PROBLEM: Hewlett-Packard Co.'s quarter-century alliance with Oracle Corp. has been "strained" by the dispute over Oracle's hiring of ousted HP CEO Mark Hurd  HP's interim chief said Wednesday.
 Cathie Lesjak also said Hurd needs to be "reminded" that he signed agreements to keep HP's trade secrets and other confidential information secret. She said that's why HP is suing to stop him from working at Oracle.
 The ties between the two companies were fraying before Hurd's hiring  as Oracle is muscling in on HP's turf by starting to sell computing hardware.
 Oracle's naming of Hurd as a co-president is a thumb in HP's eye -- assuming Oracle isn't eventually blocked from letting him work. Many legal experts believe that HP's case will be hard to win  because California courts tend to side with workers and their right to take their skills to rival companies.
 Hurd abruptly resigned last month from HP after five years as CEO  in the wake of a sexual-harassment investigation that turned up inaccurate expense reports connected to his accuser. Ellison loudly came to Hurd's defense.
 HP will need an order from the California court where it filed its lawsuit to stop Hurd from working for Oracle. The first hearing in the case isn't scheduled until February  although HP is expected to seek a temporary restraining order before then.
 Hurd started his new job this week and is in charge of Oracle's global sales  consulting  marketing and technical support divisions.
 HP claims that Hurd will be dangerous to its business if he's allowed to work at Oracle  because he was privy while at HP to intimate information about customer accounts and HP's strategy for countering Oracle. HP claims that Hurd won't be able to do his job without divulging HP's secrets.
 Hurd took a severance package from HP that could top $40 million. Oracle revealed in a regulatory filing Wednesday that Hurd's new job will pay an annual salary of $950 000  and makes Hurd eligible for a target bonus of $5 million in the current fiscal year.

SOLUTION: HP ' s interim chief says Oracle alliance ' strained '

PROBLEM: 'Jesus talked about  Sodom'
The Rev. Raedorah Stewart  stood with the protesters backing the gay couple.  She  wore lavender glasses to match  her  purple vestments and described  herself  as a queer woman in  her  60s.  She 's also the faculty director of the Writing Center at Wesley Theological Seminary and a minister at Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ in Washington.
 Stewart  said  she  has experienced bigotry because of  her  race and sexuality.  She  was skeptical about finding middle ground with the conservative protesters.
"There is no compromise in determining who is human and deserves justice. I would not seek to persuade them other than to say  'You are made in the image of God  and I am made in the image of God  and we are both entitled to equal rights.' "
Stewart  said  she  also has encountered suspicion from LGBT people who are skeptical about religious believers  especially ministers. "Sometimes they don't see me as a queer person "  she  said  "even though am I no Bible-thumper."
What would  Stewart  do if  she  had a business and white supremacists wanted  her  to make a sign for their rally  an analogy some conservatives have made to Phillips' cake shop?
So maybe it's not the bedrock beliefs espoused by protesters like  Stewart  and Bayly that make the Masterpiece Cakeshop case so difficult to decide. Maybe it's the Solomonic  split-the-baby task of determining whose self-interests should win out. It seems like a zero-sum game  inflamed by the partisanship that makes small compromises seem like big defeats. You can see that in Roy Moore's candidacy  the battle over the Holy Land  and any number of religious hot spots around the world.
