The minority leader in the Indiana House is drafting an amendment to strip the controversial second sentence out of a constitutional proposal to ban same sex marriage.

But Rep. Scott Pelath said he's not certain he'll call the language for a vote. Instead, the Michigan City Democrat said he's analyzing the best way to defeat the proposal.

The constitutional amendment - House Joint Resolution 3 - would, first, define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The second sentence would prohibit any legal relationship that is "identical or substantially similar" to marriage.

"My first approach is to extinguish the obvious stink bomb of the second sentence and if they are going to insist to move this forward, let's at least get that monstrous language out of there," Pelath said. "The second approach is letting HJR 3 die under its own lumbering brontosaurus-like weight."

Pelath said he'll talk to members of the Democratic caucus - who hold just 31 of the chamber's 100 seats - before deciding how to proceed.

An amendment to HJR 3 means the constitutional amendment process would likely restart. That could postpone a possible ratification by voters from this fall to 2016.

Republicans will likely be waiting for Pelath's decision as well. Rep. Casey Cox, R-Fort Wayne, voted for HJR 3 when it came before the House Elections Committee this week. But later, he said that he may vote against the proposal when it reaches the House floor next week.

Cox said he wants to "reconsider" the second sentence. He cited concerns raised by a lawyer with Indiana University, who said the provision threatens the school's ability to offer benefits to same-sex partners.

"I thought IU's council made some points that certainly need further discussion," Cox said. "The caucus really wanted this to come to the floor. I can understand that. If it remains intact, I certainly reserve the right to vote no."

Reactivated late '80s/early '90s technical-thrash metallers BELIEVER will release their new album, "Transhuman", on April 12 (one day earlier internationally) via Metal Blade Records. The CD was produced by Trauma Team Productions and was mixed by Kevin Gutierrez (RAVEN, PROJECT: FAILING FLESH, DECEASED, DYSRYTHMIA, GARDEN OF SHADOWS) at Assembly Line Studios in Virginia.

Once again, BELIEVER tapped into the artistic genius of Michael Rosner and Eye Level Studio to produce the "Transhuman" artwork and layout.

"We wanted to work with Roz again on 'Transhuman' as our visions of combining art and music truly parallel," the band said. "He just gets it and his artwork is outside the typical box in a way that we strive for musically. It is an amazing collaboration that we have with Roz that continues to evolve. We are excited for everyone to see the final layout!"

The band continued; "Sonically we're extremely happy with this album and can't wait for other people to hear it. We feel like this is a really strong and unique album in the BELIEVER catalog and it's something we're definitely proud of.

"So what will you hear? As we mentioned, we focused more on the overall musicality which included more instrumental layers than we used before. The vocals were also more of a focus as we have had much feedback throughout the years, specifically to get out of the one dimensional realm. Kurt [Bachman] wanted the vocals to be more complimentary to the overall tune feel, so he used many facets of his vocal abilities.

"As with all BELIEVER albums, this one is definitely unique."

Transhumanism: The study of the ramifications, promises, and potential dangers of technologies that will enable us to overcome fundamental human limitations, and the related study of the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies.

Fans can pre-order their copy of "Transhuman" at link textthis location where the album is available on its own or bundled with a t-shirt. Also available on the band's pre-order page is a video that shows how the cover art came to be. Below are some images taken from the extraordinary artwork within the CD's packaging.

BELIEVER performed live for the first time in 16 years on September 25, 2009 at Sterling Hotel in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The band's fourth album, "Gabriel", was released in March 2009 through KILLSWITCH ENGAGE frontman Howard Jones's new imprint label Cesspool Records via Metal Blade. The CD featured guest appearances by Jones, Joe Rico (SACRIFICE), CKY/WORLD UNDER BLOOD guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller and Rocky Gray (EVANESCENCE, SOUL EMBRACED, LIVING SACRIFICE).

Are You a Transhuman?: Monitoring and Stimulating Your Personal Rate of Growth in a Rapidly Changing World by FM-2030

Towards the end of the eighties, I had came across a few unusual books, which retrospectively had somehow influenced what I am doing today & in fact what I love to do today i.e. to pursue future-focused, change-oriented, brain-based technologies.

This unique book was one of them. It had been brilliantly written by a 'self-described chronic optimist' & a widely-traveled futurist/philosopher of Iranian origin, whose adopted name, FM-2030, seemed to resonate with his life-long obsessive conviction to create "a world of boundless wealth, endless life & unlimited free refills." [His real name was F M Esfandiary. I understand FM-2030 died from pancreatic cancer on July 8, 2000 at the age of 69, & was placed in cryonic suspension at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, where his body remains today.]

Although I do not subscribe to all the author's beliefs & values as embodied in his book, I certainly admired his bold initiatives & far-sightedness.

This wonderful book spelt out both personal strategies & practical pathways to help people to achieve longevity & immortality. To me, it had served as a comprehensive field guide to life extension or 'transhumanism', which was the term the author would prefer to use.

From my personal perspective, the greatest learning experience I got out of this book is learning - & understanding - how to access & apply available technolgies &/or new products or services to extend human capabilities & capacities in an ethical, safe & responsible manner.
