You are on holiday in Bali with your wife and 18 years old son. You have been there for a week and are ready to head home. All three (3) of you are at the airport getting ready to board your plane when an armed officer comes around with a sniffer dog. You have all your bags on a trolley, and the dog sniffs at both your wife’s and your bag, and passes over it. However when he gets to your son’s bag, he begins to get a bit more active. You look over at your son and he’s looking a little nervous. You know he’s smoke a little marijuana in his time, but generally he’s a good kid, and you certainly didn’t think he’d actually be stupid enough to bring it back on the plane with him. At first, you feel angry that he would do such a thing and start planning your responsibility lecture. Then you realize that you are in Bali and they have a zero tolerance policy on drugs, meaning your son could be jailed for life or worse, executed if he does have some illicit materials in his bag. You look at your wife and realize that she has come to the same conclusion and has gone pale with fear. The armed officer accompanying the dog is beginning to look sterner with every sniff the dog takes. He looks directly at you and asks you to open the bag. You do, and as the officer begins to take things out of the bag, you see to your horror that there is a small quantity of marijuana stashed in with your son’s belongings. The officer looks at you and asks,”Who’s bag is this?” You realize you have to answer but the answer won’t be easy. You see your wife in the corner of your eye and she is about to step forward and claim it as your own; what do you say?

2 But I say this to you: offer the wicked man no resistance … if anyone hits you on the right cheek; offer him the other as well.

You have learnt how it was said, “You must not commit adultery.” But I say to you: if a man looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

You have learnt how it was said to our ancestors; ‘You must not kill” … but I say this to you: Anyone who is angry with another will answer for it before the court.

Last week, police arrested Jay Stewart, 17; Shelton Musgrave, 18; and Michael “Vito” Caffee, 18; after finding a homeless man’s body with eighteen (18) stab wounds, five (5) broken ribs and many cuts and bruises. Ballenger, the homeless man, had been killed where he slept under the Interstate 5 overpass at Northeast Ravenna Blvd. “From my understanding, I don’t think there was a motivation other than a rage thing. It almost sounds like a thrill kill,” said Seattle Police Homicide Sergeant Cynthia Tallman. “It seems like they were doing it for fun,” Mike Lang, a King County Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in the juvenile unit. About once a month, Mr. Lang sees a case involving people severely attacking a lone victim for no apparent reason.

John LeSieur is in the software business, so he took particular interest when computers seemed mostly useless to his 6 years old grandson, Zackary. The boy diagnosed with Autism and the whirlwind of options presented by computers so confounded him that he threw the mouse away in frustration. LeSieur tried to find online tools that could guide autistic children around the Web, but couldn’t find anything satisfactory. So he had one (1) built, named it the “Zac Browser for Autistic Children” in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone for free. LeSieur’s quest is a reminder that while the Web has created important communication and educational opportunities for some people with cognitive impairments, computers can also introduce new headaches for families trying to teach their disabled children how to use them properly.

After a five (5) year review, Federal Government scientists have determined that the Caribbean monk seal has gone extinct. No Caribbean monk seals have been seen for more then 50 years. Also known as the West Indian Monk seal, this was the only sub-topical seal native to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico and is the first type of seal to go extinct from human causes. Once widespread throughout the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and west Atlantic Ocean, these seals were found in the united States from the Florida Keys and along the coast north to the states of Georgia and South Carolina. Monk seals became easy targets for hunters while resting, birthing, or nursing their pups on the beach. Overhunting by human s led to these seals’ demise, according to biologists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA. The last confirmed sighting of the seal was in 1952 in the Caribbean Sea at Seranilla Bank, between Jamaica and the Yucatan Peninsula.

Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery. Victims of human trafficking are young children, teenagers, men & women. Approximately 600,000 to 800,000 victims annually are trafficked across international borders world wide. After drug dealing, trafficking of humans is tied with arms dealing as the second largest criminal industry in the world, and is the fastest growing. Many victims of human trafficking are forced to work in prostitution or the sex entertainment industry. But Trafficking also occurs in forms of labor exploitation such as domestic servitude, restaurant work, janitorial work, sweatshop factory work and migrant agricultural work. Traffickers use various techniques to instill fear in victims and to keep them enslaved. In October 2000, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) made human trafficking a Federal crime. It was enacted to prevent human trafficking overseas, to protect victims and help them rebuild their lives in the U.S. and to prosecute traffickers of humans under Federal penalties. Prior to 2000, no comprehensive Federal law existed to protect victims of trafficking or to prosecute their traffickers.
