Santorum defends earmarks (AP)
MANCHESTER, N.H. ? Facing fresh scrutiny after he nearly defeated Mitt Romney in Iowa's lead-off caucuses, Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum on Wednesday defended votes and statements that are earning him a second look for the wrong reasons.
Santorum, a former senator and House member, finished eight votes behind Romney in Iowa's contest and arrived here to questions about his support for home-state spending projects known as earmarks and for a recent comment about black people that has been criticized as being racially insensitive. He also sought to explain previous statements that likened same-sex relationships to bestiality.
"My Catholic faith teaches that it's actions that are the problems, not necessarily someone's feelings," Santorum said in a CNN interview. "One can have desires to do things that we believe are wrong, but it's when you act out on things, that's the problem."
Santorum, who spent much of the last year toiling as an also-ran in the polls, found a late surge in Iowa. He tapped into social conservatives' networks and visited every corner of the state.
An uphill climb greets Santorum in New Hampshire and South Carolina, where he is scrambling to piece together an organization. At the same time, he is explaining his resume to voters who are seeing it for the first time.
"I don't believe that everything that is immoral should be illegal. The government doesn't have a role to play in everything that people of faith or no faith think is wrong or immoral," he told CNN.
Santorum also defended congressional spending designed to benefit pet projects. Tea partyers and fiscal conservatives criticize the process of slipping home-state spending into massive bills and say such "earmarks" in huge bills treat taxpayer money like a slush fund.
"When you go to Congress you fight to make sure that when taxes go from your state to Washington, D.C., you fight to make sure you get your fair share back," Santorum said, adding that other lawmakers do it. "The idea that earmarks are the problem in Washington, D.C., is just ridiculous."
Still, he has said he now opposes earmarks.
Santorum also tried to explain remarks he made in Iowa about Medicaid, a program for poor Americans. He was quoted as saying: "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."
In the CNN interview, Santorum said he "mumbled it and changed my thought" in mid-statement.
"I'm pretty confident I didn't say `black,'" he said. "I've looked at it several times. I was starting to say one word and I sort of came up with a different word and then moved on." But, he conceded, "it sounded like black."
While Santorum defended his overall record in working on economic issues for black communities, civic and civil rights leaders criticized his remark.
"Sen. Santorum's targeting of African-Americans is inaccurate and outrageous and lifts up old race-based stereotypes about public assistance," NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said.
"He conflates welfare recipients with African-Americans, though federal benefits are in fact determined by income level. In Iowa for example, only 9 percent of food stamp recipients are black, while 84 percent of recipients are white," Jealous said.
Santorum shrugged off the criticism and said his remark was "probably just a tongue-tied moment instead of something that was deliberate."

Anna Frajlich, "The Legacy of Ancient Rome in the Russian Silver Age."
| Rodopi | 9042022515 | edition 2007 | PDF | 221 pages | 1,1 mb The Legacy of Ancient Rome in the Russian Silver Age analyzes the forms involved in creating the Roman image and explores its functionality within the given poetic system. In addition to the formal analysis, the background and the stimulus leading up to the composition of a particular poem are explored, as well as allusions to legends, myths and Rome's geography and architecture. Moreover, this study considers the function of the Roman text in Russian Symbolist poetics and the works of the individual poets. Finally, the relation between the Roman and Petersburg texts of Russian literature is explored, since many of the Russian Symbolist poets found in Rome a perfect metaphor for their studies of the city and "urban" poetry. legacy ancient rome russian silver age, ADS: Ebook30.com recommends Usenet (150 GB free download), it has all files you're looking for [filesonic, filepost, mediafire] RELATED EBOOKS of Anna Frajlich, "The Legacy of Ancient Rome in the Russian Silver Age."?Historical Atlas of Ancient RomePenguin (Non-Classics) 1995 | 144 pages PDF | 22 Mb Matching clear graphics with informative text, Christopher Scarre's atlas gives a fine overview of Roman history from the emergence of the first city-state in the eighth century B.C. to the rise of Christian theocracy a millennium later.

Israel: Haredi demonstration sees use of Holocaust symbols, denounced
Demonstration causes uproar following the use of men, children in Holocaust-reminiscent striped pajamas with yellow patches
Hundreds of Haredim demonstrated against the ?Zionist assault? following the recent civil uproar over incidents of segregation.
Demonstrators Under Fire over Holocaust Symbols
The latest Haredi protest in Jerusalem has caused a stir after kids participating in the demonstration were seen wearing yellow patches and striped pajamas like those Jews were forced to wear during the Holocaust.
Avner Shalev, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate said in response: ?I condemn the use of Holocaust symbols in a protest of any kind. This is reprehensible. The Holocaust is nothing like what goes on in Israel. ?
Shortly after the demonstration, Shas? spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef commented on violent acts by haredim in connection to women?s exclusion and said, ?There are people who do things which our Torah forbids and they must be condemned.?
He said that the Torah advocates peaceful behavior and not violence. Speaking in his weekly class, he said: ?We do not hate seculars. On the contrary ? we love them.?
Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni also commented on the protest on her Facebook page. ?There is no protest in the world that can justify this. Even within the debate we are holding there are boundaries that cannot be crossed. I hope that haredi leaders will condemn these acts.?
Just when you wonder how far low some people will go, they reach rock bottom, then pull out a shovel and start digging?.

NTSB Proposed Cell Phone Ban Would Impact California Commercial Drivers
December 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Public sentiment against distracted driving continues to grow, as another federal regulatory agency recommends that commercial drivers be banned from using cell phones while behind the wheel. Recently, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued a recommendation that commercial truckers and bus drivers should be banned from using mobile devices while driving in an effort to reduce distraction, and thus trucking accidents.
While the proposal was non-binding, it would be the most sweeping restriction on handheld devices, and would affect thousands of commercial drivers in California. The current ban on mobile devices only prohibits text messaging behind the wheel. With its referral, the Board released a statement explaining that "commercial drivers must focus their attention on operating their large, heavy commercial vehicles rather than switching their attention between driving tasks and telephone use."
The action follows a public outcry for a national cell phone ban for all commercial truck and bus drivers after a horrific crash in Mumfordville, Kentucky last year took the lives of 11 people, including the truck driver who allegedly took his eyes off the road to use his cell phone.
After concluding their research, NTSB investigators determined that distracted driving was the primary cause of the accident. They found that driver Kenneth Laymon had used his phone 69 times in the 24 hours before the crash to place calls and send text messages. In the midst of a phone call right before the crash, Laymon's truck crossed a 60-foot-wide median and through a cable barrier system, striking a passenger van in oncoming traffic. Investigators determined that he panicked and hit the brakes, but did not try to steer away from oncoming traffic.
If adopted, the rule could make California roads safer, as thousands of commercial drivers would be impacted. Because of their sheer size, trucks and buses are more likely to cause severe (if not fatal) injuries if they are involved in accidents with passenger cars.

Federal judge invalidates part of California's greenhouse gas law
FRESNO, Calif. ? A Fresno federal judge on Thursday dealt a setback to California's landmark global warming law, which went into effect this year with the goal of reducing the state's greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill ruled that California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard violated the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause.
The standard aims to gradually cut the carbon content in gasoline 10 percent by 2020 and replace up to 20 percent of the total gasoline used annually in the state with renewable fuels such as ethanol.
Several groups - including the Fresno-based Nisei Farmers League and the Fresno County Farm Bureau - filed a lawsuit in December 2009 that challenged the state regulation, saying it violated the Commerce Clause by seeking to regulate farming and ethanol production practices in other states.
A similar suit that involved oil production was filed last year by groups including the National Petrochemical Refiners Association and the American Trucking Association. It was later consolidated with the first lawsuit.
It was clear Thursday that O'Neill's ruling will be appealed. But what will happen to the state's greenhouse gas law wasn't clear - representatives of both sides of the debate were still digesting O'Neill's complicated ruling.
In a joint statement released Thursday, Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen and Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis said California "overreached in creating its low carbon fuel standard by making it unconstitutionally punitive for farmers and ethanol producers outside of the state's border."
Renewable Fuels Association and Growth Energy are both organizations that represent ethanol producers. They were plaintiffs in the first case.
The state Air Resources Board and the Natural Resources Defense Council - which intervened in the case on behalf of the state - promised an immediate appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
"We respectfully disagree with the court's decision," ARB spokesman Dave Clegern said in a statement.
He called the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard "an evenhanded standard that encourages the use of cleaner low carbon fuels by regulating fuel providers in California. It does not discriminate against any fuels on the basis of geography."
The global warming law - which was written in the state Assembly and is often referred to by its bill name, AB 32 - sets a statewide limit on greenhouse gas emissions.
David Pettit, a senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said a key decision will now be whether the 9th Circuit holds off on implementing O'Neill's order while it takes up the appeal.
If the appellate court lets the ruling stand while the appeal proceeds, he said it will be harder for the state to meet its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"California's low carbon fuel standard will help reduce harmful air pollution from the fuels used by our cars and trucks, reduce our dependence in petroleum and protect public health," he said.
What O'Neill's ruling won't do, Pettit said, is completely derail the law.
Pettit said the Low Carbon Fuel Standard is only part of AB 32 and represents about 15 percent of all the greenhouse gas reductions that are part of the law.
He added that it hasn't generated the scrutiny of another part of the law - the cap and trade program. That program limits the amount of carbon emitted by the state's biggest polluters and creates allowances that can be bought and sold on an open market.
In the original lawsuit, the groups including the Renewable Fuels Association and the Nisei Farmers League said "one state cannot dictate policy for all the others, yet that is precisely what California has aimed to do through a poorly conceived and, frankly, unconstitutional (Low Carbon Fuel Standard)."
As with the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Pettit said he expects "a lot of litigation" coming on the cap and trade program that also will invoke the Commerce Clause and the argument that "California is trying to regulate out-of-state business."
