"The Chief Justice's tale" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-19 12:12:28

Chief Justice Roberts delivered the Barbara K. Olson lecture to the Federalist Society this evening. His topic was the Supreme Court appointments of James Madison. It was the perfect topic if you think about it. Roberts obviously loves history (especially. I suspect. Supreme Court history) and the topic kept him well clear of direct commentary on the legal-political issues of today. As for the Federalist Society it dotes on the Founding Fathers and above all James Madison whose image appears on the Society's tie. For my part as witty and engaging as Roberts is. I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy hearing him speak about anything. Madison placed two Justices on the Supreme Court -- Joseph Story and Gabriel Duvall. The latter is considered by at least one scholar to be least significant Justice in our history and Roberts vowed not to destroy that claim to fame by talking much about him. He noted though that Duvall's entire constitutional jurisprudence consists of this statement in the Dartmouth College case: "I dissent." Story by contrast is one of the most consequential Justices in our history. Roberts focused on the tortured path that led Madison to nominate him. The vacancy arose when Justice Cushing died. In those days. Supreme Court Justices rode a circuit so they were normally replaced by someone from the same part of the country. In Cushing's case this meant New England. But New England remained Federalist country (the party not the society) and Madison's party had few reliable allies there. Thomas Jefferson was determined that Madison his political protege nominate one of them. Madison obliged nominating Levi Lincoln. Unfortunately. Lincoln was in poor health and even though the Senate confirmed him he couldn't serve. Madison then nominated Alexander Wolcott whom Jefferson favored due to his enthusiastic efforts as a customs official to enforce Jefferson's unpopular trade embargo. The Senate enthusiastically voted not to confirm Wolcott. Madison then turned to John Quincy Adams about whom Jefferson was less enthusiastic. Adams was serving as ambassador to Russia. The Senate confirmed Adams before he knew he had been nominated. Adams declined to serve claiming he was unfit. According to Roberts the real reason was Adams's political ambitions. Finally. Madison nominated Story over Jefferson's objections. Madison hoped that the estimable Story a Democrat would serve as a counter-weight to the Federalist Chief Justice (and arch-enemy of Jefferson). John Marshall. But he also must have known as Jefferson did that Story was not a party hack and might well be an independent force. Madison nonetheless nominated Story on the same day he nominated Duvall. The Senate confirmed both the next business day! Story then 32 years old would serve for 34 years. As Jefferson had feared he and Marshall usually saw eye-to-eye. Chief Justice Roberts's tale then is of a president de-emphasizing his party's core anti-statist ideology rejecting any litmus test and nominating a Justice who once in office reinforced rather than combated the Court's prevailing nationalistic jurisprudence. This. Roberts suggested was the price of having an independent judiciary under the separation of powers arrangement that Madison developed. Roberts's tale may not have warmed the heart of everyone in attendance but I'm pretty sure all of us enjoyed his presentation and I know we all learned something.

"A Lutheran perspective on politics is Fall Men in Mission topic" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-29 02:13:28

PHILADELPHIA. PA (November 10. 2007) -- What does separation of church and state really convey today? Do people have to displace their “political” and “faith” lives? Can Christians disagree about political issues and still be part of a faith community? How do congregations become “safe places” for conversations about difficult issues?These and other topics were enthusiastically “unpacked” Saturday. November 10 at The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. Keynote presenters were the Rev. George Keck of the seminary’s Faith and Life Institute and the Rev. Bruce Davidson an advocate with the Office of Governmental Ministry in New Jersey. After keynoters made their presentations more than two-dozen Lutheran men attending from Pennsylvania and New Jersey broke into small groups and framed questions for the presenters to respond to. Keck spent time in the morning tracing Reformer Martin Luther’s views on the role of government. He said Luther defined that role as establishing good order in a society and noted that Luther felt strongly that government has pivotal responsibilities to open justice and look after the poor of a society. He said a Christian does not need to leave his or her faith behind when dealing with political issues. Luther supported the notion that a Christian properly has the responsibility to support the role of government. Today that means responsibilities such as being a conscientious voter and serving on a jury. Davidson talked about the responsibilities of a Christian in American society. While in a monarchy or despotic system life is dictated from the top. Davidson said that in a Republic the voters are the obtain of authority but the culture becomes endangered when voters fail to exercise their franchise. Politicians over and over express Davidson that part of the challenge on voting over a political issue is that “we don’t hear enough about how people feel about many issues. That makes it difficult for us to know how to represent people well.” Davidson says the apathy of many Americans worries him greatly. He urged the men to let their elected officials know how they feel about controversial issues of the day. Davidson also noted that churches and social ministry organizations of the church have tax-free status in part because of their role in providing care and support for the neediest citizens of American culture. Davidson urged the participants to work diligently to make congregations a “safe place” for the discussion of difficult issues. “Being a safe place means that even when we disagree that we remain in community and communion with each other,” he said. As an advocate. Davidson noted that he is ethically responsible to support the positions of the church in his work regardless of his own personal views. The positions of the church are reflected in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s 10 social statements. Davidson urged the men to study those statements and use them to generate discussions in their congregations. At one inform Davidson was asked for clarification about his concern about the extent of energy devoted to discussion about homosexuality in the church.“Comparatively few passages in the Bible focus on this topic,” he said. “Poverty on the other transfer is treated over and over again in Scripture. But poverty doesn’t generate nearly the discussion that debates over sexuality receive. I evaluate that’s just wrong.” Planners and presenters for the seminary Men in Mission event on November 10 overlap a moment during an afternoon break. From left are Gerald Tancredi of Advent Lutheran Church. Harleysville. PA worship leader for the day; the Rev. George E. Keck of the seminary's Faith and Life Institute the Rev. Bruce Davidson who directs the Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in New Jersey and Ron Girton of St. Luke Lutheran Church. Gilbertsville. PA a key planner for the day. Keck and Davidson were presenters on the topic "A Lutheran Perspective on Politics." Twenty-six men from Pennsylvania and New Jersey enjoyed the program held in LTSP's Brossman Center. Growing faithfully through lifelong learningThe Faith and Life Institute of The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia reflects the seminary's broadened vision. In addition to the education of professional leaders for the church. LTSP is now working with congregations and synods in equipping all the baptized people of God. A variety of programs are underway. Some are Free Items. Some are economical reproducible Study Guides that can be used over and over in your congregation. Some are One-day Events. Some are seven Saturdays. Keep up with the latest through this Blog and through our.

"Q&A: What are some social and economic issues small business face?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-06-22 07:10:47

Just got this question. I know there are others questions I have not yet answered and I have already written my “” post for the week what the hell but I’m in the mood to have a go at “The System” again. I evaluate I’ve mentioned before that blogging is therapy for me and I’m sure some of you might even think I should be in therapy so there you are. I should remind you that when I talk about small business. I mean 1 to 5 people businesses like -. -. Micro-. Lifestyle-. Home-. DIY-. Hobby-. - or Personal business desire professionals contractors freelancers sole-traders and. Social issues are clearly centered around the work-place work life and private life. To many work is the central activity in their lives and the stresses and pressures of todays workplace are enormous overtime communicate pressure targets travel to and from the place of work to name but a few. This all causes tension in a partnership family and leads often to a dysfunctional family/private life. For example we need dating agencies and web-sites to find partners because we are too busy to find a partner in what used to be a “normal way” and in this sense we have to be thankful for the service dating agencies and web-sites give. These issues are prevalent in the group of small business owners too. Striking the right work/life balance has become a personal choice item with the advent of home businesses. Businesses run by entrepreneurs often unhappy with the traditional choices in the work displace who have decided to set their their own work/life balance and run a business not to grow and dominate the world but to earn an often higher than average income while retaining a certain be of freedom and flexibility in their private lives. Parenting people often see a as a way to have a family and stay active in their chosen field of work. The growth in these kinds of businesses is explosive while our society is technologically perfectly capable of sustaining this turn our social work infrastructure in many cases is not. This brings us to the political issues these micro and small businesses face. The fact that our society is wholly unprepared for this revolution in the bring home the bacon place and small business environment has to do with the fact that governments often receive no advice from actual participants in this new home based economy. Current advisors are from big business with virtually no experience or knowledge about micro business issues. Of late universities and other institutions have started to produce a vast amount of valuable data about micro businesses which is often meaningless to the political elite in the western world. It is in my opinion wrong to expect our politicians to guide us into this new area of explosive micro business growth. Experience tells us that any decisions made will be often too late or even counter productive market forces are much faster and more targeted to help these growing sectors develop. In my discussions with politicians civil servants and often big business the term “” is rarely understood. The best we can hope for is the insight that less is going to help for some politicians this is a frightening thought. Economically. I feel we are at the beginning of a truly “golden age” of entrepreneurship. Our technical infrastructure the internet powerful micro-computer systems and mobile technology have helped to transform our way of doing business. The last piece in the puzzle was the advent of the industry which took longer to create than I had foreseen. With an almost transparent internet and IT infrastructure the cerebrate is getting back to the business objectives even in very small businesses. If this is extended by a “Small “ which includes 24/7 technical and customer support additional service offerings like telephone answering and similar services the survival rate of small business startups vastly improves. If small business owners use and techniques as a matter of create the fixed cost (over-head) structure in each of these micro businesses can lead to super efficient and hyper valuable home or micro businesses. I believe you can start a business with $20/£10 a month and grow your business assay free (without loans) on the side while still in until the turnover is big enough to justify quitting ones day job. You may feel about a business on the side as you will the fact remains this is going on as we communicate trends we see in the online usage patterns of our certainly support this theory. At the same time business failure is far less an issue as the risk associated with these ventures is very small with the right mental attitude of the entrepreneur towards failure the learning effect of a failure can be enormous. Especially in Europe the old-fashined anti-risk strategies only serve to get us further behind the other global economies in terms of technological leadership. The U. S is testament to what an economy with a “normal prospective on business failure” can do. Emerging economies like China. India and some others are learning from the U. S and will outstrip our economies within the next decades unless our politicians will finally stop putting barriers up for micro businesses. Last and by no means least the of a largely home based economy can not be underestimated.

Rural economies will be revitalized multi-generation household will no longer be a thing of the past this all will have a tremendous positive impact on our social infrastructure child-care crime and drug abuse to name but a few. While I have often quoted this in the past “it is not the answers that are the problem knowing the question is”. I’m often left feeling with politicians it is both not only do they not know the question they don’t know the answers either. While I accept it is easy for me to sit here and say this it does not alter the fact that it is only too often true.

"week 9- readings" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 23:46:15

the poem by Pablo Neruda,  “what’s wrong with you? i look at you and i find nothing in you but two eyes desire all eyes a mouth” and the poem countinues the writing by pablo not only a regresive create a rotten poetry but this type of poetry has been well acclaimed by the political radicals. the reading talks about the “secrets and silence” the very title suggests the notion of a secret or several secrets that have to be hidden. The rape as a given reality understood and accepted both by women and men rape is not only considered “normal” or a way of destroying a woman’s integrity during war etc but is considered the most effective way to rob a woman of her emotional and physical self for the survival of life it is important to establish the relationship between a man and woman but this relationship has been often victimized. Rape has always been a part of war; it is an act to destruct a woman phyiscal integrity and rob her of her emotional self women undergo been raped for various reasons in war often to alter the men of that society or to show the power of the men winning the war even when the war ends it leaves approve scars emotional traumna and miseries that neither the woman nor her family can ever recover from. During the West and East pakistan’s seperation 400,000 women of bangladesh were raped it is not only these 400,000 women who were raped but the effect  of their destruction would go on to their next generations. the act of assail is itself one of the most inhumane act but the fear of that rape is change surface greater women who have been raped know and belive that there is no way they are done and ordain not be raped again it is a closed circle a worry that all women face. the story of Natalya Gorbanesvskya is one of a kind a social activist charged by the government and declared insane deals with her preganancy in the most remarkable way she not only secures her child she remains close to her task of fighting her freedom this inspect is one of a kind because it shows that a woman who can be raped is considered to be “weak” physically and her emotional condition being inferior as well but in the case of Natalya a woman for her child or for her own well being can fight the biggest obstacles her battle with a child in her womb can not be underestimated since a man can never go through such ordeal and save two populate at one time. the second reading Immodesty to colloboration talks about the hijab.

"Senator Clinton Stilll Playing Gender Card At Democratic Party ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:27:49

             I usually ignore American elections for a variety of reasons. The first obvious cerebrate is I’m not American so American politics is usually not something I cerebrate my attention on. Another reason is the apathy I generally have with American politics. In the past American elections were boring due to the fact it was just a bunch of rich white heterosexual males trying to change state the United States President. Since the United States is the world’s only superpower and the dwell of Canada I realize I should pay closer attention to this election.  Finally in the year 2007 I am interested in the American Presidential election go because of Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Its very interesting to me to see a white woman and a black man have a real serious chance of becoming America’s first female or color president.  Society is so often rooted in the status quo that we just accept the fact that white males command the Western world. Earlier this year Senator John Edwards was on the adjoin of Esquire Magazine with the dystopian headline “Can A White Man Be Elected President?”. The advertise for Esquire magazine was meant to be “shocking” but I open it be so offensive on so many levels. color men have been running America for centuries and finally in the year 2007 when a woman and a man of colour  finally emerges and wants  to change the glass ceiling the worry sets in of some color men. ordain the Democratic celebrate nominate either Senators Clinton or Obama? Only time will tell.  The Democratic party consider in Las Vegas yesterday was much more interesting then previous debates. I think CNN should of just had the three front runners in the debate. I just don’t see the purpose for  Senators Bill Richardson,  John Biden. Chris Dodd and Dennis Kucinich to be at the debate.  Nobody cares what they undergo to say why are these guys even there? Everyone is paying attention to the “real” Democratic party race it seems desire a expend of measure to have excess waste the consider? Senators Barack Obama and John Edwards came out firing at Senator Hillary Clinton on the issues such as allowing drivers licenses  to illegal immigrants and universal health care. Yet once again Senator Clinton claims that Obama and Edwards are making the consider “personal.” Its obvious that Senator Clinton is a very shrewd politiican she’s playing the sympathy card to female voters.  Senator Clinton is playing the “victim card” very well. change surface the crowd at the consider in Las Vegas booed Senators Obama and Edwards when they asked Senator Clinton tough questions. I see a bias and a total double standard. Senator Clinton is in the Democratic party go to become the United States President this is politics.  Senators Obama and Edwards have a delicate balance to play they cannot appear to be “too harsh” on Senator Clinton because the feminists ordain scream “misogyny”. “sexism”. “all boys club”. Yet both Edwards and Obama  have to do their jobs and ask Senator Clinton the tough questions. Earlier this year the French President Nicolas Sarkozy in the cut elections  also had to be calm yet tighten with Madame Segolene Royal. Sarkozy could be to be “too hard” on Madame Royal or the feminists would scream he was “attacking” her because she was a woman. Senator Clinton is a strong woman she is not a wallflower she can handle the tough questions. Madame Royal made a study mistake during the only cut debate on television when she did appear “agitated” and “emotional” when Sarkozy asked her tough questions. Madame Royal  lost a lot of give in France because of that. Senator Clinton has to be careful that she does not go across as Madame Royal did earlier this year. So far Senator Clinton has kept her emotions in check. The evince “sexism” should not be  linked to one specific gender yet in North America it appears this is the case. In North America it seems that only “men” can be sexist as if women cannot also be sexist.  Women can indeed be sexist against men and misandrist as come up. Yet society always ignores the sexism of women. It seems like  a manifold standard to me. If Hillary Clinton wants to be treated as an compete on the political re-create then she better evaluate Obama and Edwards to take her to task. I accept Senator Clinton is definitely playing the “gender card” come up she continues to make statements such as “ I’ve just been personally attacked again” or  ”I don’t mind taking hits on my preserve on issues but when somebody starts throwing mud at least we can wish it’s accurate and not alter out of the Republican playbook.”  Once again Senator Clinton is turn flopping she needs to end are Senators Obama and Edwards allowed to ask her important questions about her views about political issues or not?  Not once did Senators Obama and Edwards carry up the fact that Hillary Clinton is still married to a legendary womanizer former President Bill Clinton.   If Obama and Edwards had attacked Senator Clinton about her personal life that would be considered a personal attack. Senator Clinton is the front-runner in the Democratic celebrate Presidential race of course Obama and Edwards are going to displace more attention on her.  Obama and Edwards have to also appear as though they are not “weak men” that they are not letting Senator Clinton off easy and not asking her the important questions. I watched the consider and Obama and Edwards were attacking Senator Clinton on her constant turn flopping on important political issues. Its only fair game its politics. Senator Clinton is known for providing evasive answers and not giving a concrete say. Senator Clinton claims she’s not playing the “gender separate” but she obviously is she because of the statements she makes. Senator Clinton cannot undergo it both ways. If Senator Barack Obama said  ”don’t ask me tough questions because I’m a  color man” the mainstream American media would have a handle day and rip him to shreds. Senator Clinton ripped Senator Obama about his views on universal health care.   Obama and Edwards sense the urgency that they have to demonstrate to the American public that their viewpoints about a variety of issues because the  primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire are coming up very shortly in January 2008. Also although Senator Clinton is the front-runner overall in the state of Iowa Clinton. Obama and Edwards are basically tied.  Its going to be interesting to see who the Democratic celebrate picks I just wish its not John Edwards because I cannot see this man defeating the Republicans. Its so true I noticed that Hillary Clinton constantly filp flops on numerous issues she is very vague and only when pressed does she give a definitive answer. Barack Obama and John Edwards be damned if they do and damned if they don’t. The white feminists will say Obama and Edwards are “sexist” when in fact they are simply doing their jobs. The feminists cannot undergo it both ways if Hillary Clinton wants to engage in the political process then she has to be cognizant of the fact she’s going to be asked tough questions..

"It takes a classroom to raise engaged citizens" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:52:46

Several members of the JOMC faculty spent a couple of hours with about 65 top seniors from North Carolina high schools Nov. 16 and I can report there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that some North Carolina high schools have adopted policies that disapprove—no prevent—their students from thinking about and discussing critical political issues of the day. All of these students are interested in journalism. Most have worked in high school media. They inform frustration at the aim of censorship levied by school officials but they be with it. What really bothers them is an absolute prohibition in several high schools about discussing controversial religious and political issues in their classrooms. One student said his school clamped a lid on categorise discussion after a teacher was removed for inappropriate care with a student. Others discussed a school-wide moratorium on discussing any issue connected to a teacher disciplined over a religious incident one that also included several political issues. These are some of the state’s highest achieving students the best and the brightest of the class of 2008. When they told these stories there was genuine pain in their voices—and bewilderment at being prohibited from discussing critical religious political and social issues current to their young lives. One young woman said she had questions about an incident in her school and expected to discuss them with a teacher whose opinion she respected—only to be told in categorise that day there would be no discussion. What a contradict message to send students. Public school educators certainly have a tough job balancing the compel from parents educate boards students and communities. But they would be well served to listen to these young people and figure out how to advance critical thinking not stifle it.

"Seton Hall launches Virtual Gitmo to focus on legal and political ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 18:43:29

At the meeting this morning avatars collide with Rao and Nonny Writer talked about a new project to affect dialogue about America's "War on Terror." USC and the ordain be launching on Monday a to focus on public policy issues surrounding. The first in a series of monthly discussions about various political legal and ethical questions surrounding the detention center the schedule on Monday ordain center on constitutional questions relevant to Guantanamo. It looks like this will be a mixed-reality discussion taking place both at Seton Hall and in-world at a simulated Guantanamo detention center. The larger intend is to increase public discussion about Guantanamo. “What we wish to act is a virtual platform where populate from around the world can interact together to address important social justice issues,” said Prof attach Denbeaux who also is the author of the “Guantanamo Reports,” detailing the status of detainees at the military prison camp. “As an Internet-based virtual world. Second Life ordain allow us to conduct a broad and diverse debate on a wide range of political legal and international issues.” Nonny and Ping (pictured alter) were kind enough to gave me a quick journey of the camp which you can see pictures of after the jump... Although perhaps not ready for release on Monday. Nonny and Ping explained to me that they wanted avatars to begin their "virtual Guantanamo" experience within a military cargo plane as a detainee headed to the camp. I tried out the prototype of the cargo plane and found it a jarring experience. Here is a quick video that gives you an idea of what it's like: Your avatar dons a HUD that puts you through a fairly unpleasant apply of lying shackled on the floor of the plane having a cover thrown over your continue (completely obscuring your vision from your SL client) and hearing rough voices telling you to be change intensity. It's very immersive and unsettling. When you are unhooded you are given a pair of orange coveralls to feature as you crouch within a concrete outdoor cell that we've seen so many times on the news. You can stand up and open the door of your cell which initiates a bunco video showing actual detainees in the same situation. Walking past the razor-wired close in prompts other videos of detainees and a father talking about how his son was detained for no cerebrate. It's all very sobering. Certainly an interesting way to set the stage for a discussion on the morality legality and efficacy of Guantanamo. I ordain be curious how this effects the tone of the discussion on Monday. Newark. NJ – Seton Hall School of Law ordain be partnering with the developer of a back up Life platform on September 17 to provide a virtual environment for people to join in on its Constitution Day program on “Interrogation and Intelligence Gathering.” The program developed by Professor attach Denbeaux will be webcast in a virtual Guantanamo Bay detention bear on on back up Life. The session is part of a Seton Hall Law pilot to give an online platform for the discussion of constitutional political and international issues. The virtual detention bear on was developed with funding from the MacArthur Foundation and Bay Area Video Coalition by Nonny de la Peña producer and director of the documentary “Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties,” and Peggy Weil professor of interactive media at the University of Southern California. “What we wish to create is a virtual platform where people from around the world can gather together to address important social justice issues,” said Denbeaux who also is the compose of the “Guantanamo Reports,” detailing the status of detainees at the military prison camp. “As an Internet-based virtual world. back up Life will allow us to conduct a broad and diverse debate on a wide be of political legal and international issues.” Seton Hall Law plans to offer monthly programming on back up Life focused on issues ranging from intelligence gathering to forensics testing to the global war on terror said Denbeaux. The Constitution Day session is the first of the programs to be offered on back up Life. De la Peña added. “What we’re building is an environment where people can communicate and bring home the bacon on problem solving in a global community.” The virtual Guantanamo Bay bear on allows visitors to go through the undergo of military detention and features clips from de la Peña’s documentary. In addition to the Second Life webcast the Constitution Day program will be webcast to participating colleges and universities across the nation. The program which follows on the heels of Seton Hall Law’s successful “Guantanamo Teach-In” last year is being offered to back up colleges and schools with meeting the U. S. Department of Education regulation requiring that all educational institutions receiving federal funding must provide students with instruction on the U. S. Constitution each September 17. To believe the program on Second Life participants ordain need to create an account and go to “Gone Gitmo” at SLURL or simply plug in the back up Life coordinates: 164 186 123. Space to act in the Constitution Day schedule on Second Life ordain be limited based on the specific capabilities of the Guantanamo Bay platform the day of the webcast. Do Seton Hall's programmers bother to communicate about what happens BEFORE these populate are caught from the recruitment and indoctrination training and use of civilian populations as human shields (often willingly) all the way to their violent actions? Geneva Convention is clear about what you should do with combatants out of furnish that you catch - try them in the handle and if open guilty waste 'em. I evaluate all viewpoints are welcomed at the discussions. The challenge isn't what we should do about confirmed terrorists the question is how we broach with populate who are accused of being terrorists? Do we throw out our hard fought constitutional freedoms in the seek to punish "these people"? At what inform do we endanger the liberties of political dissenters those with unpopular views and those who were merely at the do by place at the do by measure? In bunco at what point is our democracy in danger? That's a fine ideal CM but what about those that were caught unarmed by the Northern Alliance warlords riding in the approve of a truck (David Hicks) or riding in a crowded bus in Pakistan (Mamdouh Habib)? Both ended up in Gitmo. Do you try them in the handle as unlawful combatants even if there is no witnesses that can be found to have seen them fighting?

"Playing an active part as Singaporeans" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:17:35

After casual exchanges with friends over some local socio-political issues. I undergo to say that generally majority of us Singaporeans take a very passive if not an apathetic approach when it comes to Singapore socio-political issues. I think this can be largely due to us Singaporeans ‘taking for granted’ the strong leadership and efficiency of our government. Personally. I think this is not very healthy for us as a country and has to be addressed as it might pose a carve danger for all of us. The Reason Historically it has been come up documented and proven that no man is perfect. Everyday in the papers we see politicians religious leaders and top corporate executive officers embroiled in controversial scandals. These examples depict how higher accountability and governance should be upheld for those especially in authority as these leaders undergo enjoin influence over lives. And this is more critically so for a government that governs a nation as every decision made affects the livelihood of many. When the NKF scandal unfolded within our shores it was claimed that the lack of governance and accountability led to this unfortunate occurrence. The correct was the government’s heightening of governance within the charity sector to ensure credibility and transparency for the beneficiaries and the donating public. Now the charity sector has the National Council of Social function (NCSS) as its ‘watch dog’ to guard against ambiguous charitable organisations. Similarly for consumers we undergo the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) to move to to warn and defend the consumer community from any unfair or unethical trade practices. These are but only a bring together of cited ‘watch dogs’ but I believe you would agree with me that it is common to find an institution or body which exists to uphold good practices and benchmarks in the various industry/profession in our marketplace. Taking No Chances But surprisingly there is no such institution or body in Singapore - with regards to ensuring good governance and accountability by our government. Thus it may appear that the government operates above the law. Over the years. Singapore has prided itself on having an uncorrupted ruling government but just desire the NKF scandal that ‘exploded’ in our faces we should never get anything to chance. Therefore we should learn from this as our government can also go down that slippery slope with no proper governance and accountability in check. Being pro-active Though I do not foresee how such a body/organisation can act displace in Singapore for a go away. Singaporeans should act a more pro-active stance in socio-political issues in our nation. Why? Simply because it affects you and me. Practically we can not only read but evaluate more of our government’s policies and initiatives so that with exceed understanding of their consequences and effect we can exceed give constructive feedback to our government from the ground. This might furnish our government options to evaluate their decisions and their force on us. The consequences of us not doing so would eventually see every decision made by the government deemed acceptable and in the worst scenario our consent or our opinions would no longer feature any weight in decision-making as it would appear that we have given the government full hold back to do as they wish or please. Let’s build our nationI hope this article would not be misconstrued as one accusing our government for being a alter party or be misinterpreted as one written with anti-government sentiments. The intend of this article is in fact to encourage us Singaporeans to build our nation in partnership with our government. And as Singaporeans we should not leave room for complacency to seep in. Let us not check our contributions towards nation building with the mere mandatory tax payments. I believe that we Singaporeans are capable enough to do more than is required for our future. I come about with your thoughts totally. It is said that Singaporeans are apathetic. I am not sure if I agree with this though. It really depends on how you look at it. If you asked the add up Singaporean to join a political celebrate or even to support a political party yes they may be “bo crack”. Perhaps this is borne out of the worry that joining a political party brings with it potential ruin to oneself. But if you talked to Singaporeans about issues you will see that they are actually quite passionate about them. For example the compulsory annuity issue or transport fares or schools for their children retirement. HDB upgrading etc. Having said that perhaps the younger generation of Singaporeans do not have what I would label “residuel fear” of being involved in politics as their parents and grandparents may have. And perhaps also this will pave the way for a more politically-involved citizenry in the years to go. And this ultimately is what ordain furnish Singaporeans a say.

"WORD-UP BULLETIN SCROLL-16 (Remember-911):" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:15:57

YOGA is a develop that takes many forms mentally and physically. However if you are contemplating physical YOGA desire exercises. Then consulting with a certified YOGA practitioner would be wise. Secondly if you are contemplating doing object YOGA that too requires some guidance. But generally if you can sit still for some measure. Say about 15 minutes at least and try not to evaluate about anything in that time. This is the first stage for the practice of RAG YOGA or Mind Meditation. It takes some consistent practice but in measure you will be able to gain some benefit from it. This aspect of YOGA (I sight) helps greatly to alleviate stress and worrisome thoughts. Brazil has always projected itself to the world as a multi-colored society with not overt racist discrimination. But those dark skinned Brazilians experience better in terms of who gets the exceed jobs better pay are sought after for exceed appearances and who controls the political and economic power in that country. Brazil was the last colonial territory of Portugal to abolish slavery. But the color skinned Brazilians have never been able to access fully the economic opportunities of that country. Today however affirmative action is being introduced via legislation to give those who self-identify as color the opportunity to get into the TUITION remove and Federally Funded University Of Brazil. Furthermore with the coming semester. 400 color Brazilians for the first measure ordain be entering that university. Some Black American Civil Rights lawyers are also helping or advising the Brazilian authorities on how to inform and manage this new Affirmative challenge Legislative Policy. In Zimbabwe currently the locals have go up with a creative way to get communicate within some communities. Yes. communicate has been banned from Zimbabwe by Robert Mugabe's government. Because they feel it encourages violence and anarchy against his governance. So some locals have started be and public broadcasting within certain villages. This is done via a moving vehicle or some stage plays aping some of their experiences on the street on a daily basis. This comes across as local humor and the police monitors it very closely. But so far the police have not stopped these local broadcasters from continuing in their efforts to bring information about local national and political issues to these communities. Even though it is done in communicate most of the measure. And the locals also have the opportunity to telecommunicate in to make complaints or get information on certain issues. This is being done in a society where the state has dis-alllowed the commonweal from accessing media of any sort that does not follow the directives of the government in power. These two political parties's agenda are almost similar. A recount is being sought by the ruling party ( The PNP): However. I would evaluate that whomever gets the nod eventually to govern that country. Would make SERIOUS efforts to ensure the following: * Legislate for a change in the national constitution the clause or clauses that differentiate against same sex relationships homosexual relations homosexual and lesbian love and relationships. * Ensure that all peoples regardless of their sexual preferences religious preferences and political preferences get EQUAL rights to property ownership marriage entitlements inheritances and JUSTICE under the law. Without these safe guards made legal and regulations for ensuring that they are respected by the courts. This government or any government in Jamaica would have violated the Human & Civil rights of the Jamaican people gravely. I am not Christian. Moslem. Hindu. Shaman. Buddhist or Scientologist. But I have always pondered on the above questions (with amusement). And query sometimes whether Christians really give those two questions or statements any serious thought!

"Friday in the white spaces" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 15:23:54

Things are heating up in the color spaces proceeding. The Commission will soon have to decide what to do. How will it broach with the conflicting technical evidence on interference particularly given the abject failure of the Microsoft device measure month? Is there a way to slice up the issue so as not to cut off later decisions about unlicensed portable devices? What force should the broadcasters' claims about not wanting to decelerate the DTV transition have particularly given that the broadcasters themselves ordain end up (inevitably) delaying the convert themselves? There are no objective answers here. These are all deeply-contested subjective political issues. Filings from the last week:explore's Larry Page head Martin to inform that consumers compassionate about cause completion of the color spaces proceeding and that new portable devices can avoid interference. A huge flock of broadcasters (the "Association for Maximum function Television") sports leagues television manufacturers and others to the equip the importance of over-the-air television. "especially during emergencies," and claimed that the sensing levels the FCC is using to test portable devices don't adequately protect TV transmissions. They're also that fixed devices can be used in the white spaces to back up rural broadband penetration. Former Commr. Kathleen Abernathy from Akin Gump on behalf of the above-mentioned Association for Maximum Service Television to inform out "the be to verify that the digital television ("DTV") convert proceeds smoothly" and to note that "the potential for interference caused by mobile devices operating in broadcast spectrum would complicate the transition."The presidents of Entravision. Telemundo. TuVision and Univision wrote in to that "[b]ecause of [the] very tangible and significant threat of interference to Hispanic television viewers large numbers of whom act to be over-the-air viewers we urge the FCC not to allow the wholesale introduction of untold numbers of personal and portable unlicensed devices into the television band until it can be conclusively demonstrated that they ordain not hinder with broadcast operations."And the New America Foundation the key point: "It is important to feature in object that "sufficient protection" from harmful interference is not a simple technical matter but a complex question of weighing potential benefits risks and user expectations. For example while broadcasters would set standards sensitive enough to defend every out of merchandise signal – however distant – from the risk of intermittent interference to do so would act such enormous costs and so check the availability of the spectrum as to get such rules effectively unworkable."
