Michael Weinstein, whose Aids Healthcare Foundation led the successful 2012 campaign to require condoms in porn productions in Los Angeles County, expressed dismay at the new infection.

"I'm sad for the person involved," he said. "But I'm really sad for our community, that we're treating these people as utterly disposable."

Porn star's positive HIV test prompts calls for industry shutdown | Culture | theguardian.com: "A US-based porn actor has tested positive for HIV, the third such case reported in less than three weeks, leading a Los Angeles-based trade group for adult filmmakers to call a fresh nationwide moratorium on productions."

Yeah, sure, the USA without porn is like the USA without toilet paper. 'Mareicans ... one of the most sexually repressed populations ever to live on earth ... would scream for their toilet paper, and porn, like crack babies. Face it, HIV hasn't killed enough people for 'Mareicans to care about fixing the problem.

"While we don't have evidence to suggest an on-set transmission as opposed to a transmission from non-industry (off-camera) related activity, we are taking every measure to determine the source and to protect the performer pool," the Free Speech Coalition said in a statement. The group quickly called for another moratorium on porn productions to remain in effect indefinitely, Cachapero said. (Reuters in Los Angeles theguardian.com, Saturday 7 September 2013)

CONCLUSION
Porn actors have HIV.

MooPig Report from the Middle :: "CO2 is the Biggest threat to the Middle"

“Now I know I've got a heart because it is breaking. - Tin Man” (L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)

"For God so loved the World ..." this is how every Southern Baptists' boilerplate verse from the Bible; John 3:16, begins. What is not fully understood by all those evangelists is that God is not speaking of just the world of humans ... rather the Creator Almighty is speaking of all of creation of Earth, which might be fairer without the inclusion of humankind. It turns out, by all measurements of CO2 today, it is a big mistake to think otherwise.

While mega-turd politicians act confused about the Syrian front, there is a greater threat to American security.

The years should not gauze over how the world was conned into an awful conflict. To keep the water from rising we have to mandate a worldwide cut in Energy-related CO2 emissions by half by 2050 (compared with 2009) and continue to fall afterwards.



How Many Gigatons of CO2? | Information Is Beautiful:

'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
It is MooPig Wisdom's hope that you dear reader will find some helpful information starting with the chart and LINKs, graphs, statistics and numerical predictions on CO2, included in today's post. In our own search for answers we find terrifying warnings, and abominable shortcomings by countries.

Will anything be done to curb our self-destruction -- anything that is humanly possible? Apparently only an act of God will make the earth long-term-inhabitable by all creatures, and, things big and small. Is it only a test of humans' resolve? Hard to say for sure.

Let's pretend that humankind takes a backseat in destroying all its natural resources, and actually puts the environment in the driver's seat. And let's give it a date to be transformed: let's go with August 29th, 2045. I will be 90 years old and still poor. But by then will the earth's oceans cover many shorelines that existed in 2013?

The only thing that can survive fifty or a hundred years is a sovereign, focused, linear derived family unit; one that can invest right now outside the given rules, today, and reap their benefit in 2100, in tomorrow's long term. That brings to mind Rothschilds and those like them. They seem to have all the luck when putting the brakes on things magnanimous. It would be a shame to lose all of the earth and everything in it.

Will robber barons be the ones who finally step up and clear the air? I am holding my breath.

That's our concerns for this hour from the Middle -- where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are all above average.

Cage Match #11 :: "Popemobile vs the White Bronco"

First Ever to Include "Cars" in the Cage Match
by Pat Darnell and Google  | Mar 23, 2013 | Bryan TX

OJ Simpson in his White Bronco

--VERSUS--

Pope Francis in his White Mercedes Popemobile

Is the Popemobile a second-hand car? - Telegraph: " And if you want the same paint job for your C-class you'll have to ask your dealer for "Vatican mystic white". As with all Popemobiles, it carries the registration "SCV 1" (an abbreviation of the Italian and Latin names for Vatican City, Stato della Città del Vaticano and Status Civitatis Vaticanae, respectively)."

This is about uber-economics. What was the real cost of OJ "Orenthal James" Simpson's trial and error, not in that order? You see the jurors in the OJ trial were sequestered, average age of the juror was 43, exhibits presented during testimony: Defense 369; prosecution 488, cost: estimated $9 million for Los Angeles County--includes costs for court and prosecution--defense costs not known, the cost of Simpson's defense is estimated at $3 million to $6 million.


Think, 1.2 billion voices. So much for all the pre-conclave speculation and scenarios. For those of you who view papal elections in terms of brackets, e.g., Religious News Service's "Sweet Sistine, the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is even bigger than a play-in team upsetting a #1 in the first round, and then going on to win the championship. (Brian Olszewski on Mar 15, 2013. HERE )

Calls to mind that Jesuit cardinal and eventual doctor of the church, St. Robert Bellarmine, who, when he resided at the Vatican in the early 1600s, tore the tapestries from the walls of his room in order to clothe the poor. He was said to have remarked, "The walls won't catch cold."

As for the "real cost" of papal switching, good luck with that. In other words we came up empty in our Googling. There are 1.2 billion Catholics in the world. That is one-seventh of the world's population. Now if every Catholic gave just one Euro ...

" ... Argentine Jorge Bergoglio has been elected pope, the first ever from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Pope Francis. After announcing “Habemus Papum” “We have a pope!” a cardinal standing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday revealed the identity of the new pontiff, using his Latin name. Bergoglio had reportedly finished second in the 2005 conclave that produced Benedict XVI who last month became the first pope to resign in 600 years. The 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aires has spent nearly his entire career at home in Argentina, overseeing churches and shoe-leather priests. ... "

Pope Wrote Resign Letter in Latin

" ...After the pope finished reading his statement to a meeting of cardinals who had gathered at the Vatican on other Church business, it was up to the Vatican's PR wing to translate the message and fill in a global press corps on what was said and what would happen next. At least one Italian reporter, however, got the jump on everyone else thanks to the fact that she was apparently paying attention back in high school: (Josh Voorhees | Posted Monday, Feb. 11, 2013.

Pope Benedict XVI Resignation Announcement VIDEO: Pope announces he is stepping down in Latin.:

'via Blog this' For those of us who opted to study a living language back in our school days, here's the official translation of the pope's announcement:

Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have

 had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is. Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

Poor get no Sarcophigi : "Roman-era mummy found in Egyptian oasis"

Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities proves one thing: "A Poor Man's a Poor Man Wherever You Go," (Rule of Seven, Pribek)

"Afifi said it was still unclear who the woman was but said it was most likely she was a wealthy and influential member of her society, judging by the effort taken on the sarcophagus.

Mummies of people of diminutive stature have been unearthed in other parts of Egypt, where they appeared to have importance in local religions at the time, he added.

The archaeologists also found a gold relief showing the four sons of the Egyptian god Horus, other plaster masks of women's faces, several glass and clay utensils and some metal coins.
The metal coins are being checked to see whether they can date the era of the tomb more precisely.
Afifi said the find suggested the presence of a larger tomb complex, but said humid weather in the area may have destroyed similar sites.

He said none of the other 13 graves were as complete as that of the woman.

The find was made after archaeologists had made a series of exploratory digs ahead of a local council plan to build a youth center on the land. The area is known for its relics from the Greco-Roman period.

Bahariya Oasis rocketed to fame a decade ago with the discovery of the "Valley of the Golden Mummies," a vast cemetery that has yielded up hundreds of mummies, many covered in gold leaf, from the Greco-Roman period. (HADID, DIAA. Apr 12, 2010. AP, retrieved HERE)

Those sarcophagi were decorated in a more traditional ancient Egyptian style, rather than the Roman style of the current find.

The discoveries from this period indicate the comparative wealth and prosperity of the oases at the time due to their location on major desert trading routes."

Condom, is a condom, is a condom

Response to Papal Comments on Condoms --
By any other name is still a condom
Retrieved by Pat Darnell


Vatican may be less rigid on condom use

The tiniest of cracks may be appearing in Vatican policy on the use of condoms. The Roman Catholic Church has always opposed all forms of contraception and been unwilling to accept the use of condoms to help stop the spread of AIDS.

But a senior Catholic cardinal said over the weekend that exceptions could be made in some cases, for example if one partner within a marriage is infected with the HIV virus.

The Vatican will shortly release a document about the use of condoms for people infected with diseases like AIDS. Last weekend, the Vatican minister for public health, Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, told Italian newspaper La Repubblica that he is working on a report about this matter at the request of the pope. This would appear to indicate a climbdown by the Vatican from its policy of sexual abstinence as the only acceptable form of prevention.

No liberal --
Pope Ratzinger is certainly no more liberal than his predecessor. But while John Paul II listened mainly to himself, his successor is much more open to debate. This also means, however, that he will listen to the advice of other Catholic cardinals, such as the chairman of the Papal council for the family, Lopez Trujillo, who maintains that the use of condoms contributes to the spread of HIV, because it gives a 'false feeling of security'.

Therefore, it's not yet certain whether the Vatican really will change its stance, but it is clear that this particular pontiff is prepared to take another look at issues which his predecessor regarded as taboo.

Do medical and governmental groups support condoms use
as an effective way to prevent HIV? [SOURCE]

As a piece of contraceptive technology, all agree that when used correctly, the condom is remarkably effective.

Between 1990 and 2002, nearly $700 million worth of condoms were purchased for donations to nations struggling with population growth and/or sexually transmitted diseases. Quality evaluation typically took place at the time of contracting and again with product delivery. Tests include air burst integrity, tensile strength and electronic pinhole seal measures. The products perform at exceedingly high levels.

Condoms are also extremely easy to use, do not require medical supervision, can be distributed effectively, and don’t cost very much. In fact, unit cost of a non-U.S. produced condom is only 3 cents. That’s an important consideration since it was estimated that in the year 2000, some 8 billion condoms should have been available for free distribution in Eastern Europe and the developing world of HIV/AIDS. Donors provided just 950 million that year.

Pastor in St. Louis Suburb Fends off bullets with his Bible

Motive Still Unclear in Church Shooting
By JIM SUHR [...]AP
MARYVILLE, Ill. (March 9) - Worshipers at the sprawling First Baptist Church in this St. Louis suburb initially weren't alarmed when a young man they didn't recognize walked up the church's center aisle during the early morning sermon. Until he opened fire.

Winters deflected the first of the gunman's four rounds with a Bible, sending a confetti-like spray of paper into the air in a horrifying scene worshipers initially thought was a skit, police said.
"We just sat there waiting for what comes next not realizing that he had wounded the pastor," said Linda Cunningham, whose husband is a minister of adult education at the 1,200-member church.

Winters had stood on an elevated platform to deliver his sermon about finding happiness in the workplace — titled "Come On, Get Happy" — and managed to run halfway down the sanctuary's side aisle before collapsing after the attack, Cunningham said.

Two worshipers tackled the gunman as he pulled the knife, and all three were stabbed — the gunman suffered "a pretty serious wound to the neck" while one worshiper had lower back wounds, Trent said.
Churchgoers knocked the gunman between sets of pews, then held him down until police arrived, said member Don Bohley, who was just outside the sanctuary when the shooting began.
