'A mother-of-two has been jailed for making two false rape claims against men she was dating after one, who she had met online, failed to show up for a liaison.

Emma Saxon, 23, from Sheffield, was jailed for eight months after telling police she had been raped in a BMW car in a supermarket car park.

The victim of her slur Martin Blood spent 14 hours in a police cell and suffered the indignity of an intimate medical examination while the police spent 90 hours investigating before finally concluding it was a hoax.

Sheffield Crown Court heard Saxon, 23, was given a community penalty in 2007 after a similar false allegation against a former boyfriend.

Jailing her Judge Michael Murphy said: 'Rape is such a terrible, diabolical offence that it is always treated very seriously in these courts. It is a dreadful thing for a person to be raped. It is a most serious allegation for one person to make against another. It is truly awful if it is untrue.'

Most of the U.S. is busy pandering to women. I nominate Bellingham, Washington, as the worst panderer. Men of Bellingham are truly second-class citizens. During about a four month period, I have noticed 33 activities and events that are by, for, and about women. As far as I could tell, none of these events received any complaints. I could only find 2 comparable activities for men, one of which received a complaint of being sexist.

So I took it upon myself to complain to the organizers about the sexism of a few of the women's events. For the most part, I was ignored. Apparently sexism is of little concern if it is against men. One organization, however, did respond to my complaint: its bicycle maintenance class was changed from "for women only" to "especially for women."

One of the events listed is an article in a local newspaper which raved about an appearance of the Chippendale male strippers. I do not believe I will live long enough to see a local mainstream newspaper give a positive review of female strippers.

'New Mexico’s Governor Susana Martinez is celebrating August being Child Support Awareness Month by kicking off a pilot project. The Felony Prosecution Project will seek the prosecution of the state’s worst child support offenders for the abandonment of a child, which is a fourth degree felony under New Mexico law.

It is aimed at increasing the collection of child support from parents who are among the worst offenders at failing to honor their obligations to financially support their children. The project will be a partnership between the New Mexico Human Services Department Child Support Enforcement Division and the District Attorneys’ offices.'

'The first full academic year following the Department of Education’s release of its Sexual Assault Directive has come to a close. The Directive was announced by the Office for Civil Rights on April 4, 2011 without prior notice or opportunity for public comment. Two days later, civil rights expert Wendy Kaminer deplored the “authoritarian impulse” that gave rise to the Directive and predicted it would occasion, in her words, “tragic deprivations of liberty.” (1)

Several of these cases, reported in the media during the 2011-2012 school year, had been adjudicated before the OCR policy took effect:

University of Hawaii at Manoa

September 20, 2011 — Following news of seven allegations of sexual assault filed during the previous academic year, the University’s security chief Wayne Ogino stated that a student could be evicted from a campus dormitory solely on the basis of an accusation. Ogino did acknowedge, however, that some rape accusations did turn out to be “unfounded.” (2)'

'Ecuador has granted asylum to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange two months after he took refuge in its London embassy while fighting extradition from the UK.

It said his human rights might be violated if he is sent to Sweden to be questioned over sex assault claims.

Foreign Secretary William Hague said the UK would not allow Mr Assange safe passage out of the country and the move was also criticised by Stockholm.

Ecuador said it would seek to negotiate arrangements for Mr Assange to leave.'

According to a recent Washington Post article, it looks like the American Academy of Pediatrics is going to come out with a revised statement in favor of circumcision, saying the benefits outweigh the risks.

We think this would be an egregious violation of basic human rights, and a HUGE step backwards. They realized it was wrong to cut baby girls--so why is it okay to cut baby boys? IT'S NOT OKAY!

Visit the AAP's Facebook page -- http://www.facebook.com/AmerAcadPeds -- and send them a message, telling them what YOU think about this possible new statement.

'If you have an interest in the bioethics of studying HIV and associated conditions, consider applying for R01 or R21 funding through a new program announcement from NIH.

Your plan may include conceptual work in bioethics, empirical work gathering and analyzing data relevant to ethical issues, or both. When planning your research team, NIH strongly encourages you to include at least one person with demonstrated expertise and scholarship in bioethics.

NIH welcomes applications on any ethics topic relevant to HIV research, particularly in the following areas:

'Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced the release of more than $68 million to ensure that women, infants, children, and youth living with HIV/AIDS receive comprehensive primary HIV medical care and support services.

The grants, funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, help people who lack sufficient health care coverage or financial resources to manage HIV.

“With these investments, we’re targeting our resources to the communities that need them most,” Secretary Sebelius said. “This will help women, infants and children with HIV get the care and treatment they need by increasing access to comprehensive, coordinated primary care.”'

'I'm sure you've tried to forget it, but - for the sake of men everywhere - let me recap: after a 16-year marriage with no children, your third wife, Faye Eichelberger, ended up with a settlement that made her (quite literally) richer than you.

Not only will you have to pay her £600,000 a year until 2016 (even though you're now technically a pensioner and she's a successful therapist), you also had to give her £8 million in cash, plus assets which included: an apartment in New York, a £2 million home in London and half a beach house in California.

Why? Because you're a man.'

'The top Homeland Security official accused of cultivating a "frat-house"-style work environment has "voluntarily placed herself on leave" amid an internal review, the department told FoxNews.com late Tuesday evening -- just hours after FoxNews.com contacted the agency about new allegations against her.

The official, Suzanne Barr, is chief of staff for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Two more ICE employees came forward this week to complain about "lewd" conduct inside the agency, submitting sworn affidavits that depict graphic comments made by two top officials working under DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.'

'Saudi Arabia has a problem: The Persian Gulf kingdom has an increasingly educated, increasingly unemployed female population and ultraconservative laws and customs that forbid women from mingling, much less working, with men. The Saudis are fashioning an unusual solution, building an industrial city that will allow only women. The female-only zone is scheduled to open in the Eastern Province city of Hofuf next year, with more ladies-only areas to come in Riyadh, the capital. How do these cities-inside-a-city work, and are they good for women?'

'A 33-year-old Pennsylvania woman could spend the rest of her life in prison after admitting to police that she repeatedly poisoned her boyfriend with Visine eye drops for more than three years in a bid for his attention.

Vickie Jo Mills of Ayr Township, Pa., was arrested Thursday and charged with 10 counts of aggravated assault, 10 counts of simple assault and 10 counts of reckless endangerment after she told authorities she slipped Visine eye drops into the drinking water of her boyfriend, 45-year-old Thurman Edgar Nesbitt III.
...
Nesbitt had been sick for years with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and blood pressure and breathing problems, according to police. His doctor, Dr. Harry Johnston, alerted authorities in after detecting traces of tetrahydrozoline, a chemical found in eye drops, in Nesbitt's blood tests.'

'WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victim-advocacy group Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) is charging the White House with politicizing the issue of violence. SAVE says Obama's executive order "Preventing and Responding to Violence Against Women and Girls Globally" marginalizes and ignores the suffering of male victims of violence.

According to the World Health Organization, men are twice as likely to die of violence as women. Globally, violence accounts for 14% of male deaths and 7% of female deaths.'

A lawsuit has been filed in the US against Israeli Government officials for institutional discrimination against men. This is probably the most comprehensive lawsuit ever filed in a court anywhere in the world with regards to men's rights. The lawsuit attacks the institutionalized discrimination against men as a whole.

'A woman depressed and suffering "abnormality of mind" when she left her baby daughter in a bath to drown could be free in less than two months.

The 27-year-old, who can't be named, was sentenced in the Supreme Court in Sydney on Wednesday to a maximum five years in prison with a non-parole period of three years and two months.

She has been in custody since her arrest on August 10, 2009 and could possibly get out of jail on October 9.

In sentencing the woman, Acting Justice Michael Grove said a series of events led to her placing the 17-month-old into a bath and turning on the taps at her Gwynneville unit near Wollongong on July 21, 2009.

While he found she foresaw the probability of her daughter's death, she was suffering from such an "abnormality of the mind" that her capacity to control herself or understand whether her actions were right or wrong was "substantially impaired".'
