Rhetoric of religious right continues to fuel violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people
Task Force: Today's attack on men in New Bedford gay bar points to climate of hate created by right-wing obsession with homosexuality
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — A man went on a rampage early this morning at a gay bar in New Bedford, Mass., wounding three patrons in what police said appeared to be a hate crime. According to media reports, one victim was in critical condition with head wounds.
Statement by Matt Foreman, Executive Director National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"The hatred and loathing fueling this morning's vicious attack on gay men in New Bedford is not innate, it is learned. And who is teaching it? Leaders of the so-called Christian right, that's who. Individuals like James Dobson of Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins, the Rev. Pat Robertson and their ilk are obsessed with homosexuality. They use their vast resources, media networks and affiliated pulpits to blame lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people for all the ills of society. They disguise their hatred as 'deeply held religious beliefs.' We have witnessed seven years of vicious anti-LGBT organizing in Massachusetts — and endured the hate-filled rantings of Brian Camenker of the Article 8 Alliance and Parents Rights Coalition and Ed Pawlick of MassNews. The blood spilled this morning is on their hands."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Holiday style: Fashion advice for meeting the parents
By Brett Olsen and Ashley Oerman
Your man loves your decolletage, but his mother shouldn't have to see it. No low-cut tops or miniskirts (your hemline should extend to just above your knee, at least). Add opaque tights for extra warmth and modesty.
More from The Blush: Things you have been doing wrong forever
Skip the stilettos
An intimate family gathering at home is not the place for sky-high heels -- you don't want to look like you're trying too hard. Try flats or a kitten heel instead.
More from The Blush: How to avoid a pedicure nightmare
Wear a bra (seriously)
We don't care how thin those straps are on your dress, or that the back dips down. Showing up at his grandmother's house without a bra is a sure way to be an outcast. Trust us, she'll notice.
More from The Blush: The best beauty inventions of 2012
Choose simple accessories
Wear your grandmother's antique chandelier earrings, or a delicate gold necklace. Think pretty, not flashy.
More from The Blush: The WORST fashion and beauty advice ever
Leave your denim at home
We know denim can be dressed up or down for any occasion, but his parents may think it's disrespectful. Dress slacks or a pencil skirt are stylish options, especially if a religious ceremony is involved.
Go with natural nails
A few coats of neutral polish are a great alternative to your festive nail art. You want his mom to see you and think Duchess Kate, not Lady Gaga.
Keep your perfume light
When in doubt, skip your signature fragrance -- your scented shampoo and soap will be more than enough. You don't want to give his grandpa a migraine.
Skip the lipstick
Wear a lip stain or gloss instead -- it's less likely to stick to your teeth, which is never a good look.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4 out of 5�by 43 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by RobH Light and comfy - with socks on I wanted slides to wear in lieu of flip-flops. I discovered that, when worn barefoot, the upper rubs/grates on the top of my foot (friction) and quickly makes it feel raw. I have never owned slides before, so I'm reiewing this without any other point of reference. I adjusted the straps to fit my feet as well as I can, so it may simply require a bit of a break-in period (with socks on) before they can be worn barefoot. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hines24 This product is very comfortable. It is like walking on air. Very comfortable after playing 4 games of soccer. August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Footwear Expert Comfy This is a very comfortable saddle, with lots of cushion. Not to be used for long distance walking. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Boog Great slides adidas makes a great shoe. Dick's sells them at a great price. And they stand behind what they sell! July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Rich Could be more comfortable The a quality of the shoe is good but it was rubbing by the velcro strap. Hope rubbing goes away once they are broken in. July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Callcar54 Great comfort I bought a pair of slip ons a few years ago while on vacation. They were the best. Trouble is they don't make that style any more. This shoe comes in close with comfort. July 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Nick75 Not my favorite pair of flip-flops. Although I like the design and the soft, yet firm foam footbed, the sandal itself isn't my favorite simply because the foam 'sticks' to my socks, so whenever I'm wearing them, my feet get pulled forward. They don't just fit in there naturally, like they have with other sandals. I'm hoping that over time an indentation will form to the contours of my foot, but until then, I'll have to deal with the sock pulling. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by m7ddline most comfortable slides ever Seriously I've been missing out use in a hotel now I got some for the house these things Sr no joke on comfort a little high but when the break in theyl smash down June 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Plattman Doesn't fit right These don't fit right on my foot. In the store when they are tied together it is hard to tell how they fit. They pinch my foot on the top and they go sideways after walking in them for a half block no matter how I try to adjust them. May 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by DealShopper Adidas got Cheap and Shorten their Slides Had a similar pair for 4 years now and been very pleased with the comfort and fit so wanted a backup set. Ordered a pair of UltraFOAM online, since local store didn't have them in stock, selected the same size as my original ones, being a 13 inch length and like the other one, it's also designed to get wet. Adidas changed the design slightly with three white stripes on the strap, but the sole material seemed to be similar.by product description. So, received my package in the mail, open it and tried them on. Was I ever disappointed, the length was very short and thought I ordered the wrong size. But verified the size on each slide which had imprinted with the size 13 inch, so looked at my original slides which were also a 13 inch length imprinted on the sole. Did side by side comparison, the new pair was 1.5 inches shorter, in length. Talk about a shock seeing that difference. Last year, I ordered another type and style of Adidas slides, the different was it's not recommended to get wet, but was very cushiony. However, the size was 13 inch length and it did match in size to my original pair that I had for 4 years now in a side by side comparison. So, that's why I ordered these UltraFOAM slides in a 13 inch size figuring I would get same size, but was I ever wrong. Adidas either messed up on the manufacturing or my 13 inch size is a different, much smaller size now, probably based on some new shoe standard. In the end, I'll be sending these back. Very disappointed in Adidas for this product. February 24, 2014

It's amazing how quickly your life can change. For Barry Lamkin of Norwell, that moment came on June 25, 2011 when he was participating in a charity bike ride. While he was winding his way up a curvy road, a truck came around the bend in the opposite direction. He was hit.
Paramedics soon arrived, began treatment and transported Barry to South Shore Hospital. During the ride, he slipped in and out of consciousness, moaning in pain. Once in the Emergency Department, the trauma team assessed his injuries. The tally: nine broken ribs, a broken femur, a fractured scapula, a fractured clavicle, a separated shoulder and a partially collapsed lung.
Barry immediately had a chest tube inserted to relieve lung pressure and underwent surgery to have a titanium rod placed in his leg. From surgery, he spent nine days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Inpatient occupational and physical therapy followed during his two-week hospital stay. Barry then spent three months recuperating at a skilled nursing facility and at home before he was able to put weight on his legs or use his shoulder.
"I couldn't be more impressed and grateful for the care I received from everyone at South Shore Hospital — the paramedics, emergency department and ICU teams, surgeons and occupational and physical therapists," says Barry. "My experience reinforced how fortunate we are to have a vital resource like this on the South Shore. Twenty years ago, I probably would have been taken to a Boston hospital after my accident. South Shore Hospital made it possible for me to be treated and recuperate close to home."
Today, Barry is riding regularly and has built a new bike to celebrate his 65th birthday in October. "I often think I have nine lives and that I've used six of them," he says. "I only hope South Shore Hospital can care for me in the three lives I have left."
You, too, or a family member may need lifesaving treatment someday. If that time comes, you'll find comfort in knowing South Shore Hospital is here to help. Please consider making a generous gift today.

LIVE CHAT With Damon Horowitz: When have you realized that you were wrong about what you once thought was right? June 8, 2011, 5-6PM EDT
Join us for a LIVE conversation with serial entrepreneur, philosophy professor, and Google Director of Engineering, Damon Horowitz.
This conversation will open at 5:00PM EDT, June 8th, 2011.
"I am curious to hear what prompts people to moral reflection and reconsideration: When have you realized that you were wrong about what you once thought was right?"
Closing Statement from Damon Horowitz
I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and experiences here. My TEDxSV talk was intended as a provocation for the technology industry in particular to reflect further upon our ethical decision making – but I am delighted to see that it has encouraged much broader discussion.
The prominent themes I hear in this conversation reinforce the value of education, experience, and humility in our moral development. So long as we continually challenge ourselves to question our beliefs, there is some small possibility that we will not always be wrong about what is right.

Comment deleted
Jun 8 2011: There are a number of threads of philosophical discussion on the subject of ethical decision making in conditions of incomplete information, or other kinds of uncertainty. Many of these take as their starting point Mill's version of utilitarianism, and the proposition that perhaps we can only be held morally responsible -- praise- or blame- worthy -- for those consequences of our actions that we were able to predict... or should have been able to predict. Of course, that particular line presupposes already a consequentialist framework, but it also does dovetail in an interesting way with the question of how we might reevaluate our positions.
Jun 8 2011: As I think on this, I realize that many of the decision that I later decided were ethical mistakes were made after too MUCH contemplation. In contrast, those decisions that were made wholly by gut, and which seemed to have no other possible outcome are rarely the ones I regret or feel were wrong.
This seems paradoxical, but it somehow calls to mind the concept of kin selection in genes. Is my ability to see something as "wrong" affected by how viscerally I felt (or feel) about its value or importance to me?

The Roma, bedraggled-looking women, men, and babies, landed at the city's Henri Coanda airport, saying they had lived in camps, slept rough in the woods, or in other accommodation. Some refused to talk with reporters and concealed their faces.

While we brace ourselves for the inevitable new round of Mark-Richt-on-the-hot-seat talk with the arrival of the SEC's annual media days, it's interesting to see the way expectations of what Richt needs to do to keep his job vary.
Recently we discussed here how many wins we thought Richt needed to get this season to keep his job, and the consensus appears to be that 10 wins was a sure thing, nine probably would save him and if it was eight, it would depend on whether that number included a victory over Florida.
But while South Carolina appears still to be most prognosticators' favorite to win the SEC East, Georgia has popped up in quite a few predictions as the dark horse to take the division, and CollegeFootball News even goes so far as to posit that if the Dogs don't win the East, Richt won't be back.
Their all-or-nothing reasoning goes like this: "The timing couldn't be better to come out of the blue and be a major player in the SEC. Florida probably has one more year before it becomes a monster again, Tennessee is still sleeping, and South Carolina, as good as it is, is still South Carolina; there's going to be a gaffe or two along the way. Georgia might have a ton of flaws, and it might be relying on a slew of unknowns to carry the way, but the East is never going to get easier than it is right now, and Richt has to take advantage. … No, Georgia won't be 2010 Auburn, but it could rise up and be good enough to win the East and play for the SEC title. And if not, next year will be all about a new era in Georgia football."
Summing up its preview of Georgia, CFN says, "The season will be a success if … the Dawgs win the East. When you miss the three best teams from the West — Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas — and get South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Auburn at home, you have to take advantage of it. There are major holes on the offensive line, receiver, and linebacker, but the schedule is favorable, the influx of new talent should be a boost, and the desperation is there to win the East. Winning the SEC title is a stretch considering how good the West champion will be, but getting to the title game will be enough for Richt to stick around."
At the other extreme, the Macon Telegraph asks whether Richt's recruiting prowess and the commitments he keeps snagging might not be enough for him to keep his job even if the Dogs have another subpar year on the field, simply because a coaching change might send some of those recruits elsewhere.
I'm not buying either of those scenarios.
While winning the SEC East would surely boost Richt's stock quite a bit, I don't believe his job is riding on it. At the same time, if the wheels come off and Georgia has a disaster of a season, I don't think nonbinding verbal commitments from some blue-chip recruits who may or may not pan out down the road are going to be enough to save Richt. That will still come down to wins and losses.
What do you think?
While I'm dismayed yet another Georgia running back has gotten himself in trouble, I have to admit the first thought I had when I heard Carlton Thomas likely won't be playing against Boise State was that at least Mike Bobo won't be tempted to run him up the middle on third-and-long.

I don't think it rides on wins/losses or winning the East. Would a 7-5 record that won the East keep Coach Richt's job? Would an 11-1 record without playing in the Dome for the second time this season keep his job?
If we GATA, see much improvement in the defense, and promise on offense, Coach Richt will keep his job.

CMR is a fine coach. He has had some bad luck. We never get blown out. Hopefully, the changes in the S&C program will turn the close game tide in our advantage.

He needs to win the east have have at least a 9 win season to keep his job.
July 20th, 2011
10:53 am
Richt needs to finish in the top 25 in the national rankings. That means 9 or 10 wins. Be nice to beat South Carolina to win the East, since Florida has that brutal October schedule of Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Georgia.
You figure Richt gets 4 wins against these losing teams:
Coastal Carolina, New Mexico St, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss
Richt should win these 3 against unranked teams:
Georgia Tech, Kentucky, and Tennessee
Richt will just need to win 2 of these 5 against ranked teams:
Boise, South Carolina, Auburn, Florida, and Mississippi St.
Beat Florida, and go 8-4, Richt still should be fired.
Top 25 or Bust.

we got blown out last year by Auburn. We got blown out twice the year before by UT and UF. Blown out by Bama and UF the year before that. MR is not a fine coach – he's a great offensive coordinator who lucked out by having a crappy SEC in '02 and an oppossing coach who can be just as suspect in the '05 SECCG.

"Richt's recruiting prowess and the commitments he keeps snagging"
What good is it if you can't develop the talent when they get there or, worse yet, do not even have the ability to hack it on the academic side.

Why can't UGA be the 2010 Auburn (without the cheaters) you never know when a team can get a couple players to step up and develop a great chemistry. BTW all Dawg fans should check out http://www.sweetpons.com !
July 20th, 2011
11:02 am
I am refusing to buy into the doom and gloom until the results warrant it. Richt refuses to play everybody else's game of cheating, lying and making promises to kids and then backing out of the promise later.
Maybe it is the way of the world but it is interesting to me how quiet it is in Athens this summer. Word I get is that the players are working their butts off and staying out of trouble and not listening to the naysayers.
All of the Richt haters and UGA opponents better hope he flops again because if he ever gets the talent to be disciplined and gets results from the S&C program, God help all of you.
To your blog topic Bill:
8-4 and beat Florida will keep him around
9-3 will do the same
10-2 and win the East and we have him around for another 5 years
I think SC will beat us. I also think we will lose on the road to UT.
If he is 2-3 after we play the Mississippi schools, he is done.
July 20th, 2011

Winning championships is NOT the goal of this administration. The only goal is to stay competitive and make $$$$$$$$$$$. And UGA is one of the best year in and year out doing it. Look for no major changes in anything until Adams retires in the next 5 years. I am also starting to hear rumors that Greg McGarity is all talk and is weak. No Jeremy Foley.

No set number of W's will decide if he stays.
1)Win all the ones you are suppose to win;
2)Stay in the ones your not and win some of them;
3)No major breakdowns i.e. UCF, Colo, SC form 2010.
4)Play smart disciplined ball and with a 'Junkg yard Dawg" attitude;
5)Show creativity, suprises, ability to adjust and game planning that keeps opponents off balance (100% coaching here; CMR better step in and show he can coach some coaches!)
If CMR raises the bar in all these areas, he will stay regardless of record.
I am expecting 9-11 W's.

Kellen Moore completes 65% of his passes of 15+ yards, which is better than Murray's 5 yard completion rate. Gonna be a long opening night for Georgia, Kellen Moore is going to bomb the defense all night long, and he usually doesn't miss. Boise scored 30+ in every game against ranked teams except 1 last year, where they got 26 points. Boise will win, and South Carolina will win, Coach Richt will start 0-2, and need to go on some kind of run, 9 out of 10, to finish 9-3.
July 20th, 2011
11:25 am
No he does not have to win the East. I can see 9-3 and not winning the East. If we go 9-3, beat Florida, and win the bowl game to finish 10-3 he stays with an extension. 10-3 = a finish inside the Top 10.

Long-time Dawg fan here, and…to me…it's not just a matter of how many games we win or whether we win the East of not.
I want to see Georgia:
1. Not embarrass the fan base by having a lot of legal or academic troubles splashed all over the media.
2. Actually look like they are prepared for the game.
3. Play tough defense.
4. Continue their good special teams play of last season. (First year in many that the kickoff coverage was decent.)
5. Play to WIN, not just play to keep from losing. (Running a draw play off-tackle on third and long is a good call occasionally…but not four third-and-long downs in a row.)
6. Play power football…"finesse" football does not do well in the SEC.
7. No more gimmicks, especially about what we wear. If we need to black out a stadium to get up for Alabama, or wear special-colored helmets to get up for Florida…we shouldn't be in the conference.
8. Maintain discipline. I hope to NEVER see Georgia players dancing and boogeying on the sidelines in the late fourth quarter of a game we're losing. We're not that FSU scum, and I want us to stop acting like it.
9. Beat the teams that we're clearly better than, and beat them handily. It'd be nice to give our second string offense (for example) a chance to play the entire fourth quarter…and our second string QB a chance to run the offense without looking over his shoulder expecting to get pulled if he makes a mistake.
If we can play like a serious football team again, the winning will take care of itself.

Bill haven't you heard that Richt won 2 SEC championships in 10 years, and he is the greatest coach that UGA has ever had. He also has beaten Tech 9 out of 10years. He isn't on the hot seat and he never will be in some of these Ga. fans eyes. They don't care if he has a .500 record in the SEC the past 3 years, or that he is 2 and 8 against Florida, which was the team he was hired to beat, and not Ga.Tech.Nor does it matter that he is the worst game day coach in the SEC, and that he has hired the worst offensive and defensive coordinators in the SEC. Nor does it matter that he has been at UGA 10 years and yet he has the least amount of depth of any of the top 6 or 7 programs in the conference. What matters to these UGA fans is that he is a Saint, and good ole boy, and he is a good spokesman for the school, and as long as he is competitve against Fl. and loses by only 2 touchdowns and he beats Tech, he will be their hero. Because UGA fans are different from fans at other SEC schools, they only want to have a program that is mediocre, because that is what they became accustomed to when Dooley was there, and that is the person they measure Richt to. So going 6-7 is no big deal to them, hell Dooley had several 6-5 seasons and he lasted 25 years. The way i see it, Richt has about 15 MEDIOCRE seasons left.
July 20th, 2011
11:31 am
It's likely Tennessee beats Georgia, after all, the home team is 4 & 0 in the last 4 meetings.
It's likely Richt goes 1-4 against the 5 ranked teams (Auburn, Boise, SC, MSU, Florida). Since Richt is 2-9 vs. ranked teams since 2008. And 0-6 vs. winning teams last season.
That would bring the record to 1-5.
Richt would need to win all 6 of these games to finish 7-5:
New Mex, C Carolina, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss.
Win the Bowl, and finish 8-5. Richt's Bowl record is solid, so he usually wins that game.
July 20th, 2011
11:32 am
What happened to all our linemen? Wasn't it only a few years ago Mark Richt was basically saying he will never again be caught with low numbers on the O-line? regardless of injuries or attrition?
Whatever happened to that?
This is such a disturbing trend in his coaching tenure of lack of capable O-linemen.
Oh, he'll go a couple years here and there when we supposedly have one of the strongest. Or maybe the strongest 1st 5 (until they get hurt) and then their depth destroys them.
And the D-line isn't exactly what it once was with Seymour or Pollack along with others, were there.
Jeez, do we need to take every other year and devote 20 out of 25 scholarships to linemen?
Of course, the evaluation level has seemed to be a problem also. But that's a whole new can of worms.
What ya'll say…..
July 20th, 2011

1953, What is his record vs Saban, Miles, Spurrier? Yep, he is a terrible coach.
July 20th, 2011
11:39 am
Forget it. Richt goes 5-7 and gets the boot. Richt loses to every ranked team on the schedule, and Tenn pulls a shocker in Knoxville. Richt wins 5 out of 6 against the unranked teams. In other words, 2010 all over again.
Boise State
South Carolina
Missisippi State
Ole Miss
Coastal Carolina
New Mexico State
Georgia Tech
July 20th, 2011
11:42 am
If this team shows improvement, Richt will keep his job. I know this upsets many of the fans on the message boards who would say UGA needs to win at least the east, but they are not the ones who make the decisions. And the bottom line is that those people are still strongly in his corner. In reality, I think that an 8 win season and he is safe. Now on the message boards, he will be fired if he doesn't win the east. I don't know why UGA does not have the same high standards that Alabama, Florida, and LSU have, but mediocrity and underachieving are acceptable at UGA. And it's a shame considering the potential this program has to be one of the dominant powers in college football.
July 20th, 2011
11:43 am
I'll take that bet
Richt loses to every ranked team??
Kentucky and Tennessee and auburn won't be ranked.
July 20th, 2011
11:43 am
BMDPD, how did he do against those coaches the last time he played all of them? What was his record against Meyer, and what is his record against Florida? I would say that is a terrible coach. Sugarcoat it all you want, but luckily for him he coaches at UGA, where 8 or 9 wins and he will be at UGA forever. UGA=Medicority period!!!
July 20th, 2011
11:46 am
[...] here are some talking points as Media Days kicks off.3. Should Mark Richt's job depend upon him winning the SEC East this year? (No.)4. If you like blitzing, you'll like Kentucky's new defense.5. [...]
July 20th, 2011
11:47 am
I proudly support Coach Richt and want him to be the man who rights the ship and takes Georgia back to the top of the SEC. That being said, I think he'll either have to win the East or come in a darn-close second this year to keep his seat at a reasonable temperature. If he goes 9-3, he should be fine, but one of those victories HAS to be in Jacksonville.
July 20th, 2011
11:48 am
The truth is NO ONE knows what it will take for Richt to keep his job or lose it except for McGarity and Adams. If this constant bickering by the Dawg Nation keeps up, is it possible Richt decides to leave on his own? He would be a hot commodity at about 100 schools around the country.
July 20th, 2011
11:48 am
MeanMachine, i salute you. Finally a uga fan that drinks the same kool-aid i do. You will find out, it takes alot of balls to come on this blog and not except UGA for what it is, and that is a mediocre program, with mediocre fans that don't demand excellence, or at least an attempt to become excellent. If you expect nothing out of someone, that is probably what you will get. The nightmare in Athens continues!!
July 20th, 2011
11:49 am
There five ranked teams, Boise, South Carolina, Aub, Miss State, and Florida according to ESPN. Richt will lose to all five. Tenn is unranked, but has home field advantage, which means the winner in last 4. Kent is unranked but will be that one Richt loses every year to a far inferior team, like Colorado last year or it could be Georgia Tech or Ole Miss, it will be either Kent, G Tech or Ole Miss to get that 7th loss.
July 20th, 2011
11:50 am
How many times can you ask when Richt is going to get fired?
July 20th, 2011
11:51 am
Richt is a victim of his own success and now he has to pay the price with wins or leave.
The question facing McGarity is what does it take to warrant a change?
The ESPN folks like May and Herbstreit will be all over McGarity if Richt's team shows improvement and wins 8 games or 9 and gets fired.
The bigger question is "Who do you hire and what guarantee do you have that UGA will win with a new coach?"
A lot of this stuff is timing. Dooley never had to face Spurrier at Florida. I can tell you, if Spurrier had been around in Dooley's time, Dooley would have been run out of town. Dooley faced a series of idiots in charge down at Florida, not a HOF coach like Spurrier.
Why was Dooley's bowl record so bad? Because the top coaches were in the bowl games and he wasn't facing the stiffs from the SEC that were there during his time.
Richt faced Tebow. Meyer won titles because of Tebow and ran for the hills after Tim left. Florida won't win another title without him. He is their Herschel.
July 20th, 2011
11:52 am
If we dont see the "I quit" out of the players this year that we saw last year CMR will be fine. He is a great person,but, the team needs to play mean.
July 20th, 2011
11:53 am
No, Richt is a fine coach, but it's his personnel decisions (players and coaches) that will simply lead to his down fall if they don't rebound this year.
He doesn't have the luxury of being a new coach anymore. Under his watch they went from average to very successful championship type of program back down to a below average team again.
I'm not sure he should be expected to win the east to keep his job, but maybe that is a good standard. It's really been 5 years since they were a substantially good football team. That's not acceptable.
I think he's a fine coach, but he can't continue to stay in charge of a program that loses to Colorado and UCF. Even though he's a good guy, UGA isn't a charity. His job is to win games as much as anything.
July 20th, 2011
11:54 am
With all the setbacks recently in the OL and RB position we will
find out this year whether keeping CMR is the right path.
I say that because there is are enough ingredients on this
team like QB play and excellent special teams to offset a good bit
of the team's weak areas. There are coaches out there that could
could could do this without question. If CMR is unable to do it
he is not the coach I nelieve him to be and not worthy to continue
in Athens. This season could be the perfect test to prove his worth
one way or another. I for one can hardly wait for the season to start
and like so many hope like heck that this good man can succeed this year.

Cancer Research Funding
Key Points
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services, is the Nation's principal agency for cancer research and coordinates the National Cancer Program.
- As a federal agency, NCI receives its funds from Congress.
- In recent years, NCI's budget has been relatively flat, averaging approximately $4.9 billion per year over the past 6 years.
- Other federal agencies, state, and local governments, voluntary organizations, private institutions, and industry spend substantial amounts of money on cancer-related research.
What is the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and what is its role in supporting cancer research?
NCI is one of the 27 Institutes and Centers that form the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. In the National Cancer Institute Act of 1937, NCI was established as the Nation's principal agency for cancer research. In the National Cancer Act of 1971, NCI was further charged with coordinating the National Cancer Program.
As a federal agency, NCI receives its funds from Congress. These funds support research at the Institute's headquarters in Bethesda, MD, and in laboratories and medical centers throughout the United States and in other countries.
The cancer research program coordinated by NCI investigates the causes, prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer through various research projects and clinical trials. Information about cancer research projects supported by NCI in the United States and Canada can be found in the NCI Funded Research Portfolio.
How is NCI's budget determined?
Overall budget proposals for federal government spending—commonly known as President's Budget proposals—are formulated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As part of this process, NCI and the other NIH Institutes and Centers submit budget documents to OMB. President's Budget proposals are submitted to Congress each year in early February and reflect the Administration's budget and management priorities for the next fiscal year, which begins on the following October 1. (The federal government's fiscal year extends from October 1 through September 30.) Congress considers the proposals and then recommends appropriations for all federal government agencies. Final appropriation amounts must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate and signed by the President to be enacted into law.
In the National Cancer Act of 1971, NCI was given the authority to prepare and submit an additional annual budget proposal directly to the President for review and transmittal to Congress. This authority is unique to NCI, and the budget proposal created in response to it is often referred to as the "NCI Professional Judgment Budget." The NCI Professional Judgment Budget is submitted to the President before the President's Budget proposal is submitted to Congress and may be considered by OMB in preparing the President's Budget proposal.
NCI Professional Judgment Budgets describe in detail the optimum amount of funding needed to make the most rapid progress against cancer and to provide NCI with the resources necessary to lead the National Cancer Program. Typically, the President's Budget proposal for NCI is less than the amount proposed in the NCI Professional Judgment Budget.
What was NCI's budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013? How has the budget changed in recent years?
NCI's budget for FY 2013 was $4.8 billion. Overall, NCI's budget has been relatively flat in recent years. During the period from 2005 through 2013, the NCI budget averaged $4.9 billion per year.
NCI's FY 2013 appropriation reflects about a $293 million decrease from FY 2012. This decrease is attributable in large part to sequestration (5.1 percent reduction), with the remainder due to transfers to the Department of Health and Human Services to support various departmental obligations.
How much does NCI spend each year on research for specific types of cancer?
The following table shows NCI spending in FY 2010, 2011, and 2012 for the 10 most common types of cancer in the United States, based on 2012 incidence estimates (and excluding basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers).* The cancers are listed in decreasing order of incidence (i.e., from the highest number of new cases to the lowest).
*Source of spending data: NCI Office of Budget and Finance (OBF).
Information about funding for other types of cancer can be found in the NCI Funded Research Portfolio or the NCI Annual Fact Book. Additional information about NCI's budget is available on OBF's website.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that he has begun radiation therapy in Cuba as part of cancer treatment one month after undergoing an operation that removed a tumor.
Chavez said in a phone call broadcast live on Venezuelan television that he had his first radiation session after he arrived late Saturday. He said that would be the first of five daily treatments and that he expects to be back in Venezuela for a three-day break starting Thursday, before returning to Cuba for the next five-day round.
Chavez will be in Cuba at the same time as Pope Benedict XVI, who arrives on the island on Monday after a visit to Mexico. Chavez didn't refer to the pope's visit to Havana, but he did say he views his own Christian faith and prayer as providing strength in his struggle against cancer.
"In reality, part of the treatment is prayer, faith -- faith in God, in our God, in our Christ the redeemer," Chavez said. "It's part of my job to assume with rigor this task of fighting to overcome the difficulties, and to continue living."
Chavez has frequently clashed with Roman Catholic leaders in Venezuela, but he has often expressed faith in God and has said he views Jesus' principles as having been essentially socialist.
Chavez chatted with his vice president, Elias Jaua, in the phone call while the television panned to views of a government-run fish farm. The president said he plans to keep on top of government business as he comes and goes from Cuba for the treatments.
"I'm well, thanks to God," Chavez said, adding that he had been out for a walk in the sun in Havana.
Chavez has been recovering from a Feb. 26 surgery in Havana that he said removed a tumor from the same spot in his pelvic region where another tumor was extracted eight months earlier.
On Saturday night, Chavez was met by Cuban President Raul Castro as he arrived at Havana's airport. Venezuelan television showed Chavez saluting as he stepped off the plane holding hands with one of his daughters, and then embracing Castro.
In Venezuela, some of Chavez's aides led his supporters in a prayer for his health Sunday morning outside the cathedral in the southwestern city of San Cristobal, and then the crowd began a pilgrimage on foot to another church.
"He's a man with an iron will," Youth Minister Mari Pili Hernandez told a crowd of supporters during the walk. "We give thanks to God for our commander's health, for him to take care of (Chavez) for us, protect him, give him a lot of strength."
After he was diagnosed with cancer in Cuba last year, Chavez underwent an initial surgery in June to remove a tumor that he said was the size of a baseball. He then had four rounds of chemotherapy and said tests showed no signs of any cancerous cells. But last month, he announced he was returning to Cuba for surgery to remove a lesion that proved to be malignant. He has described the most recent tumor as measuring about 2 centimeters (0.8 inches).
Chavez has not identified the type of cancer nor the precise location where the tumors have been removed.
The president has said the radiation treatments will last for four to five weeks and are intended to "attack any new threat." He said he expects to be traveling back and forth between Venezuela and Cuba during that period.
He said on Saturday that he preferred to return to Cuba for radiation therapy because that is where his cancer was first detected last year and where he has undergone surgeries since.
Chavez said he is thankful to his close allies and friends Fidel and Raul Castro for the medical care he has received. He praised Cuba's health care system as "one of the most advanced in this world, thanks to the Cuban revolution."
Chavez is running for re-election in October and vows that his illness will not get in the way of that political goal.
Last year, Chavez shaved his head during chemotherapy after his hair began falling out as a result of the treatments.
Now, as he starts radiation therapy, potential side effects include fatigue, abdominal cramping, nausea and vomiting, said Dr. Michael Pishvaian, an oncologist at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center who is not involved in Chavez's treatment.
The radiation is often administered for a short period each day, with breaks on weekends, Pishvaian said. "I would imagine that he probably could go about his daily activities even being a president."
Following radiation therapy, patients typically need two weeks to a month to recover from the effects of the treatment, Pishvaian said. "Then he should actually be pretty much back to normal, but will be on sort of high alert for watching to see if the cancer comes back again."
Associated Press writers Anne-Marie Garcia in Havana and Jorge Rueda in Caracas contributed to this report.

White Rock stop gets OK from Amtrak
Hardy Staub of White Rock and Amtrak West President Gil
Mallery stepped off the northbound Amtrak train in White
Rock last week, a symbolic inauguration of a new stop. Under
a conditional agreement announced at the White Rock railway
station August 30, Amtrak promises the train will stop in
White Rock if White Rock meets a list of conditions.
The conditions include, White Rock must provide the minimum essential station infrastructure, provide adequate long-term parking facilities with shuttle service to the station and agreements with U.S. and Canadian customs and immigration services for inspections.
Ken Hertz, executive vice-president of Trillium Corporation, Blaine mayor Dieter Schugt and Gordon Hogg, MLA, Surrey/White Rock were among those who greeted Staub and Mallery as part of celebrating the event.
Trillium and Blaine have supported the White Rock push for a train stop hoping to cash in on influx of visitors to the region. We are friends on each others land in spite of the borders that separate us, Staub said. Without that bond and without modes of transportation bringing us closer together, we would not be able to accomplish economic prosperity.
This stop is part of efforts to expand cross border transportation, Staub said. We will be an example to the entire border of how two communities can work together. A larger plan, outlined in the agreement, includes a passenger shuttle ferry serving Blaine, White Rock, and Resort Semiahmoo. We are doing this for the entire region, Staub said. What is good for White Rock is good for Blaine and so on.
The U.S. senate transportation budget, now heading into conference with the house of representatives, has earmarked $200,000 to fund a study of the feasibility of the three point ferry system. This is a very positive thing, Hertz said. We (Trillium) are just one player thats working towards an easier access between two countries and our communities.
Also stated in the memorandum of agreement, Amtrak and Washington DOT have an interest in expanding current train services to the Greater Vancouver market. We are very anxious to extend the second train to Vancouver, Mallery said. The more connections and transportation links you have, the more aggressively you are doing away with the border.
Even if White Rock meets all the conditions, funding for rail improvements from B.C. must still be secured. Mallery believes that in order for this vision to become a reality, it comes down to political leadership and grass-root support from both sides of the border.
B.C. has not come through withtheir side of the bargain to get funding whereas Washington and Oregon have done their part Staub said, but there is a huge feeling of hope and a positive business climate. Schugt agreed the British Columbia government must step up to the plate, for this to be a success. To make the train viable, weve got to get the second train up to B.C., Schugt said. White Rock is our closest neighbor and we joined them as a witness to support their efforts. Why not think of tourism? Why not pull in all the positiveness? People arent just going to stop in Blaine and anything that happens in White Rock or Lynden or Ferndale is a positive thing for Blaine.
Passenger rail service to White Rock began in 1907, but was suspended in the late 1970s due to lack of interest. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in passenger rail service as a safe, economical and environmentally friendly way of travel, said Staub. In 1995, services resumed when a daily round trip passenger rail service was introduced between Seattle and Vancouver which now serves approximately 100,000 passengers a year.
This encouraged Amtrak to introduce a second daily round trip service on the same route in 1999, but this service stops at Bellingham because of the lack of funds from B.C.
Currently Staub is working with the B.C. government to get funding and he is developing infrastructure for the White Rock Station. The budget for the ferry survey should be finalized in October, according to Hertz and Canada and U.S. Customs are working towards agreement. Staub said he would like to see the stop in White Rock by summer 2002. The region as a whole sees the stop in White Rock, coupled with other forms of transportation, as a positive thing, he said. My battle cry is border be gone..

Fruity and creamy, like orange creamsicles. Raisin sweetness and brazil nut dryness. A distinct mustiness in the background verifies the age.
Honeyed and creamy with a big, rich flavour impact; but somehow gentle, like a pillowfight or Jello wrestling. Spicy, too, pepper and a bit of chinese 5-spice or something. Deep and complex. Long creamy finish with nutty oakiness and, i dunno... hard to explain; not a flavour but a feeling...very exciting, like gently touching the inside lip of someone you love (or lust) with your tongue. Warming and sensual. Each sip an experience that is happily repeated.
[These tasting notes are taken from drwhisky.blogspot.com]
Nose: A perfume of fruity and ripe raisin notes, backed by a nutty dryness.
Palate: A malt of refinement and remarkable character, it is creamy and silky with fruit, honey and spice notes, and has a long and gentle nutty finish.

the oatmeal diet of the stars
I discovered this by accident ,reading a book about vitamin and health.It is out there on the internet.A closely guard secret by the industry I am told.I am a weight lifting for 50 years now have a lot of people in the hobby that are more in the know I am.Anyway how I LOST 40 POUNDS.
Oatmeal is a soluble fiber ,when it goes into your body it turns into a gell and sites in your intestines.It absorbs acids bile and mi.The liver sends bile acids into your blood stream with cholesterol to help digestion.The oatmeal absorbs the bile acid along with its cholesterol.Thats how it lowers your count.But being crafty we eat another huge bowl for lunch.The liver says hey theres no bile acids in the blood stream.You haven't eaten any fatty food so it takes it from fat storage all over your body.It works better then lipo suckson.
Part two you take dhea a hormone you can buy at he drug store ,,sold in the us as a supplement but other countrys a drug.What this does is help produce male or female hormons in the body.Most people after 30 are down ward path in that department.This horman wiil tighten the skin in your body including your face and stomach.Not like surgery but pretty close.Also helps with muscle tone and if you work out,makes you look like Stallion.
Interesting! Thanks for this!!
We have to be "crafty" with these bodies sometimes.

The Model-Turned-Polymath Takes Us Deep Into the Brazilian Amazon
A region in peril is distilled on 8mm film in Wild Rubber, directed by the multi-talented Lily Cole. The flame-haired model made the short while on assignment in Acre, northwest Brazil as an ambassador for Sky Rainforest Rescue, a partnership between Sky and WWF that raises awareness of the jungle's plight, and aims to help protect one billion trees in the area. Cole, who has successfully melted the divide between the worlds of fashion, art, film and literature, shot the film across a day-lit Amazon vista after spending time with a rubber-tapping community in Feijó, where she learned more about the practice she believes is key to curbing deforestation. The hazy sepia and cyan-toned video depicts bird flocks, rainbow-hued spiders and nymph-like forms diving into the river's purple wash. It is relatable, youthful, and eerie—particularly when overlaid with Cole's soft British-accented singing. "Early one morning, I took a few hours out to go into the forest alone to film, and make a sound recording on my iPhone," she says. "I only had two rolls left, so every shot felt incredibly precious."
Aesthetically, the film has an old-school look. How did you select this format?
Lily Cole: I had been meaning to buy a non-digital camera last year in Paris, when I happened to run into Tacita Dean—a friend and one of my favourite artists who campaigns for film to be valued and protected as a medium. She took me shopping for a camera and we found this 8mm in one of the last camera shops in Paris to still sell it. I took it with me to Brazil and, without time to construct a set narrative, I simply captured moments as we explored the area, shooting whatever drew my eye.
What are your hopes for the future of rainforest conversation?
LC: I hope a growing market can be created for forest products, such as wild rubber, as it essentially could protect the rainforest by making it worth more standing than cut down. Knowing she is passionate about the rainforest, I asked Vivienne Westwood if she would be able to make a dress using rubber for this year's Met Ball to show its potential versatility, and she and her partner Andreas made something very special for me to wear. This isn't for a consumer audience but who knows what we can do in time.
What is the most memorable thing to have occurred during your time in Brazil?
LC: The rubber tapping itself was very impactful. Cutting thick lines into bark to watch a latex material bubble up was very surreal and filled my mind with possibilities. Rubber seems like such a synthetic material so it is really surprising to see that it is produced by a tree.
Has deforestation been curbed at all?
LC: Yes! Last year it was reported that deforestation rates were declining. Paraguay reduced the rate in their country by 85% following the enactment of its 2004 Zero Deforestation Law. It doesn't mean the issues are fully resolved but I feel very optimistic that we are heading in that direction.
Why is this cause important to you?
LC: About 20% of the planet's oxygen is produced by the Amazon rainforest so it's definitely something to value. Well, if you appreciate air.
Five Days of Food, Part One: The British Chef Celebrates All Things Auburn with a Fiery Banquet
Filmmaking Duo Roberto de Paolis and Carlo Lavagna Take a Break With the Famed Director in Morocco
The Marrakech Film Festival and its desert surroundings form the backdrop for Roberto de Paolis and Carlo Lavagna's latest short, in which Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme discusses his ever-evolving relationship to the many genres of film. Demme, who will release Wally and André Shoot Ibsen next year, was the focus of a tribute at the North African event earlier this month. In addition to receiving international acclaim for features like Philadelphia, Rachel Getting Married and Silence of the Lambs, which won in all five major Oscar categories, Demme has also directed 14 documentaries, most concentrating on the subjects of human rights and musicians including Neil Young. "He always changes perspective," says De Paolis, "ranging from the best thriller of the last 25 years, to documentary, to naturalistic contemporary drama, always choosing different atmospheres and languages." The Italian duo, who previously visited the festival for NOWNESS in 2010, found themselves confronted with the abandoned film set of Lawrence of Arabia when they ducked out of the proceedings and headed to Ouazazarte, known as "the door to the desert," to visit a friend. "You start in the city, go through a valley, up into the mountains where it is snowing and then back down into the desert," says De Paolis of the impressive landscape. "If you don't fall asleep in your car, you will see so many different things in two hours."
