In Gaza today members of Hamas broke up a demonstration against open air prayer. 11 people were hospitalized as a result of this clash. There was even a report of one of the Fatah protesters being killed. The Hamas' reasoning for this ban was " to prevent people from using prayers to incite chaos and sabotage public property,"
My opinion is that, the Hamas are a little hippocratic. They claim to be members of Islam but they're banning Islamic prayer. What's up with that? Hopefully these clashes between Fatah and Hamas don't get any more violent.

A former teacher in Laurens County South Carolina admitted to having sex with at least five of her students. She pleaded guilty Thursday to six charges -- three second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts on a minor. She said, "Today, I publicly admit my guilt and would like to apologize. I sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions." As she awaits trial, she has to wear a tracking device and can't leave the house except to go to chuch and to visit her lawyer.
She shouldn't be able to leave her house at all. It seems that it's only the women teachers who are doing this. Which, I hate to say, is suprising, I would think the guys were the perverts of the bunch. But I guess not.
