Nukes and the Pro-Life Christian
A conservative takes a second look at the morality of nuclear weapons and discovers that there's more than one way to choose life.
A conservative takes a second look at the morality of nuclear weapons and discovers that there's more than one way to choose life.
Setsuko Thurlow was 13 when "progress" came to Hiroshima in a white-hot flash. In the dark silence following the nuclear bomb blast, Thurlow recalls children crying, "Mama, help me. God, help me."
Her sister lived for four days. Many of her 351 dying schoolmates "looked like skeletons with skin hanging from their bones."
They perished in agony.
Today, Thurlow and other survivors travel the globe, sharing their stories with a new generation for which nuclear weapons are an afterthought — seemingly a hypothetical and abstract threat.
The end of the Cold War had a mixed effect on the nuclear equation. Through dogged diplomacy and effective institutions, disarmament continues, though at a slower pace in recent years. There are now 10,000 operational nuclear warheads in the world, down from a high of 64,000 in 1986.
But the specter of nuclear terrorism and regional conflicts between nuclear weapons states makes nuclear weapons even more dangerous in our international system. Deterrence theory, which governed strategic thinking during the Cold War, is a much less compelling framework today.
Thankfully, most states have forsworn these armaments. Nuclear weapons are not vital to any state's legitimate security interest. No state or NGO has the capacity to respond to the unfathomable humanitarian crisis that would follow an accidental or intentional use of a nuclear weapon.
Thus a growing global consensus now acknowledges the extreme risk nuclear weapons pose.
Pope John XXIII stated unequivocally in his 1963 encyclical "Pacem in Terris," "Nuclear weapons must be banned."
The forthcoming dedication of the national memorial monument honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., affords an opening for considering the complexity and meaning of his leadership. He was not the tamed and desiccated civil hero as often portrayed in the United States around the time of his birthday, celebrated as a national holiday. He was until the moment of his death raising issues that challenged the conventional wisdom on poverty and racism, but also concerning war and peace.
King was in St. Joseph's Infirmary, Atlanta, for exhaustion and a viral infection when it was reported that he would receive the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. As Gary M. Pomerantz writes in Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn, this was the apparent cost exacted by intelligence surveillance efforts and the pressures of learning that Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy had formally approved wiretaps by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His evolving strength as a leader is revealed in his remarks in Norway that December, which linked the nonviolent struggle of the U.S. civil rights movement to the entire planet's need for disarmament.

Music Reviews
Pianist Orrin Evans came up in Philadelphia, absorbing lessons from local keyboard heroes like Shirley Scott and Trudy Pitts. Evans has played with Bobby Watson, the Mingus Big Band and the group Tar Baby. He leads the Captain Black big band and has recorded with various small groups. Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead says Evans' new trio record make a perfect introduction.
KEVIN WHITEHEAD, BYLINE: Orrin Evans on Ornette Coleman's "Blues Connotation," where drummer Donald Edwards and bassist Eric Revis set a New Orleans second-line groove tinged with vintage hip-hop. A beat like that is catnip to pianist, and Evans gets right down and rolls in it. He quotes from Monk and Miles tunes in his solo, keeping the mood light.
WHITEHEAD: Orrin Evans' new album is called "...It was beauty." Folks who love Brad Mehldau's gem-like ballads and lucidly developed solos will find a lot to like here. Evans can be a heavy hitter at the keyboard, but this time out, he reins himself in a bit. His latest version of Hoagy Carmichael's "Rockin' Chair" is so achingly slow, it takes the trio three and a half minutes just to play the melody. They treat it with extraordinary tenderness, as if afraid the fabric will tear.
WHITEHEAD: Evans isn't always so delicate. At heart, he's a diehard Philly swinger with a roving, playful side. At the end of his tune "Dorm Life," he massages a two-note piano lick, expands it into a three-note nod to Leonard Bernstein's "Maria" over a fat swing groove, then works his way back to the original figure.
WHITEHEAD: The bass player in that one is Luques Curtis. On the album "...It was beauty," Orrin Evans tweaks his trio, swapping out bassist Eric Revis a couple of times, as if guests were sitting in during a nightclub set. Two pieces have two bassists, a tricky combination that Revis and Ben Wolfe keep under control. The four musicians treat that ensemble like an interlocking drum choir. Everything is a percussion instrument.
WHITEHEAD: Orrin Evans came in for some rash criticism last year when he declared he'd rather not call his music jazz, preferring the broader term Black American Music. One reason he gave: hoping to see more people in his audiences who look like him. In keeping with that big-tent aesthetic, Evans closes his album with a luminous take on Andre Crouch's hymn "My Tribute." It was a favorite of the pianist's mom. In Orrin Evans' neighborhood, the church, the nightclub and the corner all share the same block.
DAVIES: Kevin Whitehead writes for Point of Departure, DownBeat, and eMusic and is the author of "Why Jazz?" He reviewed "...It was Beauty" by Orrin Evans.

From August 19th to August 21st ASAP Welcomed our Cohort 9 students!
The three day orientation event began with opening remarks by Director, Ms. Bobbi Brauer. From there, students were provided with presentations from our Career and Employment Specialist, Mr. Atkins, a Financial Aid representative as well as a representative from the Single Stop program.
Students got a chance to tour the campus, find out where all of the departments were as well as bond with other new students by participating in our scavenger hunt!
After a quick lunch, everyone got individual time with their Student Manager and got a chance to ask questions, get more information and meet other students who have the same major. Everyone had a great time and truly began to build the foundation of there QCC and ASAP career.
On April 19th students from the ASAP program visited the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. Students were able to tour the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, which houses the famous Orchid Show. Our wonderful docent Rose made the experience an enjoyable and educational one. Here's what a few students had to say;
"The scenery was colorful, blooming and serene. I am happy I joined this trip. I look forward to go on many more trips with ASAP…this was our getaway from the stressors we will face before finals."
"Thank you for coordinating a wonderful trip to the Botanical Gardens. The abundance of plants and flowers truly made me feel like I was in paradise! It was an informative and relaxing experience that I would definitely want to do again. The Orchid Show was a splendid sight and the shuttle ride was a beautiful tour of the vast Garden. Looking forward to the trips that have yet to come!"
"My time at the botanical gardens was amazing! The flowers were so beautiful! It is a really nice place to go. I think everybody should go because it is amazing!"
On March 19th ASAP students and staff came together to participate in ASAP Day; a day showcasing ASAP pride and an opportunity for perspective students to find out about and apply to the program. ASAP Student Leaders rallied current students to help promote the program by giving out flyers, talking about the benefits of the program, and directing them to the ASAP office where an all day Open House was held. Thanks to the efforts of our motivated team, ASAP had a total of 84 applications!
On February 19th, ASAP hosted their 2nd annual Welcome Back Mocktail Reception. Co-facilitated by Career and Employment Specialist Mr. Atkins and Student Manager Melissa Schwartz, students were shown the do's and don't's of professional networking, including how to introduce yourself to a prospective employer, how to navigate eating and mingling gracefully, and how to follow up with someone in a professional email. Here's what some students had to say about the event:
"It was awesome!! Truly a great way to learn networking techniques that we can apply now and in future networking events."
"The advice on how to close a conversation and how to hold objects when mingling was most helpful."
On January 9th, students in the ASAP program went to see the Broadway show "Peter and the Star Catcher". Performances by Matthew Saldivar (Black Stache), Betsy Hogg (Molly), and Adam Chanler-Berat (Peter) were enjoyed at the beautiful Brooks Atkinson Theater. Here's what a few of our students had to say about the show:
"It was fantabulous. I loved it!!!!! The actors did so much with so little. The thespians created an imaginary set RIGHT out of thin air!"
"The cast was superb, the script was hysterical and the use of "people as props" was ingenious. That probably makes no sense to people who haven't seen the show, and for good reason. I tried describing it to friends and family but found myself needing to act it out instead! ASAP was pretty great with it, picking us up at school and dropping us off right in front of the theater...I had already known some of the students from my ASAP classes but we became much closer after having a great time together. It's definitely something worth experiencing. Thank you, ASAP."
On December 10th 2012 ASAP celebrated its 5th annual OPEN MIC Holiday Party. Jaydee Rampersad, Ariel Diaz, Lauren Genao, Ashley Persaud, Patrice Kirkland, Marvin Thompson, Ngawang Tharchin, Sasha Hulse, Chelsea Chinapen, Juan Jazmin, and John Balda performed original guitar music, spoken word, a cultural dance, a few songs and even an educational skit on domestic violence. The party concluded with a delicious dinner and gift bags for all attendees.
Written by the ASAP Leadership Team; Nathaly Callejas, Crisitina Enriquez, Clariza Mayo, and Danielle Micelli
On May 2nd 2012 ASAP had its annual event which consisted of two parts. The first portion was a talk on domestic violence by Dr. Carmella Marrone from the "White Ribbon Campaign" and "Women & Work."The second portion featured a self defense presentation facilitated by Zosia Gorbaty, NWMAF certified self defense instructor who is also an 8th degree black belt, Zujitsu. Both parts of the event were meant to encourage women to stand up and speak up against domestic violence. We also held a raffle, served pizza and refreshments.
Collecting donations for Domestic Violence survivors was a lifetime experience. At our first meeting we decided to start off by selling candy around campus and then have a big sale in April. We all went around selling and promoting the event during our free time. Doing this for about two weeks we were able to collect approximately $200 dollars. But we didn't stop there; after we were done with the boxes, we moved on to selling raffle tickets and giving out flyers to promote our event. On April 23, we had our first big sale. The terrible weather didn't stop us. Standing against the wind and going around departments we managed to sell about $260 dollars. The second day was a lot better. Another great thing that happened during that week was that we were able to sell almost all our "Survivor" wristbands, the teddy bears, "stop domestic violence" pencils and little ducks. This might all sound difficult because of the amount of work we put into it but we don't consider it that way; it is because we are passionate about helping others. Furthermore we would do anything within our power to Stop Domestic Violence and make a difference in the survivor's life to show them that they are not alone. The ASAP Leadership Team was able to raise a total of $1,160 with ALL monies going directly to Women and Work.
On March 21st, students in the ASAP program went to see the Broadway show "Once". Performances by Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti were enjoyed at the beautiful Bernard B. Jacobs Theater. Here's what a few of our students had to say about the show:
"The broadway show "Once" was great! Finally a play with less dancing and more singing, and unlike many other shows you could actually see the musicians playing on stage. That was a major plus for me."
"The play gave me a warm and butterfly feeling inside. Great mix of love and comedy."
"I really enjoyed the play. The theme throughout the play was followed to the end. Thank You for ASAP."
"I really liked this play. I liked that it was funny at times and I also enjoyed the music. My favorite character was "Girl". She was awkard yet likeable."
QBCC ASAP team presented its first Mocktail Networking/Welcome Back reception. Spearheaded and facilitated by the Career & Employment Specialist Stephen Atkins, the QBCC ASAP students were treated to a two part workshop designed to provide them with an experience which would allow them to learn about presenting themselves and how to conduct themselves during networking events.
The first part of the event was presented by the Creative Arts Team (CAT). CAT's presentation took our students on a self awareness journey and presented scenarios which they could encounter during an interview or networking event and how they may handle themselves.
The second part of the event was a table round-robin exercise that put the students through a series of open-ended questions testing their ability to intelligently and effectively communicate real life situations. We had a panel of six ASAP staff and faculty members facilitating this portion of the event. This proved to be a great segue from what CAT provided during the first part of the event. The students provided feedback to each other as well as the table facilitators giving insight as to how students need to practice to be prepared for situations such as these during actual networking or interviewing sessions.
The overall event proved to be a great success and participating students gave great feedback and asked whether we would do this event again in the future. Based on this feedback, the QBCC ASAP team has added this event to its Fall 2012 schedule of events.
On December 12th 2011 the ASAP staff and students celebrated their fourth annual Holiday Open Mic event. Performances included a cultural dance, as well as hip hop and break dancing, singing, poetry, rapping, and a comedic skit. Student Manager Danielle Izzo, our Resident Poet, joined in the festivities with a poem of her own entitled 'HIV'.
The festivities closed with a delicious dinner, and guests parted with a gift bag.
On December 2nd 2011 students from the ASAP program visited the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at Discovery Times Square. The exhibit included a detailed description of the famed Dead Sea Scrolls, and those who discovered them. There was also an actual stone from the Western Wall from the Second Temple in Jerusalem where visitors could leave a written prayer, as well as more than 500 never-before-seen artifacts from biblical times.
"..the Dead Sea Scrolls trip was a great experience in learning about the artifacts and stones in Jerusalem."
"It is fascinating to see how technology can be used to preserve paper.
"I felt like I went to Israel: the Wailing Wall was beautiful and I was able to identify some of the reading on their history."
"It turned out great! I learned how to spell God in Hebrew, got a camel and saw a lot of old coins."
"I had a great time at the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. I honestly didn't know too much about their story until the trip, but all the pieces from the caves were displayed interestingly, and there was even an adorable faux Wailing Wall for visitors to stash prayers into. Totally educational and fun."
On November 18th 2011 students from the ASAP program visited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. While there they toured the Fragrance Garden, the Japanese Hill and Pond Garden, and the Shakespeare Garden, among others. The insightful tour guides made the experience an enjoyable and educational one. Here's what a few students had to say;
"This trip was so worth it! I had so much fun with everyone and I was able to see the beautiful garden. It was so nice getting together and being outside of a school setting and still learning."
On October 26th 2011, students in the ASAP program went to see 'How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying'. We were lucky enough to see performances by Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette at the beautiful Hirschfeld Theater. Here's what a few of our students had to say about the show:
"The Broadway show was one of the wonderful times that I had enjoyed in my life so far."
"The show was an amazing experience; I really enjoyed it!!"
"I had a great time and it was really very worth going there! It was a new experience, and I am looking forward to finding another opportunity to go to a Broadway show again."
"It was a lovely experience seeing the Broadway play. Watching the musical made me appreciate theater in general, and the hard work that goes behind a successful production. In future I plan to see more Broadway entertainment."
ASAP welcomed its newest cohort on August 22nd, 2011.
The three day orientation began with opening remarks by QCC ASAP Director Ms. Bobbi Brauer. Students were then introduced to EKOarts and assigned to three performance groups; musical theater, spoken word, and dance. After their practice routine and a quick lunch, students were introduced to the various learning centers on campus, the Library Representative, Single Stop, and the Student Manager Coordinator.
Day two was performance day. Each group performed for their peers as well as a final song performed together. Lunch was followed by a presentation by the CES.
The third and last day of the Institute began with a central greeting from Student Government President and QCC President Call, continued with a campus wide scavenger hunt. The remainder of the day was spent with Student Managers.
Here's what some of our students had to say about their experience;
"Summer institute was great!!! I got to do new stuff!! I had never sing in front of a crowd before, never shared myself to strangers or went to a scavenger hunt. I made lots of friends, this was a very important factor for me.
"I think the best part of ASAP is that unity, the way we are all connected and never feel as the part of the big crowd but much more like a small school."
"I actually really enjoyed it, it was really fun and we got to know each other more, it helped us get out of our comfort zones and get comfortable with each other; it was really great!! :]"
On June 1st, 2011, the Queensborough Community College ASAP Program students and staff celebrated its first graduation reception for Cohort 2 and 3 students.
QCC ASAP Director, Ms. Bobbi Brauer, applauded the graduating students as well as their family members on the successful completion of the ASAP Program. Graduates were given the opportunity to say a few words about their most memorable ASAP moments, and thanked the staff for all of their support. Ms. Bobbi Brauer, Dean Paul Marchese, and Ms. Melissa Fernandez, ASAP Program Coordinator spoke to the graduates, before presenting them with their ASAP certificates, pins, and graduation gifts.
The afternoon concluded with an ice cream buffet and karaoke. Many of our students took the opportunity to show off their vocal skills…and a few who were simply brave enough to belt out their favorite tunes!
On December 6th 2010 the ASAP staff and students celebrated their third annual Holiday Open Mic event. Performances included dancing, guitar playing, singing, poetry, and a comedic skit. Student Manager Danielle Izzo, our Resident Poet, joined in the festivities with a poem of her own, 'Outlaw'. Here are a few reactions from performers and guests:
"Overall good experience…it makes people break out of their shell and show who they are in a room full of great people. The atmosphere was great, I felt good performing. Thank you for the open mic I loved it and the food was great!!" :)
"I truly enjoyed the Open Mic event; it was an amazing experience for me. Food was amazing and being around ALL ASAP students was FUN.. I LOVE ASAP!"
"I had a great time…it was great to perform something I wrote myself for everyone. Hopefully next time I won't be as nervous."
"I enjoyed the open mic night. Everyone that performed gave it their all and drew the crowd in with amazement. Wish I could have contributed like that. I want to thank ASAP for the food, entertainment, and gift. Merry Christmas!"
"With the stress of all my classes and the finals approaching, I felt the ASAP Open Mic event was a nice down time moment to relax and enjoy the show."
"I loved the ASAP Open Mic! Each performer portrayed real talent and it's enjoyable to watch the artistic side to the folks you interact with everyday."
"The last open mic was a blast, fun experience to see fellow ASAP students and staff perform. Can't wait for the next one... thank you ASAP ."
The festivities closed with a delicious dinner, and guests parted with a gift bag.
On November 12th 2010, ASAP students and two staff members went to the King Tut exhibit in Times Square. Here's what a few excited students had to say:
"The King Tut exhibit was a fun and appealing tour to attend and explore. There were many Egyptian artifacts and sculptures to observe and discover. During the tour of the exhibit, I felt like I was going back in time to Ancient Egypt from the surrounding art designs of paintings and symbols. I really learned a lot about Ancient Egypt and one of its famous Pharaohs Tutankhamun, which I am studying and learning about in my Ancient Civilizations history class (HI-110). Overall, it was a great opportunity to explore and go back in time and history to one of the greatest ancient civilizations of all times."
"From the moment we entered the exhibit, everyone was mesmerized by the sheer splendor of the Egyptian civilization as a gradual silence fell over the boisterous crowd. Experiencing this has been valuable and powerful to see a civilization from about 2000 years ago so advanced. Being a part of the Accelerated Study in Associate Program provided a once in a lifetime memorable opportunity."
On October 6th, 2010, students in the ASAP program went to see the Broadway musical 'Memphis' at the Shubert Theater. For many it was their first Broadway show. Here's what a few of our students had to say about their experience:
"I absolutely loved the trip! The play was amazing."
"It was amazing! My first time ever being at a play and I could honestly say that I enjoyed it. It was a great way to influence me beyond my understanding. I hope we get to have another Broadway trip."
"I've never been to a Broadway show before and watching the outstanding performance was amazing; I couldn't have asked for a better start to my first Broadway experience!"
"I was really intrigued with the story line and overall how it ended. I enjoyed the trip a lot and would really want to do again."
"I deeply enjoyed the Memphis play. It truly opened my eyes to how people can open their hearts to others. The musical and dancing captured my heart. Would love to see it one last time while still standing on this earth."
On September 24th, students in the ASAP program visited the Botanical Gardens in Bronx, NY. While there, the students toured the Edible Garden which features numerous vegetable gardens and displays. They also took a trolley tour of the grounds which included the Conservatory, the Rose Garden, and a garden that was designed by Martha Stewart! Here's what some of the students thought about the trip:
"The botanical garden was an awesome trip. Besides the trip itself where we got to see a lot of things, I also got the opportunity to make a new and awesome friend. So overall it turned out great and I hope to have more trips in the future."
"Going to botanical gardens was a great trip. I enjoyed it very much; I got a chance to see all different types of plants which was very educational. If you want to be a florist or botanist this is the place to go learn about the plants that are out there. I am so glad I went!"
Queensborough students in the Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) cheered and clapped as Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Matthew Goldstein, Chancellor of the City University of New York (CUNY) lauded theirs– as well as their sister community colleges' accomplishments –at a graduation recognition ceremony for ASAP students held at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) last week.
Of the initial cohort of 228 students enrolled in Queensborough's Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) for the fall 2007 semester, 60% are projected to graduate by August 2010, a significantly higher graduation rate than the historical three year graduation rate at Queensborough, ten percent higher than the original target, and one of the two highest graduation rates of all of the CUNY ASAP programs.
Bobbi Brauer, Director of ASAP at Queensborough, commented that, "The many wonderful advantages that this program provides, including individualized attention, free textbooks and Metrocards, as well as tuition support, have provided our students the foundation they need in order to realize their potential."
Just one example of such a student is Fatima Nisa Ali, '09, who graduated in two years with her Associate degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences. She was on the Dean's List every semester and has continued this trend as an English major at Queens College. Fatima—a passionate scholar of English literature— is the recipient of the ASAP Transfer Scholarship, Queens College Transfer Scholarship and the Robert D. Crozier Memorial Award for outstanding achievement in literature and writing. She was also listed in the spring 2009 edition of Who's Who Among Students in Colleges and Universities. At Queensborough, Fatima enjoyed submitting her poetry to the College's online literary magazine, QueensZine and participated in service learning activities on campus. "ASAP took the emotional stress out of going from high school to college and was a huge help financially," said Fatima, a life-long resident of Fresh Meadows, Queens, who aspires to one day become a college professor.
"ASAP is close to my heart because I have always been certain of its power to change lives," said Eduardo J. Martí, Ph.D., President of Queensborough Community College. "In fact, I have modeled other successful programs, such as our Freshman Academies, on its personalized approach toward academic advisement and student support."
The ASAP program, sponsored by CUNY with funding from Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the citywide Center for Economic Opportunity, was implemented at Queensborough and its five sister CUNY community colleges in the fall of 2007 to provide qualified students with tuition support and focused academic services to encourage student retention and advance graduation rates. One of the outstanding features of the program are the ASAP staff who regularly advise students on academic and extra-curricular issues, as well as outside problems that may be affecting their overall academic performance. ASAP students have reported that the extra support is extremely helpful in fostering team-learning, good friendships and helpful peer support.
Queensborough, located on a picturesque 37-acre site in Bayside, Queens, offers a rich liberal arts and science curriculum, as well as career and pre-professional courses. Over half of the faculty holds doctorates compared with 21% of faculty in other community colleges nationwide. Comprising one of the most diverse populations of any college in the U.S., more than 15,000 students pursue Associates degrees or Certificate programs and another 10,000 students of all ages attend continuing education programs. Among the campus's prized cultural resources are the Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center, the QCC Art Gallery, and the Queensborough Performing Arts Center (QPAC), created to stimulate ideas and intellectual curiosity while exposing students and the public to culture and the arts. Please visit our website at www.qcc.cuny.edu.
On April 26th, the EKO Arts team came back to join the ASAP students for another fantastic afternoon and performance. All activities were centered on "Exploring the place where serendipity, opportunity and planning intersect," which is the main theme of "Six Degrees of Separation", a play by John Guare.
After some warm-up exercises led by the EKO Arts teaching artists, students were separated into three groups; the actors, the singers, and the dancers. Each group went to a separate area to practice. One and a half hours later, everyone came together again. The actors performed a monologue from the play, touching on how fears can motivate and paralyze at the same time. The singers sang 'Reach Out and Touch', by Diana Ross, a song about extending yourself to others. Finally, the dancers performed an interpretive dance showing how movement is reactive, and how everyone's path is affected by someone else's. As the culminating performance, all the groups reunited to sing 'Lean on Me' by Bill Withers. The afternoon was truly inspiring and fun.

On February 27, the day after the Supreme Court handed down its 8-1 decision overturning a federal racketeering conviction of anti-abortion protesters, I happened to get on the New York subway with one of the West Side's more repugnant prolife demonstrators. A fixture in front of a women's health clinic not far from Lincoln Center, this elderly man dresses up much like a carnival vendor. He wears-perhaps he sells-all sorts of paraphernalia attached to his fly-fishing vest: tiny baby dolls, flags with slogans, miniature surgical implements. He carries poster-size photographs of mangled fetuses, which he pushes combatively in front of women entering or leaving the clinic. He is clearly a little unhinged, but not unsophisticated. That day he was waving a new handwritten poster emblazoned, "The Supreme Court Has Set Us Free."
He pretty much had it right. The Court's ruling in the seventeen-year-old case of the National Organization for Women v. Scheidler was indeed a solid victory for protestors-of all stripes-and a crushing defeat for NOW. Oddly, it has received almost no attention in the mainstream press.
With its origins in the volatile blockades and boycotts of the 1980s, NOW's class action suit against the Pro-Life Action Network (PLAN) had been unsettling from the start. Convinced that PLAN headed a national conspiracy of anti-abortion terrorists, NOW hit on the daring legal strategy of suing them...

Basically as the question states, if I use a domain account for the application pool, and the domain identity has a requiremet for the password to change every X days, does IIS6 handle the password change automatically or is that always manual process?
I have looked at numerous sites for this answer but I always see the walkthroughs having the user click on 'no expire' and 'do not prompt for new password' (or to that effect). Those two check boxes are not an option for my environment.

Exercising close to bedtime is OK, sleep experts say
Exercising close to bedtime isn't as bad for you as some people might think, according to a USA Today article.
"Jogging at midnight? Walking in the moonlight?
"If late night exercise works for you, just do it. That's new advice from a leading sleep group and other experts in sleep and exercise, all of whom say it's time to throw out the old rule that you should never exercise in the hours just before bedtime.
"Most people can sleep just fine after a workout, say experts from the National Sleep Foundation, relying on evidence from a growing body of research and a new poll. The 2013 Sleep in America Poll, out today, finds people who exercise at any time of day report sleeping better and feeling more rested than those who don't exercise. It also finds people who exercise in the last four hours before bedtime report sleeping just as well as those exercising earlier in the day.
"'The timing of exercise ought to be driven by when the pool's lap lane is open or when your tennis partner is available or when you have time to get away from work, not by some statement that has never been validated,' says Barbara Phillips, a University of Kentucky sleep medicine specialist who worked on the poll."

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (November 21, 2012)—A volcano in New Zealand has erupted for the second time in less than four months, sending a dark ash plume about two miles into the sky.
Authorities issued a no-fly alert above Mount Tongariro on central North Island after it erupted Wednesday afternoon.
Scientists said the eruption did not cause any damage or force road closures and that planes could divert around the mountain.
Volcanologist Tony Hurst said the eruption was unexpected, although scientists had placed the volcano on a higher alert after it erupted in August for the first time in more than a century.
Hurst said the dark ash indicated magma pressure deep underground caused the eruption.
A steam-driven eruption typically produces white ash.

Please can I have some advice. We are driving from Wild Catter Ranch in Graham Tx to Sante Fe and passing though Amarillo. We have daughters aged 6 years. We were thinking of spending 3 nights in Amarillo. Is this too much? What age appropiate activities are there for children?
Alternatively could someone recommend a drive itinerary for us?

Customer Reviews
- OUTSTANDING liner!!!! (Review by bonnell123)
This liner is AMAZING! I am a mailman in Wyoming where the weather can be a challenge. This liner gets the job done. I use them in combination with my stormtracker gloves when im working in sub-zero temps.
When the weather plays nice, I use them as an outer glove. They keep my hands warm to around 25F. They dont block much wind, but thery are not supposed to.
If they get wet they dry extremely quick. They are not bulky, so you can shove them in pocket and they will not get in the way.
If you want something to just keep your hands warm, this is it. If your planning to use as an outer glove take a look at the PL-150's. It may be worth your time !!

This isn't normal... Is it??
Over a year ago
My boyfriend and I were talking last night. He's been feeling ill a lot lately, and I have been trying to get him to start eating better – but he's not moving in with me until next year, and he lives about 30 minutes away, so I can't really keep an eye on what he's eating all the time. He's notorious for eating fast food as often as he can.
He likes the healthy vegan stuff I make him, but he wont make it himself. He seems to think it would take too much effort… because throwing some tofu in the skillet is more difficult than throwing a couple hot pockets in the microwave? Hmmm…
We were talking last night, because I just went shopping and got a alot of fruit. I tried multiple times to get him to eat -SOMETHING- with some sort of nutritional value (just wait until I finish my homemade green powder… He'll never even know when he's getting doses of healthy stuff), to which he responded "I had a can of pears earlier."
A can of pears.
A CAN of pears. In heavy syrup, no doubt.
I'm all for canning your own food (gotta prepare for the zombie apocalypse!) but commercially canned fruits are absolutely NOT an adequate replacement for raw fruits.
Have you ever looked at the nutritional info on a can of fruit?
There is exactly… 0%. You may as well drink a soda and call it an apple.
No offense to people who eat canned fruit for the taste – I love me a can of fruit cocktail now and then. But it simply is not a good replacement, or any kind of replacement, for the nutrition you get from raw fruit.
So I asked him when the last time he had a real raw piece of fruit was.
He said he wasn't sure, but it was definitely over a year ago.
Even when I was a total junk-food-junkie, I still ate fruit almost everyday. I guess it was just how I was raised.
So then we got on the subject of types of fruit and vegetables.
And came to the conclusion that he has NEVER tried a raw pear.
has NEVER tried a raw grapefruit.
has NEVER tried starfruit (which is sort of understandable, I guess)
And there is a whole slew of vegetables he doesn't know if he likes, because he cant remember if he ever tried them. But his general rule of thumb has always been "if its green, I dont like it" which is funny. Because everytime I have made something he was SURE he didn't like, he ended up loving it.
This isn't just his lifestyle now, he was RAISED on total crap.
So he thinks this is an average, normal lifestyle.
He thinks it's normal to eat maybe one piece of fruit a year (were not saying healthy, just normal).
Normal to never have tried a grapefruit or pear (or cucumber up until last month, which he liked).
I was raised in the midst of a crazy divided family. And while both sides were totally into junk food, and fast food, and meat and potatoes… both sides were also very casual about fruit being a part of a daily diet. We always had fresh fruit sitting out, and a normal breakfast would be a grapefruit (with brown sugar -.-) or a banana cut up into oatmeal, with the occasional bowl of cereal.
So to me, daily fruit has always been normal.
My roommates have always enjoyed fruit.
Most of the people I know (which really isn't many, because I generally don't like people) eat fruit.
So I guess my question is, what have all of you experienced when it comes to this?
Does your family eat fruit regularly?
I don't want to believe that the average 21 year old man has never tasted a pear before, and "wouldn't even know how to go about eating it."

Can you make a meal entirely of what you want him to eat, and invite him over? When he moves to your place it will be easier. Just keep cooking your style, and he will hopefully aquire a taste for these new, fresh fruits and veggies.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Unfortunately, this is a common problem in the US. Eating fast and easy, cheap food has replaced quality. People don't even know what kind of crap they are eating. Most people don't read the nutrition facts or the ingredients and that is a costly mistake. My advice to help him get the missing nutrients is get a juicer. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you can get kale, carrots, apples, whatever and make them into fresh juices. This is a start to help fill in those holes. Also., try cooking together to get the ball rolling. Start with easy stuff and look up 20-minute vegan meals. Lots of stuff out their that are healthy and easy.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Sad thing is, we're so indoctrinated from birth about animal products, and with all the adverts showing us cheap, fast and 'tasty' foods, we fall for it every time. Well, the knuckle dragging cavemen do. If fruit and veg had as much advertising and backing as the meat/dairy/etc industries do, then there would probably be a lot more people eating it. Humans are so easy to manipulate, it's sad really. Just try and introduce him to one fruit at a time….as he might just shun you if you try it all at once.
As for my family. My mum eats bananas on occassion. I don't eat as much fruit as I would like to as sometimes it can be expensive depending on the fruit I fancy at the time. But I will buy the more expensive ones if they are reduced. I had raspberries today that normally cost £2.50 for a small punnet. They were reduced to 63p.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I never see my mom eat fruit. The occasional banana every… year or so? Or maybe an apple pie. My sister is more of a vegetable person, but isn't afraid of fruits. And I'm the "fruitiest" eater in our household, even though I only have 2-3 servings of fruit on average (unless it's smoothie time!)
Also, there are some fruits that people just never get around to eating. I ate kiwi once in my life and decided I didn't like kiwi. But to never have ANY fruit at all, is obviously unhealthy.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Myths and Truths of the 3-D Printing 'Phenomenon'
Really great article about how 3D printing will compliment other manufacturing techniques, and what it's really good for.
Never before have we had a technology where we can so freely translate our ideas into a tangible object with little regard to the machinery or skills available. Yet just as the microwave didn't replace all other forms of cooking as initially predicted, 3-D printing will not replace other manufacturing technologies let alone industrial-scale ones for a variety of reasons. It will complement them.

Pneumatic logic
The RepRap project was how I first learned about 3d printing. It has the remarkable mission, in that I'm remarking about it, of printing all of the parts to make another printer. Wow. Well, in principle, all of the circuits can be replaced with pneumatic ones. And also, you know, it might make a cool theme for a sci-fi flick. Just imagine a 3d printer printing with a background of hydraulic valves, pumps and hoses. Generate a pressure difference with steam and you've made a steam punk wet dream.
Printrbot Simple
Anyone interested in a $300 3D printer? How cheap can one of these get?
The Printrbot Simple is an exercise in 3d printing minimalism. It includes only what is needed to get started in the world of 3D printing. At $299, we think you will agree that it is both tiny…and a really big deal.

This looks great, but screams "vaporware" to me. Mixing PLA after it's melted to achieve different colors? Auto-leveling build plate? Built in support for PVA dual-extruder supports? It's all technically possible, but way, way non-trivial.
But maybe! I'll keep an eye on this one.

Insects Au Gratin looks for new ways of consuming insects and debates the nutritive and environmental aspects of insects as human food. One of the aspects that deters people from eating insects not only has to do with cultural background, but also with the aesthetics of the dishes themselves.

SOURCE: Clary, Frank Nicholas. "'Imagine No Worse of Them': Hippolyta on the Ritual Threshold in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream." In Ceremony and Text in the Renaissance, edited by Douglas F. Rutledge, pp. 155-66. Newark: University of Delaware Press, 1996.
In the following essay, Clary discusses the Pyramus and Thisbe interlude in A Midsummer Night's Dream in terms of the ritual of wedding-night revelry. The critic argues that although traditionally the principal function of this rite is to allay male fears of domestication, here it is also designed to initiate Hippolyta into Athenian society.
The Pyramus and Thisbe episode at the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream is the threshold moment in a pageant of events that began with an early morning observance of the rite of May and will continue for a fortnight in nuptial solemnity and nightly revels. Between after supper...
