New Orleans Considered Model for Ending Veteran Homelessness
- February 5, 2015
- comments: 0
New Orleans appears to have set a high bar for eliminating homelessness among veterans when it announced last month that it had gone a step beyond ending chronic homelessness. The city said it had reached a point at which it could ensure "every homeless veteran who can be located is placed in permanent housing or in temporary housing with an identified permanent housing placement" within 30 days. It achieved a "zero" level of veteran homelessness by relying on a "housing first" approach, which emphasizes moving the homeless into permanent housing quickly even if it means lowering the barriers to entry …

How to plant the bitter melon
Bitter Melon is a high yield plants, which have a well-developed root system,more lateral root, fouds of fertile and avoid waterlogging; fonds of light and intolerant to heat. 3 ways for sowing the bitter melon: grafting/direct sowing/transplainting.
The instruction as below:
1.Direct sowing or Transplanting
1.1.: Sowing----For Spring sowing, it unified in mid-late Feb. The seedling is cultured with nutrient pot, one seed per hole. After sowing, cover he low tunnel with thin nylon film. The seedling stage lasts for about 20days normally. The seedlings can be transplanted when they've grown out 2-3 pieces of main leaves. For Autumn sowing, it is usually arranged in late July to Aug.
We prefer the way of transplant.
1.2.: Preparation and Disinfection of nutrient soil
Breaken the dry land soil or pond scum soil, put the proper amount of the finished pig or cattle manure, and also a little compound fertilier, approximately 100g per 50KGS soil. Mixed them equally, pack the soil into bags, drenching the bags by 800-1000 times carbendazol or 400 times 50% Dexon powder one by one
As the shell of the bitter melon's seed is thick and contain Wax, can't absorb water quickly, the method of sprouting as below:
*. Soaking the seeds in 50-60 centigrade degree water for 10-15 minutes, stiring while soaking untill the water's temperature reach the room's temperature, take it out 10-12 hours later
*. Get the seeds under the temperature 25-30 centigrade degree for pregermination for 48 hours, the seeds begin to germinate slowly, the speed depends on the room's temperature. (One thing should be paid attention: the mucus on the shell surface of the seeds must be cleared by clear water everyday, prevent the mildewing and rotting, improve the germination environments before germination)
*.After germination, broadcast the seeds to the seedbed or nutrient pot, watering timely till the seedlings come up totally.

Freshman Larisa Petakoff tossed a complete-game shutout vs. Southern Utah.
March 8, 2014
CSU-Southern Utah Stats | CSU-Dayton Stats | Tournament Central
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A day after snow canceled the first day of the Colorado State Classic, the Rams were greeted by blue skies and sunshine on Saturday. Playing in front of its home fans for the first time this season, Colorado State shut out Southern Utah before falling to Dayton.
Colorado State 8, Southern Utah 0
Leading 1-0, CSU (9-4) blew the game open with a six-run second inning. With one out, the Rams loaded the bases with a pair of walks sandwiched between a base hit. The first run of the inning came when Kendal Butterfield was hit by a pitch. Freshman Haley Hutton followed with a two-run single, and after an Ashlie Ortega walk, Danielle Wikre doubled down the left-field line, clearing the bases.
Leading 7-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Alysa Greckel doubled to left, scoring Chelsea Biglow to end the game via mercy rule.
"All around, we were ready to go," Head Coach Jen Fisher said. "It was great to see production from so many people. I think they were excited to play in front of their home fans, and get back on the field after so many cancelations."
Five different Rams drove in a run, including Wikre and Hutton with three and two, respectively. Eight players recorded hits.
In the circle, freshman Larisa Petakoff earned her second collegiate victory, tossing a complete-game shutout. Petakoff allowed just three base runners, striking out one.
"Larisa is a tiger, she's a fighter," Fisher said. "She wants the ball, and she did a really nice job. She doesn't act like a freshman. She's intense but calm, and I'm so proud of her."
Dayton 10, Colorado State 7
Dayton took an early 9-0 lead – scoring five times in the second and four times in the third – and despite a late rally, it was too much to overcome.
Following the Flyers' big lead, CSU scored in four consecutive innings, including three in the third. Shae Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with 3 RBI and a run scored. Jaelyn Manzanares drove in two.
Molly Randle took the loss, tossing two and two-third s of an inning.
Dayton was effective offensively, pounding out 14 hits, but CSU also wasn't as efficient defensively as Fisher would have liked.
"Dayton hit the ball especially well," Fisher said, "but there are some things we could have done, like taking care of the ball. I think effort-wise we were there – we were prepared and ready to go – we just need to execute better."
After one day of competition, all four teams hold 1-1 records. Action will continue Sunday at 9 a.m. CSU will have a rematch against Dayton at 11:15, and will play Nebraska Omaha at 1:30. Live stats can be tracked here.
"With Dayton we have to come out and be a little more patient," Fisher said. "We also have to make the pitchers work a little more. Nebraska Omaha is a tough squad and scrappy. We want to play those types of teams because the more we play them the more prepared we'll be for conference."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Warface closed beta opens ahead of full launch in spring
Trion Worlds and Crytek have kicked first-person shooter Warface into gear, announcing that the free-to-play game's servers are now operational for the closed beta. Amusingly, the "social entertainment platform" powering Warface has literally been named GFACE. Might as well double down on the branding while they're at it.
Of course, if you weren't previously compelled to sign up for the beta and have since had a change of heart, it is not too late to become registered. The game doesn't launch until spring 2013, so there's plenty of time. I'd be curious to see how the monetization has taken form.

Superior thyroid as the first line of defense to radioactive exposure.
Protecting Your Thyroid From Radiation http://GetLongevityNow.com Background – updated Mar 2011 According to Medscape, the distribution of potassium iodide tablets in northern Japan underlines the fear of a catastrophic meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant and the massive dispersion of deadly radioactive materials, with health implications for not only that country but also its neighbors. The potassium iodide tablets were given out as protection against iodine-131, a radioisotope of iodine that can cause thyroid cancer. Iodine normally accumulates in the thyroid, so saturating the organ with a safe version by means of the tablets blocks the uptake of the radioactive version. Listen to this audio interview here where David Wolfe talks about the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant and what steps we can take to shield ourselves from harmful radiation. Here's the link again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H65rsTFxLIk Superfoods For A Superior Thyroid An estimated 27 million Americans have thyroid disease, and more than half are undiagnosed. Frequently misunderstood, and too often overlooked and misdiagnosed, thyroid disease affects almost every aspect of health. Taking care of it with good nutrition is a smart step in the right direction. Here are some superfoods that research has shown can nurture a healthy thyroid, as well as some ones to avoid. Coconut and coconut butter, or more commonly known as coconut oil, has been used as a food and medicine since the dawn of history. Unlike saturated animal fats found in meats and dairy products, coconut butter is a raw saturated fat containing fatty acids which the body can metabolize efficiently and convert to energy quickly. Research also shows it helps to regulate thyroid function. Kelp is a stellar, nutrient-dense sea vegetable. It is also known as Laminaria and contains a natural substance that enhances flavor and tenderizes. Kelp works as a blood purifier, and promotes adrenal, pituitary and thyroid health. Its natural iodine may help normalize thyroid-related disorders, like overweight, and lymph system congestion. Turkey is one of the leanest protein foods and is low in calories, making it an excellent healthy food choice. Turkey also contains selenium which has been shown to inhibit cancer development, improve the immune system, and aid in the metabolism of our thyroid hormone. Thyroid patients should avoid the consumption of goitrogens, substances that suppress the function of the thyroid gland, and which can also cause an enlargement of the thyroid. Goitrogens are in foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, mustard, kale, turnips, and canola oil. Soy and peanuts also include goitrogens and should be avoided. Both copper and iron are so important for thyroid function, so thyroid patients should take time to make sure they're getting enough in their diets. Foods such as organ meats, oysters, clams, crabs, cashews, sunflower seeds, wheat bran cereals, whole- grain products, and cocoa products are all rich in copper. Foods like leafy green vegetables, beans, shellfish, red meat, and poultry are high in iron. Complement your iron intake with adequate amounts of vitamin C from foods such as citrus fruits, red berries, tomatoes, potatoes, and bell peppers to help maximize your body's iron absorption efficiency.

The Sümela Monastery (Greek: Μονή Σουμελά, Turkish: Sümela Manastırı) stands at the foot of a steep cliff facing the Altındere valley in the region of Maçka in Trabzon Province, modern Turkey. Lying at an altitude of approximately 1200 metres, it is a major tourist attraction of Altındere National Park. Founded in the year 386 AD during the reign of the Emperor Theodosius I (375 - 395),[1] legend has it that two priests undertook the founding of the monastery on the site after having discovered a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary in a cave on the mountain.
Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.Text by Steve Smith.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
It really does pay to attend Centrallia
Every business person in Winnipeg did not attend Centrallia events last week.
And some of those who weren't there probably wished they were for all sorts of different reasons.
One reason would be that just about everyone they spoke to who did attend probably told them how great an event it actually was.
-- Tom Tessier had to have his arm twisted before he agreed to attend. But the founder and president of Winnipeg's Solara Remote Data Delivery, a niche satellite communication device manufacturer, said he probably made a sale worth tens of thousands of dollars to an Algerian air ambulance firm.
-- Harvey Chorney, the vice-president of Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute in Portage la Prairie, said he was blown away.
The non-profit organization can't survive without fee-for-service development work and Chorney said he's got plenty of leads, including some in the U.S. and Europe, in the meetings he had.
-- Robert Hooper of Hooper Containers Inc. is trying to launch a company making a new hybrid shipping container.
He said by attending Centrallia, he got his foot in all sorts of doors he needed to get through.
Several Winnipeg institutions such as the Composites Innovation Centre and the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals hosted tours.
At the least, their respective profiles have been enhanced and important international contacts were made.
Mariette Mulaire is the president of ANIM, the province's bilingual trade agency, which organizes the event. (Last week's Centrallia was the second time it's been held in Winnipeg.)
"There were so many real stories," Mulaire said. "I was shocked with how many people said they actually made deals, because I always told people that deals don't actually get done at the event... that it's the followup that counts."
Centrallia is a weird kind of event, unlike anything else offered in Winnipeg and unlike anything else most of those who registered had ever attended before.
It shares some similarities to trade shows and industry association conventions, except it's a mash-up of all sorts of industries and individuals who are really not connected.
In fact, those who attend are looking to get connected.
The unique and most worthwhile part of the event are the half-hour speed-dating meetings, as many as 14 of them over two days.
An amazing number of people who attended declared afterwards they made great contacts, even though many didn't even know who they were meeting in the first place.
But as pumped as everyone seems to be in the early aftermath, the planning and organizing of the thing is fraught with challenges.
Still a little punch-drunk a few days after the event, Mulaire was calm enough this week to understand it really did work out despite the fact tha scores of people from around the world could not attend because they could not get Canadian visas, many local businesses who said they would attend needed aggressive prodding, and the fact keynote speaker, Malcolm Gladwell, commanded such a high fee, making it a very risky evening for the organizers.
Even after all that, Mulaire said she's pretty certain there will be another Centrallia in 2015.
But she admits she is not looking forward to another round of arm-twisting to get people to register.
Her organization is in the process of transitioning into the secretariat for the new Winnipeg branch of the World Trade Center Association, and that will have some impact on the manner in which the next Centrallia is organized.
It might also have some impact on the manner in which trade-development efforts in Manitoba are co-ordinated.
For instance, one of the reasons for holding Centrallia in the first place is to help get Winnipeg on the international trade map.
But whereas there are plenty of out-bound trade missions led by politicians Manitoba companies can join, there are far fewer inbound ones.
Were there more ongoing international promotion of Manitoba, it might not be so difficult to get people to attend something like Centrallia.
But then again, if that was the case, there might not be such a compelling reason to hold the event in the first place.

Drake Signs With ASCAP
Drake has signed with ASCAP, the company's VP of Rhythm & Soul Membership, Nicole George-Middleton, tells Billboard.
"For me, a big part of making music is getting the opportunity to work with people I love, trust and respect," Drake says. "As an organization run by music creators, ASCAP represents a whole community of kindred spirits. Joining ASCAP was just a natural choice for me because I know my music is in the best possible hands."

Drake is joining a roster that includes his longtime friend and producer, Noah "40" Shebib. He had previously been with BMI.
"We are really excited to build on our long-standing relationship with Drake's team," George-Middleton added. "Working from the beginning with his collaborators Noah '40' Shebib and Boi-1da, it felt only right to have Drake join the ASCAP family."

"We're thrilled to now officially count Drake among our many multi-talented members," ASCAP EVP of Membership Randy Grimmett stated. "This new addition only strengthens ASCAP's reputation as home to the world's greatest songwriters. We can't wait to see what's to come for Drake in the future."
Drake is currently working on his third studio album, Nothing Was the Same. The album's first single, "Started From the Bottom," sits at No. 3 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and at No. 2 on Rap Songs.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Congratulations to Jason Collins on being named to Time magazine's "TIME 100" most influential people in the world and to President Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. The first openly gay active player in the National Basketball Association, Collins is also featured on one of the Time's inside covers of the special issue to be published on April 26, 2014.
On April 23, 2014, Time revealed that Collins has been included among the magazine's eleventh annual "TIME 100" list of the world's most influential people. The profile on Collins is written by Chelsea Clinton, who was his friend and classmate at Stanford University.
Collin's appointment to the President's Council on Fitness, Nutrition, and Sports was announced in a White House press release of April 24, 2014. The press release noted that Collins joined the NBA in 2001, following his graduation from Stanford University, and that he has played for the Washington Wizards, the Boston Celtics, the Atlanta Hawks, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Memphis Grizzlies, and the New Jersey Nets. He currently plays for the Brooklyn Nets.
The press release also notes that Collins is a partner with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), a national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students.
On April 29, 2013, Collins made history as the first professional athlete in a major American team sport to come out while still playing. In the cover story of the May 6, 2013 issue of Sports Illustrated, Collins wrote, "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."
He continued, "I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
"My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons. I've played for six pro teams and have appeared in two NBA Finals. Ever heard of a parlor game called Three Degrees of Jason Collins? If you're in the league, and I haven't been your teammate, I surely have been one of your teammates' teammates. Or one of your teammates' teammates' teammates."
In his wide-ranging essay, Collins recalled that the first relative he came out to was his aunt Teri, a judge in San Francisco. She told him, "I've known you were gay for years." Her casual acceptance encouraged him to come out to other relatives, including a gay uncle, and his twin brother Jarron, also an NBA player.
But, he said, "I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn't even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator."
In the Sports Illustrated essay, Collins also explained the pain he felt in the closet, the toll taken by having to live a lie. He revealed that he made a small gesture of solidarity with the gay community by insisting on wearing the number 98 on his jersey in honor of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in 1998.
Fittingly, when Collins joined the Brooklyn Nets this year, he also was given a jersey with the number 98.
Although Collins was the first active NBA player to come out, former NBA player John Amaechi came out in 2007, four years after his retirement. During his playing career, Amaechi was aware of speculation about his sexual orientation. He even called his homosexuality "an open secret" among sports writers; nevertheless, he did not make any public declaration about it because of possible negative reaction from other players or coaches. "It would be like an alien dropping down from space," he said. "There'd be fear, then panic. They just wouldn't know how to handle it."
News of Collins's announcement, however, prompted almost unanimous praise. President Bill Clinton lauded the player's courage and issued the following statement: "I have known Jason Collins since he was Chelsea's classmate and friend at Stanford. Jason's announcement today is an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community."
He added, "It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities. For so many members of the LGBT community, these simple goals remain elusive. I hope that everyone, particularly Jason's colleagues in the NBA, the media and his many fans extend to him their support and the respect he has earned."
In the video below, Collins speaks of those who have been influential on him. Among them are tennis legend Martina Navratilova.

About the ManufacturerIn the 1970's, Paul, Edmund, Alex, and Steven Peykar first became involved in the carpet and area rug business at the retail level, operating a store in Westbury, Long Island. Those years provided the brothers with truly invaluable experience in understanding the needs, the supply and merchandising issues, that confronted retailers who depended on traditional importers and replenishment strategies.

What can I plant with Brussels Sprouts
My fiance and I bought a home on 2 acres in central FL and I've started a garden and we are building a greenhouse as well. I want to make maximum use of my space so I was wondering what I can plant with brussels sprouts. I've grown them in years past and I know they grow very tall....but what would be a good compliment to them? I did quite a bit of container gardening when I lived in the city, but now I want to grow enough food to freeze and can for my family. Any suggestions for this newby? THANKS!
Yes, as Deborah says, don't plant in FL until summer heat is done. Same here in Socal.
I tend to believe companion planting advice tends to be more anecdote than science, but overall I believe in polycultures over monocultures.
They say alliums are helpful for brassicas. I tend to plant green onions (allium fistulosum) as a cut & come again crop along with other things. They do well as a cool-season crop.
Lettuces get along with lots of crops, and as they do well in partly shady conditions and cooler weather, they might do well in the understory with the brussel sprouts.
In terms of companion planting, I like to think along the lines of niches both in space and in time.
So, in terms of space we can look at tall plants vs, short plants, shallow roots vs. deep roots, etc.
Opportunities in time would be something like sowing very short season crops (such as a baby greens mix) alongside a long-season crop, such as brusell sprouts (120 days). The greens mix will grow quickly and you can start harvesting after a few weeks, gradually thinning the greens as the brussel sprouts need more space.

Unique, sturdy barstools
Loft apt decorator from Atlanta, GA
This is most likely supposed to be a commercial use chair, but I love it for my loft apartment! The chairs are comfortable for sitting, but wouldn't be comfortable enough to have as your dining room chairs in my opinion. The only negative is the color is an industrial flat gray. I wanted mine more shiny, so I just spray painted them with "hammered" silver texture spray paint. Tip: Cover the seat with a book cover/drawer liner adhesive and cut around it with a utility knife. Worked for me! Love them!
Mrs. S from Bristol,RI
Love,love, love these stools! Perfect addition to my kitchen. [...]easy to put together, and very comfortable! Highly recommend!
Great stools
One eared stag from Atlanta – Verified Buyer
Some of the welds on the backs didn't hold up but they work great without the backs.
great stool
Boitson's Restaurant from Kingston, NY – Verified Buyer
[...] Fairly easy to assemble. We spray painted them a dark, metallic grey and they look so much more expensive then they were. Hope they hold up to the bar traffic, I think they will.
Great stools for the price!
HL from Salt Lake City, UT – Verified Buyer
These stools are great especially for the cost. I needed to buy padding for the seat because there is no padding but overall they are great. Very sturdy, with good back for support. I think its perfect for the counter seating for our restaurant. Assembly was easy with the right tools.

We decided to grab a taxi from the airport instead of trying to find it ourselves which was definitely the right thing to do!
The check in staff were friendly and very helpful! The rooms were great-good size! The rain shower was amazing!
The sky bar was great. Not too expensive either.
The hotel is well situated near the tram but it is about a 20 minute or so journey in. This is fine. Only problem was that they finish fairly early at night so have to get a taxi home which is fairly pricey!
Would recommend and would stay here again!

'The Bachelor': Juan Pablo Galavis' Final Choice Revealed
His decision came down to pediatric nurse Nikki Ferrell and hairstylist Clare Crawley.
[Warning: Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen Monday night's episode of The Bachelor.]
And then there was one.
The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis revealed his final pick in Monday night's season finale of the ABC reality series.
It came down to pediatric nurse Nikki Ferrell and hairstylist Clare Crawley, and in the end, Galavis chose Ferrell.

He did go through the process of picking out a Neil Lane engagement ring. However, in a twist not seen since Brad Womack's first season in 2007, Galavis didn't propose to Ferrell, instead telling her he wasn't sure he was ready to propose but that he still wanted to date her. He also asked her to accept his final rose, and she said yes.
Womack, who actually chose not to continue dating either of the final two women in his first season, went on to propose to Emily Maynard in his second season three years later, but that engagement didn't last.
Other Bachelor stars who didn't propose include Alex Michel in season one, Bob Guiney in season four, Jesse Palmer in season five, Charlie O'Connell in season seven, Travis Stork in season eight and Lorenzo Borghese in season nine. None of those relationships lasted, either.

Galavis' predecessor, Sean Lowe, not only proposed to his pick, Catherine Guidici, but the couple were married on live TV in January. That marked the fourth televised wedding in franchise history, following the nuptials of Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney and Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum.
Galavis has made headlines during this season, most recently for retweeting a joke that used the word "retard." In January, he also generated controversy for saying that ABC shouldn't have a gay or bisexual bachelor on the show and calling gay people "more pervert."

Galavis, who is Venezuelan and a native Spanish speaker, blamed both gaffes on language issues. He was the first non-Caucasian to star in the franchise, which is from Warner Horizon TV.
