A Muslim woman is suing the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut for allegedly expelling her and telling the FBI that she was a terrorist, she says in retaliation for a sexual harassment complaint she made against a fellow student.
Balayla Ahmad filed suit against the school in District Court on January 10th, citing gender discrimination, civil rights violations, breach of contract and negligence. The complaint also names the school’s president, the president’s assistant, the Dean of the College of Chiropractic and the Director of Security, all of whom Ahmad claims showed “deliberate indifference” to her complaints and eventually expelled her.

LEGO is for All of Us!
After 4 years of marketing research, LEGO has come to the conclusion that girls want LadyFigs, a pink Barbielicious product line for girls, so 5 year-olds can imagine themselves at the café, lounging at the pool with drinks, brushing their hair in front of a vanity mirror, singing in a club, or shopping with their girlfriends. As LEGO CEO Jorgan Vig Knudstorp puts it, “We want to reach the other 50% of the world’s population.”
As representatives of that 50%, we aren't buying it! Marketers, ad execs, Hollywood and just about everyone else in the media are busy these days insisting that girls are not interested in their products unless they’re pink, cute, or romantic.http://tinyurl.com/7esekmrLEGO is for All of Us!

Arkansas: Meatpacker May Lose U.S. Contracts
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Labor officials have moved to cut off federal contracts held by one of the nation’s largest meatpackers, saying it discriminated against women and non-Asians.
The Labor Department says the company, Cargill Meat Solutions, discriminated against more than 4,000 qualified people who applied for entry-level jobs at a Springdale plant, with women less likely to be hired and Asians and Pacific Islanders unfairly favored over other races.
Federal officials said Tuesday that they wanted to cancel Cargill’s contracts and prevent future contracts until the company stopped discriminatory practices.
Cargill Meat Solutions holds contracts worth more than $550 million with the Department of Defense, labor officials said. The company, a subsidiary of Cargill Inc., in Minneapolis, attributed the problem to documentation, saying there was not a satisfactory record of why it did not hire certain candidates. Mike Martin, a spokesman, said that minorities made up 84 percent of the 1,300 people employed at the Springdale plant and that the accusation appeared to be based on a “statistical analysis” of the job market rather than a review of specific applicants.
The plant drew national attention this year when it had to recall 36 million pounds of ground turkey after a salmonella outbreak that sickened 107 people in 31 states. One person died.

I know a family who lived in New York all their life and the man of this family was a New York Policeman until his best friend made him an offer to be CEO of a company that wasn’t even in in existence at that time.
It was a trucking/shipping company to be with all the educated qualities of both their minds. It started on South Ave. in Staten Island New York. These two men met in high school had a brother relationship, would do anything for each other, including after marriage helping in the raising of the others boys being their when the other couldn’t .
They went through many ups and downs but this company surge made a name for itself though out the country and yes in shipping to Porto Rico. It was one of the greatest best shipping lines to that country.
So not only was it a worldwide trucking company it also had shipping rights all over this country anywhere. They used US Lines and yes Holland Hook plus many others.
They now have many ports including Florida in all places you can’t imagine and states people would never ever thought this company would go to or be.
Their main office is in Deerfield Florida but yes of course in many other places. They started out of a car with nothing God Bless for all have a dream and yes dreams do come true when you have a dad who worked with Nixon in other things I won’t mention at this time.
So yes connection help money to cause it does all for a person starting a company out of a Mercedes as your office of a company. Would this company be as it is without all the special effects I don’t know?
What I do know is that this man who put his heart soul life into this company and yes even relocated his family that work for his friend for over forty years was fired.
The reason for this his so called brother friend for over forty five years claimed was of his health age because he was ill. He had had many problems with his heart and yes he was reaching in a month or two his seventh birthday.
So this person who gave his life left the New York police force and relocated his family now has no job. And is seventy years of age with no pension or 401K all he has is social security and unemployment.
His income doesn’t provide for the family anymore or take care of the home he bought to relocate for this job. So what kind of a corporation is this that doesn’t give severance pay or health care to an employee who has been your friend best as a brother since high school and you help raise his sons?
This company is worldwide world known not only in the USA its shipping and trucking company that makes billions of dollars. And puts people on the pay roll that don’t even exist.
This is fact truth I know for the person I’m speaking of is a close relative. How can a corporation get away with such fraudulent fraud hide money pay people that don’t even exist?
And dispose of a person let go take away their position after forty years and they gave up their job on a very secure job on the New York Police force?
This man isn’t a Democrat he is most definitely a Republican but not the Tea as we hear on TV all he care of is the loopholes and hide away for all his money. He writes off his vacations for his estrange wife and buys all his girlfriend condos. Plus whatever he does outside of work he writes off in business claiming to be work this I know for fact, been there done that seen it with my own eyes.
Corporations screw the American middle class no matter the love or friendship it’s all bull shit there is no love family when it comes to the money or the corporation.
This family who relocated the New York Policeman who was called the brother of this other man helped him start a company now which is worth billions is now going to lose their home life everything they have to live on 184.34 a week for gas, food, prescriptions, heating for home which is oil heat, and if anything breaks and just all the extras as a glass of wine.
They can’t afford to live or breath for their income doesn’t allow this anymore they live in darkness and eat cereal for dinner. How can this be happening in American or in any human world with a person you went to high school with their sons calls you dad and you were like brothers?
You were thrown under the bus because of greed of a corporation and your age to them plus your health was a disadvantage. What has become of caring of the people human life?
The audacity of Wall Street and all big corporations no matter who you know or what you are to throw away a human life because of greed. Take away jobs send them overseas for child labor no health care or paying into our tax system structure.
I don’t know what will come of this family but last I talk to them it was extremely bad. Trying to sell a house that now is worthless in a housing market that has gone down three times now.
They live day to day not knowing where and when they will be able to pay a bill or eat. Their feelings now are just to let this home they have go into foreclosure take a huge loss of money they put into it not knowing what Connor they will live on in that cardboard box.
What happens to humanity families people because of the greed of big corporations Wall Street? The politicians on both sides of the aisle lie steal for a bid to win a political office. We the people don’t matter it’s the gangsters of the banisters politicians that take hold of our life because it’s the big corporations that throw all the money to them put them in office our voice doesn’t count anymore
Here is a family thrown under the bus by our system the corporation because of our political environment government that is bought for the highest price. In other words who has the most donations can make their voice louder with the most lies or most valuable words that count that people need to hear. We want to hear change for our true Democracy not for the big corporations or Wall Streetstrangerinapicture.us/

Sitting here today I feel empathy and feeling very empathetic for all victims in both cases. Thinking how our justice system has failed an innocent man who has been in prison since 1989 for a crime he never committed and always claimed his innocence. The evidence shows clearly there was no evidence to convict him from the beginning.
All the people who have claimed they saw him have now retracted their claims of the falsehood of their statements. Also claiming they were by the policemen powered influence pushed to make falsehoods of a situation and efficacious their powers forces of circumstances for law and order which would be in favor for the courts in Georgia.
There are two jury claimants now that said they wouldn’t have come back with a guilty verdict if they had all the evidence as now at that time of the trial. No D&A or weapon found all false claims just to close a case. And now because of the length of time this innocent man has spent in the courts jail no one want to admit they have made a heinous mistake with a human life so they would rather sentence him to death before admitting how wrong they were and are.,
He hasn’t had this go to the Supreme Court and it’s unlikely it will before they execute him tonight at seven pm eastern time. Jimmy Carter the Pope many people have come to ask for clemency to stop this injustice unlawful execution that unfortunately will take place.
So on one hand there is no justice but then we hear great news about the two American men in Iran for now over two years have been freed for a bailed amount of one million dollars. Well it’s very true when they say money talks and crap walks. For if perhaps if Troy Davis had money backing him and he wasn’t black in a southern state he wouldn’t be on death row and about to be executed for a crime he most definitely didn’t commit.
We hear people cheer when Governor Rick Perry is so proud of all the people he has put to death not sure of their innocence or guilt knowing our judicial system is so very flawed, how evidence can be planted or corrupted if miss handled. How sometimes just because of your status life color of skin will predict the outcome of what will be in your future because of the discrimination created by our politicians and the culture of some people known as the Tea Party Republicans.
You know there are people that will call government a Ponzi scheme well when you put to death an innocent man yes it is. Our courts are to give us a fair chance a trial of our peers with evidence not lies that we know are always to come when in the judicial system and the DA wants to run for a higher position in his career.
Well I’m very happy of the release of the American men from Iran for that also was an injustice done unto them by another country. Knowing they did this to send our country the USA a message that they can and will restrain any American they want and lie of the reasons behind it as we have tortured many immigrants from the Middle East claiming it was because they weren’t Americans quoting Dick Cheney of course.
So the lesson we learn here is killing an innocent person doesn’t give any justice to anyone nor can the family of the loss murdered feel that they can say this was for the life of that family member. Since the real person who murdered that person is still alive enjoying his/her life.
And with the Americans from Iran they now know other countries will treat us as we treat other people from any other country than the USA. What is truth to be told is do unto others as you would do to yourself. Kindness caring with thoughtfulness is always the best way of life. Always be fair never considering all as your enemy then claim they are your friend for they will for sure turn on you faster than lighting can strike you.
Practice what you preach not what you say for others just to do. If in life we all considered the consequences of our hatred discriminations greed for power to control all you will soon realize you’re going to fall you won’t prevail it’s common knowledge eventually this game of Russian roulette will expire

ATLANTA (AP) - The retired NBA All-Star and a friend claim they were ousted from the bar of a ritzy Atlanta restaurant because they were black. The restaurant says they weren't the victims of a discriminatory policy, but a long-standing practice rooted in Southern hospitality that allows women a seat at the bar when the place is packed.
Those arguments were made Monday at the start of the weeklong federal trial of a lawsuit filed by Joe Barry Carroll and attorney Joseph Shaw. The two say they were humiliated when a security guard escorted them from the Tavern at Phipps when they refused to give up their seats to a couple of white women, an action they say was part of a broader pattern of discrimination against blacks.
"You're probably thinking: Two black gentlemen go to a bar - this is a joke,'' Jeffrey Bramlett, an attorney for the men, told the jury during opening arguments. "But it's no joke. The evidence will show a serious civil rights violation.''
The restaurant's lawyers said the men were asked to give up their seats as part of a long-standing "good manners'' practice that's been in place at the restaurant for 20 years. Attorney David Long-Daniels said thousands of men have complied with those rules, from stars like Michael Jordan to the other men at the bar the night of the incident.
"Chivalry is not dead,'' he said. "And it's not a civil rights violation to give up your seat to a woman.''
The standoff over the seats took place on a Friday night in August 2006 when Carroll, who played parts of 10 seasons in the NBA starting in the 1980s, and Shaw sat and the end of a bar and ordered a few beers, a few appetizers and some liquor. As the crowd grew thicker, a bartender offered them complimentary drinks to move, but they declined.
They were soon asked several more times to give up their seats to women, but each time they refused, according to court testimony. A manager eventually threatened to call security if they didn't relent, and an off-duty Atlanta police officer who works for the restaurant was summoned to the scene.
"That's the way we do it here,'' attorneys from both sides said the guard told the men as he ushered them out.
"They were embarrassed. They were humiliated,'' said Bramlett. "And part of the reason it was painful is they had an unobstructed view of seats where white patrons were seated.''
The restaurant is attached to an upscale mall in Atlanta's Buckhead district and on weekend nights it's a place to see and be seen, filled with well-dressed, attractive clientele. Bartenders toss and juggle bottles, putting on a show while they mix specialty drinks.
Bramlett said interviews with current and former employees show that Greg Greenbaum, the restaurant's head, feared that "black thugs'' would follow if blacks started flocking to his business. He said the restaurant systematically encouraged managers to avoid hiring too many black staffers and limited black hostesses on peak nights.
Staffers were also told to "slow serve'' black patrons during hectic times, he said. And during the February 2003 NBA All Star game, when young black basketball fans crowded the city, the restaurant hung large "Welcome Rodeo Fans'' banners and played country music, according to court records.
It was all aimed at attracting "white businessmen and well-endowed women'' at the expense of black patrons, Bramlett said.
Patrick Kelly, who was the bartender serving the men, testified that no other men were at the bar when Carroll and Shaw were kicked out. And attorney Long-Daniels said bartenders routinely offered free drinks, free food and new table seating to men sitting at the crowded bar to convince them to give way to women.
The restaurant's hope, Long-Daniels said, was to become a safe haven for women so they could come for food and fun after a long day of shopping at the adjoining mall.
"If they feel comfortable, they'll stay. And if they stay, the men will come. It's not about race, it's really about green,'' he said.
"Everything in life is not about race and the evidence will show this has nothing to do with race,'' he said. "The evidence will show it's more to do about personality and ego. And in the end, it's all about good manners.''

In today's episode of The Sphincter People, we take you to the Blanco Independent School District in San Antonio, where uniformity takes precedent over helping cancer victims. 6-year-old Gareth Shand and his mother Kandi had the misfortune of recently moving there...
It seems the young lad not only has a diamond stud in his ear, but he's also growing his curly locks so he can eventually donate his hair to Locks of Love, a charity that makes wigs for cancer victims.
This was never a problem back in South Carolina, one of the nation's most conservative states. But administrators at the Blanco district take their dress code very seriously. It bans kids from wearing earrings. It also says boys' hair must be neat, clean and well-groomed.
There are no exceptions for 6-year-old boys who wish to help cancer victims. Exceptions would require administrators to think and make judgment calls. And everyone knows that thinking and exercising judgment has no place in an educational setting.
So during the first week of school, Gareth was suspended. He now has to sit outside the principal's office until he conforms with the dress code. After all, there's nothing more important to a child's development than teaching him to be exactly like everyone else.
But Gareth's mother isn't about to acquiesce. She believes the rules discriminate against boys, and she wants to protect her son's sense of individuality. So she plans to take her case to the school board.
The district, meanwhile, refuses to comment on the matter. Administrators reportedly couldn't come to the phone, since they were all in the middle of an Assholes Anonymous meeting.

My birth name is Michael Foley, I am 22 years old and was 20 during the time which I was working for the ((which I was employed from early march to late august, I also previously held a job with AAFES working at the on-base theatre for 2-3 years where my family lived prior to this happening)) NEX a branch of AAFES overseas while my father was stationed at a NATO base. I've known for years that I am not in the right body and growing up in a military environment has increased the stress with the majority of people in the community being very anti-gay due to "Don't ask don't tell."
Due to the strong rhetoric and anti-gay presence that is felt in military I kept it a secret for a long time that I felt this way for fear of embarrassment and my father getting the brunt of it at work. However turning 21 in august and finally getting a fulltime job at the NEX I felt it was time to let my family know and seek help at the Naval hospital on base.
I sought help at the naval base of which they were very unresponsive and told me there was nothing they could do for me eventually sending me to the psychiatric ward where they questioned me about suicide and things I hadn't gone there for. Although many talks were about my gender identity they always lead to them not being able to do anything or simply unwilling to help me. I tried many times to make appointments with doctors. This eventually lead to me buying hormones and trying to self-medicate online. ((this landed me in the emergency room twice on both occasions little to nothing was done and the recommendation was that I stop taking the pills.))
So eventually I stopped taking them. Things got worse at work, I had begun to paint my nails and put on light makeup to support how I felt inside, which lead to me being called into the back by management several times and being sent home and told to take it off or not to come back. They eventually made moves to have me fired, everytime I asked for what they would pull me into HR and to talk to management written down on paper they refused. I'm convinced that alot of what they were saying was completely illegal, I am a civilian my father served proudly in the military for years no decades and they are cornering me for being transgender? At the time unfortunatly that's not how I saw things I was getting severely depressed and not leaving my house, when they finally sent me home for good I stayed home and cried for days not leaving my room at all, I thought it would be different that because I had the strength to confront my fears that everything would go well but they didn't and it felt horrible I felt crushed, I still feel crushed. It didn't end there my mom convinced me to see JAG of which I went to and they called the NEX turns out they did very little as well, I've never felt so horrible in my life. I never thought that a branch of the american government would actually stoop this low to treat a civilian like this and I don't even know what to do. If anyone knows what do I would like help I'm still living with my parents and I haven't left the house since this incident took place.
I've attached a picture I took of one of the write-ups I received during my employment at AAFES.My birth name is Michael Foley, I am 22 years old and was 20 during the time which I... more

A Ghanaian minister is "promoting hatred" by urging people to report those they suspect to be homosexual, a human rights group has told the BBC.
Ghana's Centre for Popular Education and Human Rights said Paul Evans Aidoo's comments could endanger the nation's underground gay community.
Mr Aidoo said he wanted to rid society of gay people and take them to court.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Ghana but someone would have to be caught having sex to be prosecuted.
Mr Aidoo was reacting to reports that 8,000 gay people in the Western Region had registered with Aids charities.
"I don't believe it; nobody believes it," the Western Region minister told Ghana's Joy FM radio station earlier this week.
e urged people - "landlords and tenants" - to come forward if they suspected someone was gay.
The suspects would be taken to court to see if they could be charged, Mr Aidoo said.
"All efforts are being made to get rid of these people in the society," he said.
But Mac-Darling Cobbinah, the head of the Centre for Popular Education and Human Rights, said the threat was empty.
"There's no way you can be arresting people on the basis of perception," he told the BBC.
"It is promoting hatred - and it's creating a divided society where gay people will be antagonised or attacked or blackmailed," he said.
"When a minister of state and government starts relating such messages it can't help society."
Last week, the Christian Council of Ghana held a press conference to condemn homosexuality.
Homosexuality is frowned upon in many African societies.
An MP in Uganda recently tried to introduce the death penalty for some homosexual acts, sparking international criticism.
The bill has not become law.

An Indiana man says a blood donation center rejected him as a donor because he appears to be gay--even though he isn't.
Aaron Pace, 22, recently visited Bio-Blood Components Inc., in Gary, which pays up to $40 for blood and plasma donations. But during the interview process, he said, he was told he couldn't give blood because he seems gay.
Though Pace is "admittedly and noticeably effeminate," according to the Chicago Sun-Times, he says he's straight.
"It's not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can't," Pace told the paper. "And I'm not even a homosexual."
Even though the blood bank sounds like it is engaging in a discriminatory practice, it would only be following the law by rejecting Pace were he gay. In 1983, amid the early panic over AIDS, the Food and Drug Administration banned all men who had had sex with other men since 1977 from giving blood. At that time, there were no effective screening tests to identify HIV-positive blood.
Nowadays, all donated blood is tested for HIV and other infectious diseases before being given to hospitals. And a recent study found that the gay ban costs hospitals 219,000 pints of blood each year.
And yet, last year, the Department of Health and Human Services decided to maintain the policy--though an FDA committee called it "sub-optimal," and suggested that it would be better to develop a screening system based on individual behavior, not broad characteristics like sexuality.
Curt Ellis, the former director of The Aliveness Project of Northwest Indiana, an HIV education group, called the ban "unfair, outrageous and just plain stupid."
As for Pace, he's still mad about being rejected. "I was humiliated and embarrassed," he said. And just to be clear: He's not gay--not that there's anything wrong with it.

Stopping businesses from discriminating against gay people would be bad for the economy, or so says the governor of Tennessee.
Gov. Bill Haslam signed a bill in May that voided antidiscrimination ordinances created by cities and counties, which had barred employers and others from discriminating against gay people.
But Haslam told the Nashville City Paper that he's not only against local ordinances. If someone proposed adding gay people to the state's antidiscrimination law, he'd oppose that too.
"Why wouldn’t I add gays as a protected class? I just feel like there’s enough regulation coming down," he said in a back-and-forth with a reporter.
Haslam argues that stopping discrimination is bad for business.
"It is a business issue in the sense that businesses keep having regulations put on them," he insisted. "Let’s say I’m a Muslim subcontractor who wants to work on the convention center, and I feel very strong that regulation shouldn’t be placed on me. Is that a Christian conservative issue?"
Although Haslam repeatedly said he's against gay marriage, the governor says he's not necessarily pro -discrimination.
"It depends," he told the City Paper reporter. "How are you defining discrimination? You could say I’m discriminating already because I’m saying I’m not for gay marriage. Is that discriminating?"
"Yes," reporter Jeff Woods answered.
"Is it? OK, then I’m drawing a line there," said Haslam. "But I’m not going to draw a line when it comes to hiring practices that I’m involved in."
Haslam relegates the decision on whether to discriminate to the human resources department of any local business.
"If I’m running a business, I’m going to go out and hire the best people I can, period," he said. "On the other hand, I don’t know that I necessarily want the local city council telling me my HR practices."Stopping businesses from discriminating against gay people would be bad for the... more

If the corporate-influenced Supreme Court will not hold major corporations accountable for for their structural gender discrimination, the people will.
In East St. Louis, a Federal jury (that's a bunch of citizens) awarded (that means they decided what to hand to the victim) a 20 year-old rental store clerk $95 million on claims that sexual harassment by her boss at a Fairview Heights rent-to-own store ended in a sexual assault.
Ashley Alford alleged that her supervisor Richard Moore began using "pet names" for her eventually leading to a sexual assault during which Moore held the plaintiff down and masturbated and ejaculated on top of her.
Aaron's Rents Inc., Richard Moore and Bard Martin were the alleged parties responsible for the plaintiff's sexual harassment and assault.
The incidents that led to the suit took place while Alford worked at the company's Fairview Heights store between 2005 and 2006.
The 20 year-old woman claimed that Aaron's had knowledge of Moore's conduct and that it violated the company's own sexual harassment policies.
She claims Moore harassed and assaulted her.
She claims that Martin did not take action to discipline Moore or remove him from his employment.
The plaintiff's suit contains eleven counts of retaliation, sexual harassment and other claims.
The plaintiff sought damages in excess of $75,000 per count and punitive damages as relief. And the jury delivered a clear statement about sexual harassment with their punitive award. Something that SCOTUS is too corrupt to do.
The jury's total verdict amounts to $95 million.
The jury's award included damages such as:
- $250,000 for pain and suffering related to the alleged sexual assault
- $ 1.25 million for emotional distress related to the alleged sexual assault
- $3 million for pain and suffering related to negligent supervision
- $3 million related to humiliation and indignity suffered
- $3 million related to the emotional distress caused by Aaron Rents' negligent control
of Moore
- $500,000 for the loss of a normal life caused by the negligent control issue
- $2 million for sexual harassment damages against Aaron's Rents and the related pain and suffering
- $2 million for loss of a normal life related to the sexual harassment
- $30 million in punitive damages against Aaron's Rents for negligent supervision of Moore
- $50 million in punitive damages related to the sexual harassment
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Reagan presided over the case. Judy Cates, Benedict Morelli, Martha McBrayer, and David Ratner represent the plaintiffs.
Now then, SCOTUS, this is a clear of example of citizens truly united think about discrimination whilst 5 of you jack off over corporate "rights." If you haven't the character to act on behalf of people, this will be commonplace until you do.
Congratulations to the plaintiff. Congratulations to women everywhere. And shame, shame, shame on the defendants and SCOTUS Inc.If the corporate-influenced Supreme Court will not hold major corporations accountable... more

"Three factors underpin the club's popularity. Foremost, these women believe they are curing sex-related social ills such as rape, incest, prostitution and sex trafficking. On this lofty assumption rests a second factor. Its founders believe their aphrodisiac ways are a counter to "most women's groups", a veiled reference to western feminism, which ignore the repercussions when a wife does not sexually satisfy her husband.
Perhaps the most compelling factor is hinged on the belief that the club does God's work.
The Qur'an, they argue, is peppered with references to sex. To their detractors, another founding member Siti Maznah Mohamed Taufik has this to say: "God even promised sexual pleasure from beautiful bidadari [angels] in heaven for those who are good. So are you saying that God is sex-crazed or obscene?"
Men's natural proclivity for sex can be traced to Islam's first prophet, Adam, according to Royaha. "Eve was created because Adam had needs. Men have [sexual] needs which they can't control. And if the needs are not fulfilled, men will find another woman. God created them like that."
