abortion, one more time
Humans have human rights, and the most basic right-- the foundational right-- is the right to live. I don't think that the state or any individual has the right to take the life of another person. (I am sympathetic to merciful euthanasia, but of course in that situation there is the informed and free given consent of the person who wishes to die.) Yes, it is a terrible burden to ask women to undergo pregnancy against their wishes. People should indeed have the right to control their own bodies. But I cannot imagine that this right trumps the right to live. We mostly like to pretend that our rights are absolutes, but sadly real human life dictates that at times, they run up against each other. At these times, we invent a hierarchy as best we can. And as horrific as a forced pregnancy seems to be, it doesn't seem right to me that it would be worse than ending life. Look, say we're talking about a female fetus, and suppose for reasons of argument I grant that a fetus is human. When that fetus grows into a woman, she could become pregnant and desire an abortion. Her right to acquire that abortion seems compelling. But could it be more compelling than a right to life that allowed her to grow to that age in the first place? No, I simply can't reconcile support for abortion with belief that a fetus is human. That maybe logically unsatisfying; I guess it's just a first principles thing.
Again, though, I believe that a fetus is not human. This interpretation is supposedly susceptible to the complaint that defining life as beginning at birth is arbitrary. (This is a principle line of argumentation in Ramesh Ponnuru's book.) Maybe so. The law, however, is a series of arbitrary decisions, as I've said before. Steal a certain dollar amount of merchandise, and you might receive a misdemeanor. Steal just about that amount, and you might receive a felony. If someone has sex with a girl a day after her eighteenth birthday, there are no consequences. If that same person has sex with her the day before her eighteenth birthday, technically, he could be subject to imprisonment and a lifetime on the sex offender registry.
Decisions we make about law and rights seem arbitrary because we've got to muddle through in a world that is remarkably resistant to bright-line rules and easy interpretation. As far as things go, I find defining the beginning of life at birth to be remarkably sensible. And though traditionalism is never the last word on things, I think there's a lot of evidence that we have traditionally defined the beginning of life at birth. There are also many pragmatic advantages to that, due to the difficulty of understanding when conception happens, the (still) relatively high chance of miscarriage for any particular pregnancy, incompatible philosophical and moral arguments about viability, or the soul, or sufficient resemblance to an adult human.... Muddy waters, of course, don't necessitate adhering to any particular position on the issue. Someone could come up with many reasons to support the vision of life beginning at conception. Ultimately, however, I think most people are comfortable regarding the fetus as non-human, and while appeals to democracy are never dispositive, they are sort of all we have, when we argue public policy.
As an aside, the "you don't understand because you are not a woman" argument doesn't thrill me, I'm afraid. It's no more moving than, say, "you don't have a right to argue about tariffs because you are not in the manufacturing business", etc. Democracy requires a certain degree of false universalism among the citizenry. That's imperfect, but is I'm afraid an inevitable and necessary consequence of rule by the people.

Great post. For me, every civic and intellectual instinct that I have pushes me towards a pro-choice position. I desperately want to allow women as much freedom as possible, and I think it's terribly unfair that they alone have to deal with unwanted pregnancies.
But, I consider myself pro-life because I do believe that a fetus is human. My idea of human life centers around the unique genetic determination that we all receive at conception; I can't convince myself that something magical happens when the umbilical cord gets cut or the baby's eyes open.
I think the abortion debate will exist for a very long time, and will always be as heated as it is today. There really are only two logical positions: pro-life for those who believe a fetus is human, and pro-choice for everyone else. And the key difference is a vague, difficult point of personal belief.

I don't know how you set aside your fear that you have set the line too late and are actually killing a person. These arbitrary lines are what we have to work with when we're shooting for separating issues with different significance - stealing more money vs. less money, sex with a baby vs. sex with a fifteen year old.
In light of that, I don't think that "arbitrary" is perhaps the best word - they are not truly arbitrary, they are a best guess at a real standard believed to exist. And a real standard must exist in this situation - clearly, we are all persons. If someone tries to redefine me as a person, I don't lose my personhood. It is still present, albeit if ignored or disrespected.

Well, I don't think you can really define person-hood at birth. It is, as you admit, unbelievably arbitrary. So is the idea of starting at fertilization.
Yet, you confuse the necessity of discrete guide-lines for the purpose of law, with actual rights and morality.
Most people would say, law be damned, that there isn't any moral difference between having sex with a girl the day before or after her 18th birthday.
In the same sense, the idea that the womb magically insulates a baby from it's human rights is absolutely absurd.
Instead, I argue that a fetus obtains human rights when it reaches a certain level of neural development(Neural development is actually quite discrete). Depending on which measure you use, this places personhood status somewhere between 30 and 90 days for a baby.
This is more internaly consistent than tha alternatives, and gives women plenty of time to abort an unwanted child.

How is that any different, though? You're again choosing when to determine "person-hood". This is what I mean when I say that the question of when someone becomes human is necessarily a moral or philosophical one, not a scientific one. You could convince me that there are certain stages of neurological growth necessary to be a functioning human; but I don't see any particularly compelling reason to make that a definition of human-ness. No matter where we set the beginning of life, it's going to be in some sense an arbitrary position.

Seems to me humanness, or personhood, is irrelevant. I think of it this way: we have a short list of situations in which, for the well-being of others, it's permissible to end the lives of acknowledged human persons. I'm thinking of self-defense, death penalty, war casualties, conjoined twins, etc.. And we openly contemplate and tolerate the certain deaths of persons in, for example, our regulation of the food and drug industry, in which certain numbers of deaths are assigned prices and factored into cost-benefit analysis. Abortion is just one more entry on that list. Human-ness or personhood doesn't get you past that argument, so it doesn't get you all the way there.
- November 13, 2008 at 8:18 PM
anonymous, all of your examples are tradeoffs where lives will be lost with either decision. The death penalty is seen as a deterrent. In war it's kill or be killed. The equivalent abortion scenario to these is the situation where the mother will die if the fetus is not aborted. And in this scenario, many pro-lifers (including myself) don't have a problem with the abortion being allowed.
But most of the debate focuses on the much greyer area of abortions for convenience. No decent person would advocate killing a 1-day old baby because the mother does not want to raise the baby or have it adopted (apologies, I think, if you hold this view). So the question is, when - if ever - is there a transition between a nonhuman fetus and a human baby?
- November 13, 2008 at 8:40 PM
But then how do you get around the "viability" argument? How can human be a human if it cannot exist outside of the womb?
- November 13, 2008 at 9:58 PM
If you look at the number of women murdered by their partners while pregnant, I think you can make exactly that argument. Sure, we don't know exactly who the people killed or not killed will be, but war casualties are like that too, right? I'm speaking here of civilians, rather than combatants, who die when their city is bombed or whatever-- did you miss that?
Look at it another way: we let people drive cars. Nobody thinks this doesn't cause death of persons. But we allow it anyway because it contributes to our well-being.
But more importantly, if you accept abortion to save the mother's life but still think a fetus is a human person, then you're agreeing that it's not really about personhood or humanness, aren't you? Instead it's become a balancing test.

The fact there is an element of arbitrariness in all lines in the sand ought not displace common sense. A fetus that is one day short of 9 months sounds pretty human to me. Birth is not as satisfying a marker as one would like...to wit, premature babies who are "birthed" for any number of physiological reasons. Is an 8 month old fetus not human if a premie born a month early is? Neither should we waste our time talking about the "viability" of a fertilized egg. Gimme a break. Not to bring up the much-despised "compromise" term, but maybe we could agree on a "reasonable" cut-off line of some kind.

Well spoken, but I confess confusion at the premise: "I could not however endorse abortion if I believed a fetus to be human."
Words have meaning, and in this case, a fetus is quite simply a mammal at a particular stage of its development. It's not a nebulous concept like person or personhood. Thus a human fetus, definitionally, must and can be nothing other than human. It isn't a dog fetus, or a cat fetus, or a horse fetus--it's a human fetus.
So yes, if you believe that "[h]umans have human rights," then by simple biological fact, a fetus has human rights. This is actually the very reason I began questioning the pro-choice position of my twenties. I still have a problem considering the life of a one-day-old implanted zygote to be the same as a six-month-old fetus, but I recognize that's just a rationalization on my part. If the pertinent criteria is that it is a human life, that criteria is satisfied from zygote till death.
The real issue, then, isn't whether it's human or not, or alive or not--biologically, at any point certainly past implantation, both are certainly true--but whether that matters or not. Either our humanity is equally important at all points in our development or it isn't. If it isn't, well--there's your arbitrary: Deciding at what point, and why, it isn't.

"This interpretation is supposedly susceptible to the complaint that defining life as beginning at birth is arbitrary."
What's that "supposedly" doing in there? You're conceding that it's arbitrary.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, your argument for abortion rights runs like this: Killing humans is wrong, so let's the majority of us simply agree to call fetuses something other than human. This sounds to you like a more moral justification for abortion rights than those which admit the scientific fact that fetuses and blatocysts are forms of human life?
My argument makes no judgment on whether it is "right" to kill a fetus. I simply observe that there is no set of laws that could consistently protect unborn human life. Really all we can do is throw up obstructions, and these obstructions will follow human biases as to when abortion is appropriate. I find that idea to be abhorrent and, I'd suppose, against the principles of the Constitution.
I've really done exactly what you've done, which is to justify why there is a separate category of human life that isn't titled to the protection of the law, simply because nature, in this case, defies the law's just application. My justification happens to be based on reason. I'm not sure why you wouldn't prefer it.
- November 14, 2008 at 6:13 AM
I'm astounded and pleased that this discussion has stayed civil. My one factual complaint about the original post is that historically "quickening" or observable movement by the fetus can been the general historical dividing line. Both the law in the Old Testament (cited here as historical not divine reference) and English common law have more severe penalties for causing a miscarriage or killing the mother after quickening has occurred.

Personally, I think the most logically consistent way to determine the beginning of life is the same way we determine the end of life: vital signs.
Whether it's a heartbeat or brainwaves, it seems consistent that if we say that the absence of these things amounts to the end of human life, then the presence of them amounts to its beginning.
As I recall, brainwaves are detectable within about 4 weeks from conception.

Birth as defining life is nonsensical. What is the difference between a fetus an hour before it is born and a baby an hour after? Developmentally they are the same; the only difference is location. Location is not what makes us human. The problem is not that the birth line is arbitrary, it is that it is clearly wrong.

It seems to me the question here is the extent of the power of the state, not the metaphysical question of when a fetus becomes a person. We accept that the state doesn't have the authority to enforce human rights at any time and place; even if we believe that rights are being violated in Saudi Arabia, or Sweden, we don't claim for our government the right to invade those countries. I know this is a weird analogy but it's apt for abortion: the state doesn't have the right to "invade" women's bodies. Sovereignty over one's own body seems to me intuitively to be pretty important to basic human rights and dignity.

jason king: Regarding traditional concepts of personhood, we can toss the the Hippocratic Oath onto the list, since it lumps inducing an abortion to taking taking a human life (assisted suicide).
I am somewhat wary of claiming such arbitrary positions when it comes to human life. I found the "sex with an 18 year old" to be a more compelling comparison than theft (since any kind of theft is wrong... we're just modifying the severity of punishment based on the scope of the crime). Still, the sex comparison strikes me as an inapt comparison.
Imagine there is man on trial for having sex with a 17 year old girl and at his defense he proclaims that he had sex with her on Thursday and not Tuesday. Because Wednesday was her birthday, he claims he committed no crime. Our moral response between sex on Thursday and sex on Tuesday is pretty much "eh". The legal system responds to this arbitrary cut off by not enforcing it very strongly (most convictions for statutory rape involve the minor being 14 or 15 and additionally involve a coercion factor).
Transpose this to abortion and we see something vastly different. With many (not all, but many) pro-choice proponents, we see people who believe that the moral difference between ending a life on Tuesday and ending a life on Thursday is 30 years in jail.
Even stranger to me is the fact that we have two sets of laws. The first ones imbue personhood upon birth if the mother doesn't the child. The other set defines the fetus as a person for the sake of punishing an aggressor in the case that the mother does want the child. California defines it as past 7-8 weeks, New York uses 24 weeks. Florida and Massachusetts both refer to "viability".
If we're going for an arbitrary line, these lines strike me as much better ones, since they pass the comparison smell tests that Freddie puts forth. It is basically society saying:
"We want a law that protects (small children / fetuses) from (sexual abuse / death), so we need an line in the legal sand. When you get too close to the line, we get morally nervous, but the line is needed so we can provide legal definition for those who are way on the other side of it, like those who (sexually abuse a 14-year-old / kill a 8 month old fetus)."
In conclusion, it seems to me that, given his premises, viability is a much more reasonable line for Freddie to argue.

Correction to above:
The sentence "The first ones imbue personhood upon birth if the mother doesn't the child" should read
"The first set of laws only imbue personhood upon birth (and not before) if the mother doesn't want the child."

Well, it depends. In some ways we do. But we don't, for example, have funerals for miscarried fetuses, or give them names, etc. Although, it's true, miscarriages are usually occasions for great sadness.

This is a peculiar post. If it is life then how can it fail to be human life? It is a human set of genes, which is living. And how can it fail to be life, if an amoeba or a fungi counts as life?
If you believe that humanity is a set of traits rather than an identity then what are these traits?
If they are higher level sentience then does this make a retard less human than somebody with a fully functional brain? Or a genius the most human of all?
Simply accept that a foetus is a life, is a human and that this does not matter. Humanity is just another species. We are nothing intrinsically special, and only a bigot would say otherwise.

Just wanted to add I think your doctor sounds like he's taking the right precautions and steps with you. Try not to worry and take care of yourself as well as possible diet, relax, and water ...etc.
Watching my BP as well.
p.s. I had an ultrasound that measured the fluid as well - ask your doctor if you are concerned and have it checked. If anything at the moment this can ease that worry if all is well.
God Bless,

Melissa McCarthy Called "Tractor-Sized" and "Hippo" in Film Review — Outraged Readers Sound Off
It's safe to say Rex Reed is not a big fan of Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy. He really hated her new film, Identity Thief, but seemed much more sympathetic to her co-star, Jason Bateman. That's fine, but it's the way he wrote about McCarthy that has fans outraged.
Here's a portion of his film review in the New York Observer:
"In the trashy, stupefying screenplay by Craig Mazin, Jason Bateman is a Denver accountant named Sandy Patterson—another in a long line of victims of the increasingly dangerous world of cyber-crime—whose credit card has been hacked and copied by a felonious thief in Miami (cacophonous, tractor-sized Melissa McCarthy)."
"The snafus in the worst road movie since The Guilt Trip plunge Mr. Bateman and his female hippo into a motel with only a double bed, a grotesque sex scene with a pickled reprobate she picks up in a bar who demands a threesome, a violent bar fight that bloodies his nose, a kidnapping, a multi-car collision going the wrong way on the freeway … but why go on?"
"Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) is a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success. Poor Jason Bateman. How did an actor so charming, talented, attractive and versatile get stuck in so much dreck?"
Read more here. The comments under the story were pretty much all negative. Here's a sample:
• "Wow, this review is seriously offensive. Calling McCarthy a tractor-sized hippo? Remind me never to read The Observer again."
• "Rex Reed, what is wrong with you? What benefit is there to attacking Melissa McCarthy personally when you're supposed to be talking about the quality of the film? There are so few people you can count on in this over-saturated industry for true film criticism, and you just ruined any remaining shreds of credibility you had. At least this is one less website I need to visit now."
• "Look, from what I can tell, you're calling it like you see it- yes, Melissa McCarthy is overweight and plays obnoxious characters. However, I'd like you to look at her male counterparts and ask yourself which of them has ever brought you to such hostility before. Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, Jason Sudeikis- the list of overweight and unattractive men who are cast in wildly popular comedic roles goes on. This is because as a culture, we can tolerate an ugly man as long as he's funny, but a woman has to be both attractive and talented (in that order) to be deemed worthy of a leading role. Check yourself, Mr. Reed- you're part of the problem."
• "'Tractor-sized' and 'humongous' to describe Melissa McCarthy? Isn't this supposed to be a review about the film. You don't work for 'Biggest Loser USA!' How rude. You mad bro?"
• "Wow, this is a horrible, misogynist crapfest of a review."
• "I cannot believe that this offensive article made it to print. This writer should be fired. Dear editor, please consider reading your writers work and informing them that calling someone a hippo or 'devoting her career to being obese' is offensive to about 80% of the united states. Good work -Rex, now you have permanently lost a reader for your publication. I will never read the Observer again without a public apology from this A-hole."
Read the full story and comments for more. The review shines a harsh light on the still-common double standard of women being judged for their looks while many men still just get judged for their work. But, on the upside, at least people responded en masse, with a pretty much unanimous bashing of the sexism and cruel weight references. Do you think Rex should apologize? He has the right to write what he wants, whether people agree or not ... unless his editors decide he's gone too far.

AT 50 cents a round for crappy Wolf AMMO there is no great reason to to get excited abought a grendal build. 308 WIN length rounds can be made to fit in a AK reciver so I am starting to think about skiping the the grendal and likely would not have started a 6.8 SPC except I have the barrel. the 243,260 REM, 7mm-08, 308. 338-08 and all the other wild cats made from the 308 WIN and the 22-250 can be made to work and they will all out perform the 6.5 grendal in one way or another If you want a 6.5MM AK why not a 260 REM that goes 300fps faster than the grendal. It seems that myself and others get a little side tracked building AK guns for all the new rounds that are coming out that are designed to fit the AR15 limited mag well. The AK does not have these restrictions so why not just step it up??? I spent months planing a 308x1.5" barnes build when I could have more easly done a 308 WIN that way out performs the smaller rounds. Why was I was I trying to stuff grendal rounds into a mag that cost $45 when I could mod a G3 mag for $2.oo and have increased performance with a 260 REM?? I really wish I had bought more fixed stock Yugos Kits!!!!
Every round I have mentioned has puplished loads listed that are all under 50,000 CUP, most even lower. there is a 22-250 load that pushes a 40 grain bullet at 3709 FPS and only makes 39,400 CUP (way way under what a 7.62 round puts out!) Makes me rethinkmy 223 varmit build as not being so hot.
starting loads for the 260 REM are 3100 PSI (not CUP) this is way under an AK round. I am starting to think of a long range 260 remington shooting those streamlined 6.5mm bullets loaded to around 49,000 CUP as my next build. And a 22-250 is going to be a must


text: Lyrics from JuliusDifficult to categorize in one genre, Portland, Oregon band STRFKR play indie pop music influenced by synth, house and electro. The group formed in 2007 by frontman Joshua Hodges as a solo departure from his previous indie band Sexton Blake. After experiencing an increase in hype in the Portland scene, Hodges recruited Ryan Biornstad (guitar, keyboard, vocals), Shawn Glassford (bass, keyboard) and Keil Corcoran (drums, keyboards) for live shows. STRFKR received their first break in 2008 when their song "Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second" was used in a Target commercial. The group is noted for changing their name three times and occasionally (to the delight of their girlfriends) playing in drag. STRFKR have released six albums in the form of singles, EPs and LPs since their musical birth in 2007. Portland-based Badman Recording Co. released the group's debut LP in 2008 as well as their Jupiter EP in 2009. In 2011, the Reptilians LP was released on Polyvinyl Records.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by suzanvurgun Could be stunning but... This dress looks fabulous in pictures but I was very disappointed when I got this dress. First of all, it was a way too loose, even though I usually wear size XS-S (I ordered small). It was also too lengthy so I will need to shorten it. But the thing that shocked me the most is, how poorly it is made.. I'm afraid It's going to unusuable after washing. There is no finishing so the dress looks very cheap. 6.26.2013

Rated 2 out of 5Â by HannahW Very polyester, not very flattering This slip is not my favorite. It feels and looks very polyester (because it is), and the fit was too loose and unflattering on me to keep. I do like the ruffles, but the tie in the back was awkward and usually out of place, which made it look a bit sloppy. I wear a 36C, and this slip falls from my bust in a kind of tent-like fashion, making me look much bigger than I am. For busty girls, I would not recommend this. 6.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Millie1 Pretty. Another great piece form FP. I purchased this in black at the sale price and i have to say that it is a very beautiful dress! Great quality, soft and silky fabric which drapes very well and the fact that you can loosen/tighten the straps at the back changes the whole look of the dress. For reference I am 5'10 1/2 and a uk 6 which is a us 4 and i purchased the xs-which is still very roomy, I would of preferred it a little less baggy but I am still pleased with how it looks. Just keep in mind that for tall girls this is very short-not like shown on the models, its on the cusp of being quite risque although i can just get away with wearing this dress with bare legs but for anyone taller than myself you might need to consider alternative options. 6.5.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by none Sweet, flirty and classic elegant with edge! I simply love it! I bought a black, and loved it so much now bought every color of them (with sale price!) it is surprisingly well made with good quality fabric and I can wear so many ways... parties, or just causal wears with boots and cardigan. I'm 5'2', 27 for most jeans, usually S for tops and dresses from FP. I got a S, it fits perfectly well on me a bit of looseness which I like it very much. I'm so happy with my purchase. I highly recommend. 5.31.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lisaizzykate Silky soft sweetness ~ A very soft and comfy dress but does not fit me well. I am a B cup yet it was very tight across the chest in my normal FP size. I would try to go up a size and will look and see what is left in stock. I bought the red which is not red , more of a bright hibiscus color. It is beautiful, but much brighter than the picture so i think i will go for it in black which would be more versatile. I thought the workmanship was good and it is such a pretty dress . An excellent summer dress , especially at the sale price- looking now for availability in the next size. 5.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by nmb6227 sexy & comfortable This is worth every bit of its sale price and then some! I bought the blue and can easily wear it as a dress WITH heels! Also a great layering piece. Expect some fraying because the ruffle trim is raw cut but holds up fine. Take the plunge! 4.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Parkersparkles Fun and flirty Bought this dress in black. Such a great simple dress to wear with a great pair of boots to easily dress them up. Love that you can wear the back straps tied or untied. 4.20.2013

The highly-rated 22-year-old has yet to play a league game under Steve Clarke so far this season and a number of Premier League clubs have shown an interest as a result.
Swansea were one of those understood to be keen, but Sky Sports understands that West Brom have opted not to sell.
They are also unwilling to loan him to a team in their own division, but they are ready to let him get playing time in the Championship.
It is understood Wolves, Blackburn, Leeds, Bolton, Leicester, Barnsley, Burnley and Nottingham Forest are all keen on doing a deal for the England U21 international.

Semifinals set for 2012 US Open National Playoffs Championships
Mary Weatherholt.
By McCarton Ackerman
For Nikita Kryvonos, playing in the US Open this year would be a homecoming in every sense of the word.
Not only it would mark his first time playing in the tournament since 2007, when he received a wild card into the singles qualifying draw, but Kryvonos is a Flushing native who lives within walking distance of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and trains there during the year. Today, he moved himself one step closer to that goal by reaching the semifinals of the US Open National Playoffs Men's and Women's Championships, held at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale University in New Haven, by defeating South African Punch Maleka 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.
"I know everyone there," said Kryvonos, the No. 3 seed in the event. "I was injured all of last year and didn't play any tournaments, so it would be huge for me to win the qualifying wild card and get back into the Open after everything that happened. I'm just trying to play better with every match."
Since returning to the pro tour, Kryvonos won a $15,000 futures event last month in Canada, his first pro title in over three years, and has climbed back up to No. 625 in the ATP Tour rankings. However, if he manages to win the the US Open National Playoffs, Kryvonos said he wouldn't be satisfied with merely playing in the US Open this time.
"I'm stronger physically and have more experience than when I played there last," said Kryvonos. "I was still really young and competing against men, which was difficult for me, but now I play against these players every week. That's helped me improve and would make me able to do better this time."
In other men's quarterfinal matches, No. 1 seed Clement Reix lost just four games in his easy win over Nevada native Brian Battistone 6-2, 6-2. No. 2 seed Nicolas Meister moved into the semis by defeating Jon Wiegand, while another fellow American Eric Hechtman also won his match in straight sets.
On the women's side, No. 1 seed Mayo Hibi of Japan encountered few problems in defeating American Stephanie Vlad 6-1, 6-3. The teenager, who lives in Irvine, CA, played a game that was strikingly different than the other players in the draw, serving and volleying throughout the match while also incorporating a heavy one-handed backhand.
She's also been testing out her mature style of play on the lower rungs of the pro circuit this year, winning a $10,000 futures event this past June in Hilton Head, SC, and reaching the semifinals of a $50,000 challenger last month in Yakima, Wash. She now stands at a career high ranking of No. 413.
"Pro events are very different from the juniors because everyone is tough mentally and the serves and returns are all high quality, so it's helped me improve my game by adjusting to that," said Hibi. "I never really traveled for junior tournaments either because there were so many in California, so I've been getting used to the lifestyle of traveling and staying in different places as well."
Hibi was joined in the semifinals by No. 2 seed and 2010 US Open National Playoffs women's champion Alexandra Mueller, who easily defeated American Jan Abaza in straight sets. No. 4 seed Sandra Roma of Sweden and unseeded American Mary Weatherholt also won their matches to round out the final four.
Semifinal action for the US Open National Playoffs Men's and Women's Championships kicks off on Sunday at 11:00am. Clement Reix and Nikita Kryvonos square off in the first match on Court 1, followed by the all-American match between Nicolas Meister and Eric Hechtman. On the women's side, Mayo Hibi will take on Mary Weatherholt, while Alexandra Mueller and Sandra Roma will do battle in the other semifinal.
The finals of the tournament are scheduled for Monday. The winner of the men's and women's singles events this week will receive a wild card into the US Open qualifying tournament, held from August 21-24 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY.

Money hungry pigs. $30 for an employee to click a few buttons and activate a new phone. Almost as good as a lawyer.
Verizon ups upgrade fee to $30
Verizon is increasing the fee they charge customers who upgrade to a new, subsidized iPhone -- or other mobile device -- as part of a 2-year contract renewal. The new fee will be $30 and takes effect on April 22.
This fee will help us continue to provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect which includes Wireless Workshops, online educational tools, and consultations with experts who provide advice and guidance on devices that are more sophisticated than ever.
Verizon offers their eco-friendly trade-in program as a way to hedge against the costs.
We've already heard that carriers are starting to push back on the costs of premium devices, like the iPhone, which cut their incredible profits down to only fantastic sizes. They successfully, and unsuccessfully, tried to increase other costs to try and get more money out of consumers for a while now. They'll likely keep trying until they find the paths of least resistance.
Does the new upgrade fee bother you? Will it change your mind about upgrading on Verizon? Jump into our Verizon Forum and let us know!

Verizon ups upgrade fee to $30
It is another free money fee from Verizon just like their mystery administration fees that appear hidden in the list of fees. The cost of administrating the accounts is a burden they should carry, if they wanted to be honest about things then all these extra charges should e advertised inside the contract fees and the upgrade fee spread over the term of the contract. Then what they claim as contract cost is a true cost and not the cost plus extra fees to bulk up their coffers on the sly over and above the cost of the device and the contract fee.
Am I the only one not that upset about this? I can still have my unlimited data, with no throttling at ~15GB, the ability to tether if I want to without interfering with my unlimited data. I still get about 420 subsidized on a new iPhone. With exceptionally better device than AT&T, I am happy with big red and glad I jumped ship from AT&T so long ago.
I totally agree. I am not upset, just crazy...
Why should it change if it's always been waived? I've been with Verizon for over 9 years now and I've upgraded 4 times and have changed phone more times than i can count. I've never paid an upgrade fee or an activation fee. It always gets waived. I don't know anyone that has paid these fees. I think they are just there to make the service rep look good when they say they will waive the fees.
Gotcha hooked, now they up the ante.
We have had cell phones for ages now, no "activation" or they call it now an "upgrade fee" previously either until... now.
We have 4 phones on the plan, were looking to add the last son, but you are kidding, $30 to activate each line, unless that is you have data package, then they would consider waiving the fee.
I went to upgrade my phone today that has been barely working for months now, but was patient enough to wait 'til they told me I could upgrade, they gave me a $50 credit because I waited, then another $30 credit because I complaned about the no new every 2, for a basic phone, which seems to me in the early days would have been completetly free. THe gal did not mention the upgrade fee, naturally I went into orbit when it came time to check out, which I have not completed that task.
Got sucked in to the texting charge, one line at a time, but Yes, we are living without the fancy phones and data plan, texting is about as far as we get, not interested in smart phones, or rather the associated cost of owning one. The guys have i-pod touches or lap top computers that do everything a smartphone does (in a wireless zone) without the hint of any fees whatsoever!
Why in the world does verizon think I could, or even want to pay the data fee plus the regular fees for 4 or five phones? That would be almost $300 a month for the phone service, really? If you don't get the premium phones with the Data package, there is no new every two, no wiggling out of the upgrade fee. No visable way out of the contracts either, they are all on different end of contract schedules - so that would be two different phone bills, not in the same network, or pay the early termination fees.
We aren't poor, just too old to think that all that spending all that money on phone service is rediculous. How do the young folk starting out afford it? Just skip eating to afford the phone?
What a rip off!
Un-flipping believable! My contract is up this summer - looks like I'm gonna have to look elsewhere. Maybe this will be turned around like the decision to charge some ridiculous fee for paying your bill online a few months back. Angry people unite, and let them know just how foul this is......
Wave the activation fee, or I wont renew my contract F-them.
They always did that every other time I re-upped when my contract was done and was getting a new phone. Your about to tie me up for 2 years on the phone I am about to pay 200 to 300 for and they have the balls to ask for another $30 on top of all that to activate the phone? NO !!
You American consumers should consider yourself lucky. Here in Canada, the big 3 cellular networks have been charging that fee for the last 3 years. Added to the flame, we are locked in for 3 effing years. Not to mention to cancel a contract more than 6 months prior to the end of your current contract, it costs $600 to cancel your plan... (This is regardless of phone model or whether you're using a second hand phone...) I'd rather switch to Verizon. Can't wait to move out of this hole.

The lights are on
Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
i just realized this today, but i went to my email folder to view an old issue of the gameinformer digital, and i was forwarded to the current issue. i did not get to read the august issue as thoroughly as i had wanted but now i only get sent to the september issue. i tried looking at all of them and it seems that the old format still works just fine. but all of the issues that are in the new format, keep sending me to the most recent issue. is there any way to see any of the back issues that are on the new format?
Sad. This question was asked back in August and still no reply.
yeah. i decided to just change from getting the digital issues and get the paper instead... the digital issues sounded like a good idea, but the customer support sucks too much.
There's an archive issues button at the bottom of the current digital issue that will allow you to pick the older issues.
finally after 4 months an answer. thank you
You're welcome. I had just recently figured that out. Would have been nice to have some instructions. :)
But what if the archive button isn't there? I am trying to go back to the mass effect issue, but there is literally no archive button on my digital.
Hmmm . . . mine's gone too. I guess GameImformer doesn't want us reading back issues any longer. The button used to be on the bottom right, near the contents button.
I did find a link to the May 2011 issue that has Mass Effect 3 . . . it also appears that this version of the viewer has more options than the one you get from the "Read Current Issue" link.
I used to be able to get to my back issues with saved emails too, but that's not working anymore. I'm getting redirected to the current one as well.
That link you posted does seem to work though, so thanks cppd245.
Thanks a lot your link did the trick but I'm disappointed that there isn't a better way to view old issues because its one of the main reasons I switched to digital subscription.
"Get immediate access to a year's worth of previously published issues and a keyword-searchable online archive."
They better give us back a proper way to check older issues!
I just this problem too. I'm glad that I found that link that was posted here or I was going to switch back to print. At least with print you're guaranteed to be able to read your issue at anytime you want to.
It appears that once my subscription has ended. I don't get any possible way to access my older editions that I paid for. Tried all these links and nothing. Funny how they didn't mention ripping me off when I switched to digital.

This story was updated at 2:15 p.m. on Aug. 5, 2013.
Police said a man who was shot at about 1:30 a.m. Monday at a Germantown residence probably was the victim of a home invasion by several people.
Police arrived at the ranch-style house, in the 17400 block of Onyx Drive, after a report of a shooting and burglary, said Montgomery County Police Capt. Jim Daly.
They discovered a 22-year-old man who had been shot several times in the torso, Daly said. As of mid-afternoon on Monday, police had not released the victim's identity.
Police think the victim and shooter knew each other. "We don't believe this was some sort of random crime," he said.
According to Daly, several people forced their way into the house through the back door of the residence.
The shooting occurred in the basement. Rescue personnel took the man to a local hospital, where he was recovering from surgery, Daly said.
Around noon Monday, police crime scene tape still hung across Black Rock Road in front of the Asbury United Methodist Church, across the street from where police shuttled in and out of the house.
A child's pink toy jeep sat in front of the house, near where officers stopped to talk on the front porch, and a swing set was visible in the backyard.
Neighbor Kenneth Greene said police activity was very unusual in the quiet neighborhood off Md. 118.
Greene said he was in bed around 2:30 a.m. when he heard a helicopter flying low overhead and saw its lights searching the neighborhood.
The house's residents had moved in less than two months ago, he said.
The residents never caused a disturbance in the neighborhood, although cars sometimes came to and from the home, he said.
Police were not sure what, if any, property was taken from the home, Daly said.
Police searched the surrounding area with K-9 teams and a helicopter from the U.S. Park Police, but did not find anyone.
Several other adults were in the house at time of shooting, Daly said. Those people have been identified and interviewed, but no one was charged or was in custody, he said.

DOBSON — Concerns about updating portions of the college's heating system which service some of the original buildings on campus dominated the school Board of Trustees first meeting of the new year Monday.
Facilities committee chairman Ed Carter first told the board concrete had been poured for the college's new industrial technology building. Carter said a new boiler had been installed to restore heat to the "B" building on campus. He explained the school was able to move funding from its budget in the amount of $50,000.
College President Dr. David Shockley explained to the board the heating system is 50 years old and pipes that carried heat in the system's "main loop" had caused the failure of the system.
"We have a major capital situation with the aging heating and cooling systems that will have to be dealt with," said Shockley. "We need to start that process soon. Our fear is that other parts of the system are not far behind." He told the board the building affected houses faculty offices on its third floor as well as mathematics, business and automotive classes. It is one of the largest buildings on the school's Dobson campus.
"We (school officials) are going to develop some options and bring this to the facilities committee and talk to the county as well," said Shockley. "We've got to get a plan in place and talk with the parties involved to come to an agreement on what to do." He estimated the costs for the total project as more than $2 million. He told the board that state regulations allowing funding to be moved towards renovation and restoration projects would probably not be extended in upcoming annual budgets.
Carter said the heating and cooling systems in these areas are not tied together which means the college is benefiting from lower natural gas costs for the boilers.
Shockley told the board the college's newly hired employees included Amanda Gregory as a full-time professor. Gregory was an adjunct professor in early childhood development at the college. Jason Lawson, formerly of the Mount Airy Fire Department, will serve as the coordinator of the college's emergency training center.
Randy Ledford will serve as the vice president of Student Development. Ledford previously worked at Davidson County Community College. Clarice Lowery has been hired as a chemistry instructor in a new position at the school, and Lisa Smith has been hired as Upward Bound director for the college.
Shockley told the board a national search for a candidate to replace viticulture instructor Gill Giese has begun. Giese has resigned from the college and accepted a position with Shelton Vineyards.
"We wish him well," said Shockley. "He will be a strong advocate for the college in this new position."
The other resignation reported to the board by Shockley was Robin Hendrix. He said the math instructor will be accepting a position in private industry in Charleston, S.C.
In other items reported to the board, a total of $3,400 was raised by the school's Angel Tree Festival and sponsored 60 children.

NEW YORK Jim Lehrer may be regretting his decision to come out of semi-retirement and moderate his 12th presidential debate.
The veteran PBS anchor drew caustic social media reviews for his performance on Wednesday, with critics saying he failed to keep control of the campaigns first direct exchange between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. The candidates talked over Lehrers attempts to keep them to time limitations, and his open-ended questions frequently lacked sharpness.
The tough assessments crossed party lines: Republican commentator Laura Ingraham wrote on Twitter that Lehrer seemed a bit overwhelmed. Comic and Democratic activist Bill Maher bluntly tweeted that Lehrer sucked.
Its not the night Lehrer would have expected. The 78-year-old moderated 11 presidential debates between 1988 and 2008, and after writing a book last year about his experiences, Lehrer said he was through. But he was persuaded to come back Wednesday to handle the long-awaited contest between Romney and Obama.
Romney, aggressive from the outset, beat back some of Lehrers attempts to bring structure to the debate. At one point, when Lehrer tried to ask Romney a question, the Republican cut him off by saying of the president, Everything he said about my tax plan was inaccurate. Then he continued to outline his argument.
Lehrer tried to end the first segment of the debate, hoping to move on to another topic, but Romney stopped him.
I get the last word of this segment, Romney cut in.
Later, when Lehrer tried to cut off an Obama answer by saying the presidents two minutes were up, Obama said he had five seconds before you interrupted me. The president proceeded to speak for 30 more seconds.
Some of Lehrers questions were open-ended, encouraging candidates to wander off and make their own points. He asked the candidates to explain the difference between them on ways to cut the federal deficit. He also asked Romney, Would you have a question youd like to ask the president about what he just said?
Some of the commentary on Twitter compared Lehrer to a substitute teacher who had lost control of a classroom. Im waiting for one of them to throw a spitball at the teacher ... I mean Jim Lehrer, tweeted Sherri Shepherd of ABCs The View.
Regardless of who is winning this debate, Jim Lehrer is losing, tweeted Dan Abrams of ABC News, adding that Obama was not honest when he said that Lehrer had done a good job.
Veteran political writer Michael Tomasky of The Daily Best wrote: Definitely Lehrers last debate.
Conservative talk show host Dana Loesch tweeted at one point that Romney just ran right over Lehrer.
Democrats werent pleased about with Lehrer either. Stephanie Cutter, Obamas deputy campaign manager, told CNN that I wondered if we needed a moderator since we had Mitt Romney. On MSNBC, commentator Rachel Maddow said that Romney spent much of the night battling not just President Obama, but also the moderator of the debate, Jim Lehrer. And Mr. Romney won every exchange.
The Huffington Post also tweeted: Mitt Romney and Barack Obama moderated this debate. Where was Jim Lehrer?
To add insult to injury, Romney during the debate promised to cut off federal subsidies to PBS, even though he said, I love PBS, I love Big Bird. I like you, too, Jim.

Samuel Monte Jackson was given a 10-year sentence for the offense of burglary in first degree Jan. 10 by Superior Court Judge Hugh Wingfield with the first five years to be served in confinement and the remainder allowed to be served on probation.
Assistant District Attorney Keagan Waystack said Jackson entered a guilty plea to the charge of theft by receiving motor vehicle Sept. 24, 2012, and received five years. The plea was entered under the first offender act.
She said Jackson violated his probation by committing the new offense of burglary Oct. 30, 2012. He was adjudicated guilty for the September offense under the first offender act and resentenced to 10 years with five years to serve in prison. Both sentences are to run concurrent.
According to a report of the burglary charge by Capt. James Clark of the Jones County Sheriff's Department, a witness reported seeing Jackson and Travis Basley on a bicycle carrying a flat screen television Oct. 30, 2012. The witness followed the men and Basley reportedly pointed a shotgun at him but then dropped it and ran away.
The television and shotgun were stolen from a home on Yukon Road and investigators recovered fingerprints from both the stolen items. The television and shotgun were ultimately returned to the owner.

Sanctus Real offers rendition of 'Silent Night'Written by Jay Hathaway | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Sanctus Real, a Grammy-nominated Christian rock band from Toledo, offers a variation on one of the all-time great Christmas classics for "Holiday Wishes 3."
Drummer Mark Graalman said the Make-A-Wish benefit CD was a great opportunity to share "Silent Night," a song they already had in the bag.
"We recorded that song a little bit ago. I think it's been a few years, actually," Graalman said. "We had never recorded any Christmas tunes at that point, and the label wanted us to do one for a compilation."
As far as what song they would choose for their first Christmas offering, Graalman joked that the record label made it an easy choice.
"If I remember correctly, I don't [know] if we necessarily had a choice," he said. "I think they assigned us a song, to be honest. But obviously, who doesn't love Christmas music? We're all big fans of it."
"Silent Night" is traditionally a slow, ambient piece, and Sanctus Real stayed true to that while making it their own.
"It was kind of a nice challenge for us to do a song like that, because we've always been primarily a pop rock band. To take a beautiful Christmas song and make it 'us' somehow was a fun challenge," Graalman said.
He said that, as a faith-based band, recording Christmas music can be a spiritual experience.
"For us to be a bunch of Christian guys in a band together, everything we've done musically has revolved around our faith, pretty much," Graalman said. "It's always been the mission of the band to express our life experiences, but coming from a Christian worldview.
"It always felt very fitting for us to be involved in doing Christmas songs and Christmas tours. Really, it's a celebration of everything we believe in, so it's pretty cool."
Sanctus Real just wrapped up a fall tour of more than 20 cities, and is now taking a couple of weeks off. The band will embark on a brief Christmas tour, including a Dec. 1 stop in Fremont, and then head home for the holidays. They will then head to Nashville in January to start working on a new record.
While Graalman has never had any personal association with Make-A-Wish, he said it's definitely a charity he can get behind.
"Make-A-Wish is so amazing with what they are doing. I don't know anybody who doesn't love what they do. Actually, I was really excited to hear about it being a Make-A-Wish CD, because of the whole 'Batkid' thing recently."
Graalman was referring to a recent event in San Francisco, where 5-year-old Californian Miles Scott was able to live his dream of being Batman for the day, thanks to Make-A-Wish Foundation. Scott's leukemia is now in remission.
"They've brought a lot of joy and encouragement to a lot of families out there that have been through stuff that no one ever wants to go though," Graalman said. "We love being a part of it. More than anything, it's really just an honor to be part of such a project. It's very humbling."
Graalman added that he hopes listeners enjoy all of the bands and performers on the CD, and that listeners not familiar with Sanctus Real will enjoy their contribution as well.
"Maybe a new twist on a familiar song will turn some people on to the band, but either way, it's pretty cool to be a part of it."

The Wando football team had its season end in the first round of the 4A Division I playoffs this past Friday night at Byrnes, 42-14.
The Warriors (4-8) drew the No. 16 seed in the postseason after finishing third in its region and earned a date with Byrnes -- winners of the past two state championships. Byrnes (11-1) jumped out to a 28-6 halftime lead and although Wando running back Kenny Waring scored a touchdown and two-point conversion shortly after intermission, the Warriors never got closer than 14 points after that.
Wando only had nine first-downs and completed 3-of-7 passes for 19 yards and two interceptions. Byrnes, like the visitors from Mount Pleasant, struggled to take care of the football. The Rebels lost three fumbles and Wando also had a fumble.
Waring had 31 carries for 203 yards and both of Wando's touchdowns. No other player had more than 20 individual offensive yards. Waring finished his junior campaign with 1,450 rushing yards (8.2 yards per carry average) and 18 touchdowns. He also added 213 receiving yards on 21 receptions and another trip to the end zone this year.
Lineman Nolan Kelleher, who is committed to the University of Florida, had a stellar final game in a Wando uniform with six pancake blocks and one knockdown.
Warriors linebacker Tyler Ragsdale had eight solo tackles, two assists, four ball deflections and three quarterback hurries to lead the defensive effort.
Byrnes advanced to face No. 9 seed Lexington on Friday in its quest for three titles in a row. The Rebels have scored at least 35 points in every game this season.

Want a chance to meet Chris Wondolowski and his bobblehead?
Head to the Wells Fargo location at 1241 S. Mary Avenue in Sunnyvale on Friday from 5 - 7 p.m.
Trust us, it's going to be a party. Just check out the invite below:
Other than the Quakes vs. Vancouver game on Saturday night, do you have plans for the weekend?
Join us at the 2013 Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival. The annual event, held inside Central Park, features the talents of local and regional artists with nearly 175 booths, 25 community groups serving international foods, four vinters pouring fine wines, micro-brewed beer, live entertainment on three stages, and the popular Kids Kingdom. You get the pitcture. It's going to be a fun event, and the San Jose Earthquakes Shakers will be there with KEZR and KBAY.
The best part? It's free to the public. The festival runs on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
What do you think is going on here?
Not your typical Tuesday at training... pic.twitter.com/eaZsoFcvFe
— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) September 10, 2013
No - the Bash Brothers are not involved. No - it's not a rookie either. Apparently, Adam Jahn has another costume.
Pro Wrestling Revolution brought four Luchadores to Quakes training on Tuesday. You would think those masks would get in the way - but man, they can play.
Stay tuned for a little video coming your way soon. You can expect Luchadores dancing, capes flying, even a little closelining of Evan Newton... the whole shebang.
Come see them in person this weekend, too. Don't miss the Luchadores at Fiesta Latina Night when the Quakes face Vancouver Whitecaps FC this Saturday, 7:30 p.m. at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Last night, history was made yet again for the USMNT. It was another #DosACero type of night at Crew Stadium in Columbus. With their victory over Mexico and the Honduras-Panama draw, the USMNT's dreams of earning a berth to their seventh straight World Cup were fulfilled.
Right in the middle of it all was Quakes defender Clarence Goodson. After being called in on just Saturday by head man Klinsmann, Goodson put in a solid 90 minutes for the national team squad - anchoring the defense well and causing havoc in US set pieces.
Nothing but praise for the Quakes man from the critics, either. Check out the most recent player ratings here.
Just a few days ago, Clarence Goodson was called in by USMNT head man Jurgen Klinsmann to join the squad ahead of tonight's crucial World Cup Qualifier against Mexico.
Goodson, who most recently featured for the Red, White and Blue during the CONCACAF Gold Cup, is a veteran to USMNT World Cup squad. Having been on the 2010 World Cup roster, Goodson is no stranger to playing a key role for the USMNT's backline. He has earned 42 caps and three goals for the national team.
Tonight, the USMNT could clinch a spot to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. A victory against Mexico, and a Honduras tie or win against Panama, and the USMNT will be on their way to their seventh straight World Cup.
You can watch all the #USAvMEX action on ESPN, WatchESPN and Unimas. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. PT. If you can't watch live, follow @ussoccer on Twitter for live updates throughout the match.
Get those creative juices flowing, Quakes fans.
We're drawing a blank for a caption for the photo below, and we need your help.
Have any ideas? From now until tomorrow (Sept. 11) at noon, submit your most creative entry in comments on this blog post. Our favorite will win autographed Lenny and Wondo player cards.
UPDATE: We had so many creative options, but we finally have chosen our winner. Congratulations to Byron O'Brien - we like where your head's at. Incredibulus Goalus.

Gmail Labs has a new feature for organizing your messages: Smart Labels. Many people create filters that label messages from mailing lists, newsletters, so Google decided to use artificial intelligence algorithms to categorize messages. Right now, there are only three smart labels: bulk (for newsletters), notifications (for confirmation messages, alerts) and forums (for mailing lists). By default, all the messages labeled as "bulk" are automatically archived, but you can change this setting.
"Smart Labels play nice with other labels and filters too. On the Filters tab under Settings, you'll find that these filters can be edited just like any others. From there, you can also edit your existing filters to avoid having them Smart Labeled or change whether mail in a Smart Label skips your inbox," explains Google.
In fact, when you create a filter, Google shows an additional option: category. You can choose from: bulk, forums, notifications, personal, promotions. The first three categories already have corresponding smart labels and all the messages classified as "promotions" are labeled "bulk". The "personal" category includes the rest of your messages.
Google's categorization algorithms aren't perfect, so you may find messages that don't belong to one of three categories, but they're labeled as "notifications" or "bulk". Use the "labels" drop-down to remove the labels that are incorrectly added and help Google improve its algorithms.

In case you missed it, about a week ago Dan Cathy, the president of the very popular fast food chain, said, "We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit." That comment started a firestorm.
The LBGT community began to try to convince people to boycott Chick-fil-A regardless of the fact that the popular chain doesn't discriminate against gays as employees or patrons. That doesn't seem to matter in this case. It appears as though they just want to punish someone for his protected free speech. They apparently convinced some in government to support the boycott. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said "Chick-fil-A does not represent Chicago values." I guess Chick-fil-A needs to have a few murders per day in their stores to meet his standard? Not sure what "Chicago values" are but, right now isn't the time to make Chicago the standard for values.
For the first time in my life, today I visited a Chick-fil-A to show my support for Cathy's right to free speech, answering the call of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who had proclaimed today "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day." I live in LA so, I was not expecting much in way of support but, I was not just surprised, I was blown away. The Chick-fil-A in Northridge, California, had a line that twisted throughout the parking lot. It was almost 100 degrees but, that didn't seem to deter anyone. They were peaceful and the demographic was wide ranging. Blacks, whites, teenagers, kids, Latinos and all other categories you could imagine. At this location there were no anti-Chick-fil-A protesters.
So, how was the chicken? Amazing! Now I know why people love this place. The store was run extremely well. Clean, polite and efficient. The staff brought water to those in line, they handed out umbrellas for protection from the sun and they served delicious food quickly. This has been replicated across the nation. This huge one day movement involving millions of supporters made their opinions heard and voted with their money and presence. It has been estimated that the chain will have booked almost $100 million in revenue or more just today.
When I returned home I turned on the news to see how this would be reported. NBC in Los Angeles chose to focus on the protesters. Not the ones supporting Chick-fil-A but, the ones protesting the supporters. The protesters were a tiny fraction compared to the supporters, yet the media focused 90% of their attention on those few. This does not represent the truth of the actual event. The meme from the anti-Chick-fil-A groups proclaim that opposition to gay marriage is anti-gay.
To make it worse, the fast food Wendy's chain tweeted " we proudly serve everyone" insinuating that Chick-fil-A doesn't serve everyone. They quickly deleted the tweet as they were corrected by thousands in the twitter sphere.
The issue simply isn't so simple. For thousands of years marriage has been defined by religion as between a man and a woman. In the past, couples were married by their church, not the state, up until people began requesting legal support from the state to define their separation or divorce. For most Christians, this has never been about equal rights but about attaching gay marriage to the definition defined by the bible. Christians get married before God and not the state. The state has laws that protect and grant couples' rights based on that marriage. I, nor most Christians I know, have never opposed gay couples having equal rights to heterosexual couples, they have only been opposed to the church being forced to redefine what it has recognized as marriage for thousands of years within the church.
Isn't it time we be truthful about this debate? The manipulation about these sensitive issues within our media needs to stop if we are ever going to solve this very important and very sensitive issue. You can see by this picture I took, there were no protestors within my view. You be the judge.
Correction: Dan Cathy is the president and COO of Chick-fil-A. I previously wrote that he was the CEO.

Chattanooga improves to 20-3 overall for Head Coach Wes Moore's 13th 20-win season and sits atop the Southern Conference standings at 13-1. The win was also the Lady Mocs' 23rd straight in McKenzie Arena. Elon falls to 12-10 on the year and 9-4 in league play.
Jackson was 6-for-8 from the field with a pair of 3-pointers for a team-high 14 points. She was joined in double-figures by juniors Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) and Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) with 12 and 11 points respectively. Dewart pulled down eight boards for the Lady Mocs while Dupree drained her one 3-point attempt in just seven minutes on the floor. Junior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) recorded eight points and nine rebounds with two blocked shots.
Elon got out to an 8-2 start on the Lady Mocs and stretched the lead to 14-5 at the 11:52 mark. With a "small" lineup on the court that included freshman Alicia "Red" Payne (Memphis, Tenn.) at the point, classmate Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) on the wing and sophomore Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn, Ga.) at small forward, the Lady Mocs turned up the heat. Payne drove the lane and hit a layup sparking a 28-4 run that spanned the final 9:22 of the first half and the first 2:44 of the second to put Chattanooga out front by a commanding 33-18 lead.
Chattanooga held the Phoenix to a season-low 40 points and no 3-pointers. Ali Ford hit for just five points on the night, a season-low for the SoCon's second leading scorer who averages 17.0 points per game. Elon was led by Kelsey Evans' game-high 19 points and team-best eight rebounds. Kelsey Harris hit for eight points, four assists and three boards.
With Elon out front by nine midway through the first half, Payne hit her layup followed by a layup from Jackson. The pair teamed up on the ensuing Elon possession with Payne forcing a turnover and feeding Jackson on the fastbreak for another layup and Chattanooga was closing in, forcing the Phoenix to call for time with 7:37 to play and UTC trialing 14-11.
Following the timeout, Payne fed Dewart inside whose layup cut it to 14-13 with 6:27 to play. After a layup from Evans put the Phoenix out front 16-13, Jackson drained the first of her two 3-pointers at the 5:15 mark to tie it up 16-16. Towns grabbed a steal from Ford and fed senior Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) down the court for a fastbreak layup to give Chattanooga an 18-16 lead and the Lady Mocs would never trail again.
Evans was fouled on her game-tying layup with 4:44 to play, but missed the free throw. Hall, Jackson and Towns combined for the final seven Chattanooga points and the Lady Mocs led 25-18 at the half.
With the starters back in the game for Chattanooga, junior Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) hit a jumper 30 seconds into the half sparking an 8-0 run capped off by a steal and layup by senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) to make it 33-18, UTC's largest lead of the game so far.
Chattanooga outscored Elon 16-7 over the final 7:42 to get a 23-point win over the Phoenix, 63-40. The Lady Mocs' bench outscored the Phoenix 31-8 with UTC gaining a 36-24 advantage in the paint. Chattanooga forced 17 turnovers and capitalized with 18 points compared to the Phoenix' six points off 11 miscues. The Lady Mocs had 11 steals on the night and outscored Elon 14-2 on fast break points and dished out 19 assists - second most this season.
The two teams were even on the board at halftime at 22-22, but the Lady Mocs outrebounded the Phoenix 24-14 in the second with 16 offensive rebounds to Elon's 11.
At halftime, Chattanooga honored its Legends with players and coaches from the last 38 years in attendance. Former head coaches Grace Keith (1974-76) and Sharon Fanning-Otis (1976-1987) anchored the honorees that featured several of the all-time statistical leaders.
The Lady Mocs return to action Monday at 5:30 p.m. at the Roundhouse. UTC will host UNCG in the first game of a double-header. UNCG improved to 5-17 overall and 2-11 in league play with a 52-51 win at Samford Saturday.
Tickets are available at the McKenzie Arena box office by calling 423-266-MOCS (6627) or online at the official website for Chattanooga Athletics, GoMocs.com.

Revolution is in the air as GERMINAL re-creates the gut-wrenching poverty and the intense daily struggles of French coal-miners in 1884. Etienne Lantier, an idealistic migrant worker, arrives in the forbidding town of Montsou in the bleak area of northern France to earn a living as a miner. As conditions worsen, his youthful idealism transforms him into the unwitting leader of a massive workers' strike, leading to violent clashes with armed soldiers brought in to defend the mine. The result is a story which depicts how the most desperate of circumstances give rise to the noblest of passions as well as the ensuing destruction. Considered to be novelist Emile Zola's masterpiece, Germinal is notable for its uncompromising and harsh realism. This dramatic adaptation, a world premiere, turns the story into a bold, theatrical display of raw revolutionary energy in the spirit of Les Miserables.
