MOVIE REVIEW: Broad comedic appeal is both strength and weakness of "Dinner for Schmucks"

Dogs leap from balcony to survive fire
Updated On: Sep 14 2013 05:01:12 AM EDT
Two dogs made a daring escape from a two-alarm apartment fire in Oregon.
They jumped off a balcony to survive.
When fire crews got to the apartment in McMinnville on Monday night, they found the pit bulls trapped on a second floor deck, Portland TV station KPTV reported.
One of the dogs climbed up on the railing as firefighters worked to put out the flames, then jumped to the ground below.
The second dog also jumped after a firefighter broke out the deck railing and tore away some wire fencing.
Both of them survived.
Four units were damaged and cannot be occupied until repairs are made, authorities told KPTV.
Investigators determined that unattended cooking started the blaze.

Tuesday night was the Regina premiere of Corner Gas: The Movie, and Leader-Post reporter Ashley Martin was at the red carpet to chat to the big stars of Corner Gas: The Movie and a few dignitaries about the folks in Dog River, whether they'd rather be a police officer or gas station attendant, and even found out one star's love of chili cheese dogs.
Corner Gas: The Movie is facing some high expectations and Virginia Thompson is OK with that. In fact, Thompson — a co-producer of the film along with Brent Butt and David Storey — went into the project with high expectations of her own and would have been surprised by anything less from the devoted fan base of Corner Gas.

When George Gwozdecky's underrated DU Pioneers team won the NCAA national championship last spring, college hockey was shocked. No surprise if the Pis repeat this season. After trailing archrival Colorado College in the polls for most of the year, DU (28-9-2) knocked off the Tigers in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association title game last Saturday with a 1-0 win and moved on to the NCAA tournament as a solid second choice behind Boston College. Look for the high-scoring Pioneers, backstopped by a pair of fast-developing young goaltenders, to come out as tough-minded and confident as ever in another surge to the Frozen Four.

"AMERICA'S BEST BEER-DRINKING CITY - yes it is boastful but it is the damn truth! Not that there are not other great US beer cities - Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, and little Asheville NC come to mind - but they are all more locally oriented (area breweries, West Coast, etc.) and cannot match the unrivaled breadth of Philly taps: beers from across the US, Belgian, German, Italian, Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, if it is good, we have it!
It is not uncommon these days to find fellow beer drinkers in Belgium and Denmark who know all about Philadelphia's august perch in the beer drinking world and will talk knowledgeably about Victory and other US breweries, cascade hops, etc. The beer revolution is unstoppable."
Wherever you go in this town, there's good stuff to drink. And Philly Beer Week is a brilliant excuse to veer off your familiar routes of life and try something new.

New Zealand soldier wounded in Afghanistan attackOctober 26, 2013 @ 4:44 pm
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - New Zealand's defense force says a New Zealand soldier was wounded during an insider attack by an Afghan soldier on the outskirts of Kabul.
The incident ended when the Afghan soldier was killed. No coalition soldiers died.
In a statement Sunday, the defense force said the New Zealander was wounded in the foot after an Afghan soldier opened fire Saturday on a group of coalition soldiers who were leaving a meeting at an Afghan National Army building.
The defense force said an Australian soldier in the group also received a minor wound, while a second Australian soldier returned fire.
Kabul's Defense Ministry confirmed an Afghan soldier was killed during the incident.
Such insider attacks by Afghan troops, or insurgents in their uniforms, have left 15 foreign soldiers dead this year.

Lavender is one of those plants that has a timeless charm. It's been in gardens worldwide for centuries. For gardeners interested in a plant that doesn't need constant watering, attracts beneficial insects and smells wonderful, lavender can be the lady of the landscape. All it needs is good drainage and lots of room to grow.
Lavender lover Rosemary Nightingale of Squaw Valley Herb Gardens near Fresno, Calif., has grown the herb for more than 30 years. And in all that time, she hasn't run out of inventive ways to use the plant - in and out of the landscape.
"I love that it has so many gifts, you know for culinary recipes, for medicinal remedies, for crafts, for beauty, for just the whole sense of fragrance, it's fantastic," she says.
When Rosemary plants lavender, she chooses a spot that has at least four feet of room all around it. She plants in the soil that's there, adding no organic matter or fertilizer. All she does is water the plant in by creating a well around the plant to direct the water flow to the roots. Once the lavender is established over the growing season, she cuts way back on watering. A good layer of mulch keeps moisture in and weeds out.
Harvest lavender when the blooms are at their peak - tight, richly colored, plentiful buds. The stems come together in clusters. Grab a handful and cut the lavender about one inch above the wood or dry part. This is a good time to prune some of the woodier branches away for even better flower production later in the season.
Rosemary places the flowers on a drying screen. Soon the harvest will be turned into lavender honey, lavender sugar, cleaning solutions, soaps, incense and on and on.

Saturday, October 25, 2014 from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
Consonantia is a monthly Saturday gathering where you can explore and learn a variety of spiritual practices at workshops facilitated by experienced leaders. The program is co-sponsored by the Thomas Merton Society of Canada and St. Andrew's United Church. Although you are welcome to drop in spontaneously, we would appreciate registration through the TMSC (firstname.lastname@example.com or 604-988-8835) in order to help us with hospitality and workshop planning. Hospitality begins at 9:30 am; workshops at 10:15 am; lunch at noon. Cost: free or by donation. Come for part or all of the day.
Two concurrent workshops. Take one in the morning, the other in the afternoon.
Facilitator: Rev. Ken Jones has loved music all his life. From the age of 5 he was enrolled in Orff music and choirs. In 2000, he began studying music for healing and transition, achieving the designation of Certified Music Practitioner. Combining this knowledge with his Healing Pathways and Reiki training, Ken purchased a set of Singing Quartz Crystal Bowls and began to lead Crystal Bowl Meditation in 2005. Ken serves in ministry at Revelstoke United Church.
Facilitator: Rev. Sally McShane is the Community Minister in shared leadership at First United Church on the DTES of Vancouver. Sally brings the experience of 23 years of ministry in churches across Canada as well as the experience as Chaplain in a prison, a Woman's Shelter and a Jewish Palliative Care ward to her work. Her BA work was grounded in the wisdom of the Canadian theologian Bernard Lonergan, followed by an M. Div. at Atlantic School of Theology and a Masters in Pastoral Care and Spirituality at Emmanuel College, Toronto. Sally's experiences have revealed to her the very real transformative love of God. Next to time with her family, her favourite moments are talking about that love. "God is profoundly awesome!" she says.
Check out this new book of essays by Canadian writers
The Thomas Merton Society of Canada has just published a book of essays about this internationally acclaimed writer. The book is distinctive and original in that it represents the work of Canadian scholars, many of whom have significant publishing records of their own. These scholars, who have been publishing books and artticles over the years in North America and in the U.K., here offer varied and provocative views of Merton as contemplative, social critic, and poet. Merton is recognized as one of the most important religious thinkers of the last hundred years. The book which is entitled Thornas Merton: Monk on the Edge and which runs approximately 200 pages, is modestly priced at $25.00 (CDN).

Good Samaritan finds wallet stuffed with $500 in cash, then returns it
A Treasure Coast teen who lost his wallet said he learned there are still some good people in the world.
Jonathan King had left a Vero Beach doctor's office when he realized he'd accidentally left his wallet in the waiting room.
Inside it? $500 in cash to pay his bills.
King went back inside to see if it was still there, but had no luck.
That's where Lynne Jones came into the picture.
"I saw the wallet, so I picked it up," she said. "I counted the money and said, 'Oh, that's a whole lot of money in there.' So I said, 'Oh, look, their address is Vero,' and my son said, 'Why don't we take it by when we get back?'"
Jones said she and her kids got in the car and drove over to the address on King's driver's license.
"Did you lose something?" Jones said she asked King upon greeting him at his house. "And he just got this big smile and (said), 'Thank you so much.'"
King said he got a little emotional when he saw his wallet just hours after losing it.
"I almost broke down crying because I was just amazed about how there are actual good people in this world," he said.
King offered Jones a reward but she declined.

from the Anchorage Daily News,
"The money is going to be the money, (but) there's a lot more to it,'' Gomez said by telephone Saturday. "I want to win. I want to bring the Stanley Cup to Anchorage again.
"I've been a little spoiled in New Jersey—you knew you always had a chance to win. I still want that chance.''
Gomez and his father, Carlos, on Saturday flew to Chicago, where they set up camp with agent Ian Pulver.

Flames Hard To Figure Out

from the Calgary Sun,
It sure is a funky coincidence the display of hockey's stupidity is launched on Canada Day.
Today marks the start of Christmas in July. The presents—really truckloads of cash—begin being handed out all over the place
Smyth is going to be given big bucks and a long-term deal from some team. So will Drury, Daniel Briere, Brad Stuart and Sheldon Souray.
It's a good bet the Los Angeles Kings are going to dive into the market like they never have before. Likewise, Colorado will be a player and Edmonton intends to.
What about the Flames?
Well, good luck figuring it out. General manager Darryl Sutter will never tip his hand.

This Is Becomming An Annual Event
by Paul on 07/01/07 at 08:29 AM ET
Comments (0)
I posted this last year on UFA Day, and basically it holds true today…
Many of us are keeping our eyes and ears open throughout this holiday weekend, trying to find out who signed where, any trades yet, etc.
We do this with great passion while the players that are actually involved are at their summer home or cottage, on the golf course, at the
World Cup
ballgame or relaxing at their favorite resort.
Should if not be the other way around? Players should have to suffer and gnaw their teeth along with us, trying to tune into three streaming web radio stations at once; a trick I can teach them in a few minutes. I'd like to see
Briere, Drury or Smyth opening five websites up at once, refreshing them every 30 seconds to see if there is any hint of movement.
If all the GMs would just email me when they sign or trade someone and the player agents do the same, I could get on with my life. I have better things to do, maybe I can watch the
6th game of the SCF in peace, watch my 3 DVD set of the Wings or re-paint the Winged Wheel logo on my garage door.
On second thought, maybe a few Wings who live nearby can come over and re-paint the logo (yes, it still needs to be done)- and please make a beer run for me too (remember, no beer can be sold until noon today!)
To see what it was like a year ago today, start here and go backwards when viewing other pages. Geez, we had a false signing very early, then the real signings were announced around 2pm.

from Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun,
Under the terms of the CBA, no individual player can make more than 20% of his team's cap, so that means the potential top salary for a player for the upcoming season is $10.06 million.
Wasn't that what the top players were making before the lockout, leading the game's leaders to cry the business of the NHL was "broken?"
Makes you wonder why there was a lockout, huh?
Despite the acres of open seats in rinks in America and the lack of an American TV audience, the game appears to be financially healthier than ever. There are two or three factors for that, near as I can see, and they're all thanks to Canada and its fans.

Rafalski Likes The Midwest

from the New York Post,
The Most Loyal Devil may leave New Jersey today, low-balled by Lou Lamoriello when any decent raise would have brought Brian Rafalski to Newark.
"It appears I'll be reaching free agency," Rafalski told The Post yesterday. "I'm interested at this point to see what happens and how much interest there is out there."...
"Detroit's my hometown, and the Midwest is the area I grew up in, so I'm very comfortable there as far as lifestyle goes," Rafalski said. "At the same time, I have friends and family in many places."

Posible Destinations

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Thomas Golisano spent approximately $93 million of his own money in three separate failed attempts at becoming governor of New York, but he's unwilling to make a representative offer to retain either Chris Drury or Daniel Briere, co-captains of the NHL's Presidents' Trophy winners.
So how much longer, exactly, will it be before the small-market owners blame the $50.3 million salary cap for their woes?
With that out of the way, Larry tells us…
GM Garth Snow is expected to put in a call to Aaron Miller, the capable veteran defenseman who won't be returning to LA, but who could be a nice, price-appropriate fit for a contender.
The Penguins have prioritized signing Hannan, but if his number hits $6 million, it could get dicey. In that case, the Kings, Stuart's long-expected destination, could get involved with Hannan. The Canucks might have interest in Kariya, but only short-term and at a discount.

Rumors from the Mainstream Press
by Alanah McGinley on 07/01/07 at 04:12 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Bruce Garrioch at Sun Media,
RYAN SMYTH: As many as 10 teams—including Dallas, Detroit, Anaheim, San Jose, the New York Rangers, Edmonton, Ottawa and Toronto—are expected to make a pitch for Smyth, who has turned down a four-year, $25-million offer to re-sign with the Islanders. The belief is Smyth wouldn't mind playing in Toronto, giving the Leafs a good shot at him for possibly $5.5 million per season. [...]
SCOTT GOMEZ: The Rangers are going to go hard after the former member of the archrival Devils…
more… *including rumors about Chris Drury and Daniel Briere.
(note: interesting how players are always supposed to be considering playing for less money if they can go to the Leafs…)
More on the NY Rangers interest in Gomez & Drury, plus Nylander negotiations, from The Journal News,
With the start of free agency at noon, the Rangers are intent on adding the pieces that can propel them toward a serious Cup run next spring. Foremost on that list is ensuring greater depth at center, with the team believed to be targeting Buffalo's Chris Drury or the Devils' Scott Gomez.
According to one report, a possibility also exists that the team will target both free-agent centers if its efforts to re-sign their own top-line center, Michael Nylander, fail.

Big Money Teams Are Back
by Paul on 06/30/07 at 08:53 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Al Strachan at Fox Sports,
Realistically, not all clubs are going to hit the cap. Still, all it would take is an average of $45 million, a figure certainly not out of the realm of possibility, and even before the dust from the lockout has settled the whole exercise is shown to be a travesty.
To those of you who sense some sort of déjà vu in that $45-million number, perhaps it's because that's the figure Bettman turned down when he shut down the game.
However, all that is irrelevant now and the free agents are happy for it. So are the big-money teams.
They can get back to doing the kind of spending they were doing before the lockout.

from MontrealCanadiens.com,
As for Sheldon Souray - the biggest fish in the free agent pool among defensemen this summer – his Canadiens' dressing room stall remains intact, and Habs fans hope it stays that way.
With Gainey and the Canadiens holding exclusive negotiations rights with Souray until noon on July 1, NHL teams licking their chops waiting to speak to the All-Star defenseman may want to hold off a little while longer before stitching Sheldon's name to their jersey.

I have been receiving your newspaper since March of 2014. I see there are a lot of transwomen who write from California Prisons. The stories of abuse by inmates and staff seem to never end. The prison I am at in California is well known for transwomen since the early 80′s. Of which at the time there was around 200 or so of us. At the present this prison has around 10. With such a low number we are truly outcasts in every way here.
My message is simple to the California transwomen in prison. We need to put focus on our respect and medical needs before we can attempt to tackle issues like sex changes, make-up, and female clothes. We have the right to be respected and to receive proper medical treatment. I know the 602 process is difficult. But in order to make a change, the paperwork is the proper way to begin. If staff is disrespecting you and you feel you aren't receiving the medical care you should have, then do a 602. And follow it to the diction. The only way to change, is all of the transwomen STAND TOGETHER with the 602's. And then flood the courts with the lawsuits. Contact members of the assembly, the newspapers, and news stations. We can only achieve greatness if we set an example. There are enough transwomen in California prisons to make a difference and changes. SO get busy. I love you all.
Own where you are in life!
Lisa, California
Black and Pink,
Foremost I'd like to send my love out to all my LGBTQ family. My name is Robin, and I've been reading the Black and Pink newsletter for over a year. I've seen beautiful letters of love, tearful letters of loneliness and heartbreak. I've viewed letters of heart crushing atrocities committed against my people, I've seen outstanding artwork and poetry from talented people. I've got to witness my family come together to Fight against the prison administration to try to right wrong doings, as in the case of Jenni from California. I've viewed articles of LGBTQ standing up to the "powers that be" that try to make laws and prison policies to take away our identity, and every story, article, poetry, and piece of artwork touches my heart. I have the most beautiful family. They may try to put us down, but we will always rise and overcome. (If you get to read this letter,) every time someone tries to put you down, every time you feel lost or forgotten, remember that you are never alone, you have a family that is there for you. Pick up a pen and write a letter, draw a picture or write a poem and all your LGBTQA Black & Pink family will be with you in heart and spirit.
My love is always with you,
Robin, New York
Dear Black & Pink,
My name is Ray, I'm a 32-year-old Black bisexual male, and I'm proud of what I am and what I stand for. I am also proud of Monica Jones and Jennifer (BabyGirl) as well. I truly believe that Monica and Jennifer are both displaying an enormous amount of Courage, Wisdom, Beauty and Strength just by doing the things they are doing and by sayin' the things they are saying.
I am applauding Monica Jones because I read the article in the May 2014 issue about Monica Jones being arrested for "walking while Trans." I personally believe that they didn't convict Monica simple because of "manifesting prostitution," I believe in my heart that they convicted her because she is a transgender woman and they don't want to take the time to understand just who she is or what she believes in. But through it all I believe that she will stand strong because I don't have to know her just to know that like many other transgender women, Monica is strong and courageous as well.
And I read about Jennifer's Advocacy campaign and if I'm correct, I believe Gandhi once said, "Be the change that you want to see in the world," and the reason why I'm applauding you is because that is what you are being. Jennifer, whether you know this or not, your Advocacy Campaign gives faith and hope to many people who wake up in the morning without any faith and hope. Not only are you an inspiration to transgender women in California, but you are also a huge inspiration to the LGBQ/T community all over the world.
I hope the Black & Pink Newspaper continues to grow and prosper. I hope the California Prison Chapter continues to grow and prosper. And Jennifer and Monica, I hope that your courage, your wisdom, your beauty, and your strength continues to grow and prosper.
You in the Black & Pink family matter because ALL of you are beautiful inside and out.
Roy, Texas
Dear Black & Pink,
And to all my brothers and sisters that's in the struggle.
Once again this is Ms. Jazzie. Getting at my LGBTQ family with some advice on relationships in prison. I been in prison for about 17 ½ years, and in this time, I had my share of bad relationships. But I refuse to have anybody treat me less than the queen that I am. I don't care how much money you got or you the baddest or how fine you are, one thing I will not tolerate, and that is the hitting shit!! I don't play that at all. Period!! You're going to respect me and I'm going to respect you.
I know that a lot of the girls become a victim, because of their financial status. And with no outside support, I know that it can be hard. Just because a man take care of you, it doesn't give him the right to put his hands on you. I have seen girls put up with this bullshit because they feel there's nowhere else to go. I myself love to have the best of everything and my man make that happen. And I'm always willing to help the girls out. Yes I been blessed to have a good husband, who care and truly love me, but he also encourages me to do for myself. Just because my people on the outside left me for dead, that is not an excuse to feel sorry for myself, and not to try to better myself.
So I'm letting all my LGBTQ family know that it feels good to be independent. And men love that. Don't let no man control you. So I challenge my LGBTQ family that's behind these wall, and in the free world, to dig deep within yourself to find the willpower to move forward no matter how hard it get. Instead of putting your sister down, pick her up. I truly believe that we can make a difference, but we must stick together. I want the girls to know that they are special and deserve to get treated no less than the queen she is. Walk with pride, purpose, and dignity. Brothers and & Sisters let's work together so no one is abused physically & mentally. I want you to be happy and make sure the person you with makes you happy, and makes you feel like the woman or man you are. Don't limit yourself and don't mess up a good thing once you find it. Well, that's all for now. So stay strong and keep your head up.
I love you. Your sister in the struggle 4 life,
Ms. Jazzie, California
Corporate Crime vs Street Crime
Greetings of peace and love and may this letter find you richly spiritually blessed. I'm writing to share what I believe all of our brothers and sisters of Black & Pink and society at large needs to know: the difference between street crime vs corporate crime and the truth.
We need to reassess our understanding of crime and ask why it is that corporate crime advances virtually unhindered, while localized "street crime" has become such an obsession for so many. The answer lies somewhere in the mixed realm of our own hidden fears as a society and our sense of powerlessness in the face of crime, and the immense power of vested interests who gain so much from the current situation.
The Oxford English Dictionary gives a three-part definition for the word "crime." It is an act 1) punishable by law, 2) as being forbidden by statute, or 3) injurious to the public welfare.
As a society we focus almost exclusively on the first and second definitions, neglecting the third. Crimes are written into law at any given point in time by governments through congress, legislature, assemblies, decrees, or proclamations. Certain actions (for example traffic offenses) are made unlawful in order to protect what politicians perceive to be the interests of the common good, or else to protect and advance their own interests and those of their supporters. Thus, what may be a crime in one country, for example prostitution or cannabis (pot) smoking, may not be a crime in another.
The first two definitions do not demand a moral underpinning, though many laws and statutes obviously have a moral dimension. It is the third definition of crime as being "an act injurious to the public welfare" that implies a moral basis. The words demand a moral evaluation as to what constitutes public welfare or common good. This is precisely the point at issue in many areas involving corporate crime.
Corporate crime is endemic the world over. Very few are ever held responsible for its devastating effects. It reaches into virtually every aspect of our lives, yet so widespread is its influence, we are often unaware of its presence. It hits us in so many ways: from the added on costs in our supermarket to the pollutants in the air we breathe, from the hidden costs of our banking and financial systems to the cost of medicines we take for our illnesses. The tentacles of corporate crime touch all these areas and many more.
Yet we rarely speak of it, read of it, or hear of it for any sustained period. We have become totally preoccupied with individual "street crime," although corporate violence and crime inflict far more damage on society than all the street crime combined. Just one major tobacco company, for example, arguably kills and injures more people than all the street criminals put together. Public corruption (Wall Street) pollution (BP Oil), procurement fraud, financial fraud, and occupational homicide inflict incredibly serious damage on workers, consumers, citizens, and the environment. So, why on earth is our criminal justice system geared to sifting the poor and minor nonviolent offenders, pretending it is dealing with crime and social harm, when all the major harm is being done by the hidden rulers of our world, the multinational corporations?
A major reason for this is the consistent presentation by the media of crime as being primarily personal. Through newspapers, radio, the internet, and especially tabloid talk shows, and in news and entertainment on television (Cops, America's Most Wanted, etc.) crime is deliberately portrayed in manageable portions of murder, home invasions, muggings, burglaries, and theft, allowing the age-old notion of scapegoat full rein. We all sit back in our chairs and like to see the "bad guys" caught.
The public perception of crime is largely shaped by corporate media and tabloid television, which focus overwhelmingly on street crime, illegal drug use, robberies, and theft. If these media devoted proportionate time to the corporate muggings and homicides that are carried out through occupational accidents and starvation wages like at Wal Mart, public perceptions would shift to reflect reality more accurately. This will never happen. The same big business people who perpetuate corporate crime control the media through colossal advertising budgets, cross-directorship and ownership.
Yet all over the world the politicians and this same media have foisted upon the public the notion that major welfare (SSI) payments to the unemployed, the sick, the injured, the hungry, and the homeless are unaffordable (but America has trillions of dollars for war) because they cost too much. Beneficiaries are often presented as parasites preying off public funds. Benefit fraud is almost a cause celebre. People everywhere are being made to work for their welfare/SSI money as if they were responsible for their own plight. Yet, for example, tax breaks and handouts (bailouts & corporate welfare) for the rich 1% of the nation ($600 billion) consume three times the amount that is spent on the poor through benefits ($200 billion). Legal it may well be, but morally, this is big crime!

I hope this note finds you as well as possible. It's hard to believe it's already November. Also, here is another apology for our slow moving on newspaper things. We are always trying to figure out how to be most effectively on top of that. I appreciate that folks constantly hold us accountable and remind us that you depend on our newspaper for connection. It is our responsibility to get it out to you, thank you for bearing with us as we do our best.
I want to thank everyone who has sent in their survey thus far. We have already received nearly 900 surveys! It is pretty incredible. You will notice that it is printed again this month. Please do not fill out the survey more than once. We are tracking the surveys coming in, so we won't add your name into the raffle or data again, so remember to only send in one survey. Thank you for being so generous with your responses. We are very slowly going through the surveys and look forward to having some kind of real assessment of the information we are getting from you.
I have been looking at some of the responses, just getting a brief look at some of what you have to say. One of the questions asks, "What is your vision of a world without prisons?" I have noticed that many of the responses include something that suggests we must have prisons. Some responses say that there are some terrible people you have met in prison that must be locked up. Others say that we need some way of punishing people. I have also read some that say if we do not lock people up then there will be chaos and people will just kill each other in the street. Reading these responses makes me think we need to print some more things in the paper about what abolition is and why we believe in transformative justice.
Not all of the responses have suggested we need prisons. One of the responses said it would be like a world full of rainbows and unicorns. Others have suggested that it would mean we are actually offering real rehabilitation. Some have suggested that it would mean freedom not only for themselves but for their family and friends. A few have written about the need to create real justice system that looks at healing both for those who have caused harm and those who have been harmed.
One of the long term goals of Black and Pink is to create a world free from prisons. We do not imagine that this is going to happen over night. It will be a process that involves all people. It will be a process that follows the lead of people of color, LGBTQ people, sex workers, prisoners, ex-prisoners, as well as survivors of harm. Traditionally the goals of abolition are broken up into steps. This is called the "attrition model." In this model the work towards abolition includes a moratorium on all prison and jail construction, meaning no more building additional cells on an existing prison/jail and no building new prisons/jails. Another part of the model is "decarceration." Decarceration is the process of getting people out of prison. When we say we want to repeal mandatory minimum sentences and let people out of prison, that is a decarceration effort. When we say we want to end Life Without Parole sentences and let people out, that is a decarceration effort. When we fight to stop life long civil commitments, that is a decarceration effort. The third part of the attrition model is "excarceration." Excarceration is the practice of NOT putting people in prison. Excarceration is similar to decriminalization, making things no longer illegal (like sex work or drugs). Excarceration, however, also includes creating new practices for dealing with harm in truly justice centered ways. When someone does commit violence, when someone does sexually assault or murder someone, what are we going to do? This is when we turn to the ideas of transformative justice and restorative justice that we have printed in previous issues of the paper. This is when we create new and creative ways of getting people to take responsibility for the harm they have caused and also begin creating practices that allow those who have been harmed to be cared for. This is a big cultural change we are fighting for. We are trying to get away from punishment and simply throwing people away. We want to transform our culture into one that values all lives and sees no one as disposable. The belief that we can create a liberated world without prisons is why I end my note the same way each month because once there were no prisons, that day will come again.
In loving solidarity,

November Family Dinner Thursday November 20th from 7pm-9pm at the City School (614 Columbia Rd.)
Black and Pink continues to participate in the Boston Coalition for Police Accountability. We spoke at a kickoff rally for the coalition where we announced our intention to support work around community power building against racist policing, specifically through know your rights trainings, court support, and cop watch.
Black and Pink resources are featured in the new website for the Get Yr Rights website, which is a network convened by BreakOUT and Streetwise and Safe that aims to connect and share resources among LGBTQ youth across the country who are doing know-your-rights work around the prison industrial complex. We contributed a school to prison pipeline workshop, as well as a Know Your Rights training for LGBTQ youth of color that we did in collaboration with Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders at the Hispanic Black Gay Coalition's third annual youth empowerment conference this past October.
Jason officiated the memorial service for Bernard Baran, a gay man who was falsely accused of child sexual abuse and incarcerated for 25 years. He died this year after being free from incarceration for 8 years.
We conducted an LGBTQ 101 training for a re-entry organization in Boston called SPAN.
This month we began providing court support and ongoing support for one new person. Another of our members for whom we have been providing ongoing court support and advocacy has had her GPS bracelet removed and is no longer on curfew! Congratulations!]]>

- Black and Pink organizing/services are primarily available to people who live within 15 miles of Boston. If individuals residing in Suffolk or Middlesex counties have cases outside the county, we can accompany them to their court dates.
- Black and Pink does not have strict confidentiality requirements. We are an organizing effort rather than a social service organization. Our efforts are focused on building the power of LGBTQ people who experience criminalization. We do, however, respect that there are important confidentiality requirements between clients and their lawyers.
- Black and Pink has capacity limitations. Each request for support will be assessed based on current capacity.
The function of Black and Pink's efforts with court-involved LGBTQ people is to strengthen the capacity of people to become change agents in their own lives and within social justice movements.

It is tempting, because we are so socially conditioned in this way, to project our anger and resistance onto an individual attacker. We can think that a person who commits such heinous acts must be punished by incarceration or even death, but we know that in the long run that will only create more damaged families and social division. The police, whom we normally live in fear of, suddenly seem like the only option for us to achieve any sort of justice. But this facade of justice, even when achieved, is simply violence created by the state and no amount or kind of violence will help our communities heal. We also believe that relying on and becoming parts of law enforcement's surveillance network only serves to create more mistrust and more criminalization. Fostering a culture of calling 911 to solve our community's problems will inevitably come back to hurt us with every person who calls the cops on us for criminalized behavior like self defense, prostitution, or disorderly conduct. Mass incarceration is one of the greatest factors eroding communities around the nation, especially communities of color, as whole generations are locked away while their loved ones have to shoulder more responsibilities in their absence. And, as we have seen in communities like Chelsea and Williamsburg, it abets the recent gentrifiers' abilities to uproot communities by locking up those they cannot price out of the neighborhood.
Black & Pink NYC firmly believes in principles such as radical harm reduction, restorative and economic justice, and community engagement as sustainable methods of promoting change in our communities. Unfortunately as long as a violent "justice" system that incarcerates and kills us continues to be upheld, we won't see a complete cessation of violence against us. However, there are alternatives for us to seek justice in struggles within the community as practiced by groups in New York City like Audre Lorde Project, Sylvia Rivera Law Project, Streetwise & Safe, and FIERCE. These organizations promote models of both healing for survivors and education and accountability for the communities that have failed them by facilitating or allowing the homophobic and transphobic violence, whether from neighborhood residents or the police state. We hope in this time of great fear and righteous fury, that we can hold these emotions close to our hearts but not let them sway us into collaboration with the prison system that is one of the foremost perpetrators of violence against us.

Hello to all of our community! I have over the past couple of months gotten my hands on copies of the latest Black 'n' Pink issues. Maybe it's the fact that I was raised in a religious household that this life confuses me daily. I don't understand but thanks to Black 'n' Pink along with a counselor that I am in contact with, I have more compassion.
I was raised where "Gay" was wrong for me because that is not what God wants for me and I need to put those temptations behind me. It was a battle, it was a struggle, I began dating women with Strong Personalities and very controlling, making myself turn into a victim of spousal abuse due to me "not being a man." Misery became a way of life because it was easier than admitting that I love men.
I'm not good at expressing myself, it's easier to be what others want me to be than me just being me. I have never honestly come out of the "closet." Hell no, I have been thrown out of it by everyone who meets me. They treat me differently. My good friend/boyfriend told me "it's pretty hard to deny 'Walker' you have neon lights, a billboard and fairy dust that parades around you, sorry Hun!" Sadly that's me trying not to be gay, but to be the good Christian man following the Bible as my family expects of me. So I guess I'm Gay and that is the me that I need to learn to love. I'm not sure why I am writing but this is me finally deciding to open up to who I am.
I have been awful to the people of my "family," never associating with them, why is this? I need help building the true confidence to be real with me and to be healthy for me. Please help me to just be comfortable with who I am. I want to learn to be more supportive of me and the community.
I love the support that you give to us with your newspaper and thank you for giving us an outlet for our struggles and have unity between the community. There seems to be so much to take in when we choose to be real with who we are and to finally seek support from like individuals that we can find as becoming our "new" family. Thank you for finding your way into my life.
Walker, Idaho
Dear Black and Pink Brothers and Sisters:
As-salamu alaykum (Peace Be Upon You)! First let me say I am proud of you all for standing up for what you believe in. And I love every single one of you for that! Thank you all.
My name is Naji and I am a 48-year-old Muslim who is bisexual. I enjoy Black and Pink so much that I sent it to my daughters who are lesbian, as well and to my friend Billie. There is no doubt in my mind they are enjoying the paper as much as I have.
Anyhow, the reason I am writing is because of Teddy in Iowa. Teddy, "No One" has the right to force anyone to have sex with them! I don't care if it's in prison or on the streets! Because of this you have the right to sue 'IDOC' for not protecting you from other inmates. So, I advise you to check your policy dealing with PREA, and your local laws, as well as Federal laws about your rights to be safe from staff and inmates. I would bet my top dollar someone there has Prison Legal News as well as Jailhouse Lawyer's Handbook.
People, you need to understand and know your rights. Please do not expect to be treated fairly. All DOCs are their own worst enemy. Understand your two issues are 'Conditions of Confinement' and 'Safety.' But you must put in 'Grievances,' or your case will be dismissed before you even get started. I don't like the way DOC's lawyers will behave. God please forgive me, but you may have to backdate your grievance. Anyhow, you must show the courts you tried to fix the issue with the prison officials first!
Also look to see if your prison has a Hotline. Like the one here in Arizona. Here in Arizona it's completely anonymous and free. If I am correct all states must have something similar to the one we have. If not ask the Attorney General of your state if they plan on starting one. Use Arizona's as an example. People don't be afraid to tell your Attorney General about issues like this in your prison system. Tell the media about the conditions within your prison.
Teddy, I am glad you're alive to tell your story. And I am sorry that you're having to go through this situation. You can still be the advocate for those in your state. Again, I thank you for telling us about your situation. If I were there I would give you all the help in the world.
Anthony, Arizona
Dear B&P family!
First of all, sorry for taking so long for helping. I really appreciated receiving a Birthday Letter. It was the only one I received this year.
Between lockdowns and property searches I was unable to obtain postage and writing supplies.
I've already passed the March Newspaper on to someone else, so I can't remember who wrote about HIV+ people having uninformed and unsafe sex with HIV- people.
I have been HIV+ officially since February 1988, unofficially since 1986. There is controversy as to whom and who I was infected by. Yet, that does not matter. No matter who gave me this virus, intentionally or not, I share the responsibility. I was the one who had unprotected sex, in a very high risk environment, for several years. I gave no thought of safe sex. Honestly, I never had a clue there was such a thing.
Yes, it is very wrong for someone who has HIV/AIDS to have unprotected sex, especially without informing their partner. Yet you must remember, sex with another person requires two people. Do not take it for granted your potential partner is being open and honest. Protect yourself, first and foremost. Another thing, ask your partner.
Some of us get caught up in the moment. You do not think of asking "Are you HIV positive?" before you drop your pants. For those of us who are positive, one way to remove the stigma: be honest, be open, be willing to answer questions and lead by example. We must show others that the HIV/AIDS virus does not make the person. How we handle our responsibility of handling the virus is what makes us who we are. I wish also to send a small shout out to Freaky and Angel in Texas prisons. All my love to all my family, brothers and sisters in and out of prison. Stay strong, stay safe and keep up the good fight always.
-Marvin "Cliff," Texas
Dear Black & Pink Family,
Hello everyone, especially all my incarcerated sisters out there. My name is Lennea and I am currently in the Federal System. I had transitioned in 2002 and lived as my gender of choice (i.e. female) until I was incarcerated in February 2010. I was 40 years old when I had finally transitioned and thought it was the hardest thing I had ever done but with the greatest reward… My true happiness. Then I came to prison and realized transitioning in the 'Real World' wasn't near as hard as I thought.
I have been incarcerated for four years and have battled with the system (and still do) and mostly won all battles. I am on the complete medical protocol treatment and have been since 2011. I have been issued bras and panties, they allowed me to purchase a bathrobe from the women's facility, and really, staff and administration have been very supportive considering the institution is in the southern Bible Belt.
I will write again as I have more news. In exiting, I will say that change is hard but well worth the fight, pick up your pens, file everything you can and all items possible to our cause.
Love Always,
Lennea, Federal System Girl
Hello to all the people of Black & Pink Newspaper.
I am proud that others are out there fighting the fight against the enemies that we face as a LGBTQI community. Don't ever give up hope, faith and love for each other!!!
I recently have come out of the restrictive housing unit (RHU) of this institution that I am currently housed, for fighting against a man that "thought" he could "punk out" a transwoman, who happened to be my best friend and cellmate. As both of us are transwomen on hormones, we took justice in our hands that day, and gave him a dose of reality- "we will NOT allow a hater to intimidate us because we're labeled as beautiful women and weak!" I believe that he got the message. My cellmate and I received a disciplinary offense report (DOR) for battery. The guy that we defended ourselves from received a DOR for harassment, even though he had instigated the fight and punched me- Go figure!
The day after we had our brief "victory," the other men in this institution gave us "props" for what we did that day. It was a sense of accomplishment, relief, success, etc. I strongly advise others that violence is NOT the answer! Nor do I condone it, but I will not stand around and watch another one of my family members of the LGBTQI community be harassed, hurt, or bullied for any reason regarding their sexual preference or identity. I vowed that after being abused while in prison because I am a transwoman, I will not stand and watch this hurt and disgust continue, so as long as I have a breath in my body! As of to date me and my cellmate have had no further problems.
It is very hard being a transwoman in prison, and I know other transwomen know exactly what I am talking about. Always remember my fellow trans, gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersex, queer friends that WE are who we are for a reason, we have been chosen to experience life as we are because we are strong, beautiful, loving and intelligent.
Live and let live!
Adree, Idaho

GET READY!!! A Decade of Black & Pink! One year from now! We will be raising funds to bring formerly incarcerated LGBTQ folks, 2 people from each chapter, and covering other costs. This next year will include lots of lead up information and fundraising. Get in touch if you want to be involved in any way. We will have a Friday night celebration and then a weekend of strategizing, caucusing, loving each other, grieving, writing to our loved ones inside, workshops, learning, and strengthening the movement towards abolition. This gathering will take place on October 16th, 2015, in Boston, MA, location TBA.
Next month, on November 14th, Jason will be participating in the Deliberate Resistance: LGBT Rights 20 Years After Farmer vs. Brennan. He will be part of the lunch keynote, participating in a dialogue with CeCe McDonald! The event is free and open to the public, and you can register here.
Black and Pink Boston continues to participate in the new Boston Coalition for Police Accountability in collaboration with Youth Against Mass Incarceration and the ACLU of Massachusetts. We will be helping organize cop watch, court support, and know-your-rights trainings, while also pushing for institutional change such as mandatory body cameras for Massachusetts police and increased measures for community oversight on police actions.
Responses to our national Black and Pink incarcerated membership survey are starting to roll in! We have gotten over 300 surveys in two weeks! Boston volunteers should be on the lookout for opportunities to help with data entry for the surveys. We want to thank the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City for sharing our survey with their incarcerated membership. Documenting the realities of LGBTQ and HIV+ prisoners is part of telling our truth, practicing resistance, and building community between prisoners and the "free world." Looking forward to sharing the findings with you all in the near future!
Our workshop at the Hispanic Black Gay Coalition's Youth Empowerment Conference this month was a great success! We partnered with Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders to offer a know-your-rights workshop for LGBTQ youth of color dealing with police interactions. We are looking forward to working with GLAD in the future to offer this workshop in a wider variety of community settings and continuing to tie it in to the work of the national Get Yr Rights network!
Weekly volunteer drop in (formerly known as mail processing): Every Sunday from 1pm-4pm at Make Shift Boston (549 Columbus Ave).
Family Dinner: TBA

I hope this note finds you as well as possible. I am excited to begin getting surveys from you all. The wisdom you share with us and the information you give will help us strengthen our work. It will also help us tell the truth about what it is like for LGBTQ people in prison. Thank you for your willingness to share with us.
As October begins I am focusing my attention towards the end of the month, October 22nd is National Day of Protest Against Police Brutality, and Repression. This is a day that has been organized every year by grassroots movement activists since 1996. The purpose is to act as a reminder that the police cause great harm to many communities across the country. In particular, it is becoming common knowledge that police or other security officers kill a Black person in the US every 28 hours. According to their mission statement, the" National Day of Protest aims to bring forward a powerful, visible, national protest against police brutality and the criminalization of a generation. It aims to expose the state's repressive program. It aims to bring forward those most directly under the gun of Police Brutality AND to also reach into all parts of the society–bringing forward others to stand in the fight against this official brutality. And the National Day of Protest aims to strengthen the peoples' organized capacity for resistance." Do you remember your first interaction with the police when you were on the street? Do you remember the police who arrested you before you got locked away from the people you care about? Can you imagine what it would look like if there was real justice rather than trigger happy cops on the street?
The reality of police brutality has gotten more attention lately. Since the police shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO there has been more open conversation about police violence. Yet, as we wrote in last month's newspaper, Michael Brown is sadly one of many, many names. Did you know that today's police are the descendants of "Slave Patrols"? The original police in the United States existed for the purpose of making sure that anyone who escaped slavery was caught and returned to the white slave owners. Over time these bands of men were given more power and eventually deputized by the government. It is no surprise, then, that police today continue this legacy of racism. These same groups of men that rounded up people who escaped slavery also targeted white indentured servants who similarly fled their masters. The role of these early police was to keep poor white people and enslaved Black people under the thumb of white land owning men. Really, things have not changed all that much.
I think about this history a lot when I see organizations like G.O.A.L (Gay Officers Action League). Kuwasi Balagoon, a political prisoner who died of AIDS related illness in December 1986 wrote," When a gay group protests lack of police protection, by making an alliance with police to form a gay taskforce, they ain't making a stand against the system they are joining it. Putting more power in the hands of those who attack them for being what they are in the first place." This is why it is so important that Black and Pink continues our work. Not only so that we can support LGBTQ prisoners but so that we can remind LGBTQ communities in the "free world" focused on real liberation. We keep this fight going knowing that once there were no prisons, that day will come again.
In loving solidarity,

That annoying comment might be more than spam telling visitors how to solve their intimacy issues, or how to make easy money at home. Instead, it may be malicious code that could hijack your site, lock you out completely, and even take over your server as a whole -- a nightmare for larger companies that store more than a simple webpage on their servers.
Fortunately, the bug, discovered by Finnish IT security company Klikki Oy, was reported to WordPress months before being made public, and security patches are already being automatically (no pun intended) deployed. The bug affects an estimated 86 percent of WordPress sites (those running any unpatched version of WordPress 3 -- version 4.0, which was released in September, are not affected). The exploit uses text input fields, such as the enabled-by-default blog comments feature, to deploy malicious code.

ACI`s World Elastomer Summit 2013 will provide in depth analysis of today fundamental shift of global C4 olefins and elastomers markets. Globally, trade patterns for butadiene and related products will continue to shift as production of end-use products relocate to developing countries, mainly to China.
The emergence of China and the rest of the developing world as significant players in the automotive markets is causing much of the rapid demand growth for Butadiene and its derivatives.
