Brunei Phasing In Antigay Law; Will Soon Allow Death by Stoning | Advocate.com
"The sultan of Brunei has confirmed that a law that will eventually allow death by stoning for gay sex and other so-called offenses will go into effect on Thursday.
The new penal code, based on Islamic Sharia law, will make Brunei the first country in East Asia to adopt such law. It would be the first time since 1957 that Brunei would enforce a law with the death penalty.
"Today... I place my faith in and am grateful to Allah the almighty to announce that tomorrow, Thursday May 1, 2014, will see the enforcement of Sharia law phase one, to be followed by the other phases," Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said in a speech..."

Questions plague Pasadena college over Dustin Lance Black debacle - latimes.com
Questions plague Pasadena college over Dustin Lance Black debacle - latimes.com
“Recently,” Bell wrote, “a 2009 sex tape was leaked without consent, showing Mr. Black engaging in unprotected sex. The incident has caused him to suffer embarrassment. We became aware of this after the initial offer was extended to Mr. Black.”
Bell felt that because the college had a sex scandal involving a heterosexual professor who taught pornography and slept with students, having Black as speaker “may not be in the best interest of the District.”
(By PCC's twisted logic, Sen. Fluke, who was involved in a “slut” scandal, would not be suitable to speak. Nor would Franco, who was recently involved in an “underage girl” scandal. And don’t they realize that Father Boyle hangs out with known gang members?)

Today April 23rd is the actual 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf which everyone knows occurred on Good Friday 1014. In remembrance we bring you a video of a performance of famous piece of music entitled “Brian Boru's March” by Spanish Guitarist, Narciso Yepes. Many of you will have heard this tune played on a harp or uilleann pipes but it is very special to hear it on a 10 string classical guitar. Taken from a performance at Carnegie Hall in 1982.

Just How Stupid is Portland for Dumping 38-Million Gallons of Water?
Just How Stupid is Portland for Dumping 38-Million Gallons of Water?
"...a typical urination of about 1/8 gallon in a reservoir of 38 million gallons amounts to a concentration of 3 parts per billion. That's billion with a b. For comparison, the Environmental Protection Agency's limit for arsenic in drinking water—arsenic!—is 10 ppb.
The EPA doesn't appear to have a limit for urine in drinking water, but it does limitnitrates in drinking water to 10,000 ppb, and urine does contain a lot of nitrogen, so let's use that as a proxy.
How many times would that teenager have to pee in a Portland reservoir to produce a urine concentration approaching the EPA's limit for nitrates in drinking water? About 3,333 times.
But of course urine is 95 percent water. (If you're ever trapped in rubble after a natural disaster, go ahead and drink it.) Only about 2 percent of urine is nitrogen-rich urea. That means he'd have to urinate 166,666 times for the concentration of urea to approach that of the EPA's limit for nitrates in drinking water."
