Three Philippines beaches – Palau Island in Cagayan Valley, El Nido in Palawan, and Puka Beach in Aklan -made it to the “100 Best Beaches in the World,” a list published by Atlanta-based Cable News Network (CNN) on its travel website on May 30, 2013.
Palau Island, No. 10, was praised for its “raw beauty” of white sands meeting volcanic rocks, coral gardens, blue-green waters, diving site, rich marine species, and mangrove forest. Declared a marine reserve in 1994, it is the only island in Southeast Asia which entered the top 10 of the list.

Editorial: Philippine beaches on global list
Goa Legislative Assembly today passed the Goa Lokayukta (First Amendment) Bill, 2013 by deleting a contentious clause pertaining to the ‘veracity’ of the complaint filed with the ombudsman, which was opposed by RTI activists.
However, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, after tabling the draft amendments to the Bill, said he still feels that the earlier amendments that were objected by RTI activists, were indeed justified.
The Goa Lokayukta Bill (First Amendment), passed on the floor of the House today during the ongoing Budget session, is a toned down version of the earlier bill which had prescribed criminal proceedings under clause 8 for filing the “false, frivolous and vexatious” complaints” before Lokayukta.
The provision had prompted RTI activists and opposition Congress to raise their pitch against the original bill passed by the state legislative Assembly during the last session.
After the Bill was referred to Governor B V Wanchoo for his assent, he sent it back to the House suggesting certain amendments on par with the demands made by activists and opposition Congress party.
The House, however, maintained a provision recommending a fine between Rs 10,000 to Rs one lakh, if the complaint is found to be false, frivolous and vexatious after the investigation by Lokayukta in the new bill.
In a major change, the clause of ‘deemed to be rejected’ if indicted by Lokayukta has been changed to ‘deemed to be accepted’ if competent authorities do not act on the reports within three months.
The government, however, retained the clause saying that minister “may” resign if found indicted by Lokayukta, refusing to accede to the demand by RTI activists to change it to “shall”.

Goa Lokayukta (First Amendment) Bill 2013 Passed
IRVINE, CA–(Marketwired – Apr 22, 2013) – Fuel Freedom Foundation announced today that former governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson has joined their board of advisors. Richardson’s accomplished career in public service will help drive the organization further toward its goal of creating open competition in the transportation fuels market.
Fuel Freedom is a nonpartisan, nonprofit campaign that advocates for the end of the oil monopoly, which will enable cheaper, cleaner, American-made replacement fuels to compete fairly with gasoline at the pump.
Richardson will be joining a distinguished board of advisors that includes former president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, former Central Intelligence Agency director, Jim Woolsey and former Rockefeller Foundation president, Peter Goldmark.
Prior to joining Fuel Freedom, Richardson completed two successful terms as governor of New Mexico, beginning in 2002, through January of 2011. In 1997, he served for fifteen years representing the third congressional district of New Mexico in the United States Congress. In the Clinton administration, Richardson served as energy secretary and United States ambassador to the United Nations. He has had a long and successful career in public service, academia and in the private sector.
“Fuel Freedom Foundation is dedicated to breaking America’s oil addiction and promoting the development of American-made replacement fuels. Ending the oil monopoly is critical for the United States,” said Governor Richardson. “Introduction of replacement fuels into our economy will not only lower the price of fuel at the pump, but will create much needed jobs here at home. I am looking forward to using my experience in public service to help make this a reality.”
New Mexico became a “Clean Energy State” under Governor Richardson’s leadership by requiring utilities to meet 20% of New Mexico’s electrical demand from renewable sources; and established a Renewable Energy Transmission Authority to deliver New Mexico’s renewable resources to market. Additionally, Richardson’s leadership helped the state progress in the areas of education, transportation and the environment.
“Until barriers to fuel competition are removed, Americans will suffer increasing economic hardship due to high oil prices. Creating competition in the fuel market will drive gasoline prices down, and this is Fuel Freedom Foundation’s ultimate goal,” said Eyal Aronoff, co-founder of Fuel Freedom Foundation. “I am more than pleased that Governor Richardson is joining our board of advisors and has dedicated a portion of his time to help us fight this battle and end the monopoly on oil.”
Please visit www.fuelfreedom.org to learn more about how you can join Fuel Freedom to get involved and help end America’s addiction to oil.
About Fuel FreedomThe Fuel Freedom Foundation is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking our oil addiction by working to open the transportation fuels market so our cars and trucks can run on cheaper, cleaner, healthier American replacement fuels. Consumers could easily convert their cars to run on replacement fuels, but outdated regulations and entrenched commercial interests stand in the way. The Fuel Freedom campaign aims to remove barriers to competition so that natural gas, methanol, ethanol and electricity can compete on equal footing with gasoline at the pump and at the dealership. Achieving Fuel Freedom will lower fuel prices, create jobs, spur economic growth, reduce pollution, and improve national and global security. For more information visit us at www.fuelfreedom.org.

Governor Bill Richardson Joins Fuel Freedom Foundation's Board of Advisors
The Second Amendment Protection Act is now law in the state of Kansas. The measure, signed by Governor Sam Brownback this week, appears to be a preemptive strike against against any new gun control regulations from Washington.
The new law that protects gun rights in Kansas stipulates that Any act, law, treaty, order, rule or regulation of the government of the United States which violates the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is null, void and unenforceable in the state of Kansas.
The law would also rules out any federal attempts to ban magazines, ammunition, or certain weapons within the borders of Kansas.
According to one of the laws proponents, The new Kansas law stands as the strongest and most sweeping defense of the right to keep and bear arms in the entire country so far.
In general, it would be very difficult for the feds to enforce any new gun control measures without the cooperation of state and local law enforcement in a particular state or states.
In passing the Second Amendment Protection, Kansas is reasserting its rights under the 10th Amendment in the relationship between the federal and state government as well. That amendment reads the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people. The founders in general felt that the central government should be limited by the enumerated (i.e., listed) powers described in the Constitution rather than being all-powerful and that the states individually should run most things within their borders.
One of the state lawmakers who sponsored the bill indicated that the Second Amendment Protection Act also has an economic component. It creates a stark contrast with our neighbors in Colorado. I consider it a pro-job growth bill becauseof it encouraging the large gun manufacturers or those who make gun components to move to Kansas.
Gov. Brownback, who took office in 2011 (and prior to that served as US Senator) also signed a law that allows public schools and colleges to have designated employees carry concealed weapons and loosened restrictions in the future for carrying guns in public buildings.
What do you think of the news gun rights laws enacted in Kansas?

Maryland Liberty PAC SB281 Update 3-1-2013
General Transcript– with some differences: This is Patrick McGrady, the Chairman of the Maryland Liberty Political Action Committee. with an important message regarding the recent Gun Grab vote in the Senate. On Thursday, some complicated procedural actions took place in Annapolis on SB281, the O'Malley Gun Grab Bill, and I wanted to make sure that you understand. First, let's walk through the process of passing a Bill. In order to become law, a bill has to pass through both the House, the Senate, and then get signed by the governor– but there are other steps along the way. This is very general explanation, but important to understand Here we go: A bill is introduced by a sponsor. Then, the Senate President, or Speaker, assigns the bill to a committee. In the committee, with the other senators, public hearings are supposed to be held, and then the committee votes to send the bill before the entire Senate or to kill it.. If the bill passes with votes from the majority of the committee, the bill goes to the Senate Floor. On the Senate floor, the amendments from the committee get added to the bill. This is where the crucial part is. Now, in the Maryland Senate, a bill can be stopped by ⅗ of the senate members, by what is called a “filibuster.” With this, 19 State Senators can stop any bill if they choose to vote to not end debate. This is where it gets confusing. To stop a filibuster, a vote to end debate must take place. Bottom line is: any bad bill can be stopped by 19 …

SHILLINGTON, Pa. –
There’s a fight over free speech brewing in the Governor Mifflin School District. A student said computers at school block out websites related to sexuality.
The American Civil Liberties Union took notice.
“Marry for love not gender,” Governor Mifflin junior Maison Fioravante read a poster she created for her digital studio arts 2 class, “Please visit HRC.org or GLSEN.org.” When Maison tried to go to many web sites like the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network for research at school, she couldn’t.
“When I started to google at school about this information there would be a smooth wall block saying we couldn’t access this because of the sexuality filter,” said Maison Fioravante.
She asked her teacher for help and was given special permission.
“There shouldn’t be exceptions because I want us all be equal,” said Fioravante. So, she started an online petition on Change.org.
“I thought about the other kids. What if they’re questioning who they are or what if they’re just curious about the community,” said Fioravante, “And they want to know something why can’t they access this at school, where they’re suppose to feel safe and they’re supposed to learn.”
After thousands of signatures, the American Civil Liberties Union contacted her about her first amendment free speech rights.
“Working with the ACLU, I got tons of screen shots of all these different web sites ones that are blocked and ones that aren’t blocked. And that’s how we ended up putting everything together and sending a letter to the school,” said Fioravante.

TRENTON, N.J. – Some 300 people and two legislators are attending a Second Amendment rally outside the New Jersey Statehouse.
The group opposes New Jersey’s gun-control laws, which are among the nation’s toughest.
Gov. Chris Christie declined an invitation to address the rally.
The governor has refused to say whether he supports stricter gun laws. Christie created a task force to study gun violence after the Newtown, Ct., school killings.
Organizer Frank Fiamingo says he understands the governor is busy but looks forward to discussing the issue with him.
The rally heard from the Legislature’s two most conservative members, Sen. Michael Doherty and Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll.
Democratic Sen. Barbara Buono, who is running for governor, says she will “take on the gun lobbyists” and fight for new gun restrictions.

US Shooting: Democrat Plans Assault Weapon Ban – Senator Dianne Feinstein of California
A leading US Democrat has said she will seek a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips after 26 people were shot dead in a school in Connecticut. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California told NBC's “Meet the Press” programme: “I'm going to introduce in the Senate, and the same bill will be introduced in the House, a bill to ban assault weapons.” A federal ban on assault weapons, which took effect in 1994, expired in 2004 and efforts to revive it have failed. Although President Barack Obama supported restoring the law while running for president in 2008, he did not make it a priority during his first term. But asked if Mr Obama would throw his support behind her measure, Ms Feinstein said: “I believe he will.” The medical examiner in Newtown said that all the murdered children he examined suffered gunshot wounds from a rifle, believed to be a .223 calibre Bushmaster. Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy said that the weapon was so powerful he was literally able to shoot an entrance into the building. “That's what an assault weapon can do for you,” he said. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, a tearful President said: “We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.” But the scale of the task facing anyone taking on the second amendment right to bear arms was emphasised by Texas Republican Louie Gohmert who maintained gun ownership was a constitutional right that …From:susiescornerViews:23 0ratingsTime:00:15More inNews Politics

US Shooting: Democrat Plans Assault Weapon Ban – Senator Dianne Feinstein of California – Video
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — The leader of the Cayman Islands government on Thursday rejected calls to resign over his arrest on suspicion of corruption, calling the investigation a plot by political enemies who are trying to weaken him and smear his reputation.
Premier McKeeva Bush shrugged off the allegations during a visit to Jamaica’s capital on Thursday, two days after he was arrested by the British Caribbean territory’s police and a day after being released on bail until early February.
The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said they are looking into allegations that Bush misused his government credit card and abused his office by importing explosive devices without valid permits. He was arrested at his home on Grand Cayman on Tuesday morning and interviewed by investigators for two straight days.
No charges have been filed, but police describe their investigation as “very active.”
There has been a growing call for Cayman’s leader to step down since his arrest, which surprised many supporters and critics in the famed Caribbean tax haven. But after giving a commencement address to college graduates in Kingston, a defiant Bush said he has done nothing wrong and intends to stay on as premier.
Bush described Gov. Duncan Taylor, who represents the British monarchy in the three-island territory, as his “enemy.” He implied his arrest was orchestrated by the Britain-appointed governor and other political foes.
“We are a British overseas territory and as such it is run by the governor and the commissioner of police. And so I can’t miss that it is nothing but a political, very vindictive political witch hunt,” Bush said.
A spokesman for the governor, whose post is largely ceremonial, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
In Jamaica, Bush said he wanted to reveal the “whole story” behind his arrest but his lawyers advised him not to speak specifically about the allegations. He said he was confident he will be vindicated in coming months.
“I would just say that I have done nothing wrong,” he said. “I have made a lot of friends and I have made a lot of enemies. There are a lot of jealous people in a very small island.”
