OLR Bill Analysis
SB 859 (File 23, as amended by Senate "A")*
This bill bans private transfer fees on and after the bill's effective date. A "private transfer fee" is, with some exceptions, a fee or charge payable (1) upon the conveyance and subsequent conveyance of an interest in real property located in Connecticut or (2) for the right to make or accept the conveyance.
For any private transfer fee obligation in existence as of the bill's effective date, the bill requires the obligation to be (1) disclosed in the sale contract and (2) recorded in the town's land records by December 31, 2013. The bill also specifies how real property can become unencumbered by an existing obligation.
*Senate Amendment "A" removes provisions that made (1) violations of the bill an unfair or deceptive act or practice under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and (2) a principal liable when an agent, acting on the principal's behalf, imposed a fee. It adds a provision that allows someone aggrieved by a private transfer fee to bring suit in Superior Court.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Upon passage
The bill makes it illegal for a person (which includes an entity) to impose a private transfer fee obligation on or after the bill's effective date. It specifies that any obligation imposed on or after that date and any agreement that violates the bill is void and unenforceable.
Further, it allows anyone aggrieved by the imposition of a private transfer fee in violation of the bill to sue for damages in Superior Court.
Disclosure Required
The bill requires a contract offered or entered into after the bill's effective date for the sale of real property in Connecticut that was previously encumbered by a private transfer fee obligation to include a (1) provision that discloses the obligation's existence, (2) description of the obligation, and (3) statement that the obligation is subject to the bill's provisions.
The bill specifies that (1) a contract that fails to make such a disclosure is void and unenforceable and (2) the purchaser is not liable to the seller for damages under the contract. It also specifies that the purchaser is entitled to the return of all deposits he or she made in connection with the contract.
Recording Required
For private transfer fee obligations imposed before the bill's effective date, the bill requires the person who is paid the fee to record the obligation in the town's land records by December 31, 2013. The recording must be a separate document entitled, in at least 14-point bold type, "Notice of Private Transfer Fee Obligation" that includes:
1. the amount of the private transfer fee or method by which it is calculated;
2. if the involved property is residential, fee examples for a home priced at $250,000, $500,000, and $750,000;
3. the date or circumstances under which the obligation expires;
4. what the collected fee will be used for;
5. the name of the person who collects the fee, specific contact information for where the fee is sent, and the person's acknowledged signature; and
6. the involved property's legal description.
The bill allows a person who is paid the fee to file an amendment to the notice when contact information changes. Any such amendment must include the above recording information.
The bill allows an existing private transfer fee obligation to be removed if:
1. the person who is paid the fee fails to record the "Notice of Private Transfer Fee Obligation" by December 31, 2013 or
2. upon the written request of a grantor of real property for a statement showing the amount of the fee payable upon the property's conveyance, the person who is paid the fee fails to provide a written statement within 30 days of the request.
If either of these situations occurs, the bill requires a grantor of real property to record an affidavit specifying the facts of the matter in the town's land records. By law, such an affidavit must include a description of the land affected by the affidavit and the land owner's name (CGS § 47-12a).
Upon filing the affidavit, the grantor is relieved of the obligation. The grantor can thereafter convey the property without paying the private transfer fee and the property will thereafter be conveyed free and clear of the obligation.
When an affidavit is recorded as set forth in the bill, it is admissible as prima facie evidence that the grantor submitted a written request for the fee statement and the person who is paid the fee failed to provide the statement within 30 days.
Private Transfer Fee
Under the bill, a "private transfer fee" is a fee or charge payable (1) upon the conveyance and subsequent conveyance of an interest in real property in Connecticut or (2) for the right to make or accept the conveyance. It does not include any:
1. consideration payable by a grantee to a grantor for the conveyance of an interest in real property (including mineral rights), including any subsequent consideration payable by the grantee for the property based on subsequent appreciation, development, or sale of the property, provided the subsequent consideration is payable on a one-time basis and the obligation to pay the consideration does not bind successors in title to the property;
2. commission payable to a real estate broker or salesperson for selling real property pursuant to a contract or agreement between the broker or salesperson and a grantee or grantor, including any subsequent commission payable by the grantee or grantor for the property based on subsequent appreciation, development, or sale of the property;
3. interest, fee, charge, or other amount payable by a borrower to a lender under a mortgage, including any fee payable to the lender for agreeing to assume the loan or conveyance of the property, an estoppel letter or certificate (e.g., a document that certifies a certain set of facts and bars a party from later claiming a different set of facts), and any shared appreciation interest, profit participation, or other consideration payable to the lender in connection with the loan;
4. rent, reimbursement, fee, charge, or other amount payable by a lessee to a lessor, including any fee or charge payable to the lessor for agreeing to assign, sublease, or encumber a rental agreement or lease;
5. consideration payable to the holder of an option to purchase an interest in real property or the holder of a right of first refusal or first offer to purchase an interest in real property, for the holder to waive, release, or not exercise the option or right;
6. tax, assessment, fine, fee, charge, or other amount payable to or imposed by a governmental entity;
7. dues, assessment, fine, contribution, fee, charge, or other amount payable to an association or a unit owners' association organized under the Common Interest Ownership Act pursuant to any declaration, covenant, law, or association bylaw, rule, or regulation, including a fee or charge payable to the association for an estoppel letter or certificate;
8. dues, assessment, fine, contribution, fee, charge, or other amount imposed by a declaration or covenant encumbering a municipality, county, or any combination of the two, or a neighborhood or other area, irrespective of boundaries or political subdivision and payable solely to a tax-exempt organization for the purpose of supporting cultural, educational, charitable, recreational, environmental, conservation, or other similar activities that benefit the municipality, county, neighborhood, or other area; or
9. dues, assessment, contribution, fee, charge, or other amount payable for the purchase or transfer of a club membership related to real property.
Private Transfer Fee Obligation
The bill defines "private transfer fee obligation" as an obligation arising under a declaration or a covenant recorded against the title to real property located in Connecticut or under any contractual agreement or promise, whether or not recorded, that requires the payment of a private transfer fee upon a conveyance or a subsequent conveyance of an interest in the real property.

Chapter 1 : Thestral feeding

Background: Font color:
Amazing chapter Image by Bear&Fox at TDA {thanks so much ellie}
He watched her. He didn't know why he did. But Draco was perched on top of a branch, in Hogwarts grounds; the best bit was he had a perfect view.
He'd been doing this for the past couple of days. He was drawn to her and he got her.
A smile played at his lips. He knew he shouldn't be there, he knew that any one else in existence would find it dam right creepy, but he also knew that she wouldn't.
Luna Lovegood dumped her hand into a bucket and pulled out raw meat. She slowly moved forward toward the thestrals; stroked the strange, bird like creatures head. After it bowed its head to the side, she stretched out her hand.
"You're quiet right you know," said Luna, in her dreamy voice. She lifted her head into the direction of where Draco was sitting. "most people would proberbly find that quiet disturbing."
Draco arched an eyebrow as she turned back to the thestrals, pulling out some more raw meat from the bucket.
Draco wondered if he should. Did he really want a conversation with Loony Lovegood? Somehow he knew the true answer, but he just felt like she had something he needed, though he had no idea what the hell it could be.
Draco jumped down of the branch; dusted down his Hogwarts uniform, while making his way over to Luna.
"You can see them too," she said, turning to him. "they really are quiet friendly you know, once you get to know them."
Draco hesitated, but dug out some raw meat and copied Luna's previous movements. The thestral to his left bowed his head and began to nibble the food.
"You didn't ask me," said Draco, he turned to his head to her. "Why I can see the thestrals"
"Only those who've seen death can." Luan paused. "My mother was experimenting with a potion and it went badly wrong.
Draco looked back at the thestrals. He knew Luna had lost someone, obviously, but he didn't know it was her mother and know they where at the subject. The one he'd been trying to avoid.
"My father," he replied "he managed three months in Askerban after the war before he…"
"I'm sorry Draco" whispered Luna she wiped her hand and placed it his shoulder. The pairs eyes where fixed. Luna's sapphire blue ones seemed to swim with sadness for his loss. She seemed to hesitate, removing her hand from him. She tied her dirty blonde hair back in a lose pony tail.
Draco coughed to clear his throat and picked up some more meat.
He didn't know why he was still there. He didn't know why he wanted to talk about this now when he hadn't for over a year.
"My father left me a letter." He stretched out his hand to the thestrals. "I can't open it."
Draco fished inside his pocket and held the letter in his hand. The letter was still sealed.
Luna looked at him; she appeared to be studying the letter. She took the letter from him and began to open it gently.
Draco watched her almost get to the end, but clasped his hands over hers.
"Draco, you need me to."
Draco gave a nod and Luna unravelled the letter, she began to read. He missed most of what she said. The words just seem to skim over his brain, but he caught bits, glimmers. Proud was one; in all the years he knew his father proud was not a word that he had heard him say.
Draco turned away from Luna as she read, he blinked rapidly and he knew. He knew why he had been watching her. He knew why he was compelled to staying, he was mourning.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Despite High Gas Prices, Americans Keep on Driving ; Fuel Will Have to Top at Least $2, If Not $3, for Drivers to Change Their Behavior
Article excerpt
As Daniel Franco fills up his Ford Sport Trac, he watches the dollar meter on the pump tick past $40 before it finally stops. "Just a few months ago it used to cost just $25," he says, shaking his head.
Like most Americans, Mr. Franco is not happy about the high price of gas. But he's also convinced there's not much he can do about it because, as for many Americans, driving is an integral part of his work. And he's not about to trade in his Sport Trac for a fuel- efficient Mini - he needs the room in the truck for his building materials.
With gasoline prices reaching new highs, some analysts expect Americans to be working to hold the line on fuel consumption. But so far, there are very few indications that's happening - in part, because the overall economy continues to grow.
Gas-guzzling SUVs continue to fly off showroom floors. In fact, the bigger ones are selling better than the more efficient compacts, according to WardsAuto.com. And groups that monitor Americans' driving patterns haven't seen any drop in demand at the pump. To the contrary, it's at an all-time record high of 8.8 barrels a day, according to the Energy Information Agency. And while there has been a flurry of "gas and dash" thefts, according to the Petroleum Marketers Association of America, the number pales in comparison with that during the energy crisis 20 years ago.
Indeed, most experts say prices will have to go a lot higher, and stay that way, before Americans trade their traditional SUVs for super fuel-efficient hybrids. "People simply haven't felt the pain adequately to change their behavior," says John Tobin, director of the Energy Literacy Project in Evergreen, Colo.
Experts say it will take a crystal ball to determine just where that threshold is. Last week, gas prices hit a new average high of $1.80 a gallon. Some analysts believe the magic number will be $2 a gallon. Others don't think Americans will change their habits until it hits $3 a gallon - which could come as soon as the Memorial Day weekend. …

Published in 2008, Neil Gaiman's offbeat novel The Graveyard Book is a quirky tale about Nobody (Bod) Owens, a human boy who was raised in a graveyard. Bod came to the graveyard as a toddler, escaping his parents' and sibling's murderer, by the man Jack. Adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Owens, Bod is raised among an eccentric cast of characters, most of whom are dead and inhabit the graveyard. Tutored by the spirits and given Freedom of the Graveyard, he learns special talents like "fading" in order to live in the graveyard comfortably and undetected, safe from the man Jack, who is still searching for him.
On his journey through childhood and adolescence, he befriends a human girl, helps the spirit of a witch, opens and subsequently escapes a ghoul-gate, dances the Macabray (a dance of the dead), and even attends school outside of the graveyard, where he confronts the school bullies. The characters in Bod's life are unique and influential. Silas, Bod's guardian and teacher, exists between the worlds of the living and dead, and can move fluidly between the two in order to provide Bod with food and necessities to survive. Silas is a voice of wisdom and a mentor to Bod. Bod is also taught by Miss Lupescu, a wolf-woman who imparts some very important lessons that end up saving his life. Combined with friends like Liza Hempstock, the graveyard witch, and Scarlett Perkins, Bod's human friend, Bod's experiences are in part shaped by his friends and teachers.
The Graveyard Book can be compared to the Harry Potter series for its supernatural elements and orphaned protagonist. Bod's family, like Harry Potter's, was killed by a murderer who continues to antagonize the one member of the family they were unable to kill. While Bod's biological family did not raise him, he has a collective, non-traditional family in the spirits of the graveyard. However, his adventures stem from his own choices, and not the guidance or direction of parental influence.
Themes of community, friendship, and family abound in this unconventional tale of growing up. The Graveyard Book upturns the traditional idea of home and safety. In a bit of twisted logic, for Bod, being among the dead in a graveyard is safer than residing among the living, because to reside among the living means a certain death. Although it is difficult to leave the safety of the "known life" behind, Bod must move ahead in order to truly live. Of all the gifts the graveyard gave him, the most valuable is the understanding that, in the words of Silas, "life is potential."

I'll try and get used to him - but geez, it's not the same without Jensen. Jenson and Ali look so similar to have GV look nothing like her is just wrong.
Jennifer loves Daniel and Daniel loves Jennifer.
I missed a week of this show so I don't know why Carolyn Brady came back so soon. Was she deemed healthy now w/o Alzheimer's?
And what was the excuse they used for Bo being gone?
And if Bo has really left the show, what storylines will they do w/Hope?
maybe her character is doomed or maybe she needs a break also?
Re: Caroline Brady --- I think her treatment program was supposed to be fairly short term --- if I remember correctly, it was a new (trial?) medication regime for Alzheimer's that didn't require patients to stay for a prolonged period of time. And it was not purported to "cure" Alzheimer's, but to delay some of the symptoms and help in some way with the others.
And how they're going to explain Bo's prolonged absence --- that I don't know.
Jen and Dan suck.
Clone Daniel?? i'd rather they kill daniel.
I personally thought Jennifer and Frankie Brady had the best chemistry. Love those two together and wouldn't mind having a Frankie for myself.
I think it's funny how some of these characters can produce such divergent opinions..........like hating Daniel to really liking him.
He's rather hammy as an actor but I like him. I'd like to give Jennifer a new hairdo....or use a different hair color on her. Sometimes she looks old and like she has a lot of grey hair.
It also amazes me that Sami will be a grandma! I remember her as a chubby little teenager, completely jealous of her sister, Carey.

Project Flying Chihuahuas
It warms my heart when animal rescue groups work together because too many times we try to get things done on our own. On December 2, 2009 Kinder Rescue in Los Angeles teamed up with the Humane Society for Greater Nashua in New Hampshire to save the lives of 25 Chihuahua's that were scheduled to be euthanized.
The plan came together when two guardian angels in the form of actress Katherine Heigl and her mother offered to underwrite the cost of getting the stray dogs to the rescue group 3,000 miles across the country.
HSGN executive director Karen Bill and Kinder Rescue director Laurel Kinder had been trying for the past three months to find a way to send homeless Chihuahuas back East. The tiny dogs are overflowing in Southern California animal shelters.
Chihuahua's became a very popular dog for backyard breeders and puppy mills in the area, when celebrities began toting them around in their handbags. Since the craze, thousands of them have been abandoned by their owners or by breeders who are unable to sell them.
The majority end up in animal shelters where they have become the second most common dog euthanized in Los Angeles. Only Pit bull dogs are euthanized more often.
The story is quite different in New Hampshire and in other parts of the northeast where the miniature dogs are scarce. Tammy DeVito, the Animal Care Director for HSGN said, "We have many people looking for them (Chihuahua's), but we never have them in the shelter."
Karen Bill reported to People Magazine, "It's a Hollywood-made crisis. From Beverly Hills Chihuahua to Paris Hilton, people see these dogs and think they're cute accessories, but they're not. They're living beings that need attention."
The mission called Project Flying Chihuahuas seemed like a winning plan, but as the two groups moved forward they realized the expense to transport the dogs would be out of their reach. They were about to scrap the idea when they found out about the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation. The organization supports animal rescue efforts and was named in honor of Katherine Heigl's late brother. It is run by her mother. Both women have been involved in the welfare of animals for several years.
The foundation offered $25,000 to fly the dogs from Los Angeles to Boston's Logan airport. The 25 Chihuahua's and Chihuahua mixes boarded an American Airlines flight on Wednesday, December 3rd.
All of the pint sized pups, which range in age from 1 to 4 years old, were evaluated by a veterinarian the next day.
By Friday morning HSGN reported having a "plethora" of interest from residents. Bill said, "The response has been phenomenal. We had more than 40 voicemails from families inquiring about these dogs. I can guarantee we'll have a line out the door when they are ready for adoption. Soon all of these dogs will have Hollywood-themed names, too, to tie them to their L.A. roots. We already have a Stallone, because he's a little tough guy."
Project Flying Chihuahua's will not be a solo mission. Another transport is tentatively scheduled in two weeks because so many people are interested.
Even though Hollywood has arrived on the doorstep of HSGN it didn't appear that the fame would be going to their heads. The group also took the time to remind New Hampshire residents that their shelter had lots of other great dogs that would be wonderful family companions.

Wells Fargo's CFO Says Fiscal Cliff Spurred Fourth-Quarter Loans
By Jan 11, 2013-
Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) Chief Financial Officer Tim Sloan said concerns about the fiscal cliff debate may have stimulated customers to get loans instead of damping economic activity.
The congressional effort to avert tax increases and spending cuts had a slightly positive effect as customers sought to secure money before lawmakers made a decision, Sloan said today during the San Francisco-based lender's quarterly earnings conference call.

I have a 2002 Buick Rendezvous. Where do I start with the amount of parts I have replaced in it. It was having starting issues and we took it to the dealership. They replaced the starter. We then got stuck again (wouldn't start) they replaced the ignition switch. Another starting problem took it again and they replaced the battery. Next thing needed replacing wheel barrings. Starting problem a couple of months later took it to a friend said the wires to the battery were severely coroded and figured dealership ripped me off so replaced all wires to battery. A month later wouldn't start. Shop said needed a fuel filter and it hasn't been replaced ever. He also said that because of this the fuel pump could go bad anytime and that costs $900. Is this true? Is this odd for a car to have this many problems? I have spent almost $1000 on this car in the last 7 months. Now the window is broken. I went to wind the window up and it wouldn't go up all the way and so I winded it all the way down and tried to wind it up again and it wouldn't go. What is a fair cost to fix this (automatic windows) I don't think it is the motor. Could it be off the track? Help Please!
have the same problem?

In cemeteries throughout Australia, gravestones hint at our history – tales of early settlement, unsolved murders, love lost, mystery, tragedy, health epidemics, scandal and sacrifice. Grave Tales reveals more than the headstone can ever convey by tracing the tumultuous journeys that lead to these final resting places.
Grave Tales Brisbane Vol. 1 visits five Brisbane cemeteries and features people who willingly or unwilling, were participants in events that made local and national headlines. They may have lived in the same suburbs, streets, and even the same houses as exist now, or unexpectantly came to rest in a Brisbane cemetery.
Meet the train driver who died on the Samford Range with 14 of his passengers; the working girl who caught the Pearl ferry and perished in the river; the Jack the Ripper suspect who had 20 wives, mostly all at once; the only woman ever hanged in Queensland; a boxer who should have been world champ but was a victim of the race card; a soldier who wanted to die with Harry 'Breaker' Morant; and more.
Journalists, Helen Goltz and Chris Adams have between them spent many decades in the print and electronic media working for network television, radio, and state and community newspapers. With a joint love of history, digging for a good story and storytelling, they have collaborated to create a series of books that brings our history to life again.

In 1861, men are enlisting in the Texas Mounted Rifles to keep the land free from Indian raids. There are larger conflicts, however. Texas has seceeded from the union while war brews between the North and the South. Sam Houston Cloud has just joined the Texas Rifles. But he is deeply disturbed by the suffering he sees on all sides: White and Indian, Texan and immigrant. Elmer Kelton has an amazing talent for sweeping away stereotypes and filling his novels with unique, unforgettable men and women who know the ways of the frontier. Audie Award-winning narrator George Guidall's performance is superb.

Pre-Purchase Evaluation Process
2. Evaluate eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, and skin using appropriate tools. Pay particular attention to the joints, feet, and legs of performance horses.
3. Repeat step 2.
4. Draw blood for initial blood counts of the horse at rest. Evaluate profile for liver and kidney function, red and white cell count, muscle enzymes, and any other checks the buyer requests.
5. Weigh the horse. Measure the horse. Document markings.
6. Move to the 100-foot, firm-surfaced, covered longing pen. Longe horse in a specific gait sequence for 12 to 15 minutes, or longer if the horse is an endurance prospect. Listen to heart and lungs again. Draw second blood sample to measure red blood cell counts and hemoglobin, comparing the at exercise profile to the at rest profile.
7. Conduct flexion tests on all joints, grading each joint on each limb separately. The horse is trotted from and to the veterinarian after holding the isolated joint for one minute. The veterinarian will note a score of 0 to 5 at five points of the trot cycle, resulting in an ideal (but rare) score of 00000 (a sound horse).
8. Reattach the longe line and send the horse around again for another 10 to 12 minutes in a specific gait sequence to gauge soundness during extended work.
9. If appropriate, saddle or harness the horse and watch a performance sessio...

Take Off the Edge
In the September 2004 Western Horseman print feature "Defensive Care," Indiana equine practitioner Timothy Bartlett, D.V.M., offers advice on preventing lower-leg injuries in performance horses. Two of his tips are to properly condition and warm up your horse.
Longeing is a common technique used to work the fresh off horses and to get horses in shape. What you might not realize, however, is that out-of-control longeing - whether the horse is on or off a line - can cause body misalignments, such as canted shoulders and hips, which strains leg tissues and puts a horse at risk for losing his balance and injuring himself.
In this online bonus, Bartlett explains how to bit up your horse and work him in a controlled manner from the ground. His technique also enhances your handle on a horse when you're ready to ride.
Saddle your horse and bridle him with snaffle bit. Place a rein on each bit ring and tie the reins to the saddle horn at a point they make light contact with your horse's mouth. This encourages him to flex at the poll, round his back and drive off his hindquarters for collected movement.
Next, run a 30-foot lariat through the left bit ring, over your horse's poll and down through the right bit ring, and snap it to itself, as shown in Photos 1 and 2. This configuration enhances your control, plus helps keep your horse balanced as he moves, thereby reducing strains and injury.
Longe your horse in a safe enclosure, such as a corral or round pen, b...

Pastoral 2016
Greetings from Perth!
Written by Rev (Dr) Prabhudas Koshy Sunday, 10 July 2016
Dear brethren,
Greetings from Perth, where I have been ministering God's Word, together with my wife Carolyn, to the brethren of Bible-Presbyterian Church of Western Australia. The church camp ended on Thursday afternoon. The study of the Word was based on the theme, "Sanctified and Meet for the Master's Use", taken from 2 Timothy 2:21. The Lord has helped me to preach altogether 9 sermons on the theme in the camp, including the sermon during the last Lord's Day service. I am personally blessed to have an opportunity to study, understand, and preach on that particular theme – firstly for my own sanctification and profitable use in the Lord's Hand, and secondly for all the people of God gathered in the BPCWA Church Camp. Carolyn, who taught the children during the camp on the same theme, also rejoices in His enabling grace that strengthened her to serve Him.
Here in the camp, we also had the company of the Cho family (Wai Mun, Jolyne and Benjamin), and Sis Elizabeth Poon from our church, and a couple of families from Truth B-P Church, Singapore. Bro Benjamin Cho will be enrolling in a university here to pursue his studies; so we thank God that he can find pastoral care and church fellowship in BPCWA.
I write this letter on Friday morning from the church's guest house (named Jeremiah House), where we will be staying till we return to Singapore on Tuesday (12th July). I have several more scheduled programmes of teaching God's Word to fulfil before I return - a family seminar (with three sessions over two days), a combined fellowship gathering, and a Church Session retreat. I am grateful to know that you have been praying for our ministries here earnestly. We too pray daily for all the ministries of our church and all of you.
I take this time to convey the greetings of Rev & Mrs Joseph Poon, together with the brethren of BPCWA, to all of you. God willing, I will be with you during this Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting.
Meanwhile, may the following exhortations strengthen you in your pursuit of God. I am sharing them that you may be further encouraged to seek a closer walk with the Lord.
Yearn for God
Cultivate a deep desire for God like the psalmist who said, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee" (Psalm 73:25). The psalmist, by using a very persuasive Hebrew device of a question and an assertion, here expresses his deep and firm love for God. He is supremely satisfied in God. He desires no one more than the LORD whom he has been trusting. Such should be the sentiment of every child of God towards God.
By asking "Whom have I in heaven but thee?", the psalmist exalts God above all the angels and the souls of the departed who are in God's presence. None of the angels – not even the archangel – is worthy of such complete trust and adoration which the psalmist has for God.
Similar sentiments of affection and adulation towards the matchless greatness and glory of the exalted God of heaven have been confessed by many of His servants. Moses said, "O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might" (Deuteronomy 3:24)? King Solomon testified, "LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart" (1 Kings 8:23). Similarly, Job affirmed in the face of mistrust and false accusations, "Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high" (Job 16:19). The psalmist also openly sang, "For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD" (Psalm 89:6)?
Truly, "great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods" (1 Chronicles 16:25). May we, too, "praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven" (Psalm 148:13).
The unparalleled greatness and goodness of our God also cause the psalmist to unequivocally declare, "there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." He would go to no one but his God for the help he needs. He is assured that the God of heaven is very gracious and will condescend to aid him in all his difficulties and struggles. The matchless greatness and goodness of God make His child crave for His presence and support. May we truly say, "The Lord is with me; I am satisfied in Him.
Others may depart, but you must draw unto the Lord
The apostle Peter said, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life" (John 6:68b). These were the words of Peter to the Lord Jesus Christ at a time when "many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him" (John 6:66). The Lord Jesus then confronted the twelve: "Will ye also go away" (John 6:67)? It is in answer to this query that Peter, with his characteristic fervour and promptness, declared: "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."
Many followers of Christ had been offended at His doctrine. They used their own feeble sense, without the aid of the Holy Spirit, to judge His wondrous words of life. So they ended up saying, "This is a hard saying; who can hear it?" (John 6:60). They were not saying that His saying was hard to understand, but that it was hard for them to agree with or accept. His words were displeasing to their unbelieving hearts. They took offence at His statement: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life, in you" (John 6:53). They misrepresented His doctrine by critically looking at the "letter" of His profound saying, without perceiving the "spirit" of His words. How rash and foolish of them to choose to leave Him immediately! If only they had a little more patience to tarry with Christ!
Upon their departure, Jesus turned His attention to the twelve. The sudden departure of the multitude must have troubled the disciples. However, Jesus asked the bewildered disciples a probing question: "Will ye also go away?" He tested the genuineness of their decision to stay with Him. He wanted them to affirm their faith in Him and renew their allegiance to Him. The Lord compelled none to remain with Him against their will. He wanted each of them to make his choice whether to follow Him or not. Yet even among the twelve, there was one who would leave the Lord in order to betray Him (cf. John 6:70, 71).
When faced with the departures and betrayals of nominal Christians, we should not be unduly alarmed. Like Peter, we should seize the opportunity to reaffirm our faith and commitment to Christ. We too must boldly make our confession: "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." Let us also have a firm resolution to adhere to Christ, our only Saviour and Lord. We ought to follow our Lord even when others leave Him. We seek no other companion more than our Saviour and Lord.

PORTSMOUTH — It's been half a century since the worst submarine accident in the country's history claimed the lives of 129 men off the coast of New England.
But the sinking of the USS Thresher — which occurred 50 years ago this month — has carved a lasting legacy on the Seacoast, where residents will gather once again to pay tribute to victims of the disaster at sea.
Memorial ceremonies will take place in both Kittery, Maine, and Portsmouth this weekend to mark the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Thresher, a fast-attack nuclear submarine that was lost in the Atlantic Ocean on April 10, 1963.
Activities will be begin Saturday with a large memorial service in Portsmouth High School's auditorium. The event is being coordinated by U.S. Submarine Veterans Incorporated Thresher Base, a group founded in 1989 with the purpose of perpetuating the memories of the men who died onboard the ship.
Thresher Base member Kevin Galeaz, who is helping to organize the event, said at least 63 crew members will have representation at the ceremony. In addition, submarine veterans will be there representing eight other victims.
Surviving relatives will first gather at 11 a.m. to share their family histories. Galeaz said storyboards will be on display to help to provide some of the rich details of the crew members' lives. They contain intimate letters, family pictures and other remembrances.
A ceremony will begin inside the auditorium at 1 p.m. New Hampshire's two senators are expected to attend, as well as Vice Admiral Michael J. Connor, commander of the U.S. Navy's submarine forces.
A private wreath laying ceremony will follow inside Prescott Park. A reception for as many as 1,000 attendees will then take place in the high school cafeteria, catered by Flag Hill Catering & Events in Lee, which is owned by Thresher Base member Frank Reinhold, Jr.
There are 13 public memorials to the victims of the USS Thresher disaster, including one outside the Albacore museum in Portsmouth, but none in Kittery — the community that was home to many of the thousands of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard workers who constructed the vessel.
The dead also included 14 civilians who were local to Kittery and the region, according to Gary Beers, a member of the Thresher Memorial Project Group, a volunteer organization that has been working to establish a memorial in Kittery.
"There were literally thousands of shipyard workers and residents who built that boat," Beers said. "We think that her loss was a defining moment in American history, period."
Beers, the group's liaison to the Kittery Town Council, said many submariners and their families also lived in Kittery while serving on the Thresher. The boat was technically homeported in Groton, Conn., but from the time it was commissioned in 1961 until the time it was lost, it never reached there.
The ship was built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and deployed several times, but because it was the lead ship in its design class, it returned to the shipyard after every deployment.
Faulty piping was blamed for causing the Thresher to sink below crush depth on April 10, 1963, while it was conducting a test trial off the coast of Cape Cod, accompanied by the USS Skylark. The men who perished included crew members, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard officer observers, shipyard civilian workers and contractor technicians.
The Thresher catastrophe led the Navy to establish its SUBSAFE safety program, which has been credited with preventing a similar disaster in the five decades since the Thresher plummeted under the ocean.
On Sunday, Beers and Thresher Memorial Project Group will establish Kittery's first public memorial dedicated to the memory of those lost in the accident. They will dedicate a new 129-foot flagpole to the victims, located in center of Memorial Circle. The event will take place during a 50th anniversary memorial ceremony, which begins at 9 a.m.
The new flagpole was manufactured by US Flag and Flagpole Supply in Wimberley, Texas. It was assembled Tuesday and erected Wednesday. The process was made more complicated when rock was discovered underneath the site; however, engineers were able to design a foundation to hold the pole upright in time for the ceremony.
The group's larger plan for the site is still being considered by the Kittery Planning Board. The final design calls for a 25-foot circular black granite base encircling the flagpole, along with granite block signs.
The group is also working toward establishing a memorial park near the town hall. It would contain a "Thresher Circle of Honor" and courtyard, inlaid with commemorative tiles noting some of the major contributors to the project. A large granite block with a brass plaque would hold the names of the crew.
Within the town of Kittery, some 90 contributors have emerged to support the memorial efforts, donating close to $60,000, Beers said. The group has raised about $138,000, nearly meeting its $143,000 goal.
Reflecting on the significance of this year's anniversary, Beers said the Thresher tragedy serves as an example of self-sacrifice, as well as a reminder of the stringent standards required to maintain safety on Navy ships.
"We think commemorating that significance in our history, as a tribute to those men, in a symbolic fashion, is fundamentally the right thing to do," he said.

NorCal MLS
It is often said that Sonoma is the new Napa. Now it seems Napa is the new Napa. Meaning the city of Napa, a place that was once seen as all too easy to bypass and which is currently enjoying a full-blown, full-bodied indeed, renaissance.
Back in July the Chronicle declared the city of Napa "a destination in its own right" citing fine restaurants, new luxury hotels, winery tasting rooms and wine bars, boutique shopping, an upscale public market and a San Antonio-style promenade along the Napa River as evidence.
It may have been Copia, the ambitious wine and food center near to the city's center, that set the ball rolling, but the fact that it recently declared bankruptcy doesn't appear to have slowed Napa's momentum.
A cover line on this month's issue of Diablo Magazine seals Napa city's image: "Napa City Gets Hip" it announces and goes on to detail why "this is definitely not your grandpa's Napa".
Attractions include the Oxbow Public Market, host to several Bay Area purveyors of fine fare including the Fatted Calf charcuterie and butcher, Three Twins Organic Ice Cream and the Hog Island Oyster Company.
And there are several acclaimed dining spots, including Angele Restaurant and Bar, and Ubuntu, a vegetarian restaurant and yoga retreat — also the the darling of New York Times food writer Frank Bruni.
Had we been smart, we would of course have been investigating real-estate deals in Napa city before its rejuvenation. Still, a perusal of current listings throws up this cute looking 1898 Colonial at 396 Brown Street, located close to the river and walkable to downtown — $749,000, white picket fence and flagpole included. Or, for something quite different, there's this 4/3.5 newly built Craftsman-style home in the Browns Valley neighborhood — further away from the city center — which has been on the MLS for 88 days, priced at $1,999,000.
Buying a home in Napa city now, you may be late to the party, but at least it's in full swing.

Chicago In this city where the skyscraper was born, it is thriving like never before.
Luxury condominium towers and office buildings that climb 600 feet and more are sprouting up all over downtown. Along the Chicago River, the Trump International Hotel and Tower is inching its way up to a planned 92 stories.
Plans are in the works for a nearby 124-story skyscraper, the Fordham Spire, that would knock the Sears Tower from its perch as the tallest building in the United States.
Since 2000, no fewer than 40 buildings at least 50 stories high have been built, are under construction or are being planned.
It's a surge in high-rise construction that hasn't been seen here since the 1960s and 1970s when the Sears Tower, John Hancock Center and other buildings helped give the city one of the most distinctive skylines in the world.
And while there is a flurry of high-rise construction elsewhere in the United States, particularly in New York, Miami and Las Vegas, the tallest of the tall are going up in Chicago. Of the three tallest buildings under construction, two are here, according to Emporis, an independent research group that catalogues high rise construction around the world.
"Out my window there are two, three, four, five new high-rises under construction or just completed in the last year and a half, and they've just announced another 80-story building," said Jim Fenters, who has lived on the 51st floor of a 54-story building overlooking Grant Park since 1979.
One factor that has fed the construction frenzy is the attitude at City Hall. Chris Carley, developer of the Fordham Spire, remembers the time several years ago when proposals for high-rises would prompt city officials to ask about knocking off 10 or more floors. Today, the official attitude is reversed.
"I remember at least two (planning and development) staff members saying 'Can't you make it taller?"' Chicago architect David Haymes says about city discussions for a planned condominium tower.
In exchange for allowing developers to go higher, the city gets buildings that are a lot smaller at their base, allowing more open space and light than in cities crammed with shorter, wider buildings.
That's not to say there aren't concerns, particularly since these projects will cast long shadows.
Still, more than a century after the world's first skyscraper went up in 1885, Chicagoans remain enamored with tall buildings.

The Chelsea Flower Show 2016 – Our Favourites and Our Own Contribution…
This year, many of the gardens have been designed around the theme of peace and tranquility, creating an oasis of mindful greenery in the middle of busy London.
Jekka McVicar's exhibition, The Modern Apothecary, for St John's Hospice is the perfect example of this theme, designed as a healing ground for body and soul. The garden features only beneficial flowers and herbs such as rosemary and fennel in its display, perfectly framed by the sound of the incorporated trickling fountain.
There's a bit of fun to be had as well, with the Harrods British Eccentrics garden with its spinning trees and the Antithesis of Sarcophagi, a concrete box garden which can only be viewed from a tiny peep-hole in the wall. The Royals were clearly having fun themselves – they delighted in seeing the new pink and green chrysanthemum named after their daughter Charlotte, with William pertly asking the National Chrysanthemum Society, 'Can you spell Chrysanthemum? I can't even say it.'
But our favourite exhibition of them all? One of the most fun ones in our books, as it alludes to our own creation this year, 'A Garden for Yorkshire'. Bringing a slice of traditional Yorkshire to the capital, this garden is based around the York Minister's Great East Window, celebrating the beautiful colours and history of this large stain glass window. So where do we come into this? Well, we've created our very own piece of the British Yorkshire countryside in our London restaurant with an exciting, limited edition addition to our menu - our incredible new potted plant Yorkshire Pudding! Inspired by the Chelsea Flower show, our new Yorkshire Pud is our most creative one to date.
Stick your fork into this incredible Yorkshire Pudding and prepare yourself for a whole world of mouth–watering, garden delights. This pudding allows you to truly have your cake and eat it too this year, as it is, in fact, London's first edible flower pot, in honour of the Chelsea Flower Show. A moist, delectable Yorkshire Pudding stands as the pot of your taste bud's dreams, with asparagus, baby leek, carrot and a British radish nestled inside. Bound together with black olive 'soil' and decorated with a delicate, edible flower, this new yorkie treat is the most delicious way to celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show this year. So why not book your place at London's best edible garden show this year?

Scene from the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay (file photo) (AFP) April 20, 2006 -- The U.S. Defense Department has -- for the first time -- identified hundreds of detainees held at the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
The list was posted on a Pentagon website in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the Associated Press. The detainees were among the first swept up in the U.S. global war on terrorism for suspected links to Al-Qaeda or the Taliban.
The list contains the names, identification numbers, and nationalities of 558 detainees whose status as enemy combatants was reviewed by special military tribunals in 2004 and 2005. Many have been held at the U.S. prison for more than four years. Only a handful have faced formal charges.
In all, the detainees on the list came from 41 countries. The largest number -- 132 -- came from Saudi Arabia. Afghanistan followed with 125, then Yemen with 107.

9 Weeks to Better Options Trading: An Options Pricing Primer
Veteran options trader Steve Smith breaks down the concepts of implied volatility and time decay.
Now let's look at how historical volatility can be used to avoid the "options don't work" argument put forth by naysayers who get frustrated when they make an options bet, are correct on the direction of the underlying, yet don't make money.
Keeping with Salesforce.com, ahead of its February 24 earnings report, implied volatility climbed up to 50%, which was well above the then 32% rate at which the 30-day historical was running. This was because the options market was pricing in the 7% price move that the shares had averaged over the past four earnings reports.
The down-and-dirty way to gauge what the options market is pricing is to look at the straddle and revert the IV back to the mean. (I will elaborate further on this in an upcoming piece on trading earnings and other special situations.) An increase in implied volatility ahead of an event is simply the expression of a higher probability of a larger-than-usual price move within a given time frame. In this sense, an increase in implied volatility is an artificial expansion of time. In other words, what could happen over a long period of time is now being priced into a shorter period of time.
Understanding where IV stands relative to HV, and why it is at the current level is crucial to valuing current option prices and anticipating future moves. If a volatility-inducing event is anticipated -- like with an earnings report -- implied volatility will revert back to the mean after the event. But if there is unanticipated news -- like a surprise FDA ruling on a drug -- IV will spike. So regardless of what happened, one should expect that IV on Salesforce.com options would revert toward the mean of around 35% following the report. This means one would need at least a 6% price move to break even. (Note: This is not 7% because the options would still retain some time value. This is part of an extended discussion beyond the scope of this article.)

SolFocus First to Complete CPV Installation at 3MW ISFOC Solar Power Plant
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and PUERTOLLANO, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SolFocus and ISFOC today announced the completion of SolFocus' concentrator PV (CPV) installation at the Institute of Concentration Photovoltaic Systems (ISFOC) 3MW municipal power production facility. SolFocus is the first of three companies to complete its contract with ISFOC in the first phase of the project. SolFocus has installed two distinct CPV power plants: 200kW at Puertollano and 300kW at Almoguera. The ISFOC facility has performed initial testing and analysis confirming that in SolFocus' first commercial deployment of its flagship product, the SF-1000P CPV panel, each panel is performing as designed at specified power levels.
The ISFOC project was created both as a municipal power plant and a proving ground for CPV technology. The original contract was awarded to SolFocus in late 2006, shortly after the creation of ISFOC as a power- producing testing facility for high-efficiency CPV technology. ISFOC sought the most promising CPV technologies approaching the electrical generation market, and selected SolFocus in advance of commercial production. SolFocus now enters the industrial, commercial, and utility markets having fine-tuned its design and technology development to emphasize reliability and overall system performance at the ISFOC installation. This month, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved the SF-1000P CPV panel as the very first CPV product listed for commercial deployment in the state of California,"SolFocus has done an excellent job of progressing its technology from R&D into commercially-ready product," commented Dr. Pedro Banda, Director General of ISFOC. "While we are just now beginning to evaluate performance results from the installed systems, initial results look excellent and validate our belief that the high-efficiency capability of CPV technology is going to provide high energy yields."
"Working with ISFOC has allowed us to deploy our technology faster and in a more supportive environment than would have otherwise been possible," commented SolFocus President Mark Crowley. "This collaborative environment between developer and supplier has benefited the CPV industry greatly, and is evident in the excellent performance results demonstrated thus far by our product."
About SolFocus
The SolFocus mission is to enable solar energy generation at a Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) competitive with traditional fossil fuel sources. To achieve this goal, SolFocus has developed leading concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) technology which combines high-efficiency solar cells (approaching 40%) and advanced optics to provide solar energy solutions which are scalable, dependable and capable of delivering on the promise of clean, low-cost, renewable energy. SolFocus is headquartered in Mountain View, California with European operations headquartered in Madrid, Spain, and manufacturing in Mesa, Arizona as well as with manufacturing partners in India and China.
About ISFOC
The Instituto de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos de Concentracion is the result of the R&D plan promoted by the Department of Education and Science from the Castilla La Mancha Government and the Institute of Solar Energy from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. The project is financed by the Ministry of Education and Science. The headquarters, laboratories and some of the ISFOC pilot photovoltaic plants are being built in Puertollano, where all the Institute activities will be coordinated. Establishing in Castilla La Mancha the main vehicle for the development of CPV technologies is our chief goal. In order to generate key knowledge on this technology, ISFOC is executing a number of power plants (up to 3 MW in total) incorporating different concentrator technologies which are becoming available in the market. ISFOC has become a national and world reference in CPV and with the infrastructure installed after the two year establishment period, ambitious R&D projects will be undertaken.

Coming into the 2012 season, New York Giants' TE Brandon Myers had 32 career receptions in three seasons with the Oakland Raiders. However, he had a breakout season with 79 catches in his final season with the Raiders. However, the Raiders didn't see a need to keep him, so they let him go to the Giants in free agency.
Myers had one of the quietest breakout seasons in recent memory. He was having a decent season all year round, but wasn't really noticed until his performance at home against the Cleveland Browns where he caught 14 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. Even then, many people didn't know he already accumulated 69 catches in the season and was on pace for 92 receptions.
The Giants feel they were able to scoop a valuable and productive player without breaking the bank. Former Giants' TE Martellus Bennett had a solid season with the Giants, catching a career-high 55 passes and a career-high five touchdowns. QB Eli Manning doesn't rely too much on his tight ends, so Bennett's production was a plus, especially when WR Hakeem Nicks was hurt for the majority of the year.
It'll be interesting to see how Myers performs in the Giants' offense. It is highly unlikely he'll match the production from his 2012 season with the Raiders. Simply put, as I've stated before, Manning doesn't throw the ball a lot to tight ends. However, if Myers can be a reliable target over the middle for three to five catches a game, the Giants will be getting their money's worth.
Myers could be a receiving weapon that adds to opposing defenses' misery. That can only be a good thing for the Giants.

I don't think you're capturing the quality of photos your camera is capable of. Using all of your macro filters at the same time really makes it look unappealing, like you're using really cheap equipment. What happens if you use only the +4 filter?

London Olympics Hockey: Batra should resign for misleading nation, says ex-coach Carvalho
New Delhi: Former national coach Joaquim Carvalho on Monday asked Hockey India official Narinder Batra to quit his post for misleading the nation and vindictively keeping players, who took part in the rebel World Series Hockey, out of Olympic Games team selection.
"I want Batra to resign as he misled the nation over the participation of WSH players in the Olympics saying they would not be allowed by FIH (International Hockey Federation). Then how are some Pakistan players who were seen in WSH, like Rehan Butt, taking part in the London Games," Carvalho said from Mumbai.
Carvalho`s tirade came a day after India lost its fourth straight game in Group B to fellow Asian outfit South Korea and will now have to fight to avoid the wooden spoon in the 12-team tournament in the minor placings match.
Carvalho, a top half back in his playing days and a member of the 1984 Olympic Games team, also asked Batra to resign from his HI post for his "vindictive" move to keep out WSH players from selection of the Indian squad for the London Olympics.
"When the Indian team did not qualify for the Beijing Games in 2008 through the qualifiers in Santiago, Chile, Batra was among the first to ask for my head as coach. Now I say, he should resign for misleading the nation over the WSH players issue. He was vindictive towards WSH players.
"WSH players like Arjun Halappa, Prabhjot Singh and Rajpal Singh have still something left in them to be part of the Indian team. Why were they not considered for selection. Olympic Games is not kid`s party, the pressure is huge right from the time you check into the Games Village. I say it from experience," said Carvalho.
Carvalho said the very fact that some of the top Pakistan players like Butt, Wasim Ahmad and Shakeel Abbasi, are now representing their country in the Games after paying a fine to their federation for playing in the WSH, showed that Halappa, Prabhjot and Rajpal should have been considered.
"FIH had said that those players who had signed up for WSH before March 31, 2011, can play for their countries and it`s obvious they have stuck to this stand," said the outspoken Carvalho.
Carvalho also slammed penalty corner expert Sandeep Singh for his flop show at the Olympics and said his decision to leave out the drag-flicker during his reign as coach has now been vindicated.
"He has performed miserably. He is capable of scoring goals only against the weaker teams. He had scored 16 goals in the qualifiers. He has been a total flop. I had dropped him when I was coach and there was a hue and cry," said the former half back.
Sandeep has scored only one goal, against New Zealand, via his dreaded penalty corner drag-flicks at the Olympics and his failure to find the mark has hurt the Indian campaign.
Carvalho also backed Indian coach Michael Nobbs`s views that the Indian players appeared happy to have made it to the Games after missing the Beijing Olympics four years ago, the first-ever time the country failed to appear at the mega event since 1928.
"It appeared that way, they were happy to have qualified for the Olympics," said Carvalho.
Incidentally, some players like Shivendra Singh and Tushar Khandekar were playing their first Olympics though they have been on the scene for a long time.
Carvalho was also full of praise for the performance of Pakistan who are in the hunt for the semifinals.
"Pakistan have always troubled Australia. Even in 1984 when Australia and we were the top two seeds in Los Angeles, it was Pakistan who spoilt Australia`s gold medal hopes by beating them in the semis and then went on to win the title. This happened after they were nearly knocked out of the league stage after drawing with a weak team like Kenya," the former international recalled.

In a stunning setback to LGBT rights in the world's second most populous nation and largest democracy, India's Supreme Court today reinstated an 1861 law banning gay sex. The decision reverses a landmark 2009 ruling by the Delhi High Court that found the colonial-era law unconstitutional.
Gay sex is once again a criminal offense in India, punishable by up to ten years in prison. It's estimated that between 14% and 17% of the world's LGB population lives in India.
The 2009 ruling stated that a section of the country's penal code that forbids "carnal intercourse against the order of nature with man, woman, or animal" did not apply to same-sex couples and other consenting adults. But the Supreme Court rejected that decision, stating that the law remains constitutional and only Parliament can change it. According to the New York Times, that won't happen anytime soon.
There is almost no chance that Parliament will act where the Supreme Court did not, advocates and opponents of the law agreed. And with the Bharatiya Janata Party, a conservative Hindu nationalist group, appearing in ascendancy before national elections in the spring, the prospects of any legislative change happening for years is highly unlikely, analysts said.
Anjali Gopalan, founder of a charity that sued to overturn the 1861 law, said she was "shocked" by the ruling.
"This is taking many, many steps back. The Supreme Court has not just let down the L.G.B.T. community," Ms. Gopalan said, referring to gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, "but the constitution of India."
Religious groups, which lobbied the court heavily, were jubilant. "There is no space for homosexuality in our social setup," said Mohammad Abdul Rahim Quraishi of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board. "It is a sin, it is a heinous crime." K. Radhakrishnan of Trust God Ministries, an anti-gay Christian group, called homosexuality an import from the West that "has polluted the minds of young Indians."
