Isle of Man News, Articles and InformationRights and wrongsLAW exists to protect our lives and our liberties. Important issues of law arise again and again from the recurring conflict between these two objectives.Since the terrorist attacks on New York in 2001 and London in 2005, the American and British parliaments and courts have had to wrestle with this issue: How can one protect the safety of the public without injustice to the individual? Under the Romans, there was a simple, if brutal, answer: The safety of the Republic is the supreme law. That maxim is still quoted by legal authorities in our own age. But Parliament and judges have to reconcile the safety of the public with the requirement of due process of law. Last week saw two legal decisions, one in England and one in the United States, on this issue of protecting security without destroying liberty. Swap pain to achieve gainA Diploma of Remedial Massage, and acupressure, shiatsu and sports massage qualifications soon followed, giving Mr McCarthy a good understanding of the body before he studied a form of myotherapy in 1993, now called SLM Bodywork.With skills to treat pain and injury, he started to specialise in the treatment of pain and injury achieving great results. The treatment is a hands-on holistic massage which gives outstanding results to alleviate pain and injury, he said. Tight adherent muscles are the cause of many ailments. This treatment is one of the most thorough remedial treatments available. Mr McCarthy has a vast knowledge and interest in sports medicine and sports nutrition and also incorporates Chinese medicine in his philosophy and practice, which results in a mixture of Eastern and Western principles in his treatments. For 62p, a year of the Queen or a minute of England v PortugalBuckingham Palace dug deep into its reserves of hubris yesterday to come up with a topical World Cup analogy for the Queen's cost to the nation.In previous years, Alan Reid, the keeper of the privy purse, has compared the 80-year-old monarch to the price of a loaf of bread and two pints of milk. This time, issuing the Royal Public Finances annual report, he claimed that the purely notional annual cost of Her Majesty to her subjects was 62p a head, or a minute's worth of attendance at Saturday's England versus Portugal match. .
Horton stands the test of time as a Detroit gemHe sat at a corner bar stool at the Lindell A.C., a venerable bar that shall always remain a part of our rich sports history. This is where my mother worked and I often knocked down one of their third-pound burgers after a Tigers game.He was the Tigers' starting left fielder and I met Horton during a time when players actually mingled with fans in social settings. He wore a sport jacket and crew-cut sweater underneath. It was the spring of 1968 and he was one of my first childhood heroes, along with Lem Barney, Al Kaline and Earl Wilson. To us kids who played baseball at old Pattengill Elementary School, Horton was just as big as Pudge Rodriguez, Ben Wallace and Steve Yzerman are today. Actually, Horton was bigger because he not only was a Tigers slugger but he played at nearby Northwestern High School, a place where we'd later walk to play tennis and baseball.
Letter: The lion and the foxMany kinds of animals are used to illustrate the lessons of politics and statecraft: Here I will mention only two, the lion and the fox.Several familiar historical analogies are used and reused to make political points; here I will use one that is probably unfamiliar to most readers and let them draw from it what they will: the tragedy of Daniel O'Connell, the Liberator. Almost two centuries ago, Daniel O'Connell was the lion of the Irish Catholics' movement for freedom and representation in the British parliament. At the time, the only Irish who could be elected to parliament were Protestants. Both the Protestants (oranges) and Catholics (greens) were Gaelic and often considered themselves Irish, but the former had come from Scotland at the behest of the British Crown. Thus, they were considered loyal to England.
Louisiana Faces Battle Against Mother NatureNEW ORLEANS -- Last year's hurricanes showed that nearly every part of Louisiana's long, circuitous and sinking coast is vulnerable to catastrophic flooding similar to what happened here.Engineers are already working on the earthen levees and floodgates around New Orleans, but officials say there is also an urgent need to pour money into a second line of defense: The natural world of barrier islands and marshlands that stand between towns and the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday, state and federal officials embarked on a tour of several multimillion dollar projects started before Katrina and Rita. The work involved building sand dunes, planting marsh grasses and dumping mud on shorelines. The tour of islands where pirates once held court and plantations flourished highlights the desperate, and seemingly futile, war Louisiana is fighting against Mother Nature while it tries to patch up the human mistakes of the past.
