Jarrow Formulas Vision Optimizer® -- 180 Capsules
Jarrow is always a Winner

Experience with this store? "original Samsung OEM 512GB SSD"
Hi there, I've got a 2012 MBA with its 256GB getting full with more and more lossless audio, and I just found this site that claims they sell original Samsung OEM SSD drives:
http://www.yourmacstore.com/samsung-...book-air-2012/ Has anyone ever bought anything from those guys and if yes are they reliable? This seems a bit too interesting to be true: after calculations, if I then sell my 256GB SSD for like 300€, the 512GB MBA with have cost me 100€ LESS than if I had bought it from Apple, and I'll have an original OEM SSD (if there is no scam) saving me from the hassle some people seem to have with the OWC option. It even comes with an installation kit. Thoughts? |

Don't buy these phones (roundup)
by Lynn La, Jessica Dolcourt
March 9, 2012
It's no easy task birthing a cell phone, but despite the hard work that goes into designing and manufacturing these handsets, things can go (very) awry. If you've been thinking about picking up one of the following phones the next time you head out of the house, well, you might want to reconsider.
Editors' note: This post was originally published March 9, 2012, and is updated frequently.
Huawei Pal (MetroPCS), August 2013
We're all about simple feature phones, don't get us wrong -- not everyone needs the latest and greatest in tech. But the Pal, whose only basic feature is making a call, can't even do that properly. Even though MetroPCS is offering it for free, we still won't take it. Read the full review.
Samsung Galaxy Ring (Virgin Mobile), May 2013
Sporting a poor camera, a lousy screen, and no 4G LTE, the Galaxy Ring makes us want to do anything but put a ring on it. Even if it has good call quality, we just can't commit. Read the full review.
Alcatel One Touch Evolve (T-Mobile), October 2013
Oh, if only this device could evolve to something better. Slow internal speeds, a low-resolution screen that's also too dim, and glacial data speeds all contribute to making this handset the bottom of the food chain. Read the full review.
ZTE Open (unlocked), September 2013
Though stylish, the world's first Firefox phone isn't quite a big winner. True, it's only $80, but its processor barely trudges along, its shoddy 3.2-megapixel camera only has a fixed focus, and call quality was unimpressive. In short, feel free to close your doors on the Open. Read the full review.
ZTE Reef (Virgin Mobile), August 2013
Ho-hum specs across the board, including 3G-only speeds, make this slow, outdated smartphone a bore. Its one saving grace: it won't cost you a dime if you buy it online, though the full $150 price tag (unlocked) may be harder to swallow for what you get. Read the full review.
Compare these phones head-to-head.

An avid student of photography for most of my life, I carry my camera bag with me both on international trips and for everyday activities. In my work, I am always looking to capture those beautiful and intriguing moments that surround us all the time, but which we so often tend to overlook in the face of everyday temporal pressures. These may be the shape of a leaf or a snail shell, the placement of chairs in a cafe, the unexpected texture of a rock or tree, or the varied colors of a shop or a wharf. Other than obvious still life shots, my photographs are never staged, nor do I normally manipulate them after they've been shot. You will probably find that most of my photographs are contemplative, thought-provoking, and influenced by the aesthetics of nature and meditation.
For the last quarter-century, I have used Nikon equipment.

Homeownership declines in all but elderly in last 20 years, real estate auctions & customer service hell
Conforming mortgage limits are dropping at the beginning of October from $729,750 to $625,500, meaning that buyers looking for homes priced over that amount will have to seek out and qualify for a jumbo mortgage – generally at a higher interest rate and with a large downpayment. For most of the country, it is not that big of a deal. Buyers looking for million dollar homes generally have some financial flexibility. But in New York City, the change in conforming loan limits impacts a much broader swatch of the market. The New York Times has the details.
The blog Calculated Risk takes Census data to show some remarkable declines in homeownership over the last 20 years by all but the elderly. They attribute it to various factors including younger people waiting longer to marry, mobility issues, etc.
Jakob Nielson is the go to guy for user-interface/intuitive product design advice. His latest column talks in part about how the rise of mobile and portable devices doesn't mean the end of the desktop PC. One invention rarely completely replaces another. Because of this, companies will need to design for multiple screen types – mobile, PC, TV and maybe more based on their product. What works on one, may not work on another. How is your MLS system responding? Is it keeping up with various formats and designs or is it trying a one-size-fits-all approach?
Real estate auctions, long used in the sale of foreclosed properties, are becoming more popular among wealthy homeowners to drum up interest for mansions that have languished on the market after the housing crash.

An early morning bus ride to Dallas ends in a crash West of the valley when officers say a man attacked a Greyhound bus driver along I-10 and took control of the bus. Everyone onboard survived and tonight that man is in custody.
"We was jumping and flying... the girl that was sitting next to me was all the way to the floor" said Susana Ordinola.
Susana described to us the last leg of her ride from Los Angeles to Phoenix as horrifying. An unruly passenger, 25 year-old Maquel Morris, attacked the bus driver forcing him to lose control.
"I don't know for some reason before we get to Phoenix he come from no where and he run to the driver and he screamed everybody gonna die now... started pulling the wheel hitting the driver" said Ordinola.
Exhausted by the ordeal passengers wrapped themselves in blue blankets and slept on the station floor as they waited for the next bus out of town. Other victims who live in the valley came by the bus station to pick up belongings left behind when the bus crashed, choosing not to share their face but sharing the terror of what happened. "It was chaotic", "people were literally airborne, people were on the floor, there were babies on board it was pretty tragic".
Before the relief busses arrived this is also where family showed up hopeful for any information that would lead them to their loved ones.
"I just barely found out a few minutes ago that he is in the hospital, he couldn't talk much because of the reception in the hospital" said Angelique Urrituia.
Angelique Urritia waited for hours after talking to her dad moments after the crash, the 63-year received minor injuries.
"We thought that we gonna roll over and so everybody was screaming like crazy" said Ordinola.
Ordinola who suffered a bruised rib and hurt her knee says she is just grateful to be alive and by late morning she was ready to be arrive home in San Bernardino.
Fox 10 has learned the man accused of trying to overtake that bus has an arrest record out of Mississippi. Authorities say he was headed home to the Memphis area.

Relaxation is who you are. ~Chinese Proverb Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. ~J. Lubbock I try to avoid stress — it makes me feel like I'm rubber-stamping all my organs "Urgent!" ~Terri Guillemets Is everything as urgent as your stress would imply? ~Terri Guillemets A life spent in constant labor is a life wasted, save a man be such a fool as to regard a fulsome obituary notice as ample reward. ~George Jean Nathan Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. ~Etty Hillesum

Elk were reintroduced to Kentucky in 1997 as a restoration project by the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife. From 1997 - 2003 approximately 1513 elk were transported into Kentucky. Reproduction has been very high, with approximately 90% of the adult cows producing calves. Currently, the estimated elk population in Kentucky is quickly approaching 10,000 elk. The best areas for elk habitat are on reclaimed surface mines in Eastern Kentucky.
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is sponsoring elk tours at a cost of $30/person or $15/children 12 and under.

Strength in Innovation |
Written by Mike Buetow | |||
Thursday, 03 September 2009 17:40 | |||
In May, after its Electronics Assembly Systems business had lost tens of millions of euros over the past few quarters, parent Siemens reclassified the unit for "disposal." With more than 22,000 installments worldwide, and a huge market share in Europe, the unit might be considered a prize to some. However, the current outlook for electronics equipment is slow, and several competitors are on the block as well. Yet SEAS pushes on, introducing a new placement head (see Equipment Advances, March 2009) and the SX placement platform (see http://www.circuitsassembly.com/cms/component/content/article/120/8242-siemens-rolls-out-siplace-sx-placement-machine). It was against this backdrop that SEAS CEO Guenter Lauber spoke with Mike Buetow in July. Excerpts. CA: According to Siemens, SEAS could be integrated into other Siemens segments, divested, rolled into a joint venture, or closed. Which of these options is most likely? Since Jan 1, 2009, we are a separate legal entity. We are 100% owned by Siemens, but we report not to any of the three core sectors, but directly to the Siemens board as a separate company. This helps us in terms of controlling our business in a specific way. All our regional companies with the regional and local sales and service teams are directly controlled, supported and managed by Siplace management. In doing so, we set up our business in seven clusters. Before, we were part of the Siemens business in each region, which meant we had a far bigger structure than was eventually needed, with a lot of overhead positions and processes, and a lot of different reporting structures, which could make things a bit complicated from time to time. Now, we can decide to be only where the customers are. In doing so, we could save significant money. For example, we don't have to pay for marketing costs for dual efforts. A lot of those examples helped us reduce our costs, and we can better support our customers. CA: What are those clusters? CA: What would the ideal partner look like? CA: What do you think the SEAS unit's major appeal would be to a prospective partner? CA: What would be the risks of acquiring the unit? CA: One might point to the forecasts for equipment sales over the next few years and say the outlook poses a risk. CA: Is an employee or management buyout of the unit a consideration? CA: You appear confident of SEAS' future. SEAS has installed more than 22,000 placement machines around the world. In each region we are one of the leading equipment suppliers, and in Europe we are by far No. 1. Within our service business, the share of classic support and after-sales services is, in relative terms, on the decline. On the other hand, the share of ambitious, customer-specific process improvement projects is rising steadily, because they enable customers to benefit from double-digit efficiency improvements and significant cost reductions. These start from new built-to-order concepts, which eliminate rigid manufacturing concepts and inflexible SMT lines. This means new technologies are required that make the flexible line reality. Two recently unveiled innovations – the MultiStar CPP head and the modular gantry SX-Line, which separates the investment of feeder capacity and placement performance – bring us a lot closer to the holy grail of on-demand production. This is the future of electronics production. And rest assured, at Productronica we have something really exciting in our pipeline.

The captain and naturalists will take you on a search for whales in Favorite Channel, Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal or Saginaw Channel. Binoculars are provided for your added viewing pleasure.
However the highlight of this Whale Watching Adventure is seeing the humpback whales which are feeding in the nutrient rich Alaskan waters. Once a whale is spotted your captain will slow down to allow you outside on the viewing decks for excellent picture opportunities and an up close experience. In addition, hydrophones may be lowered into the water to allow you to hear the whales communicate with each other.
Each boat is fully enclosed and heated with a marine restroom on board and capacity is kept to under 50 passengers per boat. The small groups create a great environment for wildlife viewing in the great Alaskan outdoors. Your captain is specifically trained to follow federal viewing guidelines from a safe distance..
After, you can experience the amazing Mendenhall Glacier. The glacier is located in the center of the Mendenhall Valley, which is located between Downtown Juneau and Auke Bay. You will have approximately 45 to 60 minutes near Mendenhall Glacier where you may enjoy the scenery or take a stroll on one of the numerous trails. While you visit the glacier you may take photos and searching for different types of wildlife.
Whale Sightings guaranteed! If no whale is sighted on the tour, you will be given a refund of $100.00 per adult/$50.00 per child.
Please note: You will not physically stand on the glacier. You will be approximately 1 mile (1.6km) away.
Customer Reviews
July 2013
We would rate this tour as a 5. The boat was very comfortable and designed to hold just the right number of passengers for great viewing. The tour guides were very helpful and we saw many whales. This was a good way to also get a side trip to see the Mendenhall Glacier up close.
September 2011
we loved this we saw only one humpback but quit a few Orcas inlcuding a mom and baby.The naturalsit on board was very informative. She was just as excited to see the whales as us. Highly recommend this excursion.

2 scotch bonnet chillies, chopped
2 dried poblano chillies, chopped
1 red pepper, flesh chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
100ml/3½fl oz olive oil, plus 1 tbsp extra for frying
50ml/2fl oz ready-made mango juice
1 red onion, peeled, finely chopped
410g/14½oz can mixed beans (such as green beans, kidney beans, black-eyed beans, borlotti beans and haricot beans), drained and rinsed
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 knobs of butter
4 x 225g/8oz red snapper fillets, trimmed
1 orange, segmented
4 handfuls watercress leaves
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
For the piri piri bean salad, place the scotch bonnet chillies, dried poblano chillies, red pepper and garlic into a roasting tray. Pour over enough olive oil to cover. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Transfer the contents of the roasting tray to a food processor and blend until completely smooth. (If you prefer a smoother sauce, pass the chilli oil mixture through a sieve at this stage.) Add the mango juice to the piri piri sauce and blend again until well combined.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and mixed beans and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the piri piri sauce and stir well to coat the onions and beans. Continue to cook until the sauce has warmed through. Add the chopped parsley and mix well.
For the snapper, in a separate frying pan, heat the butter over a medium heat until it is foaming. Add the red snapper fillets and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden-brown on both sides.
To serve, divide the piri piri bean salad equally among four serving plates. Place one of the snapper fillets on top of each portion. Mix the watercress and orange segments together and spoon alongside.

ColorWare makes ThinkPads blush

text: Top Sci-Fi Films at Sundance 2011 Last year, Sundance, had a slew of buzzworthy filmsfrom Splice to Cane Toad: The Conquest. This year promises to top that list with troll hunting, space missions and sense-sucking planetary pandemics. Awesome. By Erin McCarthy Email Comments 0 Share Back 7 of 11 Next View Thumbnails Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Letters from the Big Man When Chris Munch set out to make a movie about the sasquatch, he didn't know much about the bipedal hominid. "My only real knowledge of Sasquatch was in the '70s, as a kid, seeing some of the squatch-ploitation films, as I call them," says the writer and director of Letters from the Big Man. "I don't think I set out to break ground with this film, but to treat the subject in more complexity and depth than had been done in previous films, and to approach it with some seriousness and credibility." Munch began by researching what had been written about the sasquatch. "The most interesting stuff comes from Native North American tradition surrounding sasquatch, and there are common threads throughout different native cultures," he says. Munch decided to film in a forested area of Oregon where a large fire salvage operation had divided the community. "I did a lot of reading and spent a lot of time in the area where I planned to make the film, which is very interesting geographically and historically and ecologically," he says. "It seemed the best way to treat this somewhat fantastic subject would be against a realistic backdrop." Lead actress Lily Rabe plays a hydrologist who tests the streams in the area and eventually befriends the sasquatch; Munch recommended several books for her to read. Legends also say that the sasquatch is able to evoke certain feelings in humans; the director attributes this to infrasound, which is sound lower than 20 hertzbelow what humans can hear. Scientists believe that animals like elephants and tigers use infrasound to communicate, and infrasound is known to cause certain biological effects. "A fellow named Vladimir Gabreau was in an office building in Russia where the HVAC equipment was improperly balanced," Munch says. "A giant turbine was creating these subsonic frequencies that were really disturbing and making people sick. And Mark Twain wrote about his experiences with Teslathese infrasonic waves that he was generating could either produce a euphoric feeling or quickly make him sick." The final piece of the puzzle was the big man himself. Isaac Singleton played the sasquatch, and special effects artist Lee Romaire created the suit and prosthetic makeup for the role. Munch always knew that he wanted to use practical effects rather than a creating a CG creature. "I've never been particularly fond of completely computer generated creatures," he says. "I think there's something absent on an emotional level. So the decision came from wanting the audience to have that emotional connection, but also from a practical standpoint, that seemed like the way to go."

The place was great, everyone there was very nice and helpful. The tour was excellent and the tasting was great. Lots of information and they had a lot of personality which made it fun and not boring. And the sampling paired things together to enhance the flavors of the wine. The tapas afterwards were delicious too! |

Beautiful surroundings, personable tour guide/wine tasting host and not too bad wine. When I mistakenly made a reservation for just one, the winery was super responsive and changed it to two people quickly and happily. |
Don't know if it is standard, but no seats for the duration of the approximately 45 minute wine tasting. |

Years after implantation, some cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator leads (wires) may need removal or replacement by extraction. This is because implanted cardiac devices (ICD) can be subject to infection, malfunction, or fracture.
Removing implanted leads is potentially risky and offered only at a small number of medical centers -- many fewer than those offering implantation of these systems.
Similar to other procedures, volume matters in terms of success and freedom from complications. Duke has among the highest volume of cardiac lead extractions with laser or other technology in the Southeast.
About 95 percent of patients have their leads removed without the need for open-heart surgery.
Duke has an interdisciplinary program in lead extraction using the only hybrid operating room in North Carolina offering state-of-the-art x-ray fluoroscopy in a fully equipped open heart operating theater.
Make an appointment with a Duke heart specialist near you: 888-ASK-DUKE (888-275-3853).

Right-wing media have responded to a Supreme Court justice's decision to temporarily block the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) birth control mandate by falsely claiming that abortifacients are included in the coverage required by the health care law.
2013 was an epic year of right-wing media misinforming the public on the health care debate, particularly on women's health issues. Ignoring women's health experts, conservative media spent this year stoking fears about everything from birth control to maternity care, ignoring science, distorting state and federal regulations, and demonizing women's health care options in the process. These are the top six scare tactics from 2013.
Media Matters looks back at the best of the worst of right-wing media's treatment of women in 2013.
Conservative media outlets have repeatedly asserted that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) - federal legislation that would ban employment discrimination against LGBT workers - discriminates against Christian businesses, but a new report from PolitiFact has rated that claim "False."
On December 16, PolitiFact evaluated a fundraising email from the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) which claimed that ENDA would unfairly punish Christian businesses. PolitiFact rated TVC's claim "false," noting that ENDA includes religious exemptions that are actually more generous than those contained in other federal non-discrimination laws.
PolitiFact also noted that non-religious businesses operated by religious individuals have to comply with the law regardless of the business owner's faith (emphasis added):
Under Title VII [of the Civil Rights Act of 1964], and therefore under ENDA, religious organizations, which need not be church-run, would be exempt. Additionally, all businesses with fewer than 15 employees are exempt, whether they're religious or not.
Nelson Tebbe, a professor at Brooklyn Law School who specializes in religious liberty, said ENDA's religious exemption exceeds Title VII's.
"It's broader because the religious exemption in Title VII only allows religious organizations to discriminate [against LGBT individuals] on the basis of religion," he said. But it doesn't allow religious groups to discriminate based on factors like an employee's gender or race.
So by permitting religious organizations to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, ENDA allows them more flexibility than Title VII.
The bill's religious exemption indicates that churches, church-run initiatives and other religious businesses need not comply by employing people of all sexualities and gender identities. And there's no special negative treatment for Christians.
Businesses of any religion could qualify for the exemption. Individuals of any faith who oppose sexuality would have to abide by the law, so no religion is singled out.
We rate this claim False.
The myth that ENDA would discriminate against Christian businesses has been widely debunked, but that hasn't stopped the lie from gaining prominence among right-wing media outlets.
The Washington Times editorial board denounced a judge's ruling that a Denver baker violated Colorado's anti-discrimination law by not serving a same-sex couple, assailing "militant homosexual activists" for having the temerity to oppose business discrimination based on sexual orientation.
In a December 10 editorial, the Times cast the judge's decision as an affront to religious freedom, not bothering to distinguish between one's right to personally hold anti-LGBT religious views and discriminatory practices by a business operating in the public marketplace (emphasis added):
A Colorado court is making it a crime to refuse to cater to militant homosexual activists. Judge Robert N. Spencer held on Friday that a bakery owner who, citing his Christian religious beliefs, wouldn't bake a wedding cake for a homosexual couple must "cease and desist from discriminating" or pay fines so large that he'd go out of business.
In this clash of values, the religiously observant are relegated to the back of the legal bus. In Judge Spencer's view, the First Amendment's protection of freedom of religion must give way to a state anti-discrimination law, even though the Colorado Constitution clearly states, "Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as marriage in this state." The plaintiffs, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, were "married" in Massachusetts, where another court declared such unions to be legal. The couple had demanded that Jack Phillips, owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, produce a cake for a July 2012 reception in Colorado.
It's not as though Mr. Phillips was unwilling to serve the groom or the other groom. "I'll make you birthday cakes, shower cakes, sell you cookies and brownies," Mr. Phillips told the men. "I just don't make cakes for same-sex weddings."
The activists here could easily have taken their business elsewhere (rather than to the ACLU), but they wanted to force Mr. Phillips to endorse their conduct, regardless of his deeply held values. Unlike, say, cookies and brownies, a wedding cake is a creative endeavor that communicates a message from the artist, Mr. Phillips' Alliance Defending Freedom attorney explains. "If the service or the product is expressive, if it sends a message, and the government says you have to make it, create it and carry it for someone else," ADF lawyer Nicolle Martin said on a Denver talk-radio show, "that is forced speech.
As is often the case, the Times' editorial board doesn't appear to understand what it's talking about. In this case, the notoriously homophobic paper at least managed to discern which side of this dispute a committed opponent of LGBT equality would take, but the Times' logical consistency stops there.
Take the Times' non-sequitur concerning marriage equality. It's true, as the editorial notes, that same-sex marriage remains illegal in Colorado. How, though, does this invalidate Judge Spencer's finding that Phillips' refusal to serve the couple was a violation of the state's anti-discrimination law? The law explicitly prohibits businesses from refusing to serve customers based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Colorado's lack of marriage equality doesn't change that.
Washington Times columnist Robert Knight falsely claimed that a lawsuit of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is an assault on religion that is trying to "force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions." In fact, if the complaint is accurate, it is a straightforward negligence claim that alleges a pregnant woman's life was needlessly put in harm's way when she was denied appropriate care by a Catholic hospital adhering to binding directives of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
On November 29, the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of Tamesha Means, a Michigan woman who alleges she was denied proper and ethical medical care for an emergency miscarriage by Mercy Health Partners (MHP), a Catholic hospital under the authority of the USCCB. The USCCB forbids hospitals like Mercy from assisting in or facilitating abortions.
According to Means' complaint, she went to the emergency room at Mercy when she started to miscarry at just 18 weeks. Despite the fact that the fetus would most likely be stillborn or "die very shortly thereafter," doctors at Mercy never provided information about the option of an abortion, even though prolonging the pregnancy was life-threatening. Instead, Means says, the hospital sent her home twice -- even though she was having contractions, was in pain, and bleeding. On Means' third visit to Mercy's emergency room -- the only hospital reportedly within a half-hour's drive of her home -- she went into labor. Means' baby died just two hours after delivery.
In his December 5 editorial, Knight mischaracterized the basis of the lawsuit, complaining that the ACLU is attempting to "force Catholic doctors everywhere to violate their faith by facilitating abortions":
The ACLU wants Catholic hospitals to practice medicine without morals.
The American Civil Liberties Union is so upset that a Michigan baby died just after being born that the group is suing the Catholic Church for not deliberately killing the child earlier.
In a lawsuit filed on Nov. 29 against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in U.S. District Court in Michigan, the ACLU contends that the church's medical directives reflecting a pro-life stance against abortion resulted in negligent care for a woman with a troubled pregnancy who eventually lost the child.
"It's not just about one woman," said Kary Moss, executive director of the Michigan ACLU, in a Newsmax report quoted in The Washington Times. "It's about a nationwide policy created by nonmedical professionals putting patients in harm's way."
Translation: Either the Catholic Church directs Catholic hospitals to perform abortions or it will be bankrupted, courtesy of the ACLU, which fights for the "right" to abort even full-term, healthy babies.
This is about far more than Ms. Means' tragic situation or one hospital's alleged negligence. It's about forcing Catholic doctors everywhere to violate their faith by facilitating abortions. It strikes at the very heart of religious freedom and freedom of conscience. It's a corollary to the Department of Health and Human Services' mandate under Obamacare that faith-based institutions or businesses run by devoutly religious owners provide contraceptives regarded as abortifacients or face ruinous fines.
Since only the Catholic Church bothered to build a hospital within 30 minutes of Ms. Means' home, the ACLU contends that the facility should operate without religious principles guiding it or simply switch to the ACLU's brand of moral relativism, where unborn children are merely options.
It's like building the only power plant and providing electricity where there was none and then getting sued for not electrocuting the people that the ACLU thinks are expendable.
But this complaint is not questioning the religious faith of Catholic doctors. Following basic personal injury law and theories of vicarious liability, the ACLU alleges that because the USCCB required an anti-abortion policy at the Catholic hospital, the USCCB was responsible for egregiously substandard medical care.
Way back in November 2008, Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that bore the headline: "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." At the time, the economy was crashing and the Bush White House was considering a multi-billion dollar bailout of the auto industry to prevent its collapse and the resulting wholesale economic devastation. Romney argued against the bailout, pushing instead for a "managed bankruptcy" for the troubled automakers, which he referred to collectively as "Detroit."
Four years later, Romney was the Republican presidential candidate, and that op-ed became the subject of repeated attacks from Barack Obama, who supported the auto bailout and wanted to remind voters that the automobile industry had been saved by timely government intervention. "We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt. We bet on American workers and American ingenuity, and three years later, that bet is paying off in a big way," Obama said at the time, also referring to the automobile industry by its well-known nickname, "Detroit."
Jump forward to the present day, and the city of Detroit (not the automobile industry both Romney and Obama referred to as "Detroit," which has flourished) is declaring bankruptcy. It's an unfortunate state of affairs for a great American city. What's also unfortunate is how many conservatives are using Detroit's bankruptcy to claim that Mitt Romney was right and Obama broke his promise when he said he "refused to let Detroit go bankrupt" -- knowingly and deliberately confusing "Detroit" as it refers to the auto industry with Detroit the city.
Rush Limbaugh attacked a federal program that keeps children from going hungry, arguing that food stamps are instead the cause of childhood obesity -- but studies find no link between the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP -- also called food stamps) and obesity in children.
On the December 3 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh agreed that a Washington Times op-ed by James Bovard proved the theory that "more food stamps means fatter kids." Limbaugh asserted that minority children were casualties of "Obama's obesity epidemic" because the "Democrat party has made everybody they can think they are victims" by giving them food stamps.
But Limbaugh's claims are false. Bovard's op-ed never asserted that most childhood obesity occurs among minorities and Bovard mislead his readers about obesity studies to craft a false narrative that food stamp use is linked to childhood obesity. Bovard referenced a study by Baruch college professor Diane Gibson titled "Food Stamp Program Participation is Positively Related to Obesity in Low Income Women" which "estimated that participation in the food-stamp program for five years boosted the odds of young girls being overweight by 43 percent." But Gibson pointed out that her research "did not control for food insecurity, and this omission potentially complicates the interpretation of the FSP [Food Stamp Program] participation variables."
In a recent editorial, The Washington Times accused Democrats of planning to play "the race card" by criticizing Senate Republicans' historic obstruction of President Obama's well-qualified and diverse judicial nominees.
Senate Republicans have engaged in unprecedented obstruction of Obama's judicial nominees, which is preventing an up-or-down vote on current nominees to the critical U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Cornelia "Nina" Pillard, Patricia Millett, and district court judge Robert Wilkins. Yet the editors of the Times are quick to side with Senate Republicans who dismiss any criticism of their obstructionist strategy as nothing more than "a well-worn card."
From the November 18 editorial:
Senate Republicans are standing up, so far, to President Obama's attempt to pack the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit with radical judicial activists. A filibuster blocked a vote on the confirmation of Cornelia Pillard last week and of Patricia Millett two weeks before that. Predictably, Senate Democrats declared that the forthright Republican opposition was another skirmish in the "war on women."
"It's a well-worn card," says Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, of the Democratic strategy. "And they play it every time." Well, not quite every time. When Republicans attempt to block confirmation of U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins, who is black, to the appellate bench, Democrats will play the race card.
Opposing women and blacks is said to be part of Republican war on two fronts. It's not war when Democrats oppose female and black nominees. Forty-three Democrats voted unsuccessfully to deny George W. Bush's nominee Janice Rogers Brown to the appellate bench because she was not woman enough, just as Clarence Thomas was judged by Democrats to be not black enough. The Democrats guard their race and gender formulas as fiercely as Coca-Cola protects the formula for the popular soft drink.
Mr. Obama let slip the game at a private Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser early this month. "We are remaking the courts," he told them. The claim was brazen enough to make the ghost of FDR, lurking nearby, blush.
Republicans are rightly troubled by the prospect of remaking the courts by adding radical activists to a bench that doesn't even need new judges. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says that if more judges are added to the panel, "there wouldn't be work enough to go around." With some other federal appeals courts having legitimate vacancies, attention should be paid to "where judges are needed and where they're not," says Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, "And this court demonstrably doesn't need new judges. It's not any more complicated than that."
The editorial is a stale rehashing of repeatedly disproved right-wing talking points.
The Washington Times published an op-ed that downplayed the epidemic of sexual assault in the military and called efforts to curb assaults "emasculat[ing]," ignoring reports that confirm sexual assaults are indeed a crisis in the military.
Amid recent reports that "sexual assault in the military increased sharply during the last fiscal year," a November 17 op-ed in The Washington Times titled "The feminist campaign to make weaklings of America's warriors" claimed that recent efforts to curb sexual assault in the military "emasculate[d] men" and "objectif[ied] women" who want to be in combat units. The article opened (emphasis added):
Feminism is trying to yank the U.S. military in two directions at once. While claiming that women have no problem meeting the rigorous standards of the SEALs or infantry, advocates of opening these branches to women argue that female members of the military must be protected from the male sexual predators that, we are assured, are widely represented in the military. However, they can't have it both ways. Are women "hear me roar" Amazons, or are they fragile flowers who must be protected from "sexual harassment," encouraged to level the charge at the drop of the hat?
While author Mackubin Thomas Owens noted that there "was no excuse for sexual assault," he continued to downplay sexual assault statistics, claiming that the focus on curbing assaults objectified women as "weaklings who have no place in the military" (emphasis added):
The data cited by the Pentagon creating widespread panic within the military are rendered suspect for two reasons. The first problem is methodological: The numbers -- some 26,000 active-duty service members out of a population of 1.4 million claim to have been sexually assaulted in 2012 -- are based on an anonymous survey. This number far exceeds reported cases of sexual assault.
The second and more significant problem is that the survey uses the term "sexual assault" in a way so broad as to render it nearly meaningless. Indeed, much of what is now covered by the Pentagon's sexual-assault rubric represents the de facto criminalization of normal relations between the sexes of the sort that come about when young males and females are thrown into proximity.
One of the ironies of the focus on sexual assault in the military is that it serves to objectify women, not as sexual objects but as weaklings who have no place in the military. It diminishes the significant contributions that women have made to the nation's defense, serving honorably, competently and bravely during both peace and war. The fact is that the vast majority of women in today's armed forces are extremely professional and want nothing to do with Elshtain's two wings of feminism. Yet they are being infantilized by the Pentagon's focus on sexual assault.
If the United States insists on opening infantry and special operations forces to women, the focus should be on upholding high standards, no matter the outcome. Instead, those who want to open these heretofore restricted military specialties to women insist on stigmatizing males as sexual predators and women as childlike victims whose only protection is to charge sexual assault. The result will be a less effective military, rent by dissension.
But Owens' critiques of recent reports are unfounded. The "Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military" noted that the findings are consistent with a study prepared for the Air Force by Gallup, which had a significantly higher response rate. In fact, the report's research supervisor, Dr. David Lisak, worked with Gallup and the Air Force on the earlier study. In addition, the Army Sexual Assault Prevention & Response Program explained that the military of definition of sexual assault is "unwanted and inappropriate sexual conduct or fondling" and added that sexual assault is a crime:
Right-wing media figures capitalized on provocative advertisements for Obamacare from non-profit groups in Colorado to attack a woman who uses free birth control as a "slut," "whore," and "prostitute."
Continuing its misinformation campaign against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which bans workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, The Washington Times published a column falsely asserting that the legislation would trigger a wave of lawsuits, impose quotas, and lead to the criminalization of conservative religious denominations.
In a November 10 column for the Times, American Civil Rights Union senior fellow Robert Knight blasted ENDA as a bill that would "expand government and repeal the Bible":
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act doesn't say that directly, but its core meaning is that employers -- and their employees -- must accommodate every sexual expression under the sun or face federal prosecution and nuisance lawsuits by the American Civil Liberties Union.
House Speaker John A. Boehner said the bill would not reach the House floor. People who believe in the freedoms of speech, religion and assembly, not to mention what's left of property rights, had better hope he keeps his promise. This is about so much more than the threat of "frivolous lawsuits."
Even if you're not persuaded by moral arguments, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is a massive expansion of federal power and a gift to trial attorneys, who are among the largest donors to the Democratic Party.
In reality, no serious observer expects ENDA to spur a rash of lawsuits. A study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) examining states with LGBT workplace protections demonstrated that only a tiny fraction of states' employment discrimination complaints were based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Over a five-year period, less than five percent of California's discrimination complaints were from LGBT workers. In Colorado - which tracked sexual orientation- and gender identity-based complaints separately -- only 5.5 percent of employment discrimination complaints were based on sexual orientation, and a mere 0.29 percent were based on gender identity. In Iowa, the respective figures were 3.6 percent and 0.6 percent. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) expects ENDA to increase complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by a modest five percent.
Knight proceeded to distinguish other protected categories, like race and sex, from sexual orientation and gender identity, which "no one would know" about if not for employees' "behavior":
Far from ensuring equality, the bill is a radical departure from civil rights laws, whose protected classes stem from immutable characteristics with no moral content, such as skin color, place of birth or sex. The exception is religion, which is guaranteed by the First Amendment.
What makes "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" different is that these categories are vague, not immutable, and the associated behaviors have moral implications. In fact, behavior defines the groups. Otherwise, unlike race or sex, no one would know.
Several local media outlets published editorials and opinion pieces highlighting and praising CBS' faulty 60 Minutes Benghazi report. Now that CBS has apologized and withdrawn its report, will local media follow suit?
On October 27, CBS' 60 Minutes aired a report highlighting comments from security officer Dylan Davies, who went by the pseudonym "Morgan Jones" and said that he was an eyewitness to the September 12, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. After several inconsistencies surfaced in Davies' statements about the evening, CBS pulled its report, apologized to viewers, and said it would "correct the record" on the next edition of 60 Minutes.
Immediately following the 60 Minutes report, various local media outlets across the country published editorial and opinion pieces hyping the report and heralding it as evidence that President Obama and his administration were lying about the attacks. At least six local media outlets, including The Columbus Dispatch, The New Hampshire Union Leader, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Washington Times, The Charleston Post and Courier, and The Boston Herald, all hyped the CBS report with one outlet calling it a "damning report" while another said the administration's "coverup [is] being exposed." Pittsburgh Press writer Jack Kelly published a piece in the Post-Gazette claiming the report was "noteworthy for the new information provided -- in particular the interviews with 'Morgan Jones' and [Lt.] Col. [Andrew] Wood."
The 60 Minutes report reinvigorated the widely debunked myth that there are "lingering questions" about the Benghazi attack and continued to push a right-wing media narrative that the Obama administration has engaged in a cover-up in response to the attacks. The pervasiveness of the myth even hit Congress as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) threatened to hold up presidential nominations until questions surrounding Benghazi were answered.
Now that CBS has retracted its report, will local media outlets who also injected this misleading myth into their opinion pages do the same, or will they continue to rely on debunked information that misleads their readers?
The Washington Times marked the U.S. Senate's historic vote for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) by publishing a column from an anti-LGBT hate group leader who baselessly asserted that the legislation permits "reverse discrimination" and doesn't truly exempt religious employers.
On November 8 - one day after the Senate voted 64 to 32 to ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity - the Times granted Tony Perkins, president of the hate group Family Research Council, a platform to smear ENDA as "a major threat to liberty." Perkins attacked the bill's religious exemption as inadequate and claimed that the legislation promotes "reverse discrimination" against social conservatives:
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act contains a very narrow "religious exemption," but previous experience with similar laws and similar "exemptions" at the state and local level give little confidence that they will fully protect conscience when the law is applied. Sometimes, the enforcers will seek to limit the exemption to actual clergy but insist that church employees who do not proclaim the faith are not exempt. Some will exempt all employees of actual churches, but leave nonprofits and parachurch ministries unprotected. Sometimes, religious nonprofits are protected, but not if a significant part of their work is "secular" in nature (such as feeding the poor or educating children). In any case, any exemption is unlikely to apply to any profit-making entity -- even a religious publishing house or radio station.
Unfortunately, the mere language of a legislative "exemption" is inadequate to predict how liberal activists on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or in the courts will interpret it.
Even more alarming than the lack of a strong religious exemption, however, is the prospect that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act would lead to a form of reverse discrimination, whereby anyone who expresses or promotes a view of family or morality that can be interpreted to be a disapproval of homosexual conduct or disagreement with elements of the homosexual political agenda (such as the redefinition of marriage) will be subject to retaliation and discrimination.
Despite Perkins' eagerness to frame ENDA as an unprecedented assault on religious freedom, Section 6 of ENDA explicitly exempts religious organizations, affirming that the same religious organizations exempt under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are also exempt under ENDA. Since Senate debate began on the bill, the right of religious organizations to discriminate against LGBT individuals has only been reaffirmed. On November 6, the Senate adopted by voice vote an amendment from ENDA supporter Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) prohibiting retaliation against religious organizations.
Moreover, businesses required to comply with ENDA's non-discrimination requirements won't see any loss of religious liberty. There's a stark difference between personal religious views against homosexuality and discriminatory public business practices against LGBT people. Just as civil rights protections for racial minorities don't punish private racist thoughts, ENDA won't deploy the thought police to go after religious conservatives.
Right-wing media claimed opposition to the Affordable Care Act influenced the Virginia governor election despite polls that show the health reform law was an insignificant factor in the race.

Besides the "day-age" and "gap" theories, there's a theory held by some, that the six days of Genesis 1 were "days" in which God revealed creation to the human race.
All three beliefs assume that something like evolution took place over billions of years. The "day-age" theory sees a parallelism with Genesis 1, but ignores the time-frame (see Q&A: Creation Compromises—Progressive Creationism). The "gap" theory accepts the time-frame but inserts either evolution or a reconstruction of the earth before or after Genesis 1:1 (see Q&A: Creation Compromises—Gap theory). The "revelation" theory accepts the time-frame but applies it to God's telling the story to Moses, and so allows evolution to occur independently of the narrative in Genesis.
I mention the other two views to bring to our notice that (a) all three views have developed since evolutionary gradualism became popular, and (b) the "revelation" view is closer to the "gap" theory than it is to the "day-age" theory. It's also the most recent in development.
Like the "gap" theory, it accepts standard Hebrew scholarship in insisting that Hebrew yom in this context can only mean an ordinary day—see Q&A: Genesis If long periods had been intended, a different word would have been used (and each day would not have had "an evening and a morning').
The best-known exponent of the "revelation" theory is Air-Commodore (and Assyriologist) P.J. Wiseman, as set out in his book Creation Revealed in Six Days.1 Bernard Ramm, however, said he believes in three theories: "pictorial-day", moderate concordism, and progressive creationism, and express all this as "pictorial-revelatory".2 It's similar to Wiseman's theory, but he appears to hold to progressive creationism so as to retain creative acts at points along an otherwise evolutionary past.
Ramm also traces the pictorial aspect to J.H. Kurtz, some time before 1857.3 Kurtz called it a vision theory, though Wiseman objects to this label.4 Thus there are differences among the "revelators", but the general idea is to shift the six days from the creation time-slot to that of telling the story.
Is there any Scriptural basis for believing that God was only revealing, not creating, on those six days? A natural reading surely excludes such a conclusion.
However, we must look at Wiseman's claim that Hebrew 'asah ('make') here means "show" (though Ramm denies this5). Wiseman tries to apply this reading to the Hebrew in Genesis 2:2–3 and Exodus 20:1. He translates Hebrew mela'khto ('his work') in Genesis 2:2–3 as "his business", suggesting it could apply to the telling of the story of creation, not to creation itself.6 This translation is very strained. Furthermore, nothing in Gesenius" Hebrew Lexicon supports the interpretation of 'asah as "show".7
What seems to have happened is that Wiseman was unaware of idioms in King James English (which might be called Early Modern English). He claims correctly that 'asah is rendered "show"' in certain places. But we have to notice that (a) it is translated "make" 653 times as against 43 for "shew", and (b) all the "shew" examples are archaic English uses with abstract nouns, translated into other languages as "do" or "make".
KJV word with "shew" | Number of occurrences |
kindness | 22 |
mercy | 10 |
goodness, might, signs | 2 each |
faithfulness, love, salvation, terror, token, wonders | 1 each |
The least abstract of these are: signs, token, wonders. But all of these are translated elsewhere as "do signs", etc.
The point is that 'asah does not mean "reveal", though it can mean "produce". When used with a concrete noun like "heavens" or "earth" or "man" it most definitely can only convey making, not telling or any verb of speaking.8
Thus the whole linguistic foundation of Wiseman's theory is untenable. No reputable scholar can be found to support it . Perhaps Wiseman was affected by the tendency to regard Genesis 1 as poetic. If this was so, let it be noted that the Hebrew scholar C.D. Ginsberg stated:
"there is in this chapter none of the peculiarities of Hebrew poetry."9
S.R. Driver wrote:
"The narrative contains no indication of its being the revelation of a vision … it purports to describe not appearances but facts."10
Perhaps it is appropriate to end with a statement from Wiseman himself:
"Although the writer of these pages has no doubt that the greater and more convincing revelation of God to man was made through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, he has noticed that philosophers as well as thoughtful students in our universities are apt to go back, not only to Christ, but right back to the first page of the Bible in order to secure a sure foundation for their thinking and faith."11
Wiseman apparently overlooked the need to honour the text of Scripture as highly in Genesis 1 as he did in the miraculous parts of the New Testament revelation of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. And Wiseman's denial of the historicity of Genesis actually undermines the basis of Jesus" death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:21–22).

A new rider from the Outer Sunset
Meet Miri. She just started biking in San Francisco six months ago, and like most of us, she's hooked on the convenience of commuting by bike. She's biking almost everywhere now—to work, to go grocery shopping and for recreation on the weekend. As a new rider, Miri offers an interesting vantage point on the many new changes to our streets. We caught up with her to check in about how her first Bike to Work Day event was, and how she's liking the new protected bikeway in JFK Drive.
How was your Bike to Work Day experience this year?
Fantastic. It took me 50 minutes to get to work, it normally takes the same amount of time taking Muni, it was a lot more refreshing and I very accomplished when I made it. I was not very athletic previously, and biking has helped me get in better shape. I established the goal to bike to work once I have got my bike, and I have been training for it. For instance, riding on challenging terrain, getting familiar with the route, practicing hand signals, etc. Now I can go grocery shopping, laundry, and many other places on my pretty bike.
What is your experience biking on JFK Drive with the new separated bikeway?
A smooth ride. It is so safe that I keep telling my friends how much effort the city and SF Bike Coalition have put in for us. I also think its great that there is the car-free play space on the weekends that allows the community to enjoy the public space to the max.
What other streets would you like to see improvements on?
Market street, bumpy and crowded. It is a little challenging for newbies like me to share the road with buses and cars.It would be ideal to have a complete route 30 bike lane, so everyone can bike from Ocean Beach to Embarcadero easily.
