Matthew Sanders: The Atlantic is super-wrong for using 'fascist' label in Superman story
And so it's come to this? The Atlantic is equating someone for his belief in traditional, time-honored marriage with the 20th century's most heinous mass murderers?
Featured by The Atlantic's online editors as a top story, Noah Berlatsky's article labels Orson Scott Card and anyone who shares his belief and stance for traditional marriage as a bigot and a fascist. Berlatsky is a gay activist who writes about comics and culture and understandably advocates for his ideals and beliefs.
Berlatsky opposes DC Comic's decision to allow the award-winning, best-selling science fiction writer Orson Scott Card to write for their Superman franchise. But instead of using thoughtful argument, Berlatsky hurls labels: bigoted and fascist, equating Superman and Card with the KKK and fascists. Yet, shortly thereafter, Berlatsky suggests that Superman is "supergood" and would never hate gays like Card and his type.
Here's the problem and the danger with Berlatsky's approach and why it should be understood in a different frame. First, he grossly misuses the notion of fascism, while using some of its subtle tactics. Second, he twists the debate to turn Card's freedom to express belief and principles into the arch-enemy of good.
Misuse of "fascism"
Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Mao, Pol Pot and other fascists, communists and totalitarians spilled the blood of over 100 million people in the 20th century. In each case, they assumed total and complete power over their populations. They built fervor for their ideologies by segmenting their population with labels.
One can take issue with Card's beliefs and tact, but for The Atlantic to equate the fiction author's defense of his beliefs as fascism is absurd, and ironic. Absurd because Berlatsky attaches a sweeping label to supporters of traditional marriage as "anti-gay" and "homophobic," as though they wouldn't be for marriage if it weren't for their hate. Ironic because he actually mimics tactics used by real fascists like Il Duce, Mussolini — where in his famous motto he declared, "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." It is hard to ignore such similarities when activists like Berlatsky label any beliefs or statements other than complete support for gay marriage as "hate speech" or "thought crimes."
His techniques aside, Berlatsky's cavalier use of the word and notion represents a lack of historical perspective and human sensitivity. I've seen the results of fascism at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem's heart-wrenching holocaust museum. I've been in the former Yugoslavia and in Albania where totalitarians chained their people's thoughts, beliefs and behaviors to a totalitarian regime. More recently, I've been involved in humanitarian aid efforts for Cambodia, where there remains a haunting lack of an older generation because they were exterminated by Pol Pot.
I also recall in a class at Harvard when someone used the word "fascist" to label someone else's comment. My Spanish classmate nearly came out of his chair to rebuff the individual for misusing the word, forcefully clarifying the difference between an economic policy position and the coercive living conditions in Franco's fascist Spain. He expressed it with passion and horror, giving guarded detail about the effect on his family and friends.
Such experiences left me committed to always use the words "fascist" or "Nazi" with great care.

Murder Kroger
The Kroger supermarket at 725 Ponce de Leon Avenue in Poncey-Highland, Atlanta[1] has been popularly known as Murder Kroger for two decades.[2][3] Since 2014, the store has been refurbished and promoted as BeltLine Kroger by the owners.[4][5][6] The store opened in 1984 and is considered a local landmark.[7][8] Murders took place in the parking lot in 1991 and 2015.[9] In 2002, an odorous corpse was found in a vehicle.[10] On Friday, January 15, 2016, Kroger announced that the location would be demolished in favor of a new location as part of mixed-use development incorporating office space and expanded parking.[11]
An article in Creative Loafing called the store "one of the city's quirky charms that Atlantans seem to both love and hate at the same time".[2] It opened shortly after 1986, when low-interest government loans were used to convert the adjacent and former Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant into lofts and commercial spaces.[12] From the 1990s,[13] and until at least 2002,[14] the store had drivers license renewal services. In 2002 the store tested scan-it-yourself checkout devices.[15] After two Publix supermarkets opened nearby, the store was refurbished around 2002.[16] The closest neighboring Kroger, near Little Five Points, is the area's top performing one, as of 2006.[17]
In October 1999, a man robbed the Bank of America inside the store.[18] A song titled "Murder Kroger" by the group Attractive Eighties Women, which incorporates a mention of the nearby Clermont Lounge into the lyrics, is dedicated to shoppers who frequent the store.[19] Renovations were scheduled for completion in November 2014 at the market, including a bike/pedestrian ramp to the Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail, a bike repair station, new curbs and sidewalks (including paved sidewalk access to Ponce de Leon Avenue), new trees and landscaping, a "water quality pond" in the parking lot to filter runoff, new LED parking lot lighting and repaving the front and back parking lots.[4][20]
Murders and corpse[edit]
- In 1991, a 25-year-old woman, Cynthia Prioleau,[3] died after a shooting in the parking lot.[21] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution attributed the nickname "Scary Kroger" to the store because of the event.[21] The murder remains unsolved.[3]
- In August 2002, a strong odor raised the suspicions of a woman who reported her findings to police; a dead man was in a car in the parking lot.[10]
- In 2012, a 20-year-old male junior at Georgia State University, Lee Lowery,[22] was murdered just inside the Ford Factory Lofts, which shares a parking lot with Murder Kroger.[23]
- On March 10, 2015, Joshua R. Richey[24] was shot in the chest beside the Kroger building, and died.[9][25]

A vapor-type desolventizer was developed previously at this laboratory to recover hexane and concentrated alcohols from soybean mares. The work reported in this paper extends the application of this unit to the recovery of dilute alcohols. Soybean protein meals washed with aqueous alcohols are debittered to yield a better flavored product with a significant increase in protein content. The protein of defatted meal was increased from about 50 to 70 or 75% by washing with methanol, ethanol, or isopropyl alcohol in a concentration range of 50–70%. System modifications and critical variables were investigated so as to minimize residual alcohol and to yield a free-flowing homogeneous product. Residual alcohol in the desolventized flakes was 0.25–1.0%. Facility of removal followed the order—methanol, isopropyl alcohol, and ethanol. Two-stage flash desolventization as well as the use of the more dilute alcohols resulted in lower residual alcohol content of the desolventized product. After a minimum value for residual alcohol in the flakes is reached, further removal is difficult. However, water continues to be removed so that the alcohol water ratio becomes higher with an increased vaporization force as with increased temperature. It is postulated that the alcohol is held by adsorption or hydrogen bonding. The desolventized products analyzed: protein 72–77%; Nitrogen Solubility Index 4–16; water absorption values 328–410%. The products were light-colored, granular, and free flowing. The soybean flakes extracted with methanol exhibited the best flavor.

Life in Ohio, a Continuing Series
Our unimpeachably balanced look at everyday life in the Buckeye state.
Ohio woman calls in police officer to carry out a humane euthanization of a litter of kittens. Instead, he carries out a grisly, gangland-style slaying in front of her terrified young children:
Instead, he went to his truck and got a gun, which she thought was a tranquilizer gun, and walked around to the back of the house and approximately 15 feet from her back door shot and killed the 8- to 10-week-old kittens . . .
"She was very distraught when this happened. He started shooting them right in front of her. Her children were upstairs in view of the windows. They started screaming and crying because they heard the gunshots. They started screaming, 'Mommy, he's killing the kittens,' " Landon said.
The officer told them the kittens were "going to kitty heaven." Side note: There is no such place.

Two NFL games on the schedule for the Week 16 (Dec. 22, 2013) have been moved in accordance with the league's flexible scheduling rules.
Chicago at Philadelphia, which was originally scheduled for 1pm ET on FOX, has been moved to the Sunday Night Football slot at 8:30pm ET on NBC.
The Bears and Eagles are both in playoff contention. Chicago is currently in the hunt for a spot, while Philadelphia is a projected 3rd seed if the playoffs started today.
New England at Baltimore was originally scheduled for Sunday Night Football on Dec. 22, but it has been moved to 4:25pm on CBS.
The Patriots haven't officially clinched a playoff spot, but they are 10-3 overall and currently lead the AFC East by three games. Baltimore is 7-6 and is currently projected as the 6th seed.
Back in 2006, the NFL implemented flexible scheduling for Sunday games in Weeks 10-15 and Week 17 to ensure quality match-ups. Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday Night Football, with the night game being moved to the afternoon.
Football Schedules
I will write a strongly worded letter to the NFL to oppose this!
Now Jim Nantz can call yet another Patriots game on CBS…….he strives for 10/year.
And the raven's and patriots aren't in contention?? One of whom is the defending would champions? Give me a break? I hope your numbers tank. Obviously, the NFL it's clueless; they seriously think Philly and Chicago it's a better game and will get better ratings…..wake up!
Prior to, CBS was stuck with Pit/GB (likely w no Rodgers) and Oak/SD in the 4:25 slot, and I don't think they can have just three games in a 1:00 window in a non-bye week (thus no Ind/KC flexing). So it's a help-out to CBS from the NFL. Besides, we're complaining about the Patriots NOT being on Sunday night? Spare me……………………….
Also FOX already has the Saints/Panthers rematch as their #1 1:00 game. You could say flex that but not only was that just on but FOX already went without either Hawk/Niner game in 2012, they're not going to not protect this one.
If any game should have got it should have been Cards/Hawks. Not only a singleheader 4:05 game, but how does NBC not have the team with the NFC's best record (3-1 vs the 2-3-4 teams) on more than once? But it is what it is.
So here's an idea, drop the phony outrage.
New England versus Baltimore is always a great game the Chicago Philly game I give us channel changing excuses
Chicago is hot right now with McCown playing better than Cutler. So change channels if you don't like it.
$&@! u guys Philly all the way! This is guna be way better game than the 7-6 defending champs who aren't even guna make the playoffs!
Since when is 8:30 PM EST on a Sunday "prime-time"? Most folks have to go to work the next day. I never stay up until Midnight to watch any game. I'm in bed by half-time. Bummer.
Go Eagels!!! F$@? Tom Brady and his early bedtime bullsh$@ fans!
I think it's a chance to grab an extra market (Chicago/Midwest) in prime time. I recall reading a long time ago when Chicago was horrendous and "banned" from MNF — they missed the ratings the Chicago audience brought.
as an eagles fan I think its bullshit that I can't enjoy a game and have a couple beers. If its 1:00 then its 1:00 don't fuck us fans
Report: Obscure broadcast contract term drove Week 16 flex decision
Posted by Mike Florio on December 11, 2013, 1:48 PM EST
AFC Championship – Baltimore Ravens v New England Patriots
Getty Images
Tuesday's decision to replace the Week 16 Sunday night game between the Patriots and Ravens with a showdown between the Bears and Eagles surprised many.
And for good reason. The Ravens are chasing the No. 6 seed, the Patriots are chasing the No. 1 seed while trying to hold off the Bengals for the No. 2 seed, and the two teams have met in the last two AFC title games. (That said, Bears-Eagles has significant playoff implications, too.)
So why did the NFL swap the games? According to John Ourand of SportsBusiness Journal, the league made the decision in part to have maximum flexibility for the regular-season finale in Week 17.
The current broadcast contracts (which expire this year) require that the gap between games pilfered from CBS and FOX for Sunday night be no more than three. If Pats-Ravens hadn't been flexed, the gap would have been at three, with CBS losing 25 and FOX losing 22. Without taking a game from FOX for Week 16, only FOX could have lost a game for Week 17. Now, both networks are in play for Week 17.
The goal for the league (and it's always an NFL decision, not an NBC decision) when selecting the prime-time game in Week 17 is to identify a game that has playoff implications unaffected by any of the outcomes in the other 15 games. That becomes easiest when two teams are squaring off for a division title, with the winner securing a playoff spot and the loser earning a trip home.
What moron thinks Philly and Chicago is a better game than Ravens vs. Patriots?? Idiots!

Prevent Mold
In this article
Household molds can trigger allergy symptoms in allergy sufferers. So avoiding mold can help you avoid eye irritation, congestion, and other allergy-related symptoms. And the best way to avoid mold is to avoid moisture.
- Keep the house dry -- don't let water build up anywhere, ventilate damp rooms, wipe shower walls and doors after use.
- Don't leave wet clothes in the washing machine where mold can quickly grow.
- Wash shower curtains and bathroom tiles regularly with mold-killing products.
- Don't have too many indoor plants -- especially in the bedroom -- as mold can grow in plant soil.
- Fix any leaks or seepage in the house, indoors and out.
- Put plastic over dirt in crawlspaces and keep them well ventilated.
- Use exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathrooms.
- Turn off humidifiers if you see condensation on windows.
- Use dehumidifiers and air conditioners in basements and other areas of the house where mold tends to grow, especially in hot humid climates.
- Clean dehumidifiers and humidifiers every week.
- On concrete floors, remove carpet and use area rugs that can be lifted and washed, or install a vapor barrier over the concrete.

When Your Child Is Afraid of the Doctor
Marcela Jones, an English professor in Washington, D.C., says her 3-year-old daughter, Amalia, starts screaming as soon as they step into a doctor's office. Her child's white coat-triggered misery started, Jones says, with her two-year checkup -- Amalia had her routine shots and then went upstairs to another office for a lead blood test.

Gov. McCrory vetoes bill requiring drug testing for welfare
Governor also vetoes immigration measure
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory issued his first two vetoes Thursday. The first blocks a requirement that certain welfare applicants get tested for drugs before receiving benefits. McCrory's other veto was on an immigration-related measure.
McCrory said Thursday he vetoed the bills left from the General Assembly session that ended last month.
The Republican governor says in a statement that parts of the drug testing bill are unfair and fiscally irresponsible. He says similar programs in other states show it would do little to fight drug addiction.
McCrory issued an executive order to address another section of the vetoed bill on criminal background checks for welfare applicants.
The other vetoed measure would have exempted employers from using the E-Verify system for temporary workers of less than nine months, compared to no more than 90 days currently. He says the bill would have made it easier to hire immigrants in the country illegally.
The governor must call lawmakers back to Raleigh by early September for them to consider overriding the vetoes.

A little campy and a whole lot of fun, this bedroom inspires creativity and adventures at every turn.
Chunky pine furniture adds to the camp theme. The color scheme pairs bold red with two tones of outdoorsy green.
The beat-up closet doors got new life with black chalkboard paint and fun red letters spelling out CAMP.
Checks and stripes mix and match easily in the boys' room. Here, a storage bench doubles as a window seat.
Artwork depicting rugged scenery ensures this a room with a mountain view.
Faux pinecones and twig-like branches give this chandelier rugged good looks.
Though this cushy bedding wouldn't be a part of a real camping trip, the mix of textures, patterns and figures adds outdoorsy style. Shots of solid red -- in the sheets, fleece bear pillow and comforter -- tame the patterns.

Their main difference is that compensation for natural disasters relies on solidarity, whereas industrial risks imply the liability of the industrialist.

Each chapter provides some elements of policies assessment and analyzes in particular links between insurance and urbanism policies (Chapter 2), between insurance and collective prevention policies (Chapter 3), between insurance and assistance policies (Chapter 4), between prevention policies and real estate market (Chapter 5). Interaction between national and local public policies is addressed in each chapter.

At the very least, coat a wood deck with a penetrating sealer to fend off rot and decay—or stain it to add color and extra protection. Waterborne stains suit most types of wood, but only oil-based stains can penetrate tropical hardwoods. Stains with more pigment last longer and offer better sun protection than semitransparent or clear ones. Composite boards need a finish that suits the material; seek advice from the manufacturer.

Simple events and demos are happening all January at many locations around the country and will help you discover the great fitness and social benefits of these easy to learn winter sports.
If you already participate, attend one of the Anchor Sites, the larger events, to test different models and brands to help in your buying decision. Find Anchor Sites here.
These events are also great opportunities to bring a friend and introduce them to these activities, creating your next fun partner. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing are always better with family and friends.
If you are new to snowshoing and concerned about how to do it, watch this quick video on how to put on a snowshoe.

|Major junctions

|Plenty Highway (State Route 12), Tobermorey Homestead, Northern Territory (near NT/Qld Border)
|East end

The Donohue Highway is 249 km (155 mi) mostly unpaved outback track that leads through the northern foothills of the Simpson Desert in Queensland to Tobermorey Homestead, Northern Territory near the NT/Qld border.
The road branches off about 8 km north of Boulia on the Diamantina Developmental Road toward the west. The Georgina River is at about the 166 km mark and 83 km further is Tobermorey, a town with 20 inhabitants. From here the trail continues as the Plenty Highway towards Alice Springs.[1] The route is mostly unpaved and marked by corrugations, deep potholes and bulldust (fine red desert dust). However, in 2009 further development in the form of river crossings were initially attached and further parts of the road are paved.[2] Despite the improvements to the track, it is often impassable after heavy rain.[3]
The Donohue Highway along its entire length forms part of the Outback Highway, which runs 2,800 km through central Australia.
