clipper's remarks: Make Your Own Beer

For a long time German beer is considered to be the best in the world and surprisingly the thing that stand behind this success are not just the traditions, it is the law. Reinheitsgebot limited the beer making supplies to water, barley, and hops and also limited the price to 1-2 Pfennig (German cents) per specified amount. If someone disobeyed the law his beer was confiscated with no compensation. The law was first put forward in 1487 and accepted in 1516, it lasted for almost 500 years had some amendments and was canceled only in 1987. It had both good and bad effects. Reinheitsgebot turned the chaotic beer brewing into a standardized industry, which guaranteed quality of beer and made German beer – the best beer in the world. But also this law eliminated hundreds of sorts that included outlaw ingredients, basically leaving Germany with Bavarian beer only.

Catholic Church gives D.C. ultimatum

clipper's remarks: Same-sex marriage bill, as written, called a threat to social service contracts.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it will be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District if the city doesn't change a proposed same-sex marriage law, a threat that could affect tens of thousands of people the church helps with adoption, homelessness and health care.

Under the bill, headed for a D.C. Council vote next month, religious organizations would not be required to perform or make space available for same-sex weddings. But they would have to obey city laws prohibiting discrimination against gay men and lesbians.

Fearful that they could be forced, among other things, to extend employee benefits to same-sex married couples, church officials said they would have no choice but to abandon their contracts with the city.

Several D.C. Council members said the Catholic Church is trying to erode the city's long-standing laws protecting gay men and lesbians from discrimination.

Consent will be required for cookies in Europe

EDITORIAL: A law that demands consent to internet cookies has been approved and will be in force across the EU within 18 months. It is so breathtakingly stupid that the normally law-abiding business may be tempted to bend the rules to breaking point.

The fate of Europe's cookie law became improbably entwined with a debate over file-sharing. To cut a long story short, it broke free. On 26th October, it was voted through by the Council of the EU. It cannot be stopped and awaits only the rubber-stamp formalities of signature and publication.

What’s Likely to Happen to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:19:19 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: Perhaps what’s likely to occur, writes the Chron, is a court-martial under Article 2 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to punish offenses allegedly committed by a man wearing a U.S. military uniform against other military personnel on a military base. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division is responsible for recommending charges, prompting the military equivalent of a grand jury, known as an Article 32 hearing, where both prosecutors and defense can present evidence.

Those results would be reviewed by the base commander, who would decide whether to convene a court-martial. The 12-person jury would be composed of officers higher in rank than Hasan " lieutenant colonels and above.

Before becoming a journalist, he worked as a litigator at a large law firm and clerked for a federal judge.

The future indeed looks grim for Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the accused Fort Hood gunman, who last week opened fire in a processing center on the base, killing 13. Hasan was injured by gunfire, but remains alive and under heavy guard at Fort Sam Houston. That means, of course, Hasan will presumably be prosecuted for his actions.

But what will the legal proceedings look like for Hasan? The Houston Chronicle attempts to answer the question in a story out Monday.

A key question concerning Hasan’s fate hinges on whether civilian prosecutors conclude he was part of a terrorist plot that might justify moving his case into the federal criminal courts under U.S. anti-terrorism laws. If prosecutors, on the other hand, determine that Hasan acted alone, he could face the death penalty in a military court-martial.

ObamaCare endorsements: What the bribe was

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:38:44 GMT

clipper's remarks: The AARP got a financial windfall in return for its support of the healthcare bill. Over the past decade, the AARP has morphed from an advocacy group to an insurance company (through its subsidiary company). It is one of the main suppliers of Medi-gap insurance, a high-cost, privately purchased coverage that picks up where Medicare leaves off. But President Bush-43 passed the Medicare Advantage program, which offered a subsidized, lower-cost alternative to Medi-gap. Under Medicare Advantage, the elderly get all the extra coverage they need plus coordinated, well-managed care, usually by the same physician. So more than 10 million seniors went with Medicare Advantage, cutting into AARP Medi-gap revenues.

Presto! Obama solved their problem. He eliminates subsidies for Medicare Advantage. The elderly will have to pay more for coverage under Medigap, but the AARP — which supposedly represents them — will make more money

ObamaCare endorsements: What the bribe was

As the suicidal Democratic congressmen proceed to rubber-stamp the Obama healthcare reform despite the drubbing their party took in the ’09 elections, the president trotted out the endorsements of the AMA and the AARP to stimulate support. But these — and the other endorsements — his package has received are all bought and paid for. Here are the deals:

· The American Medical Association (AMA) was facing a 21 percent cut in physicians’ reimbursements under the current law. Obama promised to kill the cut if they backed his bill. The cuts are the fruit of a law requiring annual 5-6 percent reductions in doctor reimbursements for treating Medicare patients. Bravely, each year Congress has rolled the cuts over, suspending them but not repealing them. So each year, the accumulated cuts threaten doctors. By now, they have risen to 21 percent. With this blackmail leverage, Obama compelled the AMA to support his bill … or else!

One night he came home covered with blood.

"What happened?" she asked

I was helping some of the wounded."

She believed him. She had to. He was her husband, the man she loved.

Besides, she knew the rules of the Basiji, the hard-line Iranian militia he belonged to

But she was about to change. She had started wearing lipstick and blush. Intrigued by the world of journalism, she signed up for classes at a Tehran college.

Once during a law class she took to help with her part-time job at a law office, the subject was women's rights. Under Iranian law, the professor said, a woman was worth half a man when it came to court testimony or inheritance.

"That's not fair," she burst out, reminded of the bitter child-custody battle that her sister had endured, and lost, against an abusive husband.

"You're a feminist," the professor accused her.

That night, she pulled out a dictionary and looked up "feminist."

She read the definition, and decided that she was.

If you are planning to conduct business in the Caribbean, it is advisable to contact a law firm with experience in the area and that has access to a reliable Legal Translation firm like THE MARKETING ANALYSTS. This is because the independent countries in the Caribbean are very small and tend to differ in terms of their degree of economic and trade policy development. While these countries still have limited development, the rise of tourism from the cruise ships are influencing more development in terms of legal and trade policy.

It's important to note that the law of karma isn't due to a god's judgment over a person's behavior; it's closer to Newtons law of motion -- every action has an equal and opposite reaction. It happens automatically, of its own accord.

When you achieve nirvana, you stop accumulating bad karma because you've transcended it. You spend the rest of your life and sometimes future lives "working off" the bad karma you've already accumulated.
