Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
When an American dies from a drug overdose, a new study suggests that it may not always be the usual suspects such as cocaine, heroin of methamphetamine. On the contrary, around half of the 80,000 overdose deaths a year are caused by medication prescribed by general physicians.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Health
Keywords: Prescription drugs, opiods, overdose deaths, mental health
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic online) - The study also found that the rate of all drug overdoses in the U.S. has more than doubled over the last 10 years.
The National Center for Health Statistics dutifully records all deaths listed on certificates, which they are required by law to include an underlying cause.
By first collating deaths listed as "accidental poisoning," intentional self-poisoning," "assault by drugs" and "poisoning with undetermined intent" and then analyzing the sub-categories, it appears around 50 percent of overdose deaths involve medicines.
High atop the list of deadly prescription medications are opioid analgesics, prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin. Nearly three-quarters of these deaths are attributed to these classes of drugs.
The researchers also found that drugs often prescribed for mental health conditions were involved in a significant number of pharmaceutical overdose deaths. Benzodiazepines, or anti-anxiety drugs) were involved in nearly 30 percent of these deaths; antidepressants in 18 percent, and antipsychotic drugs in six percent.
Deaths involving more than one drug or drug class are counted multiple times and therefore are not mutually exclusive.
"Patients with mental health or substance use disorders are at increased risk for nonmedical use and overdose from prescription painkillers as well as being prescribed high doses of these drugs," CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. says. "Appropriate screening, identification, and clinical management by health care providers are essential parts of both behavioral health and chronic pain management."
The Web site says that while cocaine, heroin and alcohol all warrant their on stripe on the charts involving drug overdose deaths, others like marijuana and LSD barely register at all.
The study notes that the rate of total reported overdoses has more than doubled between 1999 and 2010.
Some subcategories are limited in their detail and many drugs are included in umbrella terms such as "psycho-stimulants".
Around a quarter of all overdose death certificates don't have the toxicity test results listed at all, so they are labeled in the "unspecified" stripe on the graph.
The database doesn't include non-U.S. residents or U.S nationals living abroad.

Craig Lee/SFC
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef, such as round steak, best chuck or thick rib-eye steak
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups homemade or other beef stock
3 cups sliced mushrooms 12 Pacific oysters
1 sheet homemade or purchased puff pastry, about 11 by 14 inches
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon of water
Instructions: Cut the beef into 1 1/2-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and sear the meat over high heat. Remove the meat to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes. Take the pan from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of the flour. Return to the heat and cook for 1 minute. Blend in the stock. Return the meat and bring to a boil. Transfer to a flameproof casserole, cover and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2- 2 hours. Alternatively, cook in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 1/2-2 hours.
Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms in another 1/2 tablespoon of the butter on high heat. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Shuck the oysters and put in a bowl with their juices.
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour to make a paste. Set aside.
When the meat is tender, thicken the cooking juices slightly with a little of the roux, if necessary. Add the mushrooms and oysters with their juices and taste for seasoning. Boil for 3 or 4 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a 5-cup capacity deep-dish pie pan or casserole. (Recipe can be made ahead to this point. Cover and refrigerate until ready to finish.)
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Roll out the pastry to about 1/4-inch thickness and cover the pie. Flute the edges and decorate with pastry leaves. Brush with the egg was

You obviously do not know what liberalism is. The entire west including America is liberal, and democracy and liberalism (to a a certain degree) cannnot exist without each other. You are probably American, with not much education, which could explain why you think liberalism is part of the traditional political "left-right" axis, which is what I see from comments in US newspapers (i.e. conservatives that for some very odd reason thinks that liberalism and soscialism is part of the same political idea)

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Driving rain from a storm system moving up the East Coast soaked parts of North Carolina on Thursday, caused soggy morning commutes in the Northeast and prompted worries of flooding as far north as Maine.
Tornado watches were issued from North Carolina to New Jersey.
In North Carolina, the nearly 21 inches collected in Wilmington since rain started falling Sunday topped Hurricane Floyd's five-day mark of 19 inches set in 1999, the National Weather Service said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries Thursday.
Farther north, parts of eastern Virginia were under flash flood warnings. The National Weather Service also issued a tornado watch for 33 eastern Virginia counties and 21 cities, including Richmond, Williamsburg, Arlington and the Hampton Roads area.
Flash flood watches were also in effect for areas in Maryland, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
In the Northeast, where abnormally dry weather had recently threatened brush fires and forced some states to issue drought warnings, the storms brought promise of relief even as authorities cautioned about possible flooding later Thursday in a swath from Pennsylvania and New Jersey to Maine.
Rain made for a messy morning commute but the heaviest of the storms had not reached Philadelphia and New York by the morning rush hour.
In southeastern North Carolina, about 9 inches of rain fell at the Sunny Point military terminal in Brunswick County between midnight and 6 a.m. Thursday, the National Weather Service in Wilmington reported. Rain in the area was falling in bursts of between 1.5 inches to 3 inches per hour around daybreak, weather service meteorologist Michael Ross said.
"It's causing deteriorating road conditions," he said.
In eastern North Carolina, officials evacuated about 70 people overnight from a mobile home community in Kinston because of high water, Roger Dail, director of emergency services in Lenoir County, said.
"The water's still up," Dail said. "I would suspect it's going to be later today, maybe tomorrow, before the water goes out of there."
Officials urged motorists not to drive through water that was washing over roads.
"Back during Floyd, we had a lot of people lose their lives that way," Red Cross regional director Lynwood Roberson said.
The downpour came as a low pressure system from the west mixed with the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole. Nicole dissipated over the Straits of Florida on Wednesday and its remaining rainbands were expected to remain mainly offshore while tracking northward.

The hunter was strolling on the beach when he noticed this sexy MILF with an extremely hot body on roller skates. He began doing push ups and stretches to get her attention. Then, he began following her until she stopped to talk to him. She was recently divorced and very horny, just like the hunter liked them. He took her back to his place and she did not waste anytime jumping on him. He spread her out and munched on that pussy. She sucked his cock and got her pussy drilled. She got man juice all over her pretty face.

Cold Bert HinklerPosted Aug 25, 2014
I was disappointed with our stay at the Bert Hinkler. The room was located on the side of the main road and parking was very tight to get out of. There were no extra blankets and the air conditioner was very noisy. So needless to say our sleep was not good with trying to keep warm because the air conditioner was too noisy to use. The water jug wasn't full either. I will not be recommending my friends/family to stay at the Bert Hinkler.

Solta Medical Announces The Thermage(R) Total Tip
HAYWARD, California, May 06, 2013 (PR Newswire Europe via COMTEX) -- Solta Medical, Inc. , the global market leader in aesthetic skin treatments, today announced the Thermage(R) Total Tip 3.0, a highly effective treatment tip for face and neck as well as other body treatments that offers the earliest visible results in Thermage treatment history in addition to the consistent long-term results. Targeted, uniform, bulk heating allows dermatologists to treat patients effectively while maintaining patient comfort.
"With the Total Tip, patients are seeing visible results in their face, jowls and neck right off the table," said Michael S. Kaminer, MD., Managing Partner of SkinCare Physicians, Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Yale Medical School and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Dartmouth Medical School and Brown Medical School. "Doctors can confidently treat the face, neck, hands and body with one highly-effective tip. The Total Tip safely delivers as much as two times greater bulk heating volume which allows more tissue to be heated to higher temperatures, delivering better results. Thermage has had 10 years of technological refinement, and patients continue to see results that are more consistent and superior to what we saw in the past." Thermage uses radiofrequency technology to non-invasively help smooth, and contour the skin, as well as temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, in a single treatment with little to no downtime. The Thermage Total Tip is effective for facial treatments because it delivers uniform, volumetric bulk heating. This heat is dispersed through the vascular structures, which are more abundant on the face than other body areas. This dispersal and uniformity of energy may lead to increased patient tolerability and allows practitioners to deliver an efficient volume of heat on the face, with highly positive outcomes. Patients notice both early and long-term results.
"We are very pleased with results physicians are seeing with the Thermage Total Tip," said Stephen J. Fanning, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Solta Medical, Inc. "Our physicians are reporting results right off the table using the Total Tip for face treatments. Thermage Total Tip offers a simplified and highly effective solution for dermatologists, plastic surgeons and clinicians treating patients' needs worldwide." Since 2002, more than one million Thermage procedures have been safely performed in over 80 countries on patients of all ages, skin types and body areas, resulting in significant clinical outcomes and unmatched physician acceptance. The precise radiofrequency energy allows most patients to experience more immediate results that last for months, but vary by age, skin condition and skincare regimen. Treatment times vary by position on the body, but are safe for all skin types and are suitable for both men and women.
For more information about Thermage Total Tip, please visit www.thermage.com [
Solta Medical, Inc. is a global leader in the medical aesthetics market providing innovative, safe, and effective solutions for patients that enhance and expand the practice of medical aesthetics for physicians. The company offers aesthetic energy devices for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, acne reduction, body contouring and skin tightening, as well as tools and accessories to optimize the latest liposuction techniques. Each brand is an established category leader, and together comprise a comprehensive platform to address a range of aesthetic skin and body issues. Fraxel(R) delivers minimally-invasive clinical solutions to resurface aging and sun damaged skin. Clear + Brilliant(R) is a cost-effective, non-ablative laser treatment uniquely designed to improve skin tone and radiance. Isolaz(R) acne treatment combines vacuum and painless broadband light to address a wide variety of acne types. CLARO(R) is an FDA-cleared personal care acne device that uses heat and light to clear skin quickly and naturally. Thermage(R) is a non-invasive radiofrequency procedure that improves the appearance of wrinkles, which can result in smoother, more contoured skin. Liposonix(R) is a non-surgical single-treatment procedure that uses advanced high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to destroy targeted fat beneath the skin. VASERshape(TM) is a complementary non-invasive treatment that combines low frequency, non-focused ultrasound and lymphatic massage to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve blood circulation with minimal pain or no downtime. The VASERlipo(TM) system uses ultrasound technology to selectively remove unwanted body fat. It includes VentX(R) technology that powers an aspiration system for quiet, efficient removal of fatty tissue and precision vented cannulas to maximize aspiration efficiency and speed. VASERsmooth(TM) is a unique body sculpting add-on tool for use with the VASERlipo system. PowerX(R) is a power-assisted liposuction system that uses a unique rotational motion which can be used with the VASERlipo system or to enhance traditional liposuction systems. The TouchView(R) system fits between the fingers and provides diagnostic imaging of subcutaneous structures during procedures. Both the VASERlipo system and traditional liposuction systems can utilize the Origins(TM) products, a complete line of custom liposuction infiltration, re-injection and aspiration cannulas and accessories. More than two and a half million procedures have been performed with Solta Medical's portfolio of products around the world.

Unemployment Hits 8.1%, Wal-Mart Still Hiring
The national unemployment rate went to 8.1 percent last month as 651,000 jobs were lost. The losses are attributable not only to collapsing Wall Street giants, but also to corner-cutting by "healthy" companies like IBM, who in January announced a strong 4th quarter and said that "most importantly, we will invest in our people" before cutting 1,400 employees in February. Conservatives, naturally, blame the six-week-old presidency of Barack Obama, and some suggest the President is deliberately sabotaging the economy to effect his radical socialist agenda.
The employment figures are especially grim news for the thousands of people who waited in line over an hour yesterday to attend a job fair in New York, but WHEC-TV says don't despair, there are still jobs in Rochester for "EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers and other communications staff." And Wal-Mart is doing fine, so when the shit hits New York can always cave in and let them put one on every corner, like Starbucks, so we can all find employment as greeters.

Now that 2014 is upon us, the members of the college's Public Affairs staff decided to take a page from many newspapers, magazines and websites and look back at the year that was at Amherst. Here are some of our favorite stories from 2013.

The photos are atmospheric, historic and dramatic, some in color, some in black and white, capturing the historic day on Oct. 26, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy visited Amherst College to receive an honorary degree and preside over the groundbreaking for the Robert Frost Library.
By Eric Goldscheider
[Mischief] Late last semester, missives between two turn-of-the-20th-century European intellectuals mysteriously appeared on bathroom walls in Frost Library, just yards from the German literature stacks on B Level. Grout between the cinder blocks served as lines on a page for permanent-marker-wielding truants.
Please join us Tuesday afternoon, 4:30 pm, in the Reading Room of Amherst College's Frost Library, with Copeland Fellows Idan Cohen, Eric Leonardson, Matana Roberts, & Artist in Residence Rebekah Tolley.The panelists will discuss varying modes of "research" in their multidisciplinary work, exploring how their creative process shapes the works they produce.
By Adam Gerchick '13
April 13, 2013
The line snaked from the northwest corner of Frost Library's first floor almost to the main entrance, the Amherst students, faculty and staff watching as those ahead of them reached the counter, collected what they'd come for and excitedly left the building for their 2 p.m. classes.
Amherst College accepts gifts of personal property, such as books, manuscripts, artwork, jewelry, antiques, and real estate, during your lifetime or by bequest. The College must give special consideration to such gifts before it can accept them, and we advise you to contact the Office of Gift Planning if you are contemplating donating such property.

As Marc Andreessen says software is eating the world. Everything is rapidly moving toward being software-defined – from our phones and cars through our washing machines to the datacenter. However, there are larger challenges when implementing software defined on a larger scale - when building software defined infrastructure. In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, provided some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing "software-defined" in the datacent...

Gartner reports that worldwide shipments of PCs grew 10% in the second quarter of this year to 32.8 million units while IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker reports 33.2 million units, up 7.6% from a year ago.
The PC market is definitely recovering, say two reports issued almost simultaneously, one from Gartner Inc. and the other from IDC.
Gartner reports that worldwide shipments of PCs grew 10% in the second quarter of this year to 32.8 million units. Gartner says the worldwide PC market has not experienced double-digit growth since the third quarter of 2000.
IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker reports that worldwide PC shipments reached 33.2 million units in the quarter, up 7.6% from the same quarter a year ago. IDC had projected growth of 4.1%. While IDC's growth differs from Gartner's, IDC does agree with Gartner that PC shipments experienced their strongest growth since late 2000.
Both attribute the growth to price competition, and IDC says that broader adoption of laptops helped sales.
Gartner cautions that a good does not make a trend. "The PC industry performed better than expected, which suggests that market conditions are improving," said Charles Smulders, vice president of Gartner`s Computing Platforms Worldwide group. "However, sustained improvement will depend on economic conditions and their effect on the business upgrade cycle. Recent Gartner IT Watch survey data confirms U.S. corporate budgets remain tight."
PC sales in the U.S. grew 11.1% from a year ago, Gartner says.
IDC was a bit more optimistic about future sales, but sounded its own note of caution. "The market is definitely moving in the right direction," said Loren Loverde, director of IDC`s Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker. "It seems we dodged a bullet with SARS, and the market remains cautious, but growth in the U.S. and Europe is ahead of schedule and we`re still expecting increased business spending and continued portable adoption. There`s a chance the results are driven by aggressive short term pricing, so I wouldn`t throw caution to the wind, but these are very good results." IDC says U.S. sales grew 8.1%.
The two research groups agree that the market leaders are Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM.

Conservative media are applauding House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) decision to refuse negotiations on immigration reform between the House and Senate, which likely means the end of comprehensive immigration reform this year. This decision comes after months of right-wing media telling Republicans to obstruct any and all action to pass comprehensive immigration legislation.
Following Republican Ken Cuccinelli's defeat in the Virginia gubernatorial race, conservative media blamed the Republican Party establishment for not supporting Cuccinelli's right-wing agenda.
Republican and conservative media figures lauded a report from CBS' 60 Minutes on the September 2012 Benghazi attacks, using it to advance their attacks on the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton. But that report has since come under fire following the revelation that the piece's key Benghazi "eyewitness" had previously claimed he was nowhere near the compound on the night of the attack.
On October 15, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, a case that challenges a 2006 ballot initiative in Michigan that amended the state's constitution to prevent state universities from using race or sex as one of many equal factors in admissions. Although proponents of what was formerly known as Proposal 2 say this resulting affirmative action ban is consistent with the law, it appears to be specifically prohibited by the "political restructuring" doctrine of the Supreme Court.
Fox News and right-wing blogs falsely claimed that the federal government turned off Amber Alert, the child abduction broadcast service, because of the government shutdown. In fact, there have been several Amber Alerts since the shutdown began October 1 -- only a Justice Department website listing them has been shut down, along with the websites of many other federal agencies due to a lack of funding.
Before Republicans caused a government shutdown beginning October 1 by refusing to fund the government unless Democrats accepted unrealistic demands, media reports explained that numerous federal government websites would go offline or would not be constantly updated as a result.
A week later, right-wing media are highlighting the unavailability of the Justice Department's AmberAlert.gov website to falsely claim that the government "shut off" the Amber Alert program. On October 7, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy said "if somebody goes missing, and an Amber Alert should be issued, it won't be" due to the website not being available. Fox Nation's headline read: "Amber Alerts Cancelled: WH First Targets Veterans, Now Targeting Children, in Shutdown." A Breitbart.com blog post claimed in a headline, "Amber Alerts Shut Off." And the Washington Examiner claimed that "somebody, somewhere in the Obama White House or the Obama Justice Department decided to shut down the Amber Alerts."
Contrary to the right-wing media's claims, Amber Alerts have continued to be issued since the shutdown began. On October 5, an Amber Alert in Miami, Florida for a missing two-year-old was made and then canceled. An Amber Alert was issued in Galveston County in Texas on October 5 for four children, but was later canceled when the children were found safe in Tennessee.
The government shutdown and the suspension of Justice Department websites did not stop Amber Alerts. As California Highway Patrol officials explained to a NBC affiliate reporting on the shutdown of the Amber Alert webpage, local law enforcement agencies will still alert local media outlets about an Amber Alert.
UPDATE: The Justice Department's Amber Alert website AmberAlert.gov has been restored. A link on the website to view active Amber Alerts shows that this website does not post any active Amber Alerts. A Justice Department spokesman explained on Twitter that "[a]t no point has AmberAlert system been interrupted during shutdown":
Conservative media are citing an article in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JPandS) to attack legitimate research on the causes of gun violence. While its title suggests that it is a serious research publication, the journal is published by a conspiracy-minded right-wing organization and has printed articles questioning the link between HIV and AIDS and theorizing that undocumented immigrants are spreading leprosy in the United States.
JPandS is published by conservative non-profit Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), an anti-healthcare reform advocacy group that opposes almost all government involvement in healthcare. The National Library of Medicine, which bills itself as "[t]he world's largest biomedical library," has twice declined to index JPandS in its database of medical reports.
Still, an article by AAPS Executive Director Dr. Jane M. Orient has been cited by conservative media to attack calls for more research into the causes and prevention of gun violence by the Obama administration and the medical and scientific communities. AAPS aided the gun lobby in its successful endeavor to block the Centers for Disease Control from studying gun violence during the 1990s.
In a September 23 op-ed for The Daily Caller, National Shooting Sports Foundation Senior Vice President and General Counsel Larry Keane cited Orient's article to attack the scientifically supported claim that "fewer guns equals less violence":
One of the anti-gun lobby's leading arguments is that fewer guns equals less violence. This seems like a logical argument, and is often passed on as fact. But, as with most of the arguments the anti-gun left recycles over and over, the facts simply do not back it up.
In the fall issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons , Jane M. Orient, M.D. argues there is no evidence-based support for more gun control measures. Rather, the statistics gun-control proponents cite are cherry-picked from larger data sets that show no correlation between more gun laws and less violence.
Orient's article was also approvingly cited by Breitbart.com's AWR Hawkins and promoted by Guns.com. During a September 4 appearance on the National Rifle Association's media arm, NRA News, Orient attacked "organized medicine" for calling for gun violence research and stated that "the best evidence we have" on gun violence "was collected by John Lott." Lott, whose research on gun violence was cited in Orient's JPandS article, has been widely discredited.
A recent incident in which 7,500 songbirds died after flying over a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant has been ignored by the same conservative media outlets that often exaggerate the danger posed to birds by wind turbines, including hyping an incident in which a single bird was killed in Scotland.
The birds killed by the LNG facility, which may have included some endangered species, were headed south for the winter when a routine "flare" release at the Canaport LNG facility in Canada, used to burn off excess natural gas, drew them in. Though company officials apologized for the episode and said they are modifying equipment to reduce flaring, one manager at the plant admitted "At the moment there's not a whole lot I can do to resolve it in the short term." The dead reportedly included "a large number of red-eyed vireos" (see photo above).
Three months prior, another migrating bird, the white-throated needletail, died after flying into a wind turbine off Scotland. The needletail is not endangered or threatened, but it is sighted only rarely in the United Kingdom.
Can you guess how conservative media covered these two cases?
Searches of Nexis, Google and an internal video database indicate that the thousands of birds that died after flying into a Canadian gas flare have not been mentioned by any U.S. conservative outlet to date (or any major U.S. outlet other than the environmental sites Treehugger and National Geographic).
Conversely, the single bird that flew into a wind turbine became a big story in the conservative media bubble. Right-wing outlets used the episode to smear green energy, sometimes betraying sheer glee, as when National Review Online blogger Greg Pollowitz wrote "Your [sic] laughing as you read this, aren't you?" or Rush Limbaugh remarked "[a] bunch of environmentalist whackos watched a precious windmill kill a rare bird."
Conservative media's fixation on a single bird death -- albeit regrettable -- while completely ignoring thousands more seems to let slip that feigning an interest in conservation is simply a convenient way for these outlets to attack wind power, which they have depicted as an agent of "mass slaughter " or an "open-ended aviary holocaust," while overlooking far more elementary, existential threats to wildlife, including climate change. Lest we forget, conservative media figures have regularly mocked those who are concerned about the impact that humans are having on animals -- one Fox News contributor declared "lots of species may be about to leave the planet, and I don't care" -- and attacked conservation efforts for endangered species from lizards to polar bears.
Right-wing anti-gay advocate Austin Ruse is becoming the face of Breitbart.com's LGBT coverage, using his perch at the website to smear slain Wyoming student Matthew Shepard and tout Russia's horrific anti-gay legislation.
Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), has a lengthy history of rabid anti-LGBT bigotry. As GLAAD notes, Ruse believes all countries should pass laws stigmatizing homosexuality in order to "help society to teach what is good." Ruse asserts that affirming that LGBT people exist and should have rights amounts to sexual "indoctrination." Further, Ruse claims that LGBT teen suicides are caused not by bullying and social stigma, but by the LGBT movement's "ideology" and gay sex itself.
Breitbart.com can apparently think of no better figure to comment on LGBT issues. Ruse's first piece for the website made the transparently ridiculous claim that "human rights groups" supported Russia's laws banning the dissemination of "gay propaganda" and the adoption of Russian children by couples from LGBT-friendly countries. Ruse previously defended the Kremlin's anti-LGBT crackdown at The Daily Caller, where he lauded Russia's effort to "resist ... the political movement to regularize and even celebrate" homosexuality.
Ruse's latest hobbyhorse is Matthew Shepard trutherism, which he has pushed in two Breitbart pieces in as many weeks. Right-wing media outlets have seized on the publication of a new book claiming that the gay Wyoming college student's 1998 murder was the result of a drug deal gone awry, not anti-gay bias. Describing Shepard as a "winsome young homosexual," "achingly handsome," "slight of frame," and "delicately chiseled," Ruse has blasted "Matthew Shepard Inc." for promoting the "lie" that homophobia contributed to his murder.
In a September 14 column for Breitbart, Ruse denounced the "gay hagiography" that fed the "Mathew [sic] Shepard industry":
Fox News and other conservative media outlets have amplified Rep. Darrell Issa's (R-CA) misleading claim that Democrats "excuse[d] themselves" from testimony given by the families of the victims of the Benghazi attack. In fact, over the course of the hearing, members of both parties were in and out of the proceedings.
Rep. Issa posted a tweet claiming that Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee left the hearing room as Patricia Smith and Charles Woods testified about their sons, Sean Smith and Charles Woods, who were killed in Benghazi.
Right-wing media have pounced on a forthcoming book claiming that gay Wyoming student Matthew Shepard's brutal 1998 murder was motivated by drug use, not homophobia. While these media figures shroud their interest in a desire to get at the facts, their vitriolic attacks on Shepard and the movement for whom his death became a rallying cry reveal that there's more to Matthew Shepard trutherism than a concern for the truth.
In The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths about the Murder of Matthew Shepard, journalist Stephen Jimenez revives his decade-old theory that Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson killed Shepard in a meth-fueled rage. Shepard's death sparked a national discussion on anti-LGBT violence, but Jimenez makes the bombshell claim that Shepard and McKinney had actually had sex and done meth together. McKinney has denied this assertion.
Jimenez's theory is also difficult to square with the fact that McKinney cited Shepard's sexuality as a factor in the murder, attempting to employ a "gay panic" defense at trial.
Inexplicably, media coverage of The Book of Matt has ignored Jimenez's history of shoddy reporting on the case. In November 2004, Jimenez co-produced a special on Shepard's murder for ABC News' 20/20. The widely panned report downplayed the role of anti-gay bias in Shepard's murder, suggesting that meth was the primary factor. After the special aired, Gay City News unearthed an email Jimenez wrote two months before 20/20 even began its reporting, in which he proclaimed that the report would upend the conventional interpretation of Shepard's death.
Right-wing media have seized on a report noting that American children in Los Angeles County with undocumented parents are receiving millions in benefits to revive the spurious smear that undocumented immigrants come to this country only to receive welfare. However, these outlets are missing the facts surrounding the data, including that studies show immigration reform could raise these children's standard of living.
In a September 16 article, the local CBS affiliate in Los Angeles reported that according to a new analysis by county officials, an "estimated 100,000 children of 60,000 undocumented parents receive aid in Los Angeles County." The article added that the projected cost to the county would equal $650 million in 2013.
County supervisor Michael D. Antonovich was quoted as saying that the total cost to taxpayers could exceed $1.6 billion per year after factoring in health care and public safety costs, adding, "These costs do not even include the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually for education."
Right-wing media outlets, including the Daily Caller, The Blaze, and Breitbart.com, highlighted the report, with the Power Line blog using it to accuse undocumented immigrants of putting a "burden" on "the nation's welfare system, along with driving down wages for working Americans." American Thinker commented: "To open borders crowd: Please make your donations here to cover the cost of allowing destitute, jobless, skilless, poorly educated people to cross the border. We can't bill the Mexican government so you're the next best target."
Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham read the news on her radio show and used it to call for the end of birthright citizenship -- which, under the 14th Amendment, makes anyone born in this country an American citizen. She also argued that the news should end all talk of immigration reform.
But these reports leave out key facts. In 2012, according to Antonovich's office, the total cost of food stamp benefits and Cal WORKs -- a welfare program that gives cash aid and services to eligible needy California families -- to Los Angeles County was a little over $3 billion. Families headed by an undocumented parent received about $636.5 million or a little more than 20 percent of the total.
NRA News host Cam Edwards issued a correction the day after after Breitbart.com's A.W.R. Hawkins claimed on his show that the mass shooting at Washington Navy Yard "happened because Bill Clinton mandated that" military bases "be gun-free zones." In truth, the policy cited by Hawkins to support this claim allows guns to be carried on military bases under a substantial number of circumstances and was actually enacted during the George H.W. Bush administration.
The myth that a Clinton-era policy was responsible for the shooting, which claimed the lives of 12 victims, was the centerpiece of right-wing media's failed attempt to establish that the Navy Yard shooting took place in a "gun-free zone."
Edwards issued a correction during his September 18 broadcast, citing a Media Matters blog that addressed Hawkins' claim, during a segment with Washington Times senior opinion editor Emily Miller. After Edwards acknowledged that the policy was enacted under George H.W. Bush, Miller said, "Then I've written that wrong too," and she added, "Are you sure that's correct before I change it too? ... Because I don't believe anything Media Matters says."
Hawkins' claim in a Breitbart.com article about the supposed Clinton-era policy originated from a 2009 Washington Times editorial that falsely stated, "Among President Clinton's first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases." Miller promoted that editorial on September 17 on Twitter.
After Edwards issued the correction, Miller attempted to downplay the importance of whether Clinton disarmed members of the military, suggesting that Hawkins' claim was inconsequential to the "public's knowledge of the issues." In reality, Miller was just one of many right-wing media figures who seized on Hawkins' false claims to politicize the mass shooting in its immediate aftermath.
Right-wing media outlets are already celebrating a forthcoming book that claims that brutal 1998 murder of gay Wyoming student Matthew Shepard - which became a rallying cry for LGBT activists - was actually fueled more by drug use than anti-gay bias.
In The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths about the Murder of Matthew Shepard, journalist Stephen Jimenez argues that Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson bludgeoned Shepard in a meth-fueled rage. Jimenez minimizes the role of anti-gay bias in the murder, writing that Shepard and McKinney had previously had sex and done meth together (an assertion that McKinney himself denies).
Although his report of a sexual history between Shepard and McKinney is new, Jimenez's central thesis - that drugs were the motivating factor in Shepard's murder - has been called into question before.
In November 2004, Jimenez co-produced a piece on the Shepard murder for ABC News' 20/20. GLAAD highlighted key shortcomings in 20/20's report, including the lack of hard evidence that drugs were a factor and its failure to point out that McKinney himself had cited ant-gay bias as a central element in the case, even attempting to employ a "gay panic" defense at trial. Shepard's mother also condemned the report, criticizing its selective reading of evidence and accusing ABC of taking her comments out of context.
The 20/20 report neglected to mention another crucial detail: that Jimenez was a friend of Tim Newcomb, Henderson's defense attorney.
Most disturbingly, email correspondence revealed that the Jimenez had already decided that Shepard's murder wasn't an anti-gay hate crime before 20/20 even started its reporting. As Gay City News reported in December 2004:
Breitbart.com used an image of a character from the cartoon show South Park to mock "transgenders."
In a September 12 article, Breitbart noted that the AFL-CIO had amended its constitution to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or gender expression. From Breitbart's report:
The right-wing website has proven a welcome forum for rabidly anti-LGBT views. In August, Editor-At-Large Ben Shapiro called the enforcement of non-discrimination laws "state-sponsored tyranny." Despite its apparent fears of tyranny in the U.S., Breitbart recently published a column by a right-wing activist defending Russia's brutal crackdown on gays as a victory for "human rights."
Meanwhile, its use of the South Park cartoon shows that Breitbart is just as clueless as other right-wing media outlets about what transgender people are actually like.
Conservatives are still turning to British tabloids for their climate science, most recently treating a single year's Arctic sea ice -- which is still far below previous and long-term averages -- to claim that the region is not melting.
The latest instance of tabloid-reviewed science began when the The Mail on Sunday -- a sister newspaper to serial climate misinformer the Daily Mail* -- published an article titled "And now it's global COOLING!" suggesting that an increase in Arctic sea ice cover between September 2012 and August 2013 is among "mounting evidence that Arctic ice levels are cyclical." The story was summarily picked up by other British tabloids and a variety of conservative outlets, all to cast doubt on climate change. Notably, Rush Limbaugh used the report to claim "the Arctic ice sheet is at a record size for this time of year. They told us the ice was melting in the Arctic Ice Sheet. It's not."
Actually, Arctic sea ice is nowhere near "a record size." A graph from the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) illustrates that 2013 Arctic sea ice extent minimum (beige line), while not as low as last year's record (dotted line), is still tracking well below the 1979-2000 average (as have the minimum extents of every year since 1997). It is on track to be the sixth-lowest in satellite annals:
As 2012 was a record low, it is not terribly surprising that 2013 looks like it will be higher. This is due to a phenomenon known as regression to the mean, eloquently illustrated by this Skeptical Science graphic:
