B'nai B'rith's was the first international Jewish audience with the pope since the Vatican announced an agreement on church issues with "the State of Palestine," and the pope separately acknowledged non-recognition of Israel as amounting to anti-Semitism.
Before he was known around the world at Pope Francis, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio hosted B'nai B'rith's Kristallnacht commemoration in Buenos Aires in 2012.

ZENIT (Pope's Official Remarks):
I am pleased to greet you during your visit to the Vatican. My predecessors met with delegations of B'nai B'rith International on several occasions, and today I offer you my welcome with renewed respect and affection.
Your organization has enjoyed relations with the Holy See since the promulgation of the Conciliar Declaration Nostra Aetate. This document constituted a milestone on the path of mutual knowledge and esteem between Jews and Catholics, based on the great spiritual patrimony that, thanks be to God, we share in common.
Looking back on these fifty years of regular dialogue between the Catholic Church and Judaism, I cannot help but thank the Lord for the great progress that has been made. Many initiatives fostering reciprocal understanding and dialogue have been undertaken; above all a sense of mutual trust and appreciation has developed. There are many areas in which we as Jews and Christians can continue to work together for the good of the peoples of our time. Respect for life and creation, human dignity, justice and solidarity unite us for the development of society and for securing a future rich in hope for generations to come. In a particular way, we are called to pray and work together for peace. Unfortunately, there are many countries and regions of the world that live in situations of conflict – I think in particular of the Holy Land and the Middle East – and that require a courageous commitment to peace, which is not only to be longed for, but sought after and built up patiently and tenaciously by everyone, especially believers.
During these moments together, I wish to recall with heartfelt gratitude all those who have fostered friendship between Jews and Catholics. I particularly want to mention Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II. Saint John saved many Jews during the Second World War, met with them numerous times, and greatly desired a conciliar document on this theme. Regarding Saint John Paul, his various historical gestures remain very much alive in our memories, such as his visit to Auschwitz and to the Great Synagogue of Rome. With the help of God, I wish to walk in their footsteps, encouraged too by the many beautiful encounters and friendships I enjoyed in Buenos Aires.
May the Almighty and Eternal One bless our dialogue abundantly, especially during this year in which we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Nostra Aetate, so that our friendship may always grow deeper and bear abundant fruit for our communities and the entire human family.
Thank you.
Vatican Radio:
Speaking to representatives of B'nai B'rith International, a Jewish organization that sponsors cultural programs and promotes religious tolerance and international cooperation, the Pope recalled the landmark Vatican II declaration, Nostra Aetate which laid the groundwork for the Catholic Church's relations with Jews. Founded in 1843, B'nai B'rith, which also provides humanitarian aid and community service in needy areas, has a presence in more than 50 countries across the globe.
B'nai B'rith monitors and combats anti-Semitism and other human rights abuses around the world, and together with its World Center in Jerusalem, advocates on behalf of the State of Israel.
As a founding member of IsraAid, the World Center works with many other Israeli relief organizations to provide humanitarian aid and disaster and emergency assistance to those in need.
B'nai B'rith is also the largest national Jewish sponsor of federally subsidized housing for the elderly in the United States with 42 buildings in 26 communities. Working in partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, B'nai B'rith makes rental apartments available for senior citizens with limited incomes.
Vatican Information Service:
A delegation from B'nai B'rith International ("Children of the Covenant"), a Jewish non-governmental organisation of a philanthropic nature founded in 1843, which opposes anti-Semitism in all its forms and promotes human rights, was received in audience by Pope Francis this morning.
B'nai B'rith established contacts with the Holy See following the promulgation of the conciliar declaration Nostra Aetate which, as the Holy Father mentioned, "constituted a milestone on the path of mutual knowledge and esteem between Jews and Catholics, based on the great spiritual patrimony that, thanks be to God, we share in common."
Catholic World News:
Pope Francis met on June 25 with a delegation from B'nai B'rith International, and expressed his gratitude to predecessors who had advanced friendly ties between Catholics and Jews.
The Pope mentioned especially St. John XXIII, who "save many Jews during the Second World War" and sought a document from the Second Vatican Council on inter-faith relations. That document, Nostra Aetate, was "a milestone on the path of mutual knowledge and esteem between Jews and Catholics, based on the great spiritual patrimony that, thanks be to God, we share in common," the Pontiff said.
Next Pope Francis cited the work of St. John Paul II, his dramatic gestures toward Jews, and particularly his visits to the death camp at Auschwitz and the synagogue in Rome.
ANSA En Vatican:
Vatican City, June 25 - Pope Francis on Thursday said he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II in pursuing dialogue between Catholics and Jews.
Prensa Latina:
Pope Francis highlighted today the need for a brave commitment to peace, faced with the conflicts that are affecting the world, especially the Middle East.
In a meeting with the Jewish organization B'nai B'rith, the Supreme Pontiff considered that the community and Christians should collaborate with the purpose of achieving peace in that area, as well as other purposes.
After mentioning other possible areas of collaboration, he highlighted that respect for life and human dignity, justice and solidarity.
Francis added that peace does not come all of a sudden. Instead, it should be built day by day, with patience, tenacity and the participation of all the people.

The final tally is in and receipts have been issued for the winners of the H-1B lottery. And now we must deal with the utter frustration of countless U.S. employers and the profound disappointment of the almost 90,000 highly skilled foreign nationals whose petitions were not selected. Such frustration and disappointment will only be punctuated by the receipt of the rejected petitions not fortunate enough to be among the chosen.
It is indeed a most unfortunate circumstance for those U.S. employers who have invested in and benefited from the creative resources provided by highly skilled foreign nationals currently employed pursuant to a temporary post-graduate work authorization and who now must be terminatedunless creative options are explored which test the boundaries of legitimate work authorized alternatives. Indeed, our broken immigration system leaves employers with little choice but to consider an alphabet soup of other temporary work visa categories which are not a proper fitsome of which are just not appropriate or extremely cumbersome (e.g. H-2B temporary need), somewhat disingenuous (e.g., an H-3 trainee visa) or highly controversial and somewhat problematic (e.g., B-1 in lieu of H-1B).
And what of the foreign national? The experience of extreme disappointment is most likely soon accompanied by making immediate plans to depart the U.S. (perhaps after completing four or more years of university study here) or, for those abroad, the realization that a promising career in the United States was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Oh, for the days when the H-1B cap was 195,000 (for FY2001 through FY2003)!
What do Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Google co-Founder Sergey Brin, Intel Director of Government Relations Peter Muller, Qualcomm Government Affairs Analyst Ayush Soni, Microsoft co-Founder Bill Gates, Motorola Solutions Vice President of Human Resources Michele Carlin, Shells Executive Vice President for Human Resources (Americas) Bruce Culpepper, Coca-Cola Company Chief People Officer Ceree Eberly, Johnson & Johnson Chief Human Resources Officer Peter M. Fasolo, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Hewlett-Packard Company Tracy Keogh, Wendy's Chief People Officer Scott A. Weisberg, McDonald's Chief Human Resources Officer Richard R. Floersch, Marriott Corporation President/CEO Arne Sorenson, and Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Doug Oberhelman all have in common?
Apart from being creative, successful, forward-thinking business executives, each signed a letter petition to President Obama, dated March 14, 2013, urging him to move forward with immigration reform for highly-skilled workers. The letter opened by stating, [o]ne of the biggest economic challenges facing our nation is the need for more qualified, highly-skilled professionals, domestic and foreign, who can create jobs and immediately contribute to and improve our economy. The letter went on to explain that our broken immigration system is in need of major reform for highly-skilled professionals, in stating: "because our current immigration system is outdated and inefficient, many high-skilled immigrants who want to stay in America are forced to leave because they are unable to obtain permanent visas. Some do not bother to come in the first place. This is often due to visa shortages, long waits for green cards, and lack of mobility. We believe that numerical levels and categories for high-skilled nonimmigrant and immigrant visas should be responsive to market needs and, where appropriate, include mechanisms to fluctuate based on objective standards..."
The resounding message in the letter was that the experience of not only the tech sector, but of all major U.S. industries, shows us that immigrants to the U.S. are a powerful force for entrepreneurship and innovation at every level, from start-ups to multinational corporations. The words of Peter Muller at Intel Corp resonate with the madness of the H-1B cap season, in stating, [w]e can't find enough workers so we really need to fill that gap [for highly-skilled jobs] and having a working immigration system is an important part of that".
All indications point to a record number of H-1B petitions filed during the first week of Aprilpetitions seeking to fill highly-skilled professional positions that employers across the U.S. are unable to otherwise fill with qualified U.S. workers.
And what will this H-1B years lottery bring? For those selected, an opportunity to remain in (or move to) the U.S. and become part of workforce that consists of the worlds brightest minds to help the United States to remain competitive in the worlds economy.
As to those not selected -- utter frustration to countless U.S. employers and profound disappointment to tens of thousands of highly skilled foreign nationals, a majority of whom received their undergraduate or graduate degrees from a U.S. college or university. And as stated by Ayush Soni of Qualcomm: "We are competing globally now. We're also now competing with Chinese companies, Taiwanese companies, Korean companies. If we can't put a worker in San Diego or wherever our supply chips are, then they'll go and compete somewhere else. That's a very, very big detriment on our business.
The petition to the President spearheaded by Mark Zuckerburg was sent a little more than one year ago. So as we are about turn away approximately 1 out of 2 of this years H-1B applicants, due to an outdated, insufficient H-1B quota, how many more years will it take to have a more logical U.S. immigration policy in placeone which would attract the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who we want to attract in particular, in terms of education and skills? Where we not only educate them, but in the words of Warren Buffett, give them an opportunity to enhance their talents and have them stick around here."
As we approach Groundhog Day, U.S. employers are once again confronted with the very real prospect of having to deal with the H-1B "lottery."
The very existence of the H-1B cap has been labeled a form of "national suicide" by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg; "absurd" by an Economics Editor of Bloomberg Businessweek; and "evidence of a dysfunctional market" by a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington.
In the coming weeks, U.S. employers will expend in-house resources and engage counsel to prepare and file H-1B petitions during the first week of April in the hope that its petitions will be among the 85,000 selected by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS"). To be sure, without imminent new legislation, there will be a lottery to determine which petitions are considered for adjudication. For the last fiscal year, approximately 150,000 petitions were filed during the first week of April. Given the pent–up demand since then, it will not be at all surprising if more than 200,000 petitions are filed – leaving employers with less than a 1 in 2 chance of having their petition selected and, if selected, then having to wait for an October 1, 2014 effective date of employment.
The natural consequence of being married to an arbitrary H-1B cap? Depriving U.S. employers of hiring what they deem to be the best qualified and, in most cases, sending those not selected in the random lottery (many of whom are educated at U.S. colleges and universities) back to their home countries — in essence giving a "gift to our rival economies."
It is indeed unfortunate that Congress cannot take its collective head out of the sand and realize that the current political stalemate with respect to immigration reform is working to the extreme detriment of the U.S. employer. It is about time that our lawmakers recognize that the tried and true principle of "supply and demand" should override the divisive political process.
Is it too much to hope that we are not living the same day all over again on April 1, 2015?

The Lake Team
No Really, We're Different
Lake Research Partners is a national public opinion and political strategy research firm founded by Celinda Lake in 1995. The firm quickly expanded to become Lake Snell Perry Mermin and Associates, and in 2005 continued to grow through a merger with Decision Research. Our principals are leading information and political campaign strategists, serving as tacticians and senior advisors to a wide range of advocacy groups, labor unions, non-profits, government agencies, companies and foundations, as well as dozens of elected officials at all levels of the electoral process. The firm is national in scope, with offices in Washington, DC, New York, and California, and senior staff located in Washington, Oregon, and Virginia.
Lake Research Partners is committed to walking it like we talk it.
We're a woman-owned business with a commitment to diversity. We have a strong client screen built upon our core values, working only for pro-choice candidates, clients with whom our labor friends can work, and good corporate citizens. Check our competitors' client lists – you'll find many cannot say the same.
We maintain a stable, professional staff of expert researchers and strategists. We don't ramp up with temporary employees during election cycles just to fill demand. Instead, we cultivate and train the current and future stars of the polling world and enable them to develop unparalleled expertise on specific issues and geographic regions.
We offer all employees of Lake Research Partners a generous benefits package we wish every American worker enjoyed. We are one of the few firms left that pay 100% of health care insurance costs for comprehensive coverage. We also pay 100% for dependent and domestic partner coverage. We provide paid maternity and paternity leave. Our firm makes contributions to retirement plans, and we offer a generous leave package consistent with a healthy work and life balance.
Most of all, we're a firm of true believers – each one of us feels privileged to work with our clients to advance progressive ideals – it's the primary 'intangible' benefit of Lake Research Partners. Many peers told Founder Celinda Lake in 1995 that building a firm with a progressive values client base wasn't economically viable for a new business. Seventeen years later, we're still at it, and still proud of every project we've done.

Committee Opinion Number 671, September 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion No. 324, November 2005) (Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Over the past decades, the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has increased dramatically worldwide and has made pregnancy possible for many infertile couples. Although the perinatal risks that may be associated with ART and ovulation induction are much higher in multifetal gestations, even singletons achieved with ART and ovulation induction may be at higher risk than singletons from naturally occurring pregnancies. However, it remains unclear to what extent these associations might be related to the underlying cause(s) of infertility. Before initiating ART or ovulation i...
Committee Opinion Number 664, June 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 321, November 2005)
ABSTRACT: One of the most challenging scenarios in obstetric care occurs when a pregnant patient refuses recommended medical treatment that aims to support her well-being, her fetus's well-being, or both. In such circumstances, the obstetrician–gynecologist's ethical obligation to safeguard the pregnant woman's autonomy may conflict with the ethical desire to optimize the health of the fetus. Forced compliance—the alternative to respecting a patient's refusal of treatment—raises profoundly important issues about patient rights, respect for autonomy, violations of bodily integrity, power diffe...
Committee Opinion Number 624, February 2015
Reaffirmed 2017
ABSTRACT: Cytology-based cervical cancer screening programs require a number of elements to be successful. Certain low-resource settings, like the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands, lack these elements. Implementing alternative cervical cancer screening strategies in low-resource settings can provide consistent, accessible screening opportunities.
Committee Opinion Number 578, November 2013
(Reaffirmed 2016. Replaces No. 395, January 2008)
ABSTRACT: Acknowledgment of the importance of patient autonomy and increased patient access to information, such as information on the Internet, has prompted more patient-generated requests for surgical interventions not traditionally recommended. Depending on the context, acceding to a request for a surgical option that is not traditionally recommended can be ethical. Decisions about acceding to patient requests for nontraditional surgical interventions should be based on strong support for patients' informed preferences and values; understood in the context of an interpretive conversation; ...
Committee Opinion Number 559, April 2013

ABSTRACT: Cesarean delivery on maternal request is defined as a primary prelabor cesarean delivery on maternal request in the absence of any maternal or fetal indications. Potential risks of cesarean delivery on maternal request include a longer maternal hospital stay, an increased risk of respiratory problems for the infant, and greater complications in subsequent pregnancies, including uterine rupture, placental implantation problems, and the need for hysterectomy. Potential short-term benefits of planned cesarean delivery compared with a planned vaginal delivery (including women who give b...

ABSTRACT: International humanitarian medical efforts provide essential services to patients who would not otherwise have access to specific health care services. The Committees on Ethics and Global Women's Health of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists encourage College Fellows and other health care professionals to participate in international humanitarian medical efforts for this reason.

Prevention of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from mother to fetus or newborn (vertical transmission) is a major goal in the care of pregnant women infected with HIV. An important advance in this regard was the demonstration that treatment of the mother with zidovudine (ZDV) during pregnancy and labor and of the neonate for the first 6 weeks after birth could reduce the transmission rate from 25% to 8% (1). Continuing research into vertical transmission of HIV suggests that a substantial number of cases occur as the result of fetal exposure to the virus during labor a...

This guest post is by Caroline McCloskey, a sophomore at UC Berkeley. She is the president and founder of her school's Autism Speaks U chapter and is a true ambassador for our cause! Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events, while supporting their local autism communities.
Helping those with autism has always held a place in my heart. My older brother Joey was diagnosed with autism at a very young age, and has always been my big "little brother." Joey has a considerably severe case of autism and is often misunderstood because he has difficulty communicating with others. He lives in the world of a six-year old and still watches Disney movies (his favorite being Peter Pan), Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh. One of the truly amazing things about my brother is his ability to complete a 500-piece puzzle in twenty minutes – something I would never be able to do. He will never fail to impress me with his unique gift and now that I've gone to college and live 6000 miles away from home, I miss him dearly.
Caroline hikes to the big Campanile to raise autism awareness.
Coming to the University of California, Berkeley was by far the best decision I have ever made. As soon as I got here I knew that I wanted to get involved on campus, so I looked into various student organizations and tried to find one that promoted autism awareness or raised money for scientific research. No such club or organization existed. I thought to myself: of all the hundreds of student organizations that Berkeley has to offer, how is it that not a single one addresses the problem of autism, something that affects 1 in 110 people?
Consequently, some friends and I took the initiative and our chapter of Autism Speaks U at Berkeley was officially founded on March 9th2011. Now we have over 30 active members and have begun to establish a firm presence on campus as of this academic year. The UC Berkeley community has been very supportive of our efforts and during Autism Awareness Month this year we held an awareness campaign and small-scale fundraiser in the Unit 2 Residence Halls. Our biggest achievement so far has been lighting up the Campanile blue on Autism Awareness Day, which we hope to do again in April 2012.
Campanile Lit Up Blue.
Right now we are in the process of planning a benefit concert to be held on November 19, of this year. We are also trying to establish a mentoring program with the Berkeley Unified School District, where members of our chapter would volunteer with children and young adults on the spectrum. Furthermore, we are in the early phases of planning a large-scale walk event on UC Berkeley's campus, which will be held on April 72012, during Autism Awareness Month.
This year we have a very strong team of officers who are all contributing incredible amounts of time and effort to our cause. It means so much to me that my friends have been so supportive of what I am so passionate about, and I honestly appreciate their help and support more than they will ever know. I know that this year we're going to go far and it's all because of them: thank you, guys.

Seattle's got Nirvana, Liverpool's got the Beatles. And Belfast? Well, how's about Van Morrison, Snow Patrol and Stiff Little Fingers for starters!
In terms of great rock and roll cities, Belfast is up there with the best of them. But if you really want to get under the city's musical skin then hitch a ride with the Belfast Music Tour – a salute to some of the biggest names to come out of the capital of Northern Ireland.
Mixing back stories and back catalogues with weird and wonderful facts (bet you didn't know the first live performance of Stairway to Heaven was here in Belfast's Ulster Hall in 1971), the bus tour weaves through the urban landscapes that have inspired a whole host of internationally famous musicians, including James Galway and Gary Moore of Thin Lizzy. As music journalist and guide to the tour Stuart Bailie points out, while Northern Ireland might be small, its artists are responsible for selling over 100 million records combined.
But if you think Belfast's music scene is all about retro-hype, think again. Fresh and energized, right now the city is where it's at, with bands and musicians including Two Door Cinema Club, Cashier No9, Duke Special, and the chart-topping Snow Patrol. These guys are the offspring of an impeccable lineage, which the music tour, by bus and soundtrack, illustrates through the city's venues, hotels, city streets and quiet neighbourhoods.

From the a visit to the site of the Ritz where the Beatles played in 1963 (Gary Moore was in the audience) to the very place where Van Morrison and his band Them performed their first gig (a plaque now marks the spot), the tour abounds with stories and name-drops: Brian Kennedy, fiddler Sean Maguire, the McPeake Family.
By the time the bus rolls back to its last stop at Oh Yeah Music Centre – one of the city's hip new music venues – it's hard not to start planning a Big Night Out.
As UK musician and presenter Jools Holland said, "if you can't have a good time in Belfast, you can't have a good time".

An open letter to Kidd Kraddick with the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning Show on 106.1 KISS-FM :
I am writing in response to your account Monday morning, Sept. 19 on your morning radio program, Kidd Kraddick in the Morning on 106.1 KISS-FM, to what was presumably a story about your plight of not being able to gain access to your residence because of road closures perpetuated by the 28th annual Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade, aka the gay Pride parade, on Sunday, Sept. 18. Your account of these events ended up being sprinkled with unnecessary and offensive stereotypes.
As your story goes, you were attempting to speak with a nearby female Dallas police officer regarding having to park on the street in a designated
"No Parking Any Time" zone. Apparently, you were trying to ascertain from the police officer if your car was at risk of being towed.
My first and obvious comment is: It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that one would stand a better than 98 percent chance of having his or her automobile towed by illegally parking along the street in an area that is clearly and visibly designated by signage as a no parking zone. Any prudent, intelligent individual would not even need to seek out the counsel of a police officer to make this determination, especially during an event like the parade where parking and traffic are, without a doubt, going to be atrocious. These are the times when traffic and parking laws and restrictions are most often enforced.
But I digress. As your odyssey unfolds, your efforts to speak with the female police officer were thwarted because there was a scantily-clad man who was already speaking to the police officer, attempting to determine whether or not his attire, which according to your accounts consisted of flip-flops and canary yellow underwear, were within the boundaries of the law, and not considered indecent or illegal clothing that might result in his arrest.
Because this conversation was taking place, you were not able to get the attention of, or speak to, the police officer.
In your account of the conversation between the man in the yellow underwear and flip-flops and the police officer, you used a lisp when recounting the words spoken by the parade-goer.
Mr. Kraddick, using a lisp in this manner is a blatant, flagrant and outrageous form of discrimination, and as such, perpetuates negative gay stereotypes and encourages unjust prejudice.
Why was it necessary to use a lisp to describe the conversation that you overheard while waiting to speak with the police officer? Did the man actually speak with a lisp? Or was this simply added for (negative) effect and to spice up your tale?
What you assert was being asked by the man to the police officer regarding the legal status of his attire was minimally amusing and could have stood on its own merits in your story without the lisp factor.
But the story, unfortunately, does not end here. As your telling of this story continued, you felt the need to further perpetuate prejudice and negative stereotypes, by lashing out at the female officer by stating that "She obviously had a horse in the parade," implying that she was a lesbian.
Do you not see how making this sort of a comment is prejudicial?
If you were in a situation that required a police officer's assistance, my guess is that the fact of whether or not she was a lesbian would be 100 percent irrelevant. So why is it important to render an opinion as to whether or not the female police in your story was a lesbian? What did she say or do that would lead you to that conclusion, and why was it important?
You are obviously an educated and worldly individual. So it's mind boggling to me that, here in 2011, you are continuing what I believe to be a longstanding practice of making fun of and discriminating against gays and lesbians. Although cloaked in what you most likely consider "light-hearted" humor, the message is still there, loud and clear.
You have a longstanding negative view towards the gay and lesbian community, and this is not simply conjecture on my part. You have demonstrated this for years.
My first recollection of your anti-gay and-lesbian agenda goes way back to 1992. When it became public knowledge that the actor who played Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch, Robert Reed, died of AIDS, you ridiculed and made fun of him for being gay and made countless jokes about how the father on the Brady Bunch was gay and died of AIDS.
Where was your compassion and empathy? Who would have ever thought that this presumably long-forgotten rant of yours from 1992 would come back to haunt you?
Mr. Kraddick, this was nearly two decades ago, and even today, you continue to show your prejudice towards the gay and lesbian community with your not-so-subtle jabs and jokes.
I am calling on you to: 1. Publicly apologize for the disparaging remarks and innuendoes you made Monday morning on your radio show and countless times in the past; 2. Come to terms with your negativity and bias towards the gay and lesbian community and either out yourself as a bigot or strive to gain acceptance and tolerance towards gays and lesbians. The latter will most likely require intense, long-term therapy; 3. Refrain from making gay jokes and perpetuating stereotypes on your radio show. While as an American citizen, you are certainly entitled to your personal views and opinions, as a public figure and someone in the radio in industry, you have a moral obligation to refrain from making public comments that are hurtful, offensive and derogatory towards any group of people. I'm actually surprised that KISS-FM has allowed you to get away with this for decades.
Please do not try and pacify me or others who are insulted by your comments by predictable and lame reasoning such as, "I have some gay acquaintances that I tolerate, therefore I am not prejudiced," or "I work with gays and lesbians that I get along with, so this makes me gay-friendly."
These outdated excuses don't cut it anymore. Although it may be somewhat of a trite statement, actions do indeed speak louder than words. Either admit publicly that you are prejudiced against gays and lesbians, or change your ways once and for all.
Don Anderson, Dallas, via email
Targeting gay Pride
I visited Dallas last weekend for the gay Pride festivities. I live in the Chicago now, but I grew up in Dallas. I have parked on Rawlins between Throckmorton and Reagan every time I have ever visited the Oak Lawn neighborhood.
On the day of the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade, not any other day, the city of Dallas felt the need to give every person parking on the street a parking ticket. And it is not illegal to park there.
It would appear, from my point of view, the city of Dallas felt the need to target the gay community for revenue because they knew it was Pride. I would not be as appalled by this if the city hadn't also charged the gay community for their festival.
I try to defend Dallas but I would have to agree, this time, Dallas was very anti-gay on Pride weekend. I and every car on this block was parked legally. I am not upset about the money; I will even pay the ticket. I am upset because I spend countless hours defending Dallas only to feel discriminated against on gay Pride weekend, of all the weekends.

The two former Boulder police officers accused of planning and carrying out the shooting and disposing of a trophy elk in the Mapleton Hill area are scheduled to be formally charged Feb. 7, according to court officials.
Former officers Sam Carter, 35, and Brent Curnow, 38, were arrested earlier this month on suspicion of nine charges -- including three felonies -- after investigators say texts between them revealed they planned the kill in advance.
Both Carter and Curnow were booked earlier this month on suspicion of forgery, tampering with physical evidence, attempting to influence a public official -- all felonies -- as well as unlawful taking of a trophy elk, conspiracy, a Samson surcharge, killing an elk out of season,
unlawful use of an electronic communication device to unlawfully take wildlife and first degree official misconduct -- all misdemeanors.
Carter and Curnow could face prison time and the loss of their official police certification. Both men were released on $20,000 personal recognizance bonds.
According to an affidavit, Carter told police the day after the shooting that he encountered an elk while on patrol near Mapleton Avenue and Ninth Street late Jan. 1 that he said was injured and needed to be put down. Carter then shot the animal with a shotgun, and Curnow -- who was off-duty -- came to pick up the carcass with the help of an on-duty Boulder County sheriff's deputy, identified as Jeff George.
Carter did not report the incident or notify his supervisors he fired his weapon that night.
According to an arrest affidavit, cell phone records obtained from phone carriers for Carter and Curnow show the shooting was premeditated. In the texts, Carter can be seen referring to the elk as early as 2:56 a.m. Jan. 1 -- almost 20 hours before the shooting.
Both Carter and Curnow resigned after an internal investigation was launched by the Boulder Police Department. ___

I'm sure we had an ios topic before but damned if I can find it.
So having just got a hand me down ipad 2 from my brother I'm trawling the app store more and that is such a phenomenal place full of amazing shit buried under piles of poop. Ive had my jaw drop several times playing around with stuff. Mainly the music stuff, christ, I've payed hundreds of pounds for things that I can almost fully emulate in a sub £10 (usually sub £5) app.
Musicy stuffs
Blew my mind when I first used it on iphone because its such a gamechanger. Basically it lets multiple apps talk to each other. A synth app can output directly into a daw recording app for example. Or a daw can output to an effects processor app and loop back to the daw. Its just amazing. So much so that Apple has basically ripped it off and built in "inter-app audio" (iaa) into IOS7 for free though not as many support iaa as audiobus but more and more support it as time goes on.
Another baby Reason though more focused on synths. Also hella impressive.
An incredible modular workstation that could tread or Reasons toes. Even the free app gives you access to an impressive amount of modules. It doesnt support iaa as an output though, which is a little unfortunate though it does support it as an input (midi and audio). I can see why but I would still like to output to a daw.
A synth that lets you customise the sound by way of a cuircuit system. You can route the sound through different filters and effects, split the sound and send it through two completely different paths with so many options. Its so damn intuitive and fun.
...DAW in your pocket. Not a shitty one either.... you could concievably do an entire professional sounding album on a phone/tablet. The 3 grand I dropped on a music PC 8 years ago can now be done on a 400quid handheld
....and thats just a few. I'm going to spend so much money on this stuff! It was great on iphone but that extra ipad screen real estate takes it to the next level of ohshitwow.
Man, how good does this feel with touch? I was worried it would be too finicky but theyve done an amazing job.
Frozen Synapse
Good but a bit footery. The UI isnt terribly well designed or intuitive but once you get past that its real good.
Greed Corp HD
I just love this game and its fab on every format.... and its only 69p!
Distant Star
A full little 4X game. Deep enough for a mobile game without being too deep. I hear Starbase Orion is Master Of Orion in all but name though.....
Other stuffs
Google Play Music
Its still awesome. Upload 2000 tracks and get them anywhere. Free.
The big screen makes this quite enjoyable. When you have time to kill its a nice way to hit random news on interesting topics. Looks damn pretty too.
I never thought I would like using an ipad so much. Ive had two android tabs before this and in comparison, droid is pish. I'm using it more to browse the web and just leaving the laptop off more and more. I'm actually tempted to buy an Air now
Tell me about your awesome apps! Its so hard to find stuff in that app store

Outdoor Activities for Families
With summer winding down and school starting soon, be sure to take advantage of the warm weather and extra family time by teaching your kids a love for exercise and enjoying the outdoors. They learn best by example, so offer to join them in activities that are fun for the whole family. Here are some ideas to get your family outside:
- Take a hike. Find a state park nearby and scope out the best trails for your family's age range. Make it fun for the kids by making a game out of it. Bring a list of animals and items to find along the trail, checking off each one as you go. Pack a Frisbee® and a healthy lunch for an outdoor picnic, and make it an all-day event.
- Water balloon volleyball. Set up a volleyball or badminton net and fill a bucket with small, thin water balloons. Divide the family into two teams and have each team stand on either side of the net. Give both teams a beach towel and have them hold it open. One team places a water balloon in their towel and launches it over the net. The other team must try to catch the water balloon with their towel and toss it back over the net. If one team misses, drops, or breaks the balloon, the other team gets a point.
- Play with the dog. A pet is an important part of any family and a great reason to keep everyone active. Make a family habit of visiting the dog park, taking a walk around the block or tossing a tennis ball in the yard. Both parties will get the exercise and fresh air they need. If your family doesn't have a pet, offer to take a busy or elderly neighbor's dog for a couple of hours.
- Create your own Summer Olympics. Invite the neighborhood kids to participate in kid-friendly versions of all your favorite Olympic games. Have each child bring a small wrapped prize, and place it in a gift bag. Set up relay races, long jump, free-throw contest, water balloon toss, etc. The winner of each event picks a prize from the gift bag.
- Work together. Ask the kids for help with outdoor chores like gardening or washing the car. This not only makes them feel important and involved, but also teaches responsibility and gives them exercise. Younger kids can easily water plants, pull weeds and help with planting, while the older kids can take on mowing, raking and mulching.
- Play a night game. Continue the fun after dark and start a game of "Ghost in the Graveyard." Designate one person as the ghost. Everyone else counts while the ghost hides. The first player to find the ghost shouts, "Ghost in the graveyard!" and everyone runs home before the ghost can tag them. If someone is tagged before they reach home, they are the ghost for the next round. Finish the game with a backyard bonfire and come up with a funny ghost story, having each person take turns making up one line at a time.
If you're going to be playing outdoor family games, be sure to provide kids with plenty of water and have them reapply sunscreen every two hours.

EMS Atlas Fleece Jacket
I don't know if this is the warmest or best value,…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $60
I don't know if this is the warmest or best value, all I know is that I live in this in everything but the coldest winter.
- warm
- comfortable
- durable
Two years ago my wife and I decided to treat ourselves to fleeces, moving up from standard issue cotton sweatshirts. The difference is night and day and I rarely if ever wear the sweatshirts now.
The first time this fleece really proved valuable was after a fall snowstorm that left us without power for eight days and a dozen trees down on and around the house. Both my wife and I spent a weekend with a chain saw cutting and cleaning the neighborhood. At no point did I feel cold and I never got too hot either.
In colder winter or on rainy days I pair this fleece with a Gore-tex shell and I'm fine to drive the car or walk the dog in temperatures below 20°F. If I'm doing a more vigorous activity like hiking then the shell/fleece combo is good into the teens. The fleece alone was perfect this weekend on a three hour hike in the low 30s.
As I said above this was my first fleece so I don't know how it compares to others but this one has given me no problems in Tibet, the White Mountains, or cutting wood.

Corman, who was born in Detroit in 1926, last directed a film in 1990 — "Frankenstein Unbound" — but his resume includes dozens of titles as a producer, director, writer and actor stretching back to 1955's "Five Guns West." Among some of Corman's most fondly remembered works as a director are 1960's "The Little Shop of Horrors" and the classic American International Pictures productions starring Vincent Price in adaptations of the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
During his decades in the industry, Corman helped launch the careers of such actors as Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson and also mentored filmmakers including Ron Howard and Jonathan Demme.
Demme presented Corman with his honorary Oscar in 2009.
As part of the New Media Film Festival's celebration of Corman's cinematic legacy, sculptor Brent Armstrong created a new piece paying tribute to the work of Paul Blaisdell, the special effects artist who designed monsters for Corman during his early years in the business.
Carpenter, of course, is a legend in his own right — the respected veteran is best known for a series of landmark genre films including "Halloween," "Escape from New York," "The Thing" and "Big Trouble in Little China," among others.

Braised Greens with Black Olives (gluten-free, vegan, ACD)
The other night when I opened my refrigerator, I was greeted by an eccentric mix of edibles. I had jars of rhubarb pickles, pickled beets, sauerkraut, preserved lemons, diluted coconut milk, and two massive bags of rhubarb crowding the lower shelf. Homemade mayonnaise and mustards, flax oil, hemp oil, cod liver oil, curry pastes, anchovies, and miso crowded the compartments on the door. I had beet kvass, kefir grains, a tiny amount of yogurt, a gnarly nob of fresh horseradish, lots of eggs, two kinds of hummus from the food swap, three (three!!!) varieties of homemade rhubarb sauces, and one package of elk pork sausage on other shelves. In my crisper drawer, I found a stray bulb of kohlrabi, lots of spinach, 1 bunch of kale, 2 stalks green garlic, and the requisite carrots and celery.
My generally spastic lack of meal and ingredient planning seemed to be exhibiting itself in full form. Goodness gracious. I looked at that colorful assortment and wondered what in the world I would make for dinner. I had a ton of food, but it was all unusual. A woman can't live on rhubarb or fermented vegetables alone (although the last few weeks, I've been awfully close).
I wasn't terribly hungry, so I defaulted to sauteed greens, dotted with onions, those green garlic stalks, and oily, rich black Moroccan olives. Those olives absolutely win me over, day or night, and I thought they would add a wonderful richness to light spring greens. I added a little broth, a little splash of balsamic vinegar, and - voila - a beautiful dinner was made!
And, as a side note, while the greens cooked, I managed to eat a buckwheat muffin, snack on some cashews, and finished up two of the waning rhubarb sauces. I served them over leftover yogurt on different sides of the bowl. Geez. So much for not feeling "hungry". I felt like a fancy compost pile, absorbing whatever tasty foods needed to be cleaned out of the fridge! Finally settling down with a big bowl of these greens was a delightful end to my rather, uh, scattered dinner.
Braised Greens with Black Olives
Yield: 2-4 servings
You could easily substitute either the spinach or kale with equivalent amounts of another dark leafy green, such as Swiss chard, collards, dandelion greens, or mustard greens. I would recommend getting oil-cured Moroccan black olives, as the recipe calls for, if making this recipe. They have a very rich rich, oily, figgy, salty flavor that sets them apart from their conventional brine-packed black olive cousins. Find them at co-ops, natural foods stores, gourmet markets, or middle Eastern markets. They will not be packed in brine, and are considered a "dry" olive. Sometimes you can find these dry olives packed with thyme, Herbes de Provence, garlic, or red pepper flakes - any of those flavors would also work very well. If you cannot find Moroccan oil-cured olives, you could always substitute kalamata olives, which will have a very different flavor but will be better for this recipe than canned black or green olives.
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 stalks green garlic or 2 small leeks
- 1/3 cup pitted oil-cured Moroccan black olives
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth, divided
- 3 cups packed fresh spinach
- 3 cups packed fresh kale, ribs removed and leaves chopped
- pinch aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice)
Slice onion. Trim the long, darker green leaves off the garlic stalk, and finely slice the head and light green portions of the stalk. Finely chop the pitted black olives.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add onion and green garlic (or leeks) and saute for 5 minutes. Then add olives and 1/2 cup broth, stir, cover, and braise for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and replacing cover. Onions should be quite tender at this point. Add greens on top of onions, add remaining broth, and cover. Braise for about 8 minutes, stirring often, until greens are tender. Then remove cover and let cool for 3-5 more minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate. Remove from heat and sprinkle with aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes and balsamic or lemon, if using. Serve warm.

Learn more about how our students are using their time off to change lives.
When you first go away to college, you have no idea how much your life will change until you finally get there.
From your first night away from home to your first Homecoming, you're gaining experiences like no other you'll find before or after college life. If that weren't enough, you're still given even more opportunities throughout your college life like no other you can find any place else. The Alternative Breaks program is one of those very opportunities that will change you for the rest of your life!
Alternative Breaks are an opportunity for you to grow, meet new people, and most importantly leave a lasting mark on a community in great need of help. An adventurous group of students is chosen to come together, travel to a different part of the country, and directly help people who need it the most.
By the end of the trip, you'll create bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime and make a lifelong impact on the people you serve.
The Alternative Breaks program was reinstated at Ball State in 2004. Students have traveled to Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Texas, and West Virginia to help with projects ranging from assisting refugees and immigrants to building and renovating homes.
There is an application and selection process for each Alternative Break trip. The application process for the Alternative Fall Break trip will begin in September while the application for the Spring Break trip will begin in January!
To apply for the Spring 2018 Alternative Break trip, download the application. For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The ABCs of Death
The ABCs of Death, an anthology of 26 short films about people being killed in spectacularly gruesome, farcical, and universally disgusting ways, is scary in a way its makers may not have anticipated: it shows how deeply uninspired and visionless horror-movie filmmaking has become.
Ever since the genre stopped caring about bottling the sensation of fear in favor of shock and gore, it's gotten away from true horror, a format that works best when deeply invested in the psychology of fear. Movies like the Saw franchise and its various torture-porn imitators have become less and less interested in messing with their audience's brains than moving the goalpost of the grotesque ever further, an objective that ensures obsolescence. There are only so many severed limbs and plucked eyeballs you can see before you're irrevocably desensitized. What haven't we seen that could still shock us? The list of possibilities grows smaller and smaller. Tom Six actually managed to horrify us in a whole new way with The Human Centipede, but even that nightmare concept became commercialized, sequelized, and stale.
Twenty-seven directors, all supposedly luminaries in the horror movie world, were brought in to film two-to-four minute segments for The ABCs of Death, in an attempt to show the diversity the genre still posseses. Sadly, rather than expand the parameters of horror, these twenty-seven filmmakers mostly converge on the same tropes. There are three conditions for each short: they must begin and end on an image of red (guaranteeing that at least half of the shorts begin and end with a shot of blood), there must be one death, and they must correspond to a letter of the alphabet meaning we get titles like "F is for Fart," "L is for Libido," and "W is for WTF." That ensures the audience will experience acute B for Boredom on account of L for Laziness.
Anyone who's made short films can tell you that cinematic storytelling in under 10 minutes tends toward heightened emotions, with narrative twists that seek to compress a feature's worth of sensation into a tiny window. Add a requisite horror element and you get a succession of Jack in the Box effects. "D is for Dogfight" is transgressive, I suppose, in its depiction of a man graphically biting a dog, but it's diminished because, in the end, that short is entirely about how transgressive it is. And most of these films are just wafer-thin hooks for startling images. The opening salvo of a segment, "A is for Apocalypse," about a wife taking care of her bedridden husband who reaches a drastic decision regarding his care, should play like a more gruesome version of Michael Haneke's Amour. Instead it is robbed of any resonance because director Nacho Vigolondo provides no context to the couple's relationship.
However, the filmmakers here who successfully answer the question "What can still scare us?" locate that answer where great artists before them did: in real-world fears. Eli Roth's Hostel movies stand as credible horror unlike the Saw flicks because they tap a uniquely insular (and uniquely American) fear of the rest of the world beyond the United States. In The ABCs of Death Hobo with a Shotgun auteur Jason Eisener does just that in "Y is for Youngbuck," which translates a very real fear of childhood sexual abuse into cathartic revenge.
Similarly Simon Rumley's "Pressure" taps a mother's uncertainty about how to provide for her children, and shows just how far she is willing to go to support them. Lee Hardcastle's "T is for Toilet" finds horror in what used to be an old standby in the heyday of Polanski: plumbing, and its function of keeping us blissfully unaware of where excrement goes. Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers), possibly the most original American horror maestro of the last decade, dives deep into the realm of body horror with "M is for Miscarriage," as do Amer masterminds Bruno Forzani and Héléne Cattet with the ode to David Cronenberg "O is for Orgasm."
These shorts are the ones that actually get inside our heads. If our brains are our biggest erogenous zone, so is it also the nexus of our fears. Not our stomachs, nor our adrenal glands. That's why you need story to fuel and contextualize the greatest scares. Without story giving context to sex, you've got YouPorn. Without story giving context to horror, you've got much of The ABCs of Death.

It is a tribute to the skill of MotoGP mechanics how easily we can forget that motorbike racing truly is a team sport. Though the rider is the most visible member of the team, the one who captures the hearts of fans and the one whose talents are most likely to inspire us, without top level support from a team, the rider is helpless. On the rare occasion that the team fails their rider, only then are we likely to recognize how good a job they do the rest of the time.
Dani Pedrosa's nightmare in Misano was a painful example of this. On pole position, 13 points behind Jorge Lorenzo, having finished every race so far this season, and with his best chance ever finally to win a premiere class title, Pedrosa was forced to start from the back of the grid after his team couldn't free the front tire warmer and had to move his bike from the grid to pit lane. From outside HRC, we don't know exactly what happened.

She did it again.
For the third year in a row, and the fourth time overall, Vanya Shivashankar has won a spot at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
On Thursday morning, the beaming California Trails seventh grader clutched her first place trophy at the Olathe Spelling Bee, which took place at Frontier Trail Middle School. The bee is sponsored by The Star's sister publication, The Olathe News.
The district win qualifies Vanya to attend the national spelling bee in Washington, D.C., in May and brings her a dictionary donated by Merriam-Webster. Last year, she made it to fifth place in the televised national competition. This year, she hopes to outrank that position.
Although Vanya is an old pro at reciting spellings in front of a crowd, the 12-year-old doesn't plan on retiring her dictionary just yet.
In the months before the national competition, she'll be intently studying not only spellings, but word patterns, definitions, origins and languages.
"There are still a bunch of words I don't know and I'm always learning new ones," she said. "At nationals, they can ask any word out of the dictionary, which is a little scary."
Like every year, she might turn to her older sister, Kavya, for advice.
Kavya won the Olathe Spelling Bee four times as a kid and took home the first place trophy at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2009.
Although Vanya appears to be walking in her older sister's footsteps, her father says his younger daughter puts her all into each spelling bee because she truly loves it.
"Kids really ought to enjoy what they're doing in order to succeed," said Mirle Shivashankar. "Spelling can be boring if you don't enjoy it. If my daughter wasn't having fun, she wouldn't be doing it."
While it's fun, it's also a lot of hard work, he added.
"When you're in a spelling bee, there is no second chance," Shivashankar said. "One slip of the tongue or one letter off and you have to wait until next year to start the process all over again."
This year, the doting father was impressed by the competition his daughter faced at the district spelling bee.
"Not only am I proud of Vanya, but I'm proud of all the kids who competed because everyone did so well," he said. "The caliber of kids has significantly increased since the bee started eight years ago. The enthusiasm of spelling bees has become contagious and more kids are coming prepared, which is exciting to see."
One of those fierce competitors was Amrith Samuel, a fifth grader at Cedar Creek Elementary School.
He was in the running for first place until he misspelled 'patrician.'
Coming in second, however, didn't crush his spirit.
"I'm just really happy I made it this far," said Amrith, who won fifth place in the district bee last year. "I practiced a lot."
His father, Prem Samuel, couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he watched his son hold his trophy on stage.
"Amrith is very persistent and he doesn't give up," he said. "He's small but feisty and a very hard worker."
He joked that the scene was a bit like déjà vu, however.
In 2009, his older son Ashwanth, who is now in high school, placed second to Kavya in the district spelling bee.
He hopes maybe one day, the tables will be turned.
"It's a little bit of a rivalry," he said with a laugh. "But we are sincerely impressed with Vanya and think her family is great. We're very proud of Amrith and we're excited to see how he does next year."
