Bernadette McGlade named Atlantic 10 commissioner
2008-06-03 17:55:00 Former ACC associate commissioner Bernadette McGlade has been named commissioner of the Atlantic 10 conference. McGlade's background in women's basketball should help in promoting women's programs like the D.C. area's George Washington as well as rivals Temple and St. Joseph's.More important for the Atlantic 10 fandom though may be McGlade's working knowledge of the sports television industry. The conference is still laboring under a restrictive deal signed with the former CSTV. The arrangement has blocked most local broadcasts of A-10 games on systems that don't carry CSTV (now known as CBS College Sports), a large majority of the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. ----Specifically to the D.C. area, the poor television contract has blocked George Washington Colonials from negotiating significant regional carriage deals with Comcast SportsNet (Mid-Atlantic) or with MASN, allowing Maryland, Georgetown and George Mason to dominate local coverage unchallenged.The new A...

2008-05-16 20:28:00 Monday, 12 May 2008, The Christian Institute, says,"The Children's Commissioner in Scotland, Kathleen Marshall, has faced criticism for backing Scottish Law Commission proposals to legalise sex between 13 to 15 year olds.Responding to a Government consultation on sexual offences, the Commissioner argued that while children ought to be protected from the sexual advances of adults, sexual activity between 'consenting' 13 to 15 year-olds should not be illegal."It is right to recognise the general vulnerability of 13 to 16-year-olds by maintaining the general prohibition on sexual activity, backed by the weight of the law," she said. "But I also welcome proposals to take a different approach to consensual activity between young people."Christian groups and other campaigners have criticised the proposals. Rape Crisis Scotland says it is "concerned that the proposed changes might potentially reduce the extent to which young people are protected and limit options for prosecutors".The ag...
