Frat Boy Pot Luck Rampage
I'm surprised there aren't more stories like this:
According to a report by the Michigan State student newspaper, 15-20 males entered a campus dormitory and assaulted an injured male and female students. Among the assailants, the State News reported, were unnamed football players according to witnesses.
Of course not--no one's going to comment on a Frat Boy rampage. The problem here is not athletics, although the involvement of football players will probably lead the simple-minded BACK to that conclusion. The problem here is not even alcohol or fraternity life. The problem here rests with the dubious idea of having a potluck. A potluck? No one--and I mean, no one--in this H1N1, cootie-sharing, hepatitis B-saturated nation should be going to a potluck. No one.Brent Mitchell, a communication junior who said he was sent to Lansing's Sparrow Hospital after being punched in the face, said some of the men wore ski masks, but others were recognized as football team members. "I walked up and said, 'It isn't worth it.' A guy with dreadlocks hit me and in the scuffle slapped, hit females to get them out of the way," Mitchell said. ... Mitchell said members of his fraternity, Iota Phi Theta, had just finished a potluck event and were folding chairs in the lounge when the men entered. The men said they were looking for a man who had been involved in a spat with one of them the night before during an Iota Phi Theta event at The Small Planet, 16800 Chandler Road, Mitchell said. Mitchell said he was struck after the men realized the person they sought wasn't there. He said the altercation lasted for about a minute before the men left.
Neither university officials nor campus police would comment on the specifics of the incident.

Радовское антикоррупционное

Згідно з новим антикорупційним законом, що набере чинності 1 січня 2010 року, підприємців-сумісників може чекати покарання за хабарництво
Під гарячу руку
Виявилося, що депутати підклали свиню не стільки чиновникам, скільки фізичним особам-підприємцям. У законі, зокрема, прописано, що ті не мають права працювати на іншій роботі.
Також підприємцям заборонили входити до наглядових рад підприємств чи організацій, крім управління державними частками акцій, та ревізійних комісій. Щоправда, далі є уточнення - "якщо інше не передбачене законом".
Виходить, якщо інші закони, приміром, "Про підприємницьку діяльність", це дозволяють, то поєднувати додатковий бізнес чи роботу в установі таки можна?
Через цю колізію під антикорупційну статтю підпадають сотні тисяч людей, які працюють на основній роботі і мають додатковий невеличкий легальний бізнес - торгове місце на ринку, автосервіс, перукарню чи пункт з ремонту взуття.
Так само багато українців є приватними підприємцями і, водночас, засновниками господарських товариств у вигляді АТ та ТОВ. Тепер і вони, всупереч Господарському та Цивільному кодексам, можуть вважатися порушниками закону.
My Sunday Morning Epiphany
Paradox: if you complain, you give it energy and manifest more of it. But if you repress, you also give it energy.
Possible Solution: acknowledge what you don't like, but only long enough to identify what you do want, then visualize the positive outcome, and feel it like it's already there. May I remember this!
Unexpectedly Cold Mountain

Movies are the window to my soul. I love watching movies. I love the unexpected. The unexpected good ones. They show up and engage us most intimately. Good movies educate and open up our narrow minds. It changes us.
Never liked Nicole Kidman. She seems cold and rigid. Almost frigid. Never liked Jude Law. Too much of a ladies man. (sleeps with his nanny) But I watched Cold Mountain this afternoon and loved it. I even feel like I love Mr Law.
It's such a loss with director Anthony Minghella (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005237/bio) having passed on last year. He has the same birthday as my husband. Wierd that I noticed. Such a brilliant storyteller. I'm going to get the book. It almost always is better reading the books.
Watching Cold Mountain made me colder about the warring world and yet, it gives me hope. The unexpected type of hope. Hope that life does get better. Hope that people are worth waiting for. Hope that when someone we love dies, we can still survive. No matter how cruel life can be, how cruel people can be, there will always be goodness.
I might sound very dramatic. But even though I don't experience half the extent of the drama in Cold Mountain, it helps to explore the dramatic side of life through books and movies. I guess it's a sort of mental preparation for the unexpected in my life.
Linday Graham, Doing the Matlock
Lindsay Graham (Yeah, I Know) Destroys AG Eric "Nation Of Cowards" Holder On Civilian Trials For Terrorists UPDATE: Leahy Says We Don't Need To Interogate Bin Laden
I'm second to no one in my loathing of Lindsay Graham's style of 'make a deal and get something done' politics but my guess is he's a hell of a lawyer.
There are a lot of knocks on Eric Holder but no one really thinks he's a stupid man. Misguided? Sure. Diagnosably retarded? No. Watch this exchange between Graham and Holder. Graham leaves Holder stammering like a fool.

Say what you want to about Graham, I definitely wouldn't want to be on the side opposite him as a lawyer. That is some pointed rhetoric and, more importantly, outlines a logical procession that Joe Average can understand. "What would you do if X tomorrow?" should never throw you off your game if X is something at least theoretically possible and which you are, in theory, actively working for.
No, I'm not getting back into political punditry. I promise.
No, really!
Happy, happy day in Waxhaw!!!
We have beer in Waxhaw now!
And you know my first had to be a Guinness! Enjoying it at Southsiders. :)
Christ at the Center - Horton Interviewed by Christianity Today
Below is an excerpt from Michael Horton's latest interview:
But aren't many churches doing good preaching about how to improve your marriage, transform your life, and serve the poor?
The question is whether this is the Good News. There is nothing wrong with law, but law isn't gospel. The gospel isn't "Follow Jesus' example" or "Transform your life" or "How to raise good children." The gospel is: Jesus Christ came to save sinners—even bad parents, even lousy followers of Jesus, which we all are on our best days. All of the emphasis falls on "What would Jesus do?" rather than "What has Jesus done?"
