People who understand homosexuality know that there is nothing to be uncomfortable with, just as there's no reason to be living with someone of another race or ethnicity.

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:16:18 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/03/15/lickliter-meets-with-barta-appears-out-as-coach#IDComment62245775 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2010/03/03/jury-struggled-before-convicting-becker#IDComment59741784 There's one problem with your argument--that's not how the law works. In any case, whether it's first-degree murder or a traffic violation, "guilty" and "not guilty" are never "obvious." There are always shades of meaning, and those shades of meaning are often inscribed in law. And with first-degree murder, as the article says, there's a mandatory life sentence of life in prison without parole. With that as the law, how could the judge take anything else "into account during sentencing"?

For awhile it looked like it would track north, and we were in for 6-10 inches if that held. It didn't--the storm (and it is a storm) did in the end track south, and now we won't get that much snow. They should have changed the headline, though. Winter storms are notoriously difficult to predict.

It doesn't say specifically, but I imagine this probably includes the building of new parking to replace what has been lost.
