"Pray for more dead soldiers." "Semper fi fags." "Thank God for dead soldiers."
By now, you probably recognize some of those hateful messages from Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church. In 2006, Phelps and his followers displayed those lovely signs and more while picketing the funeral of fallen Marine Matthew Snyder. Yesterday, ruling on the lawsuit against Phelps and his church filed in response, the Supreme Court upheld the church's right to protest in an 8-1 decision.
Last year, after an earlier ruling came down from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on this case, I had quite a few questions from friends about how our courts could allow something so horrible. This was my response, modified quite a bit to reflect the Supremes ruling yesterday.
The Question:
On Facebook, my MilFam friend Carrie asked a question about the Phelps case:
Now maybe you know but does the constitution protect people's right to protest ANYWHERE they want, or just their right to protest?
Fred Phelps is that fabulous guy from the Westboro Baptist Church who claims to be a "Christian" and travels the country with Hallmark Hall of Fame placards with such lovely quotes as "God Hates Fags," "You're Going to Hell," "Thank God for Dead Soldiers," and my personal favorite, "Semper fi fags." Classy guy, I know.
Mr. Phelps and his misguided followers decided to protest, along with their lovely signs, at the funeral of Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder, who was killed in action in Iraq in 2006. His family was understandably displeased. Al Snyder, Matthew's father, sued Westboro Baptist Church, Mr. Phelps and several members of his family/church (the "Defendants") in federal court in Maryland. He argued that the members of the Westboro church invaded his privacy and caused intentional infliction of emotional distress. Mr. Snyder won almost $11 million at trial. (This was later reduced to $5 million by the district court.)
Phelps appealed and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the trial court in September of 2009. No, Phelps was not represented by the ACLU, but they did file an amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of Phelps, et al.
The Supreme Court, in a ruling issued yesterday, affirmed the Fourth Circuit, holding that the First Amendment shields the Westboro Chuch and Fred Phelps from tort liability.
The Fourth Circuit summed up the two sides quite nicely in their opinion:
Defendants' rationale was quite simple. They traveled to Matthew Snyder's funeral in order to publicize their message of God's hatred of America for its tolerance of homosexuality. In Plaintiff's eyes, Defendants turned the funeral for his son into a "media circus for their benefit."
The Defendants complied with local ordinances and police directions regarding staying a certain distance from the church. Mr. Snyder did not see the signs until he later saw a news broadcast with footage of the Phelps family at the Church.
Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech.
Let's start with something we should all recognize from the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment to the Constitution. It states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
(The First Amendment also applies at the state and local level through the Fourteenth Amendment, in case you were wondering.)
Not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. It's a balancing act. Speech that causes physical harm isn't OK. You also won't be protected by the First Amendment if you decide to say something about an individual that is factually wrong. (You can't erect a sign in front of your house that says your neighbor is a pedophile unless he actually is.) However, just because speech is hateful or offensive does not mean that it can be suppressed. The government can place reasonable "time, place and manner" restrictions on speech but the restrictions have to be narrowly tailored and balance the interests, and rights, of everyone involved.
Here, Mr. Snyder's tort awards could only be upheld if the award was consistent with the Defendants' First Amendment guarantees. Speech, even if hateful and offensive, can still be protected speech if it isn't physically harmful or disruptive and it doesn't involve false statements about an individual.
(This is a gross oversimplification of the law here, but I'm trying to spare you the minutiae of the law regarding general speech versus speech clearly directed at an individual. Let's just say there was some debate over whether the signs carried by the Westboro Church and Phelps were public or private speech and whether they were general statements of opinion, such as "God hates America," or specific factual statements aimed at the Phelps family such as "You're going to hell.")
The Fourth Circuit and the Supreme Court held that the church's speech was protected by the First Amendment. They just got to that decision for slightly different reasons.
The Fourth Circuit ruled in Westboro's favor because the signs the church members carried were obviously not provable facts about an individual, rather they "clearly contain[ed] imaginative and hyperbolic rhetoric intended to spark debate about issues with which the Defendants [were] concerned." In other words, because Westboro's signs weren't like the front yard sign about your neighbor's pedophilia, something that can be proved or disproved, they were considered "hyperbolic rhetoric" protected by the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court got a little more down and dirty, holding that the picketing was entitled to First Amendment protection because the signs, while deplorable, contained messages about broad issues of public concern. The Court noted,
"While these messages may fall short of refined social or political commentary, the issues they highlight -- the political and moral conduct of the United States and its citizens, the fate of our Nation, homosexuality in the military, and scandals involving the Catholic clergy -- are matters of public import."
The signs were also displayed on public land, next to a public street (an area of special First Amendment protection), well away from the funeral itself, and there was no indication that the signs were directed at the Snyder family. Rather, Phelps and his unholy band of merry men and women had been displaying similar signs at public events and locations for years.
Even speech protected by the First Amendment isn't allowed everywhere. The state can place reasonable "time, place and manner" restrictions on speech. But in this case, Maryland didn't have a law against picketing funerals at the time. (Although it does now.) Westboro alerted the authorities ahead of time and fully complied with police instructions while picketing. They did not attempt to disrupt the funeral.
The Supremes noted that if a similar group had been in the same location at the same time, holding signs that read "God Bless America" or "God Loves You," there would have been no objections. The objection was simply to the message Westboro's signs conveyed. Because Westboro's speech was at a public place on a matter of public concern, the speech is entitled to special protection under the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court closed with this:
Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and -- as it did here -- inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker. As a Nation we have chosen a different course -- to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate.
The First Amendment may protect some pretty nasty people and some horribly hateful words, but we have to hold our noses and uphold the Bill of Rights.
My Two Cents
What about Carrie's question? Does the Constitution allow people to protest wherever they want?
The answer is no, it doesn't. Remember, the government can place "reasonable time, place and manner" restrictions on speech. Many states have passed laws regarding protests at funerals and Congress has placed some restrictions on protests at funerals on federal property.
In fact, Maryland, where Matthew Snyder's funeral was held, has a restriction on protests at funerals in place now. The Maryland law provides one of the most generous buffer zones in the country, requiring that protesters stay 1000 feet away from a funeral. The Maryland law wasn't in place when the Westboro church protested Matthew Snyder's funeral, but Phelps and his followers were complying with the local ordinances and state police when they protested at Matthew Snyder's funeral.
So, as hateful as Mr. Phelps and the members of the Westboro Baptist Church are, they do have the right to peaceably assemble and spread their message of hate. Like the skinheads and the KKK before them, Phelps is engaging in an activity protected by the First Amendment.
We don't have to like it. In fact, I must add that I wouldn't be at all disappointed if Mr. Phelps was struck by a meteor falling from the sky. Or if he encountered 3 huge Marines in a dark alley while holding his "Semper fi fags" sign. But the Bill of Rights that allows me to stand outside my Congressman's office with a sign telling him what I think about health care reform, also applies to people like Fred Phelps in public locations.
We can only hope Phelps understands the significance of the Constitutional protections he invokes to promote his hateful speech; the Constitution that Lance Corporal Snyder and his comrades in arms have sworn to protect and defend with their lives.
If there is a God, Mr. Phelps, she is watching you.

I've broken the "rules" with both my sons' names! I decided the meaning and family history were more significant factors than rules. However, it is still important that the first and last names have a good flow and do not clash.

The Enid, OK location is very knowledgeable about food separation. If you have questions they will answer. I have Celiac Disease and eat there worry free. Would recommend this to anyone in the Enid area looking for a SAFE gluten free meal. Recommend the grilled nuggets and fries or a market salad with G/F dressing such as ranch. Salads and Fruit cups are always fresh and delicious. THANK YOU to the staff for keeping the gluten separated!
3995 Nw 107th Ave, Doral, FL 33178
It's a chic fila that is served with a smile and no poison. No issue the handful of times I've eaten here. It shares a parking lot with Amaize.
70 Golden Isles Plz, Brunswick, GA 31520
I ask the girl behind the counter what gluten free options they had She said all she knows is the gluten free bun, she ask the girl next to her what options and she also said the bun.. So needless to say I just walked out
4228 Belden Village Mall, Canton, OH 44718
They have gf buns for a $1.50 extra
204 Christiana Mall, Newark, DE 19702
The new GF buns are amazing and individually wrapped. Plus they fry their waffle fries in a separate fryer so it's celiac safe.
7681 Carson Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90808
Finally tried the gluten free bun. Not bad at all. It actually tastes good and it comes in its own package so its not contaminated. Definitely gonna have it again!
6203 N Illinois St, Fairview Heights, IL 62208
I am dropping my rating from a 5 to a 3. They do have an allergen list at the register and a button to designate "gluten allergy." However, despite these measures, I have received fried nuggets twice. Both times were drive thru orders. Be very cautious if you choose to eat here.
Dedicated fryer for waffle fries! Their grilled chicken is delicious. They have gluten free buns.
58 Centerton Rd, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054
Their gluten free bun is awesome, sometimes dry. But overall very good!!
2425 Prince William Pkwy, Woodbridge, VA 22192
Was told fries are not gluten free :-(
105 E Trinity Pl, Decatur, GA 30030
I ordered grilled chicken with a GF bun. I got the breaded chicken and a GF bun. I had a bun for dinner. Horrible.
2445 Wesley Chapel Rd, Decatur, GA 30035
I ordered Grilled chicken with GF bun. I paid for a GF bun. The guy that handed to me said it is a GF bun. The bun was out of the package and made up with the sandwich. It is supposed to be served in the bag. But on closer inspection it wasn't even a gluten free bun!! It was a regular bun. Shame on them.
633 N Alafaya Trl, Orlando, FL 32828
I was very sad when I thought I couldn't have Chick-fil-a anymore when I was diagnosed with Celiac. Everything here that I would get was fried but then I did some research and it turns out that there are tons of GF options and now I love to go there all the time.
11820 Fountains Way, Maple Grove, Minnesota 55369
Love it here! Everyone takes it serious and is educated. We eat here often and have never been sick
1201 North Hill Field Road, Layton, UT 84041
Though they were nice and told me which items were GF, I should have asked about cross contamination. so many reviews here said it was safe, but I am so sick now, a day later, that I will not return
2801 Wade Hampton Blvd Ste C, Taylors, SC 29687
like most chick file, they are not super knowledgeable, but fries are in separate fryer and easy to find what you need.
6501 Grape Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545
Staff was knowledgeable about GF. They have GF buns and grilled chicken that's very tasty. Not to mention waffle fries are GF!! That alone is worth the trip. Grilled nuggets are good too.
1008 S 4th St, Gadsden, AL 35901
Eaten here several times and have eaten grilled chicken and waffle fries
5180 Windward Pkwy, Alpharetta, GA 30004
The staff was super friendly and they offer grilled chicken for the new breakfast scramble bowl.
6001 W Waco Dr Ste 102, Waco, TX 76710
Love the waffle fries I order them without added salt they use a dedicated fryer and the grilled chicken nuggets are great avoid the grilled chicken patty it's not as good as the nuggets. They offer a gluten free bun now don't get its crumbly and inedible.
1100 E Pulaski Hwy, Elkton, MD 21921
Chick fil a now offers a gluten free bun that is served in a sealed plastic bag. its pretty good but there is an upcharge of $1.15. Overall decent for a quick meal.
210 Grand Central Avenue, Vienna, WV 26105
Tried the new gluten free bun. It was packaged so never touched. The grilled chicken was delicious and handled with care to avoid cross contamination. You put the sandwich together yourself. Fries, too!
750 Oakvale Rd, Princeton, WV 24740
Allergen/GF menu & information available online. I think this location offers a gluten free bun. I got sick about 4-5 hours after I ate, but I think this is because I drank their lemonade, which contains a ton of sugar.
4881 Us Highway 9, Howell, NJ 07731
BUMMER! They changed the grilled chicken recipe. So you can have the new GF bun with Lettuce tomatoes cheese and bacon (if you can eat that) Disappointed!
3805 E 42nd St, Odessa, TX 79762
Designated fryers for their fries, Grilled nuggets, and GLUTEN FREE BUNS!!
1024 Johnnie Dodds Blvd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464
Yes the grilled nuggets are gluten free but they are filled with chemicals (preservatives like sodium benzoate ). I got a MASSIVE migraine after eating these. Looks like I can only have fries. 😒
10770 Parallel Pkwy, Kansas City, KS 66109
I have eaten at this location a half dozen times. However, I had a bad reaction after my most recent visit. I had a grilled chicken salad. I notified the staff of my allergy. Half way though my salad, I found two pieces of fried chicken in my bowl. I was sick all afternoon. Next time will limit to fries and vanilla shake.
11494 District Dr, South Jordan, UT 84095
Love chick fil a. I always get grilled nuggets and fries and specify I have a gluten allergy. Make sure you check which sauces are okay but I love chick fil a and Polynesian sauce. I also probably wouldn't feel safe getting shakes unless I was the first person to get one since they have cookies and cream ones. Not sure how I react to cross contamination so I gave a 4 instead of a 5
I've been here several times and always get the grilled market salad (without blue cheese. I haven't had any reaction (yet) but I only gave 4 stars because when you say you have an allergy they have no clue what that means to them in turns of protecting the costumer. BUT, they are still super nice!
13600 Baltimore Ave Ste 600, Laurel, MD 20707
They now have gluten-free buns nationwide! Great food; great service; solid GF choices. Their grilled chicken items (sans buns) and most salads are GF, as are most of their salad dressings and condiments. They also publish the ingredients of their GF items in their Website. They do not have a separate GF prep area, but their procedures are designed to prevent cross-contamination. Try the Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken and Lime Avocado Ranch. Also VERY kid-friendly!
7020 Us Highway 19 N, Pinellas Park, FL 33781
Ill like flys that bizzzzzzz And your chicken nuggets
3096 Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Clarksville, TN 37040
Not sure what the person is talking about on the other review about marinade. I've eaten grilled chicken at Chick-fil-As across the country as they serve it and I've never gotten sick from it ever. The bun isn't the worst I've ever had. It's a new thing they're offering and I'm really glad they have it. I was tired of just getting nuggets all the time. Fries are made in a dedicated frier and I feel like I can just walk in and order food like a normal human being. Something I can't do at most places.
3500 N Us Highway 75, Sherman, TX 75090
Eat here way to much. Sherman store is great. Very clean very helpful place.
1626 Richmond Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22911
Chil fil a is consistently outstanding. Manager in training took our order, very knowledgeable about celiac, cross contamination and what was okay, pleasant, store immaculate. Everything but fried chicken gluten free. Have gf buns and gf fries. Chik fil a is a standby for two our kids with celiac.
5330 Clark Rd, Sarasota, FL 34233
Love it!! Wish they would come up a gf breaded nugget or tender.. but this place still rocks!!
8201 S Tamiami Trl, Sarasota, FL 34238
Never gotten sick!! Been eating here for years!! Love this place!!!
17 Powell Dr, Richmond, KY 40475
Several Gluten free options including buns.
1404 N Parham Rd # Fc-101, Richmond, VA 23229
They now have GF buns in all locations!
1369 Ga Highway 40 E, Kingsland, GA 31548
Have had the gluten free bun / grilled chicken meal a few times here and have had great experiences. Everyone is very nice and listens when you say it's for an allergy. You prepare the sandwich yourself, gluten free bun is in a sealed bag. The bun itself isn't *the best* and it's a little dry, but it does the job. I'm very happy to have the meal option!!
14020 Lunar Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32218
Went for lunch. Very friendly. Now gluten free buns. YEA!! Chic filet is my go to place. Thank you for caring.
3405 Candlers Mountain Rd Ste Fc6, Lynchburg, VA 24502
This location has always made me sick. Even after explaining that I had celiac and to prevent cross contamination, there were fried chicken pieces in my fries. After contacting the manager, he just kept stating that his staff are trained, but also stated he didn't fully understand celiac. I've tried expressing my concerns and finally gave up ever eating here, unfortunately. I definitely do not recommend for the gluten intolerant and especially for those with celiac.
3096 Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Clarksville, TN 37040
The GF bun is really dry. Ask for no marinade for truly GF and get lots of sauce. Most if not all are GF. Their grill nuggets without marinade. Although, their fries and hash browns are cooked in an individual fryer
47 Flight Memorial Pkwy, Fairlawn, OH 44333
My daughter has celiac. I asked the director on duty that day if they could accommodate her, and he stated that their fries are all cooked separately in canola oil, without gluten contamination! What a pleasant surprise! And their grilled chicken is also gluten free. He made sure that the kitchen staff knew our food was for somebody with celiac disease. So thankful to find a fast food place that can accommodate celiac diets!
2516 Gulf To Bay Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33765
Fries are gluten free but still not celiac friendly.
690 Highway 17 N, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
I tried both the new Gf chicken sandwich and the grilled nuggets. Both were great. We don't have a Chic Filet where I live so this was a real treat for me!!!
2005 Old Fort Pkwy, Murfreesboro, TN 37129
I react to even the smallest bit of cc and I have never been sick here. I get the grilled nuggets and fries. I've gotten the grilled chicken sandwich with the new gf bun a few times too. Just tell them it's an allergy (they understand what that means more than celiac) and they will flag the order and change gloves. You can also have them bag it separately if you're ordering with other people. Never had an issue at this location and I've been probably 50 times this year. It's the only place I eat out!
403 N 13th St, Richmond, VA 23298
Not really an option if you have celiac
3050 E Semoran Blvd, Apopka, FL 32703
It's difficult to find gluten-free bread that's as wonderful as wheat bread. The bun here is ok ... it's a little dry but condiments help. 🙂
8020 Research Forest Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77382
Nope. Wouldn't even say their salads could be made GF (on line state GF) in the store very non committal, even though they now have a GF bun. I watched my family eat.
2525 S Georgia St, Amarillo, TX 79109
They have gluten free rolls! I think most Chick Fil A locations do now - but it's not advertised much. The best fast food option for those with Celiac Disease. I've never had a reaction.
160 North Gulph Road #1017, King of Prussia, PA 19406

JOHANNESBURG (Apr. 28)
Six heavily armed terrorists who seized the Israeli Consulate General here earlier today continued late this evening to hold nine hostages including women and children, reportedly wired with hand grenades, in the sixth floor Consular offices. South African police and combat troops surrounded the building.
The terrorists, tentatively identified as three Lebanese and three Japanese, opened fire with automatic weapons from the Consular windows at 1:14 p.m. local time killing two people and wounding at least 32 others as panic-stricken lunch time crowds scattered for cover. At least one of the hostages was reportedly injured.
The terrorists demands were not immediately known although they apparently involved the presence of Israel's Ambassador to South Africa, Yitzhak Unna. South African Prime Minister John Vorster declared in a nationwide broadcast tonight that he would not negotiate with the terrorists under any circumstances.
Unna, who was in Cape Town this morning, flew to Johannesburg–a two-hour flight–on instructions from Jerusalem and was reportedly on the scene this evening. The terrorists reportedly threatened to blow up the building unless they were allowed to talk with the Israeli Ambassador.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned from reliable sources that the hostages probably include Consul Shlomo Hover and his 14-year-old son; Vice-Consul Shemir Zur and his wife; a Mrs. Y. Chelouche and possibly her son; Gad Dror of El. A1; Giora Raviv, a security officer; David Potter, who was reportedly wounded; and an African messenger identified as Edward. The Israeli Consul General, Arieh Bustan, was not in the building when his offices were seized. Earlier reports identified the hostages only as four white women, three white men and two Black men.
According to a late report, three local Japanese were escorted through the police cordon to serve as interpreters for the terrorists. But, according to an earlier report, the gunmen made their demands in Hebrew which were relayed to police through a window by two men, apparently hostages, who wore skull caps. The use of Hebrew was an indication that the terrorists may be Palestinians although they could also be Hebrew-speaking Lebanese.
A police source said it was not certain whether they were foreigners or members of Johannesburg's fairly large Lebanese community. The JTA learned that about two months ago terrorists carrying Lebanese passports managed to infiltrate the country but their trail was "lost" by security authorities.
Israel's Military Attache in Pretoria flew to Johannesburg today and he and Unna reportedly were in constant contact with Jerusalem where Premier Yitzhak Rabin summoned an emergency meeting of his Cabinet and later spent the day conferring with Defense Minister Shimon Peres
The raid on the Consulate was the first of its kind in South Africa's history. It remained a mystery tonight how the gunmen got into the building a modest grey-brown six-story structure housing offices, a furniture store and a travel agency, and how they managed to enter the strongly guarded Consular premises.
Armed guards are stationed on the floor outside the offices and others are in the passage. All visitors must pass across an electronic eye device that scans them for metal. Would-be visitors must pass through three bullet-proof security chambers before they can enter the office area.
According to an unconfirmed report, the terrorists entered the building over the weekend while it was closed and began to seize hostages this morning as employes reported for work. If that was the case, however, there was no explanation why they began shooting from the windows at midday.
One unconfirmed report said the terrorists threatened to shoot the hostages at 15-minute intervals unless their demands were met but the nature of the demands were not immediately known . At one point, a woman in a brown shirt, speaking Hebrew, relayed demands from a window for medical supplies, food and water to be sent up by a rope.
A call was also made for a doctor, An army doctor who approached the building was ordered strip to his underclothes to ensure that he was not carrying any weapons. The doctor was not admitted to the building. Meanwhile, police cleared 30,000 persons from the Rand Show, an annual commercial and trade fair in Johannesburg where, according to an unconfirmed report, the terrorists had planted explosives.
Almost nine hours after their attack began, the terrorists demanded a helicopter capable of carrying 20 persons, according to police sources here. They were told that a helicopter of that size was not available, the sources said.
Meanwhile, steel-helmeted troop reinforcements were rushed to the area and an emergency hospital was set up in Carlton Center near the Consulate building in apparent preparation for an assault late tonight. Crowds thronged the area despite broadcasts urging them to stay away. A difficulty in mounting an assault to free the hostages was that the electronically controlled doors at the Consulate had jammed during the day. South African papers, reporting the day's drama, carried the biggest headlines since World War II events. The population solidly support Vorster's adamant stand of not negotiating with the terrorists.
Following the terrorist attack on the Consulate. Jewish and Israeli institutions in Johannesburg and other South African cities were given special protection. The E1 A1 offices near the Consulate building were placed under heavy guard, Local Jews kept watch over synagogues and Hebrew schools. Jewish community leaders gathered in the offices of the Zionist Federation and then went as near to the besieged Consulate as police would permit to find out what was happening. But police gave out no information or details.

U.S. Threatens Sanctions on Chinese Banks over Iran
A top U.S. Treasury official said Wednesday that Washington could impose sanctions on China's biggest banks if they are caught doing business with an Iranian insurance company on the U.S. blacklist, AFP reported.
David Cohen, undersecretary of Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, is in China to discuss U.S. sanctions on Iran, and he met with representatives of Bank of China Ltd., China Construction Bank Corp., Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. and the Agricultural Bank of China.
He told them, according to the AFP report, that they would be cut off from the U.S. financial system if they accepted payments from Moallem, an Iranian insurance firm, under a 2010 law that granted the Obama administration the power to hoist harsher sanctions on Tehran.
"Any foreign bank that receives payment from Moallem on behalf of a client, risks losing its ability to do business in the United States," Cohen said, according to the AFP report.

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:18:45 GMT —
Six people were arrested Thursday afternoon while protesting at Hancock Air Field.
A total of 15 people gathered at the air base around 11 a.m. to protest the use of unmanned drones from the air base. They were were blocking inbound and outbound traffic lanes, according to State Police.
At 12:15 p.m., State Police and Dewitt Police told the protesters that they were trespassing and would be arrested if they did not leave.
"This isn't just an idealistic exercise," said Ed Kinane, "these drones that assassinate people in various countries overseas create enormous hostility toward the U.S. because of civilian deaths."
Around 1:40 p.m., all 15 were arrested by State Police, DeWitt Police, and the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
The following were arrested by State Police for trespass and were given appearance tickets to show up at the Town of DeWitt Court at a later date:
-Elliott D. Adams, 65, of Sharon Springs
-Daniel E. Burgevin Sr., 65, of Trumansburg
-Judith A. Homanich, 63, of Binghamton
The following were arrested by the State Police for Trespass and released to the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office with active warrants:
-Edward F. Kinane, 67, of Syracuse
-Mark Scibilia-Carver, 59, of Trumansburg
-Mary A. Snyder, 88, of Johnson City
More than 30 people were arrested in April 2011 for protesting drone use at the air base.

Last night, Cenk Uygur officially bid adieu to Current. After two years in Culver City, the broadcast side of The Young Turks went dark to make way for next Tuesday's official launch of Al Jazeera America.
Although "conflicted," Uygur also admitted that a large part of him is relieved to no longer have to bear the burden of hosting two daily news shows. For the past three years, first on MSNBC and then via YouTube with Ana Kasparian, he has been doing double duty. As of today, he only has to worry about the online edition.
Uygur hinted that the TYT crew is working on a various new deals – "some online, some on TV, some in ways that you couldn't possibly imagine today." The program was the first YouTube news series to cross the vaunted one billion views mark. Stay tuned.

AN appeal case at the Supreme Court challenging the payment of bride price as a condition precedent to a marriage, has flopped.
The court sitting on Tuesday with a panel of seven justices, was prompted to defer the matter to its "next convenient session", on the premise that the Attorney General's co-respondent Kenneth Kakuru, had not been notified of the court session. Kakuru, hitherto a lawyer, is now a Justice of the Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court.
The appeal is on the prompting of the March 26, 2010 Constitutional Court decision, that upheld payment of bride price.
The Constitutional Court ruled that the activists failed to adduce scientific evidence to prove the connection between bride price and domestic violence.
The activists under lobby group Mifumi, were represented by human rights lawyer Ladislaus Rwakafuuzi. Principal state attorney Patricia Mutesi represented the Attorney General.
Mifumi contends that the bride price abolition would protect women from being turned into property.
It is demanding a Supreme Court pronouncement that bride price does not promote inequality in marriage.
But the respondents insist that the term 'bride price' differs in context among various cultures of Uganda.

I don't know what the best tactic is to stop Bristol winning this, or if I even care if she does (who am I kidding? ) but I hope Brandy and Maks fans will still decide to vote and will throw their support behind either Jennifer or Kyle.
Bristol's rather hi-jakced Kyle's story arc, imo. He's the one whose made great progress this season and has blossomed into a really good performer.
He nails routines Bristol wouldn't be able to do if she kept up her training for the next couple of years, plus he's wildly entertaining to watch, imo.

The Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800, S. 1041), or EFCA, also known as the "Card Check" Bill, is expected to be a top legislative issue during the 111th Congress. The proposal would replace the current process for an individual deciding on whether or not to join a union from using a private ballot to simply signing a card. Once a majority of workers sign cards, a union would be authorized to organize. In addition, in a departure from traditional private sector contract law, EFCA would authorize a government arbitrator to impose a two-year contract on employers and employees even if neither party consents to the contract terms.
NAREIT supports the efforts of the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW), a coalition of workers, employers, association and organizations, who are working to protect the right to a federally supervised private ballot during union organization campaigns, and preserve the sanctity of agreements reached during good faith negotiations under the current collective bargaining laws without the imposition of mandatory binding arbitration.
For more information on the Coalition's efforts, visit the CDW website.

London (Sep. 11)
A warning that epidemics may break out in the Poppendorf camp where most of the Exodus refugees are concentrated unless the Jews are removed in three weeks was sounded here today by Dr. Noah Barou, secretary of the World Jewish Congress.
Speaking to a press conference following his return from Germany where he witnessed the forcible disembarkation of the Jews from their prison ships and later visited the camp where they are interned, Dr. Barou declared that the centers were ?unfit for human habitation and that local authorities had told him that epidemics were likely if the Jews were forced to remain there for long.
He charged Britain with having violated international agreements by carrying out the landings without the assistance of the International Refugee Organization.

Torchlight II
Review by llaW_Enots
"Torchlight 2 is polished like a 2013 Dodge Vyper"
The masters behind the Diablo series felt 120 people working on an ARPG was too much, so they departed to make other games like Torchlight 2.
What they've created is a super polished, fast Action Role Playing Game. If you remember your first time playing Diablo 2 or the LoD expansion, then get ready to feel good about spending only $20.
Sound: I mention the sound first, because it is on point. You hear every action you perform. This world feels anything but a linear grindfest that is currently being produced by other companies. Matt Uelmen brings his awesome musical talents to Torchlight 2. This guy was the one at Blizzard who made music for Starcraft and Diablo. The music in Torchlight 2 ranges from creepy, wet dungeon tracks to acoustic guitar to full orchestras. No other American RPG ever made can touch this soundtrack.
Story: Honestly, during my first playthrough, I haven't read the story. I always run to complete a game, then replay it for the story. But who really plays an RPG for the story? You're always just participating in the grind for better items so you can kill more stuff to grind more items. I know there is a beginning cut scene that is nice.
Gameplay: If you watch someone play Torchlight 2, it really feels like a faster, updated Diablo 2. This combat is fast and addicting. It doesn't feel like you are trying to do math equations for success at a build. Opening doors, chests, picking up items: is all very responsive. I've had no problems connecting to online games, except for on the release date. Also the game creators aren't going to play God and patch all the fun out of character builds. You paid for the game and the creators are letting you go mod crazy. Allowing mods will give new gameplay styles and increase the popularity of this sequel. There are a ton of boss fights. It feels rewarding to fight more than 8 bosses.
Graphics: The graphics are super polished. The mixture of weather effects such as wind, lighting, fog, and rain are nice. These effects even happen while in town. While running through dungeons, there are tons of colors for damage, enemies exploding, loot dropping, and skills. The game's color palette is very vibrant and alive. You won't find murky grays and browns in this game. This game really lights up. I guess you could compare the colors to Halo 3.
I've followed the Runic Games forum for about the last year of development. Everything the creators have promised us is here. They talked to fans openly about the game and were very human in their responses. That human quality really shows in this sequel. I'm planning on running through the game with all the characters. This is $20 well spent.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Photos of Kate Hudson out in NYC With Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
Kate Dines With Goldie and Kurt, Sits Down With Larry
Kate Hudson grabbed dinner with her parents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell in NYC last night after her latest Nine press event. She's been on the East Coast for about a week after her promotional tour took her abroad, but the action will be in the Big Apple tonight for the latest screening of the Golden Globe nominated film. Kate's personal life is taking center stage as rumors circulate that she and Alex Rodriguez are no longer a sexy couple, possibly because her demands to be on camera ultimately turned him off. Any heartache isn't slowing her down — she and her many costars are set to sit down with Larry King this evening before the red carpet.

Mexico shows resilience to pressures on global emerging markets, Mexican finance minister Luis Videgaray says
Volatility generated by the end of fiscal stimulus in the US
will be a major test for emerging economies, but Mexico was
doing better than most, the country's finance minister Luis
Videgaray told a LatinFinance event on Thursday.
"That will be the great challenge for EM countries, how we
face that volatility," he said.
The Mexican peso had fallen less than other emerging market
currencies, and the country's credit default swaps remained at
similar level to early 2013, he said.
"International markets are recognizing that the Mexican
economy is stronger than others. That has a lot to do with the
fact that we have better fundamentals."
Mexico is on track to grow nearly 4% this year, he said. The
structural reforms pushed through by the government of Enrique
Peña Nieto would spur growth in the medium term, putting
the country in a sweet spot in the eyes of capital investors,
Videgaray said.
In the opening speech of LatinFinance's summit on
Mexican debt capital markets in Mexico City, Videgaray said one
of the factors that would underpin growth this year was the
economic recovery in the United States, which led the US
Federal Reserve to announce the gradual end of its quantitative
easing program last year.
"For Mexico that was good news, after all, because it means
that the economy of the US, a country to which we are strongly
linked was starting to grow," Videgaray said.
About 80% of Mexico's exports are to the US, and stronger
growth in the neighboring country would lift Mexico's
prospects, said Videgaray. Foreign investors are excited about
medium-term growth in the Mexican economy on the back of the
structural reforms.
Even though Mexican policymakers said the country would need
huge amounts of capital in the next few years to bring economic
growth to 5% to 6%, Videgaray said the Mexican sovereign would
need very little financing for the rest of 2014 compared to
other EM economies.
Mexico last sold foreign bonds in January, issuing $4
billion in a transaction it combined with a liability
management exercise. LF

You'll also get to see how the new Creation Engine looks and hear a longer version of the Skyrim main theme. Oh, and dragons.
