be a substantial percentage of recidivists. That is inevitable. We need to acknowledge, however, that ex-offenders already have served their sentences. Furthermore, recidivism rates can be highly deceptive and misleading because they are so difficult to measure and the measurements often are biased towards complying with predetermined outcomes. These difficulties are magnified substantially when recidivism predictions are applied to individual offenders rather than groups.
The more important and reliable measure for our society should be the total number of violent offenses that are committed. Meaningful and targeted care, treatment, and other related services would be far less costly—and far more effective, just, and humane—in reducing the number of those offenses, than continuing to do what we have done in the past. The potential benefits would be much greater still if needed social services were provided voluntarily in the community well before a first offense might occur. An ounce of judicious prevention is worth a pound of expensive incarceration and intrusive community supervision.

Cologne's Germany star Lukas Podolski is being targeted by German league rivals Schalke 04 as a replacement for Spain striker Raul next summer, the German media reported Thursday.
Podolski, 26, is under contract with Cologne until 2013, but Gelsenkirchen-based Schalke are viewing him as a replacement next summer for Raul, 34, whose contract expires in June.
Cologne have repeatedly said they want to extend Podolski's contract when the Bundesliga's winter break starts on December 18.
"I'd like to hear what they have to say, but I won't put myself under any pressure," Podolski told Germany daily Bild, whose 11 goals in 13 games makes him the league's joint third top-scorer with Cologne 12th in the Bundesliga.
"I am taking the necessary time to think about what is right for me.
"I want to know how to help develop the club."
With four teams entering the Champions League next season, rather than the current three, Schalke, currently fourth in the Bundesliga, have a good chance of playing in Europe's top club competition next season.
But the Royal Blues were staying tight-lipped over any interest in Podolski while Raul has yet to commit to a contract extension at Schalke with talks planned for later this month.
"Lukas Podolski is a great player, who has a contract in Cologne, I am not saying any more than that," Schalke's director of sport Horst Heldt told Bild.
Podolsk has spent most of his career at Cologne, apart from an unsuccessful three years at Bayern when he failed to establish himself before returning to the Rhineland club in 2009.

"GE Jonathan Gave Lagosians Bribe In US Dollars" – Fashola Tells GEJ To Visit Chibok
Feb 23, 2015 – "GE Jonathan Gave Lagosians Bribe In US Dollars" – Fashola Tells GEJ To Visit Chibok
Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola has exposed Jonathan.
The trail blazer Governor accused the President of distributing raw US dollars during his 5-day visit to Lagos.
Fashola said Jonathan met with different strategic groups and gave them dollars in order to win their favour.
He disclosed this yesterday after inspecting projects in Lekki area of Lagos.
During the five days, Jonathan reached out to different groups such as traditional rulers, cooperative societies, market women and others in his bid to garner support for his ambition which might be one of the reasons for the postponement of the elections from February to 28 March and 11 April.
The governor was reacting to a statement credited to Jonathan that he would liberate Lagosians from bondage
He asked the president to attempt to spend the five days he spent in Lagos at Chibok in Borno State.
"I want to assume that he did not make a statement that he would deliver Lagos residents from bondage. The question to ask Mr. President is whether he had come to free them from bondage.
"He was here for five days meeting with different people and groups, distributing money in dollars. It is an un-presidential statement made in an act of desperation. That means he lived in bondage in five days if he had come into the state to free people. If he can live here for five days moving with patrol vehicles that we paid for, let him go and spend five days in Chibok and he will know what bondage is," he said.
