WASHINGTON — As the countdown to summer continues, avid beach goers can now get their hands on a variety of new gadgets just in time for summer vacation.
When facing the age-old dilemma of how to apply sunscreen on your back, you can either awkwardly ask your neighbor for assistance or use My Cabana Boy. This device helps apply sunscreen in tough-to-reach areas and operates using any spray lotion bottle.
There is also the BeachBUB, which acts as a supportive base for anchoring a beach umbrella to the ground. The BeachBUB is portable and withstands wind speeds of up to 42 mph.
Another gadget that you can make use of this summer is The Beach Glass. This outdoor drinkware is durable, reusable and has a pointed stem that can be placed in the sand for support. The glass also floats.
All of these beach gadgets cost less than $20.
See video below: How to use My Cabana Boy

The anatomy of Pluto, encased in ice.
The time has come to have a look at Pluto. We are certainly having a rather heavy evening tonight! The existence of Pluto was established mathematically in 1915 by the astronomer Percival Lowell, working in Arizona, although it was actually first sighted in 1930 after Lowell's death. It is inclined to the orbital plane of the other planets by up to 17º and has a pronounced elliptical orbit, which means that it travels much faster through some signs than through others. With an average period of twenty years in a sign, it actually takes approximately thirty-one years to transit through the sign of Taurus, when it is at its greatest distance from the Sun, and approximately twelve years to transit through the sign of Scorpio, when it is at its closest to the Sun and inside the orbit of Neptune.
Audience: I knew there was something weird about Pluto. It's also very small, isn't it? There is a model of the relative sizes of all the planets at the London Planetarium. I remember seeing Pluto and thinking that it was really really small. You get the Earth and Venus and Mars, which are all broadly the same size, although the Moon is smaller, and then you get to the huge planets Jupiter and Saturn, and then you walk on past Saturn to Uranus and Neptune until you get to this very tiny planet Pluto.
Clare: Yes, it's very small and very dark. Apparently it is one tenth of the expected brightness for its size, so it is considered to be very dense, swallowing light.
Audience: It sounds like a black hole.
Clare: Yes, this is an excellent image for Pluto, a symbol of condensed and concentrated power. In Greek mythology, Hades or Pluto was immensely powerful and wealthy, the god of buried treasure and of the underworld, where the souls of the dead reside. I am sure you are familiar with the myth of Persephone, who was forcibly abducted by Pluto and snatched away into the underworld. Symbolically, Pluto describes a forced initiation which appears to come out of nowhere but changes our lives forever. It is where we are taken over by forces we never believed we were going to get involved with.
It is interesting that there is an ongoing debate about whether Pluto is in fact a planet at all, or whether it should be classified as belonging to the Kuiper belt. From a psychological perspective, if Pluto does not belong in the solar system then it doesn't belong within the human psyche, and we don't have to take responsibility for it as an aspect of ourselves. Perhaps it is not surprising, therefore, that the astronomers are trying to get it removed. An interesting development is that Pluto is in fact a binary system with a moon which is approximately the same size. This moon is called Charon, the ferryman in Greek myth, who rowed people over the river Styx into the land of the dead in exchange for a piece of silver. This seems to me to be a rather important discovery from a symbolic point of view. Now that we have discovered Charon, we have a link to Pluto - a vessel in which to travel to Hades. We can get there, but we will have to pay the price.
Pluto, in an alchemical engraving from Escalier des sages by Barent Coenders van Helpen (1689), holds the key to the alchemical operation of putrefactio, which opens the door to the underworld and makes possible the transformation of the primal substance. Neptune reclines on the ground beside him.
The synchronicity
In common with the other outer planets, Pluto has come to be associated with the particular types of mass movements which were occurring around the time of its discovery. This was the era which saw the rise of a group of extraordinarily powerful, brutal, charismatic dictators who carried enormous collective power. In 1930, for example, Stalin declared all the farms collectives and instigated the purges against Trotsky's supporters. Purging is a very powerful Pluto word, meaning to raise something to the ground, to annihilate something with the purpose of purifying it. Mao Tse Tung's communist revolution began with his Long March in 1934, during which 100,000 people perished, and at the same time, the fascist leaders, Mussolini and Hitler, came to power in Europe. In one year, between 1928 and 1929, for example, the Nazi vote rose from 800,000 to 6,409,000. Between them, these leaders, who could also be described as megalomaniacs, were the cause of literally millions of deaths, often of their own people.
Audience: So you are saying that when these outer planets are first identified, then it is time for them to come into mass consciousness?
Clare: Exactly. What we can certainly say is that before this time nothing like this had ever occurred on this kind of scale or intensity.
Audience: It seems as if the energy of these new planets is much more intense around their discovery, and then it dies away. Maybe all the stored up unconscious energy has to burst out when a new planet is discovered.
Clare: Yes, this certainly seems to be the case. There are other movements which belong to this period which reflect similar themes of brutal power, great wealth, control and crisis. For example, Prohibition throughout the USA during the 1920s is often associated with the Mafia. The recent film, Road to Perdition, is an excellent portrayal of the dark power of the Mafia during those times. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 wiped out $26 billion, causing a global economic crisis. And yet, out of the rubble, in 1930, the Empire State Building was built in an astonishingly short period of time. The splitting of the atom released enormous power, and coincided with the foundation of modern depth psychology, pioneered by Freud. Freud's psychic archaeology involved delving into the unconscious to discover repressed and buried material. The task he set himself was the excavation of the buried contents of the unconscious and the release of the suppressed life force, which enabled his patients to experience psychic healing and a profound experience of rebirth. These themes were also reflected in the arts. The romanticism of the mid-19th century gave way to surrealism and to new images of a harsh, dismembered, fragmented and deconstructed world, given expression in the work of Picasso and others. Jazz replaced the romantic music of 19th century composers such as Debussy.
Pluto rules anything that is underground: potholes, power stations, secret societies, political underground movements, volcanoes, earthquakes, depth psychology, liquidators, detectives, anything to do with waste, recycling, sewage works, bodily elimination and sexuality. In short, Pluto rules all things which are dark, buried and taboo, the things that no-one wants to think about or talk about. Collectively, Pluto concerns the organic laws of decay, death and regeneration of all living things in the interests of collective survival.
Pluto in the birth chart
As an invisible force, Pluto has to be experienced before we can truly understand and appreciate its power. We cannot grasp its meaning from a distance or with our intellect, because it is so primal and primitive. Pluto is a deep reservoir of concentrated power in our birth chart, which can remain dormant for a long time, like a volcano. In its dormant phase, it tends to be a dumb note in the birth chart and it is perfectly possible to live for long periods as if it didn't exist. If we mention issues of power and control to people in their dormant Pluto phase, they are unlikely to know what we are talking about. In its active phase, however, Pluto will start to rumble and the intensity will start to build deep in the unconscious until the tension of the suppressed energy becomes unbearable. The power of the feelings which are eventually unleashed can take us completely by surprise. Pluto undermines our sense of ourselves as civilised and reasonable human beings and plunges us into what can feel like an alien and terrifying underworld of savage emotions such as rage, jealousy, obsession, vengeance, power battles, control issues, survival anxiety and murderousness.
When Pluto is activated it is obsessive and compulsive, and pulls everything towards it, like a black hole. At root, Pluto describes the life force itself, the urge to bring to the surface and eliminate anything which is no longer serves life because it has become poisonous, decayed or rotten. Pluto purges and regenerates. It we can surrender to this process, and we often have no choice in the matter, then we can experience Pluto's healing and cleansing power for ourselves. Naturally, we never choose this, since Pluto's function is to take us to hell and back. Pluto is the principle of intensity, catharsis, power and control, purging, regeneration and collective survival. It describes how and where we feel compelled to fight for our personal survival, where we are obsessive and how we sabotage ourselves and others in an effort to maintain control.
As long as we ignore Pluto by trying to control it or by denying its existence in our chart, we will deny the primitive, savage, dark and destructive aspects of our nature, with the result that we will project these qualities onto others or onto the outside world. Once Pluto is activated, however, it describes how and where the individual can be the vessel through which that which is poisonous and destructive in the collective can be purged, healed and cleansed. If we consciously accept the challenge of Pluto in our charts, we can cooperate with the process of psychic purging which is a necessary prerequisite to any genuine self healing.
Audience: So we are still struggling with accepting responsibility for it?
Clare: Yes. As long as we are identified with an image of ourselves as perfectly civilised, righteous and upstanding people, then we need others to carry the darkness or evil for us. This will enable us to keep to our moral high ground and be outraged by the terrible deeds and behaviour of others, and we will continue looking for and seeing and even creating the darkness 'out there' until we can each carry the burden of our own potential for savage, brutal behaviour.
Aspects to Pluto
Both Sally and David have Pluto-Sun aspects, which indicate personal (Sun) intensity (Pluto) and survival issues. Sometimes the individual's real identity (Sun) is hidden from them (Pluto), to the extent that they develop a 'false self' or false identity, which protects them from exposure (Pluto), but also keeps them hidden (Pluto) from themselves (Sun). From the ego's perspective, the individual is likely to feel vulnerable and open to attack, even to the point of paranoia (Pluto). They will find it impossible to trust, and will seek to maintain control over others at all times. Ultimately, a Pluto-Sun person is capable of delving into their own dark depths (Pluto) in order to uncover their own authentic identity (Sun), take their own power (Sun Pluto) and to devote it to the service of others.
Pluto-Moon describes an intensely (Pluto) emotional and instinctive nature (Moon). If the ego is involved, Sally is likely to be possessive, devouring and emotionally invasive, to the extent that anyone who lands on her spider's web will be trapped, bound by emotional (Moon) blackmail (Pluto) and unable to escape. She is equally capable of destroying or healing (Pluto) herself and others on a powerful psychic level (Moon). With this aspect devoted to the service of others, rather than to her own needs, she will not be afraid to put her life on the line in the interests of healing and nurturing others and setting them free.
Pluto-Venus indicates that Sally will have an intense (Pluto) desire nature (Venus), and an attraction (Venus) to hidden, taboo relationships (Pluto). As long as this aspect is functioning in an ego-centric manner, Sally may use her undoubted powers of attraction (Venus) to control, ensnare, seduce, manipulate and destroy others. Positively, this aspect describes Sally's capacity to go through hell and back (Pluto) for what she values (Venus), without fears for her own safety, to fight for others who are, for example, sexually (Venus) exploited (Pluto), to devote herself to healing (Pluto) people with sexually transmitted (Venus) diseases (Pluto), or to force taboo sexual practices (Pluto) to the surface so that they can be eliminated (Pluto).
The Pluto-Mercury contact in David's chart describes the power (Pluto) of language (Mercury), the compulsion (Pluto) to give voice (Mercury) to what is taboo or secret in order to defuse its hidden power (Pluto). If the interests of the ego are involved, this aspect can describe interrogation, the use of verbal (Mercury) intimidation and manipulation (Pluto) of others for one's own benefit. One way of doing this is by being totally silent (Mercury-Pluto), which can be a way of manipulating people into speaking first and therefore exposing themselves.
An individual with a Pluto-Mars contact never seems to feel alive unless they are fighting (Mars) for their personal survival (Pluto) or have put their lives on the line in some way. They tend to take themselves to the edge (Mars), which is where they feel truly alive (Pluto). This is an excellent combination for a racing driver or for a member of the SAS, anyone who challenges themselves (Mars) to survive (Pluto). Tremendously driven and determined, these people come alive (Mars) in a crisis (Pluto). If the interests of the ego are involved, this aspect describes the use of brutal force (Mars) and control (Pluto) over others for personal benefit. The most positive expression of this aspect is the power and determination and courage to put one's life on the line for the benefit of others and for the healing of the collective.

Jennifer Costello has "kicked cancer butt" as she vowed to do March 3 before she underwent a double mastectomy and the initial stage of breast reconstruction surgery at Clovis Community Medical Center. She's completely cancer free with no need for any follow-up radiation or chemotherapy.
Randy Freet's path to a nursing career wasn't a typical one – but it appears that path led him to the right place. Freet has spent his entire 32-year nursing career with Community Medical Centers, including 12 years at the former Sierra Community Hospital and 20 at Clovis Community Medical Center.
The massive expansion of Clovis Community Medical Center is just what the local economy and the development of the city needs, said business people, politicians and economic development officials at a June 2 breakfast meeting.
Community Medical Centers is pushing ahead with major expansion plans for its Clovis hospital, despite tough economic times that have put some hospitals at risk of going out of business. The sour economy has led to perhaps the biggest need for donor-investors in Community's 113-year history, and a familiar family is helping to answer the need.
There can be a few anxious moments as a woman waits for that first follow-up mammogram after having breast cancer surgery. That was true for Theresa Polzien who shared her story with Healthcare Heroes television viewers.
When he got sick, Marty Nunes didn't expect anything more than the flu. When his wife Kimberly decorated the tree, she didn't expect to celebrate Christmas in March. Their 7-year-old son Matthew didn't expect a daily visit to the hospital to be part of his after-school routine. And the entire Nunes family didn't expect to spend almost three months praying for a miracle – but they did.
It was a cool, crisp morning last January when Katrina Harman skied down the slopes at Sierra Summit near Shaver Lake. At the Double Black Diamond run (expert only), she stopped, whipped out her phone and dialed orthopedic surgeon Peter Simonian at Simonian Sports Medicine Clinic in Fresno. She never expected the man who made possible her return to the Black Diamond to answer her call.

- What hardware does Ubuntu Touch support? 14 answers
Ubuntu Touch was made for mobiles, as i understand it, but would it be possible to make it work on a touch computer? Like if I get a touch computer with windows on it, I would like to install the ubuntu touch OS on it instead, or anything else that would be similar. I havent't tried anything because I couldn't find anything that could be installed on a computer. Thanks for answering! :)

Dr. Tamara Rozental on a training run.
His muscles ached like nothing he'd ever felt before as he passed Mile 13. Pushing against a runner's wall and a strong headwind, it was like running uphill the whole way. As a distraction, Alok Gupta reminded himself, as he often has these past four months, why he voluntarily subjected himself to such torture.
If his former patients could survive twin explosions, multiple surgeries, physical therapy and the emotional strain of last April's Boston Marathon bombings, he thought, he could certainly run a few - OK, 26 - miles in their honor.

Scott Horton Interviews Karen Kwiatkowski
Karen Kwiatkowski, columnist at lewrockwell.com and retired USAF lieutenant colonel, discusses the Bush administration's early Iraq War planning – well before they played up the WMD threat and sold the war to Americans; how the Office of Special Plans leaked classified information to cooperative journalists willing to press the case for war; the OSP's dissolution soon after the war started – since its raison d'être was fulfilled; unpopular neocons who must attain power through appointed, rather than elected, government positions; and the ease-of-victory factor that explains why some wars are fought, and others aren't.
Background articles on Karen Kwiatkowski's interaction with Douglas Feith's Office of Special Plans:
2006 CSPAN interview by Brian Lamb
"Career Officer Does Eye-Opening Stint Inside Pentagon"
MP3 here. (20:26)
Karen Kwiatkowski, Ph.D., is a retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel, who spent her final years in uniform working at the Pentagon's Near East/South Asia bureau (NESA). Her assignment was to work on policy papers for the Secretary of Defense and other top brass at the Pentagon. Shortly thereafter, she was assigned to a newly-formed bureau inside the Pentagon called the Office of Special Plans, which was created to help the Pentagon deal with issues in Iraq.
Deeply frustrated and alarmed, Kwiatkowski, still on active duty, took the unusual step of penning an anonymous column of internal Pentagon dissent that was posted on the Internet by former Colonel David Hackworth, America's most decorated veteran. She lives with her freedom-loving family in the Shenandoah Valley, and among other things, writes for lewrockwell.com.
9 Responses to "Karen Kwiatkowski"
Karen Kwiatkowski is a true American patriot. The same hawkish pre-emptive rationale that beset the Bush cabal regards creating a phoney threat to America as a justification for war, also applies to Afghanistan. During the summer of 2001, months prior to 9/11, U.S. officials told Pakistan's Secretary, Niaz Naik, that they would attack Afghanistan "before the snow flies in October." He said that the U.S. was plotting regime change. It has been argued that their motive was failing pipeline negotiations with Taliban who wanted to share any contract with Bridas of Argentina. A State Department official (Christina Rocca) threatened Taliban emissary Sayed Hashemi with "you either accept our carpet of gold or we will bury you in a carpet of bombs."
We now know that no Afghan or Afghanistan played any role in 9/11, and that the Taliban made many overtures to rid themselves of Osama bin Laden but were rebuffed at every attempt.
So that leaves us with the pipeline rationale combined with basing priveledges in Afghanistan as the motive for war, which also serves to deny our competitiors (Russia, China, and Iran) a piece of the action.
58,000+ Americans died in the Vietnam War as we killed a milllion Vietnamese – all due to LIES by Johnson with the complicit support of the Congress.
Nothing has changed – we continue to be LIED into illegal and unnecessary wars.
Perhaps that would change IF the sons and daughters of EVERY member of Congress and of EVERY member of the ADMINISTRATION were required to serve in those wars?
The media is complicit not incompetent
Colonel Kwiatkowski is a primary source for anyone who wants to learn about the warmongering machinations of the neocon vermin.
She's right: The U.S. Government only attacks and/or threatens countries with third-rate militaries. (Not that the U.S. should attack or threaten anyone, you understand.)
i learn every day thankyou anti war
Smithy100 is absolutely correct. I salute you. The American people will continue to be ignorant of world affairs as long as our media is dominated or controlled by Americans whose primary loyalty is to a foreign country rather than to the U.S.
Hermes Trismegistus
If the neocons get their war with Iran, that will be the end of the USA. Remains to be seen if there will be a Kreisau Circle American-style to resist an attack on Persia. Only a handful of notable, high-level people stood up to the Irak Krieg in 2003; maybe next time it will be different.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with all people you actually know what you are speaking about! Bookmarked. Please additionally consult with my site =). We could have a link change agreement between us
This saves you a lot of time if you're a frequent traveler, as it prevents you from having to remove your backpack every time you go through security. You wouldn't want anything within your bag poking you in the back,
why would you think your dog would. To do this I still put
a large plastic bag in my backpack and pack everything in

With five days left until the New Year you should be preparing a financial plan for 2011. Your plan should have a budget so you can see exactly where your money is going.
In 2011 your goal should be to slash your debt.
You need to figure out your wants vs. needs. Do you really need the most expensive cable package? If not get rid of it this week.
Look around your house to see where money is being wasted. Are the lights left on in empty rooms? Is there water dripping from pipes that's turned off, is the thermostat turned up too high?
The gym membership that you bought last January but don't use; can you think about alternative ways to exercise without spending $30 a month?
Do you have a contingency plan in case your job cuts back your hours or if your car breaks down? If not, now is the time to start an emergency savings fund in case the unexpected happens at least you will be financially prepared.
Do you ever think about what money really means to you and how it affects the way you save or spend it in this economy?
In your plan make sure you write down goals for what you want to happen when you get out of debt?
If you use these last few days of 2010 to plan and prepare for 2011, then you will be one step closer to your goal of being financially free.
What is your financial plan ? Feel free to comment.

The world of heavy metal can be an intimidating place to enter into if you're not prepared. Those heavy guitar riffs can make you feel uncomfortable, for instance. Plus, all that hair. But, with a little bit of patience, even the most casual headbangers out there can be well on their way to being full-on metalheads thanks to these five heavy metal movies. Enjoy, and don't hurt yourself.
"Wayne's World"
A good comedy can make even the most alienating subcultures seem appealing – and when that comedy is of the goes-down-smooth variety that SNL alum Mike Myers specialized in in the early 90s, pretty much everyone can get on board. The gags are fast and sharp, and there's plenty of genuine affection for the hard rock / heavy metal world that Wayne Campbell occupies (or wishes he occupied, anyway).
"Last Days Here"
Bobby Liebling isn't a household name. He could have been, though – his career as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Pentagram showed tons of potential, but due to Liebling's difficult personality and bad luck, the band became a small favorite of a cult of followers rather than a global phenomenon. This documentary begins with Liebling living in his parents' basement so strung out on drugs and paranoia it's amazing he's able to get up and walk around. Will he stage a comeback and reclaim his life? (Yes, he will)
"Zombie Nightmare"
The opening credits alone of "Zombie Nightmare," made famous by its being featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000," make it a great heavy metal movie. Set to Motörhead's metal classic "Ace of Spades," the sequence sets the tone for this bizarre horror film, also featuring the band Pantera. Even the film's star, Jon Mikl Thor, is something of a heavy metal artist, doing the music for the movie as well.
The definitive documentary about a rock band isn't a real documentary and the band isn't a real band. But it still captures the heavy metal lifestyle as well as (or better than) any documentary ever could. Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer are the dimwitted, self-important, yet completely loveable members of Spinal Tap, and the "rockumentary" following their fall from grace is one of the funniest movies ever made. And the music is pretty good, too.
"Heavy Metal"
Heavy metal music isn't known for subtlety, so it's fitting that this heavy metal movie on a list of heavy metal movies is actually called "Heavy Metal." Based on the science fiction/fantasy magazine of the same name, the movie features songs from metal and proto-metal acts like Black Sabbath, Nazareth, Cheap Trick, and DEVO (???). Well, three out of four ain't bad.

It's a battle of bottom biscuits in what I think is also a battle of the sexes? I'm not really 100% sure the one in the backpack is a dude, but let's be real here, that outfit doesn't work well on any human being so it doesn't matter.

Horndogs looking for a quick cuddle-and-run, listen up. A new study from really smart scientists has found that the chances of a cuddle session leading to sex are only one in six.
Researchers at the University of Michigan looked at the methods, motivations and eventual outcomes of the average couple's cuddling sessions, and the results show it usually only leads to conversation, not copulation.

Report: Patrick Robinson was Vikings' target
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Rick Spielman says there are four players atop the Minnesota Vikings' board entering today's second round of the NFL Draft.
He wouldn't name names on Thursday night -- we speculated on some possibilties -- but the Star Tribune is reporting one name the Vikings won't get.
According to this tweet from Chip Scoggins, the Vikings hoped Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson would be available at No. 34 when they traded down four spots with Detroit late Thursday night. But New Orleans drafted Robinson at No. 32 -- perhaps further raising the chances the Vikings might trade down again.
Spielman laid the groundwork by all but announcing the No. 34 pick is up for bid. Now, teams have all day to wonder if someone else might trade into that spot, potentially squeezing more value from that pick as the Vikings accumulate picks.
The second round begins at 5 p.m. today, with the third round to follow. The Vikings also own their own pick in the second (No. 62 overall) and third (No. 93) rounds. They have six choices on Day 2, including two each in the fifth and seventh.
Reusse's resting the pipes today, so Phil Mackey and I will be talking draft, among other things, from noon to 2. You can stream it right here.
UPDATE, 11:47 a.m.: Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns already have contacted the St. Louis Rams about moving up to the No. 33 pick. To Browns own the 38th pick, the Bills the 41st pick. It likely would cost a fifth-round pick to jump to the top of the round.

Some Dems Want FTC to Go After Crisis Pregnancy Centers
May 17, 2013 - 2:20 pm
A group of congressional Democrats are renewing an effort to target crisis pregnancy centers they claim lure women in by deceptively making women think they can get an abortion there.
The vague Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women's Services Act has been introduced in past Congresses with no success. Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Frank R. Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Richard Blumenthal(D-Conn.) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) decided to reintroduce for the 113th Congress timed to mark National Women's Health Week.
"While I will defend crisis centers' First Amendment rights even though I disagree with their view of abortion, those that practice bait-and-switch should be held accountable so that pregnant women are not deceived at an extremely vulnerable time in their lives," Maloney said.
In years past, the bill gave the Federal Trade Commission enforcement powers to stop "any person from advertising with the intent to deceptively create the impression that such person is a provider of abortion services if such person does not provide abortion services." It would be a violation of section 5(a)(1) of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
Beyond that, it gives wide discretion to which operations the government could decide to close.
"Deceptive practices that prey on women at pregnancy centers are particularly repugnant and reprehensible – and should be strictly punished and stopped," Blumenthal said. "This bill would end misleading and false pitches that exploit women seeking vital health care."
The bill is backed by NARAL and the National Abortion Federation. "We know these crisis pregnancy centers lie to women in the moment they most need accurate information to decide the future of their pregnancy and their lives. It's despicable that anyone would take advantage of that decision to drive their own political agenda," said Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. "We're thrilled that Sen. Menendez is taking action to hold these fake 'clinics' accountable."
Planned Parenthood also regularly lashes out at centers they call "fake clinics run by people who are anti-abortion" that "have a history of giving women wrong, biased information to scare them into not having abortions."

RENSSSELAER FALLS - On a Saturday evening nearly five years ago, about a dozen people gathered at the home of Reginald S. Curtis, an ordained minister and town of Edwards native who was eager to spread his Christian faith.
That humble beginning marked the launch of Fresh Start Fellowship Church, a non-denominational, born-again Christian group that has since grown to roughly 80 members who reside in several St. Lawrence County communities.
After outgrowing a series of worship sites, church members now gather 11 a.m. each Sunday at the former First Tabernacle Church, affectionately known as the "log cabin church."
Constructed of pine wood, the church, 50 County Route 14, is sparsely decorated and has a relaxed, homey feel. It was constructed a few miles outside the village of Rensselaer Falls about 18 years ago by Keith and Norma Stiles.
"I believe God led us here," said Mr. Curtis, the 51-year-old church pastor who resides in DeKalb Junction. "This church really lends itself to a spiritual family. It feels like you are going home to be with your family."
Through fundraisers, contributions from members and other donations, the congregation is close to purchasing the wooden church. So far, about $42,000 of the $50,000 purchase price has been raised.
Mr. Curtis said he feels Fresh Start Fellowiship provides a welcoming, non-judgmental place for those who are searching for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
A five-member church council meets regularly to make decisions and discuss church issues.
"Our objective here every Sunday morning is to give people the message that they can get a fresh start," Mr. Curtis said. "No matter who they are or what they've done, they are welcome here."
Rose I. Palmer, a senior citizen from Gouverneur who regularly attends Sunday services with her husband, said church members are accepting of others.
"We all mess up, and we all need to be able to start over," Mrs. Palmer said. "God is very gracious. He gives us second chances over and over. Everybody encourages everybody here."
The church also practices full immersion baptisms for those who have voiced their commitment to following Jesus Christ. An above-ground swimming pool on the church grounds is used for baptisms. On Sunday, six adults were baptized before the congregation. During services, members have a chance to share testimonials if they wish. The church is drawing families and individuals from Ogdensburg, Lisbon, Gouverneur, Fowler, Edwards, Russell, Canton, DeKalb, Prescott, Ont., and other communities.
Timothy H. Boprey, a church deacon, described baptism as a "public display of submission to Christ before family and friends."
The church also provides Sunday school classes for children as well as programs to help people with marital problems and other family issues.
Kara E. Whitford, Gouverneur, said she and her husband, Adam M., and two children enjoy attending Sunday services.
"It's like another family. They have something for all of us and our kids are learning the Bible at an early age," she said.
Mr. Curtis worked for 10 years as a corrections officer at the Gouverneur State Correctional Facility, when he felt a calling to become a minister. He moved his wife, Pamela M., and their two children to Missouri, where he studied at the University of Missouri and was ordained in 2001.
After serving as a church pastor in Missouri for three years, he felt a pull to return to Northern New York.
"We don't have a lot of pastors or Christian workers here. I really cared about the north country and the people here," Mr. Curtis said.
After returning to the region, he served as pastor at Grace Baptist Church, Ogdensburg, and then as associate pastor at Grace Covenant Church, also in Ogdensburg.
Eager to share Christian teachings with others, Mr. Curtis started Bible study groups through his organization, Fresh Start Ministries, which evolved into Fresh Start Fellowship Church.
"My goal was to see that every hamlet and town had an opportunity to know God and grow in their faith in God," he said.
For more information, Mr. Curtis can be reached at 323-9571 and Mr. Boprey can be reached at 854-0679.

ScarJo headlines Stringer fundraiser
ICYMI: screen starlet, and born-and-bred Manhattanite, Scarlet Johansson hosted a fundraiser for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer's 2013 mayoral bid earlier this week. A lot of the press focused focused on the event like it was a peculiarity, but as we've written about before, the Stringer 2013 team is proving highly adapt at capturing headlines and taking up air in the 2013 mayoral room.
Or, as Ms. Johansson put it in New York magazine's Daily Intel blog:
"It's always inspiring to see voters get behind the lesser known, less trendy candidate, but I have to say, after tonight's success, that won't be the case any longer," said Johansson, standing next to Stringer at a venue better known for the Olsen twins and a tough door.
