V.20 "Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. V.21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer."

Marine who was court-martialed after putting up Bible verse at her desk loses First Amendment appeal in 'outrageous' federal court decisionA Marine who was court-martialed after refusing to take biblical verses down from her desk has lost her federal appeal, in a decision her representative called 'outrageous'. Marine Lance Corporal Monifa Sterling lost a 2014 court-martial at her base in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, based in part on her refusal to remove the verses. She challenged that action but was told Wednesday that she had lost the case after it was ruled that the order was not a 'substantial burden'...

The poetry I call "Tokuisei Verse" was developed over a period of several years on an internet web site called FREEREPUBLIC.COM. I would like to thank the owner, operators and financial donors who provide this public forum for allowing me, without condition, such a frivolous use of their bandwidth. Tokuisei is a Japanese word meaning singularity.(A point in space-time at which gravitational forces cause matter to have infinite density and infinitesimal volume, and space and time to become infinitely distorted) Tokuisei Verse is a direct descendant of the traditional Japanese Haiku. However it contains only nine beats. It is...

San Francisco -- A convicted sex offender _ chased out of four San Francisco Bay area towns _ was given court approval Thursday to move into a Contra Costa County community despite public opposition. Cary Verse, 34, has been living in a motel room in San Jose for the past year while he's been in the outpatient phase of the state's mandated treatment program for California's most serious rapists and child molesters. A new state law requires that sexually violent predators be sent back to the county of last residence before their incarceration; Verse was last arrested in Contra Costa...

Once out of prison and mental hospitals, sexually violent predators such as Cary Verse do not pay for their rent, food or even magazines. At first, taxpayers do. As part of the Department of Mental Health Conditional Release Program, the state covers expenses of each offender because the person is still technically in the state's custody. While those who oppose financially supporting sex offenders say that California taxpayers should not be responsible for covering their expenses, offender advocates say that paying for them is the only way they will remain stable and out of trouble. "(Verse) is in our custody...

Four-time convicted sex offender Cary Verse is waiting for a landlord to finish renovations on a Contra Costa County dwelling that a state agency has found, a county prosecutor said Monday. County Superior Court Judge John Minney postponed announcing the residence's location. He set the next hearing for Jan. 14. Renovations may be one of several factors delaying a final decision, said deputy district attorney Brian Hayes. The prosecutor and defense attorneys would not comment on whether the landlord has signed a lease or whether Verse would be in a house or an apartment. Minney ruled in September that a...

MARTINEZ - Officials monitoring four-time convicted sex offender Cary Verse are still negotiating with a Contra Costa landlord whom they may pay to house him, prosecutor Brian Haynes said after a closed hearing this morning. A decision on whether Verse, 34, will move to the undisclosed location was put off until the next hearing in Verse's case, set Dec. 6. But Contra Costa Superior Court Judge John Minney has decided that he will assign Verse to housing somewhere within the county. Verse said after the hearing that he is confident he will find a safe place to live. A quarterly...

A commentator in the official Egyptian government weekly, of all places, writes this week that the entire Moslem claim on Jerusalem and El-Aksa is based on a mistaken reading of one chapter of the Quran. Ahmed Mahmad Oufa wrote that the verse that mentions a night journey by Muhammed to a mosque has nothing to do with Jerusalem, as is generally claimed, but with a mosque near the holy Moslem city of Medina. Prof. Moshe Sharon, Middle Eastern expert in the Hebrew University, commented on Arutz-7 today: "This is not a new claim. We must remember that Jerusalem is not...

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Baghdad nine that day, The score stood ninety-five to one, with but one inning more to play. And then when Basra died at first, and Kirkut did the same, A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of Hussein. A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast. They thought, "if only Saddam could but get a whack at that. We'd put up even money now, with Saddam at the bat." But Blix preceded Saddam, as did also Villepin; and the...
