This exclusive, extended footage from Vanguard's “Missionaries of Hate” shows American evangelical leader Lou Engle at a rally in Uganda this May. Engle, founder of TheCall Ministry and a chief campaigner for Proposition 8, the measure that outlawed same sex marriage in California, traveled to the east African nation to headline a prayer event. “We know that Uganda has been under tremendous pressure,” Engle said at the rally. “I felt like TheCall was to come and join with the church of Uganda.” In “Missionaries of Hate,” correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to Uganda, where many question whether the growing influence of American religious groups has led to a movement to make homosexuality a crime punishable by death. “Vanguard,” airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) — An ordinance was passed Tuesday for all pit bulls in San Bernardino County to be spayed or neutered. City officials worked with the county's Animal Care and Control Division to create the ordinance. Authorities say the objective of the ordinance is to reduce the overpopulation of pit bulls in San Bernardino County, to encourage responsible pet ownership and to reduce the number of violent pit bull attacks. “In the past five years, four people in San Bernardino County have been killed by this breed, and just this year there have been seven attacks by pit bulls. No other breed has viciously attacked or killed anyone in that time,” said First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt. The new rule requires all pit bulls and pit bull-type dogs older than 4 months to be spayed or neutered. Also, all such dogs used for breeding will be required to be licensed. State law prohibits any breed of dog from being deemed potentially dangerous or vicious, but the law allows local agencies to enact breed-specific programs for spaying and neutering to control over-population. Owners of pit bulls will be required to spay or neuter their dogs within 30 days of the new rule's implementation. Animal Care and Control will help pet owners comply with the ordinance by offering education and vouchers to those who are eligible. Pit bulls or pit bull-type dogs represent about 20 percent of all dogs that are admitted to animal shelters. They are also one of the top three breeds impounded at county shelters and the most frequent to be euthanized.

Today, Judge Martin Feldman, a U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana, sided with a drilling company which had argued that the Obama administration’s blanket, 6-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico was illegal. The drilling company, Hornbeck Offshore Services of Covington, LA, claimed financial distress from the imposition of the moratorium. In the ruling handed down this afternoon, Judge Feldman agreed, writing that the administration made an “arbitrary and capricious” decision that would have an “immeasurable effect on the plaintiffs, the local economy, the Gulf region, and the critical present-day aspect of the availability of domestic energy in this country.” Like many judges presiding in the Gulf region, Feldman owns lots of energy stocks, including Transocean, Halliburton, and two of BP’s largest U.S. private shareholders — BlackRock (7.1%) and JP Morgan Chase (28.3%). Here’s a list of Feldman’s income in 2008 (amounts listed unless under $1,000): BlackRock ($12000- $36000) Ocean Energy ($1000 – $2500) NGP Capital Resources ($1000 – $2500) Quicksilver Resources ($5000 – $15000) Hercules Offshore ($6000 – $17500) Provident Energy Peabody Energy PenGrowth Energy RPC Inc Atlas Energy Resources Parker Drilling TXCO Resources EV Energy Partners Rowan Companies BPZ Resources El Paso Corp KBR Inc Chesapeake Energy ATP Oil & Gas In his opinion today, Feldman wrote, “Oil and gas production is quite simply elemental to Gulf communities.” Indeed, it is so elemental that the justice system is invested in the oil and gas industry. As TP’s Ian Millhiser has written, “Industry ties among federal judges are so widespread that they are beginning to endanger the courts’ ability to conduct routine business. Last month, so many members of the right-wing Fifth Circuit were forced to recuse themselves from an appeal against various energy and chemical companies that there weren’t enough untainted judges left to allow the court to hear the case.” added by: JanforGore
