What You'll Eat and Drink at Terroir

After reading Rob and Robin's opening this week, we can't wait to visit Terroir when it opens this weekend (or Monday, if there's a last-minute construction problem). But what awaits us there? We reached out to the new wine bar's guiding spirit, Paul Grieco, to see if he could get us a sneak preview of the menu, and possibly a hint of what he had in mind for his wine program. Grieco delivered both — the latter in spades.
Oenologically speaking, there will be a smattering of cool shit. By the glass, we plan to juxtapose grapes from various places to showcase the terroir:
• a Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc vs. a Chilean S.B.
• Burgundian chardonnay vs. an Australian
• Mosel Riesling vs. a N.Y. State Riesling
• Loire Valley Cabernet Franc vs. a Long Island Cabernet Franc
• tempranillo from Rioja vs one from Ribera del Duero
For the bigger list, there will be dissertations on Terroir-ists, producers who have made it their life's mission to allow their land to scream (Paul Draper at Ridge Vineyards, Alvaro Palacios in Priorat, Bartolo Mascarello in Barolo). We will also focus on specific vineyards and show multiple expressions of that Terroir; for instance, in the Kamptal region of Austria is the Heiligenstein vineyard. Formerly known as hell stone, it is now known as holy rock; and it is composed of granite primal rock; Lord of the Rings-type shit happened here.
Grieco's also planning some specials, including a happy hour from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and low-priced tastings of high-end wines. "So much to do, so little time to accomplish it! The ideas are endless and I need a cup of coffee!"
Somehow, we think that's the last thing he needs.

From the White House:
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release January 27, 2011
Statement by the President on the Killing of David Kato
I am deeply saddened to learn of the murder of David Kato. In Uganda, David showed tremendous courage in speaking out against hate. He was a powerful advocate for fairness and freedom. The United States mourns his murder, and we recommit ourselves to David's work.
At home and around the world, LGBT persons continue to be subjected to unconscionable bullying, discrimination, and hate. In the weeks preceding David Kato's murder in Uganda, five members of the LGBT community in Honduras were also murdered. It is essential that the Governments of Uganda and Honduras investigate these killings and hold the perpetrators accountable.
LGBT rights are not special rights; they are human rights. My Administration will continue to strongly support human rights and assistance work on behalf of LGBT persons abroad. We do this because we recognize the threat faced by leaders like David Kato, and we share their commitment to advancing freedom, fairness, and equality for all.
January 13th, 2011
The memorial was nothing short of magnificent, and it was exactly what this city needed. It was, at turns, somber and celebratory. Tucsonans have been in a severely depressed funk, dazed and stunned that something like this could happen here.
I hear some small–minded grumbling that the event was somehow too "raucous" or a "rally." Well you know what? A rally is just what we needed. Those who sit in judgment in their comfortable offices and studios on the coasts tut-tutting last night's memorial haven't had to drive by the still-closed Safeway every morning and every evening to and from work. They haven't been within a thousand miles of the nightly vigils at UMC and at Gabrielle Giffords's congressional office. They haven't turned on television to see their own neighbors grieving in wall-to-wall coverage. They haven't picked up their local newspapers to read the dozens of stories about the tragedy and then turn the page, thinking perhaps that they were finished with those heartbreaking stories, only to be confronted by the same familiar names and photos in the obituaries. They haven't made plans to attend some of the funerals which begin today. They won't pull over to the side of the road as the funeral processions pass on the way to the cemetery. They haven't seen their beloved town turned into something unrecognizable. When they have experienced all of this, maybe then they can legitimately criticize our desire last night to tentatively shake off our sack cloths and wash away the ashes, if only for a moment. But not until then.
Tucsonans have undergone a stunned mourning for five solid days now. It's about time we also celebrate, and yes, cheer, our community's coming together and move toward the future. It is time to rally our wounded community, and to resolve to build a better, kinder, and more civilized world.
When tragedies like this strike, we expect the President to come grieve among the people. And yet, Tucsonans appeared genuinely surprised and touched when the President announced he was coming here. I had wanted to take a half-day off work and get in line for the memorial, but when I got up yesterday morning I learned that a long line had already formed the night before. By noon it was already clear that there was no way anyone who wasn't already there would get into the McKale Center. So my partner and I saw it on television at home. I don't know how the major networks carried the event. We chose to watch it on local TV, which simply carried the live feed and ditched the voiceovers, pundits and real-time crawls.
I thought Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's address was splendid. She was kind, wonderfully gracious, and very generous. The blessing at the beginning was touching, given by someone whose ancestry in Tchuk Shoon predates the arrival of "Americans" and reminds us of the timelessness of this valley that has drawn so many to the Old Pueblo, as we like to call our city. We celebrated our heros who ran toward the gunfire, and we learned for the first time that Gabby Giffords had opened her eyes. And with that, it is my hope that President Barack Obama's exceptional speech opens all of our eyes, so that we, too, can build a society worthy of Christina Taylor-Green's spirit.
January 11th, 2011
Soon after Saturday's heinous massacre of six Tucsonans and the injuring of fourteen others including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Westboro Baptist's Fred Phelps announced via video that the shooter, Jared Loughner, was appointed by Phelps's god to do the evil deed and that the Westboro clan would protest the funerals. Arizona state Sen. Kirsten Sinema (D-Phoenix) swung into action:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed into law emergency legislation to head off picketing by a Topeka, Kan., church near the funeral service for a 9-year-old girl who was killed during Saturday's shooting in Tucson. Unanimous votes by the House and Senate on Tuesday sent the bill to Brewer. It took effect immediately with her signature Tuesday night. The new law prohibits protests within 300 feet of a funeral or burial service.
…Arizona State Representative Kyrsten Sinema said when she heard of the plans, she got downright angry and decided to take action. Sinema sponsored Senate Bill 1101 and got some help from fellow legislators. "We patterned legislation after Ohio's law which is constitutional, it's been upheld in court, and I got permission from the speaker and the senate president to wave the rules," Sinema said.
…"The bill requires them to be at least 300 feet away from the funeral from an hour before the funeral starts to an hour after it ends and that way people can grieve and love in peace," Sinema said.
The bill passed the Arizona House and Senate in record time, and was signed into law at 3:00pm by Governor Brewer. The first funerals will take place on Thursday. The Boston-based Phelps-A-Thon has pledged to make a donation to Wingspan's Anti-Violence Project of Southern Arizona for every funeral the Phelps clan protests. Wingspan is the LGBT community center for Tucson and southern Arizona. You can also donate directly to Wingspan here.
Meanwhile President Barack Obama has announced that he will speak at a community memorial service scheduled for tomorrow evening. The memorial begins at 6:00pm MST at the McKale Center on the University of Arizona campus.
December 22nd, 2010
Today, President Barack Obama signed historic legislation which begins the process of ending the long-standing ban against LGBT people serving openly in the armed forces.
President Obama hailed the legislation as a key milestone in the civil rights struggle for LGBT Americans:
No longer will our country be denied the service of thousands of patriotic Americans who are forced to leave the military – regardless of their skills, no matter their bravery or their zeal, no matter their years of exemplary performance – because they happen to be gay. No longer will tens of thousands of Americans in uniform be asked to live a lie, or look over their shoulder in order to serve the country that they love.
…We are no longer a nation that says 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' We are a nation that says 'Out of many, one.'
Present at the signing ceremony was former Marine Staff Sargent Eric Alva. He was the first American to be injured during the invasion of Iraq when he stepped on a land mine and lost his leg in the explosion. As he was recovering at Bethesda Naval Hospital, he was visited by President George Bush, first lady Laura Bush, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, none of whom knew that he was gay.
Also present at the signing ceremony was Lt. Dan Choi,who was discharged last summer from the New York National Guard under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." More recently, he has been recovering from a breakdown due to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, brought on by his service in Iraq and compounded by stress over his public advocacy for DADT's repeal.
President Obama hailed the law, saying it will "strengthen our national security and uphold the ideals that our fighting men and women risk their lives to defend. Noting that LGBT Americans have fought bravely in every war since the Revolution, Obama applauded the additional sacrifices that they made because of the burden of serving in silence. "None of them," he added, "should have to sacrifice their integrity as well."
The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 specifies that the 1993 Don't Ask, Don't Tell legislation will become stricken from the law sixty days after the President, Defense Secretary, and the Joint Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces certify to Congress that the Defense Department has "prepared the necessary policies and regulations" to allow LGBT members to serve openly, and that those policies are "consistent with the standards of military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and recruiting and retention of the Armed Forces."
No further action by Congress is called for in the Act's language, but for the time being, DADT is still the law of the land. Active LGBT servicemembers are urged to remain circumspect in disclosing their sexual orientation.
Repealing DADT is more than just a matter of ending discharges and accepting gay applicants. The Pentagon Study that was released three weeks ago identified numerous regulations which will require revisions. Many of these regulations touch on such matters as deployment, off-base and on-base housing, family hardship considerations, family bereavement, sexual harassment, workplace nondiscrimination, and many other personnel policies. This is in addition to training and policy communications which will need to take place throughout the ranks of the armed services.
Given the scale of the report's recommended policy changes to accomplish DADT repeal, some observers believe that it may take as long as a year to fully implement the changes needed to support DADT's ultimate repeal. Based on historical precedent, I would agree with that assessment. When President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981 in 1948 ordering the racial desegregation of the armed forces, it took the military more than three years to fully implement the order. Integration for personnel stationed in Korea, Okinawa and Japan didn't occur until the end of 1951.
But that integration occurred against much greater opposition throughout the military and in American society as a while. DADT repeal is expected to go much more smoothly. Three quarters of Americans support repealing DADT, while the Pentagon's study found that 70% of military personnel believe that having a gay service member in their unit will have a positive, mixed, or no effect on the unit's ability to "work together to get the job done." In an interview with the Advocate's Kerry Eleveld, President Obama said, "My strong sense is [implementation] is a matter of months… Absolutely not years." Obama repeated that pledge during his signing ceremony this morning. He said that the service chiefs are "committed to implementing this change swiftly and efficiently," and he vowed, "We are not going to be dragging our feet to get this done."

December 8th, 2010
There has been a heightened tension over the past few weeks surrounding the partisan positioning over whether to raise the current tax rates – and on whom – along with the extension of unemployment benefits and whether this battle would eliminate the possibility of a vote on the Defense Authorization Bill (which includes the repeal of DADT). But though I've had my douts, I've maintained a certain degree of optimism around the prospect.
This is too important to the White House. Not that the President is particularly impassioned about repealing the discriminatory policy, but he needs to shore up support from the more liberal end of the Democratic Party and this is an action that can help that goal. And I've also assumed from the beginning that a compromise would be reached in the tax/unemployment negotiations once everyone had an opportunity to make the speeches that their constituents want to hear.
So I'm not particularly surprised that Sen. Reid has announced that he will bring the Defense Authorization Bill up for a cloture vote today. And there is a good chance that it DADT repeal can be achieved.
In September, there were 56 Democratic Senators, of which two – Senators Lincoln and Pryor – voted against cloture. The two Independent Senators supported the vote, but all 42 Republicans withheld their support, claiming that the process cut them out of any ability to challenge specific spending items.
Since September, the Illinois special election removed one Democrat, replacing him with Republican Mark Kirk. But Sen. Pryor has announced that he will support DADT repeal and "will support procedural measures to bring it to a vote this year." Unfortunately, his support is offset by Democratic Sen. Manchin who has now raised objections to the repeal. Thus, the count of all-but-certain votes for cloture are 53 Democrats and 2 Independents.
This means that five additional supporters are required from Republicans (and/or Sens. Lincoln and Manchin). There are currently two Republicans who have pledged support of repeal: Sen. Collins and Sen. Brown. But this support is conditional; Sen. Reid must allow Republicans to challenge and debate controversial provisions of the bill, including spending on certain programs that are believed to be based more on financial benefit to specific well-connected military contractors than on actual need. Reid, however, is fearful that unlimited debate would result in the hijacking of the process by endless irrelevant amendments intended to run out the clock.
And this may be the sticking point. Rumors are flying, and posturing, finger pointing, and accusations have begun. The Washington Post reports the position of Reid – as provided by an aide:
Reid has offered Collins a total of 15 amendments in order to get her to vote Yes — 10 for Repubicans and five for Democrats, the aide continues. Reid views this as a reasonable offer, because previous debates on defense authorization bills have had roughly this number of amendments offered, the aide adds.
But as of now, Collins has indicated this offer is "unsatisafctory," the aide says. A Collins spokesperson denied this account in an email, but declined to elaborate.
I think it rather likely that this little battle will resolve itself. Senator Collins gains nothing by being portrayed as unreasonable and she is a experienced politician who is particularly skilled in crafting and controlling her image.
Assuming that Collins and Reid will find a mutually acceptable position (as, for now, I do), the question is just who else will vote for cloture. There are at least ten other possible supporting votes who are holding their cards close to their chest. We need three.
The President is reported to be calling Senators on both sides of the aisle.
UPDATE: Senator Lieberman is refuting the claims made by Reid's aide:
"Senator Collins has been working in good faith to achieve an agreement on the process to move forward with the defense bill that contains the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'" Lieberman said. "I categorically reject reports by uninformed staffers who have suggested otherwise."
Lieberman said he wants "those responsible for such baseless allegations" to stop immediately and work to get to an agreement to the defense authorization bill to the Senate floor.
"We are making progress toward an agreement to move forward on the defense bill that includes the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and I remain confident that we can reach an agreement, which is necessary before any vote on the motion to reconsider is taken," Lieberman said.
If this turns out to be a posturing ploy from Reid's office, it likely will backfire. Our community has become unwilling to accept the claims of Reid at face value.
December 6th, 2010
It's just not the leadership we expected to see two years ago. Consider the evidence as The Advocate's Kerry Eleveld reviews Reid's announcement of the Senate's floor schedule:
The near-final nail in the coffin was delivered by Senate majority leader Harry Reid over the weekend when he announced the floor schedule for the week of December 6: nothing Monday, on Tuesday/Wednesday an impeachment trial of a federal judge from Louisiana, with the first votes of the week likely to come on Thursday.
Once the impeachment is a wrap, Reid noted that left "a pretty clear path" to what else needed to be addressed – tax cuts, a Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded, and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty plus votes on some other extraneous bills, one of which included the DREAM Act. …
Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. Carl Levin — perhaps slightly dismayed at no mention of the National Defense Authorization Act — prodded Reid to "say something about the Defense bill."
Oh yeah … that. "We're also trying to figure out a time to move forward on the defense authorization bill," Reid added, along with offering some minutiae about process and time being too scarce to debate the bill without putting limitations on the number of amendments and length of debate.
In other words, it's not on Reid's radar. Especially now that he can't milk it for the midterm elections.
Kerry also notes that DADT repeal hasn't made the White House's list of "must-haves" for the lame duck session. In fact, the White House's list just happens to match Reid's list to a tee. It's also not among the White House's talking points, nor does Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mention it unless asked directly — usually by Eleveld.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates can read the tea leaves as well as anyone. While he has supported DADT's repeal from the very beginning, he told sailors aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea today, "I'd have to say I'm not particularly optimistic that they're going to get this done."
There's a lot of talk that the demise of DADT repeal reflects Obama's lack of leadership on this issue, but I disagree. I think it's time we recognized that the White House HAS been showing leadership on DADT. It's just not the kind of leadership we expected when he said its repeal would a a priority for him. Examples of Obama's leadership include:
Just as Harry Reid got exactly what he wanted when he deliberately set DADT repeal up for failure last September, we would have to be the world's greatest fools not to conclude that Obama has gotten exactly what he wanted in this entire debacle as well. The entire strategy was laid out too deliberately to conclude otherwise. How this consciously engineered fiasco is supposed to serve him, I haven't the foggiest clue. But then, I'm not the one make the political calculations here. All I can do is look at the evidence that is right in front of my nose. And it reeks.
And by the way, the HRC's political calculator is worse than the President's. Remember when Joe Solmonese was so confident in Obama's plan? Good times.
November 18th, 2010
It is difficult to determine exactly how the effort to repeal DADT will shake out in the "lame duck" session. There is a great deal of discussion, news, and movement, and at the moment most seems promising.
The President has finally gotten personally involved (Politico)
Wednesday, Obama – who advocates criticized for not doing enough to influence the Senate vote – called Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) to "reiterate his commitment on keeping the repeal of, and the need for the Senate to pass this legislation during the lame duck," White House spokesman Shin Inouye said Wednesday afternoon.
And senior White House staff are involved with strategy
On Wednesday evening, several high-ranking administration officials and top members of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's staff met with gay rights advocates to review plans to bring the National Defense Authorization Act – an annual, must-pass military spending bill which contains language repealing the ban on gays in the military – to a vote in the coming weeks.
Republican Senator Collins and Independent-Democrat Senator Lieberman (the President's point-person on the repeal) have written to the Secretary of Defense calling for the report on the Military survey to be issued in advance of the December 1 deadline so as to "alleviate some concerns" that Senators may have with repealing the policy.
Collins, who supported the repeal in committee and is committed to repeal, joined other Republicans and two Democrats earlier in the year to block a vote on the total Defense Authorization bill due to Sen. Reid's unusual tactic of denying the ability of Republicans to introduce amendments to the bill. Support for allowing the usual debate has picked up support within the Democratic Caucus and so is less likely to be a sticking point. (Journal Constitution)
A dozen Democrats and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, urged Reid Thursday to allow an extended debate on the wide-ranging defense authorization bill, which includes language repealing the 1993 law known as "don't ask, don't tell."
Lieberman said the Senate's desire to adjourn before the holidays was no reason to curtail debate and give Republicans an excuse to oppose the bill. Last September, GOP senators blocked the bill because Reid wouldn't allow the two weeks of debate they said was needed to address such major legislation.
And it appears that if Reid honors that process, at least two Senators will break any filibuster attempt by Senator McCain. (Stars and Stripes)
On Thursday, Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., told reporters that he believes at least two Republicans will side with repeal advocates when the issue is brought back up for a vote — but with conditions.
Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Dick Lugar of Indiana have pledged to him in private that they'll vote to allow debate to continue on the defense authorization bill, which includes the repeal measure, "so long as there is a fair and open amendment process," he said.
Also, as a possibility, is newly elected Senator Kirk, who is seated immediately to finish out the term of Senator Burris. While Kirk voted against including the DADT repeal in the Defense Authorization bill while a member of the House, he was one of five Republicans to vote for the bill with the repeal included. And Kirk's stated reason for not including the repeal was that it did preceded the findings of the study, an objection that will no longer be true for this vote.
And few, if any, Senators have joined Senator McCain's effort to discredit the report. Democratic Senator Jim Webb, who served as Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan and was the sole Democrat to vote in committee against lifting the ban on open service, gave the report high praise (wonk room)
I can't, again having spent five years in the Pentagon. I can't remember a study on this type of issue that has been done with this sort of care. Not even having seen it or knowing the results, but I know the preparation that went into it. So it's going to be a very important study for us to look at and examine.
The only down side may be that the final report will include the reaction and response of the four chiefs of the military divisions. If they are universally opposed to repeal, McCain will seek to use their opposition as a basis for keeping the policy. However, if even one or two are supportive of the plan for implementation of the repeal, this could go a long way towards providing cover for Senators on the fence.
Another odd selling point could be that repealing the ban could resolve tensions between the government and educational institutions. The president of Harvard, which has banned ROTC since 1969, has invited the military to reestablish a presence on the campus once DADT is gone. (Reuters)
"A ROTC program, open to all, ought to be fully and formally present on our campus," said Harvard President Drew Faust. She made the comment to welcome an evening speech by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen, the top U.S. military officer.
Faust drew applause from the audience of several hundred for the offer to restore the university's Reserve Officer Training Corps program.
So although it is still tentative and a lot could still go wrong, for the first time in a long while, I think that there is a better than decent chance that Don't Ask, Don't Tell will be repealed before the end of the year.
UPDATE: Wonk Room is reporting that Republican Senators Murkowski intends to vote for repeal. The Washington Blade has also added Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) to the list of those in favor of repeal; his previous objection was to the timing of a vote before the survey was complete.
November 8th, 2010
Laura Meckler at the Wall Street Journal is reporting on the imminent death of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Advocates on both sides believed the issue had a chance of coming up in this month's post-election session of Congress. Now that looks unlikely.
Sens. Carl Levin of Michigan and John McCain of Arizona, the top Democrat and Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, are in talks on stripping the proposed repeal and other controversial provisions from a broader defense bill, leaving the repeal with no legislative vehicle to carry it.
I'm not certain how she had determined that Levin and McCain's efforts to remove the provision will be more effective now than their opposition when it was included. But it would seem to me that any effort to strip the repeal would require a vote on the floor and, unless those Senators who have committed to repeal renege on their promise, the votes are not with Levin and McCain. But perhaps there are peculiar rules which would allow such a move.
She also notes that the Administration is less than encouraging about the effort.
The Obama administration isn't raising expectations that the issue will be considered this year. "I would like to see the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell,' but I'm not sure what the prospects for that are," Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters traveling with him in Australia over the weekend.
Asked what the White House priorities are for the coming congressional session, press secretary Robert Gibbs named four issues—tax cuts, a nuclear-arms treaty with Russia, a child nutrition bill and confirmation of Jack Lew as White House budget director. Asked why he wouldn't put gays in the military on the list, Mr. Gibbs said it looked like Republicans would block action.
Supporters of the current policy gained high-profile backing over the weekend when the new commandant of the Marine Corps said he was concerned about unit cohesion and combat readiness if the policy was overturned. "There's risk involved," Gen. James Amos said. "This is not a social thing. This is combat effectiveness."
Frankly, many of us are doubtful of the Administration's commitment to gay issues. But surely President Obama is not so foolish as to call for repeal in the lame duck session and not follow through. Surely he will not actually show more commitment to defending DADT in court than he does in opposing it on the Hill. Surely he is aware that if he does so, he will lose the support and respect of those members of our community that still hold him in high regard.
October 21st, 2010
Whatever complaints and irritations the gay community has right now, this video matters. People do still listen to the President in a way in which they don't listen to us bloggers and activists. Yes, people will make potshots at the speech. We're pretty angry over DADT, DOMA and all the other areas of active discrimination that are written into our laws.
And as Alvin McEwen's facebook friend said, "Heck, we can't even thank someone without getting into an argument. "
Well, I'll go ahead and say it anyway: thank you Mr. President.
October 15th, 2010
Anti-gay activists argue that the federal government has an obligation to appeal pro-gay rulings as far as they can. And this administration has – to date – chosen to appeal decisions that have been made in Federal Court which find anti-gay laws and policies to be in violation with the US Constitution.
But this argument is false. There is no legal obligation to defend laws, much less appeal the rulings of judges. And this administration's Justice Department does not always challenge cases that they lose: (WaPo)
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Aug. 6 that the Park Service's regulation forcing individuals or small groups to obtain a permit for First Amendment activities was unconstitutional. But the court upheld the agency's policy of setting aside designated park areas for larger demonstrations and the sale of printed material after applicants obtained a permit.
The Justice Department this week declined to appeal the ruling.
Servicemembers United, which is furious with the Obama Administration for their decision to appeal Judge Phillips' finding on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, noted their choice. They also noted who had challenged the Park Service, the notoriously anti-gay Alliance Defense Fund.
"In the very same week, the administration says that it absolutely must appeal a federal court's decision on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' while it orders the Justice Department not to appeal a federal court's ruling in favor of the conservative Alliance Defense Fund. This contradiction is simply incomprehensible and insulting," said Alexander Nicholson, Executive Director of Servicemembers United and the sole named veteran plaintiff in the case along with the Log Cabin Republicans. "Servicemembers United renews its call for the administration to withdraw its appeal of both the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' ruling and the injunction pursuant to that ruling."
I happen to think that the ruling reducing permit requirements for small casual gatherings is not unreasonable. But you have to admit that Nicholson has a point.

Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" video project, launched in response to what is now being called the "September Suicides," has been so successful that it has maxed out its YouTube channel at 650 videos. So now there is a dedicated web site where the project can continue to grow and flourish.
The phrase "It Gets Better" has become something of a catch phrase, and all kinds of people, famous and obscure, are helping to spread the message. It's really great to see everyone rallying around the kids who really need to hear it. It's become such a popular cause that even the White House has jumped on the bandwagon. To which Dan Savage responds in his typically demure way.
September 23rd, 2010
Today the Justice Department filed an opposition to Log Cabin Republicans' request for injunction on the application of the Military's anti-gay Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy which a federal judge found to be in violation of the US Constitution. The White House has made clear that this decision was made with the President's blessing.
The DOJ argues against a world-wide injunction because it would deny them the opportunity to get a conflicting decision elsewhere. Even an injunction which covers the Ninth Circuit is unacceptable because then they would be unable to move forward with their case against Margaret Witt.
Therefore they argue that an injunction should be limited only to current Log Cabin members. No, I'm not making that up.
In addition to opposing injunction, this filing illustrates that it is the intention of the Obama Administration to appeal the ruling. Irrespective of political speeches about support, the Administration will not be following Governor Schwarzenegger's example and accepting the determinations of the court as to the policy's unconstitutionality but will instead seek to retain their ability to apply the policy for as long as is politically expedient.
And, as if it was not at this point abundantly clear, President Barack Obama is not now – and has never been – a fierce advocate for our community.
September 21st, 2010
The measure repealing the military policy banning gays from serving openly was part of the 2011 Defense authorization bill. Democrats tried to bring up the bill for consideration but failed to get the 60 votes necessary to overcome determined GOP-led opposition. Supporters voted 56-43 in favor of starting debate on the Defense bill, short of the 60 needed.
From what I was able to hear of the debate, the hold-up was the Dream Act more than DADT, but I only heard small portions.
So there was no repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and there is plenty of blame to go around as to why. But perhaps more importantly is what happens now.
Now the ball is in the Obama Administration's court. The President can single-handedly end the policy this week.
Log Cabin Republicans have asked for a world-wide injunction on the enforcement of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy following their successful case in federal court. The administration has yet to announce whether they will appeal this decision or fight the injunction, but they must decide on the latter by this Thursday.
Should the Obama Administration decline to oppose the injunction, then Don't Ask, Don't Tell is dead. It may continue to sit on the books until a future date, but it can no longer be an impediment to open service.
They could also decide to request a delayed injunction, a period of time in which to phase in the change in policy. This would indicate that the Administration is committed to ending the discriminatory policy.
Or the Administration could oppose any injunction, a move that would signal their intention to appeal the decision and to fight for the continuance of the ban on open gay service. Considering the likely change in Congressional partisan make-up, this would quite possibly mean that repealing DADT is unlikely for the foreseeable future.
The choice is now the President's. On Thursday we will know whether he is a fierce advocate.
September 21st, 2010
Barack Obama's selection for Marine Corp commander stepped into the debate over the Military's anti-gay policy to oppose the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. (CNN)
The Senate Armed Services Committee, which held a hearing Tuesday on the nomination of [James] Amos to become commandant, released 37 pages of policy questions the general answered in advance.
"In my personal view the current law and associated policy have supported the unique requirements of the Marine Corps and thus I do not recommend its repeal," Amos wrote.
"My primary concern with proposed repeal is the potential disruption to cohesion that may be caused by significant change during a period of expended combat operations," Amos said in his answer to the committee's advance questions.
I'm disgusted.

Attorney Ted Olson, who brought the suit to overturn Prop 8:
"We came to court to seek for Kris, Sandy, Paul and Jeff the same right to marry that all other Americans enjoy, and to ensure that they receive equal protection under the law as guaranteed to every American by the Constitution. Through its decision today, the court has acted in the best traditions of a legal system established to uphold the Constitution and the principles of equality upon which this nation was founded. On no less than 14 occasions, the Supreme Court has held that marriage is a fundamental right. This decision recognizes that Proposition 8 denied the plaintiffs, and tens-of-thousands of other Californians, that fundamental constitutional right and treated them unequally."
Co-counsel David Boies:
"The Supreme Court has long held that marriage is a fundamental right. Equal protection under the law is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, and this ruling affirms that universal right of every American. Depriving the fundamental right to marry causes grievous harm to millions of Americans and their children."
The White House:
"The President has spoken out in opposition to Proposition 8 because it is divisive and discriminatory. He will continue to promote equality for LGBT Americans."
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger :
"Judge Walker had the great responsibility of deciding whether Proposition 8 violates the Constitution of the United States. He heard in-depth arguments from both sides on fundamental questions of due process, equal protection and freedom from discrimination. There are strong feelings on both sides of this issue, and I am glad that all viewpoints were respected throughout the proceedings. We should also recognize that there will continue to be different points of view in the wake of this decision.
"For the hundreds of thousands of Californians in gay and lesbian households who are managing their day-to-day lives, this decision affirms the full legal protections and safeguards I believe everyone deserves. At the same time, it provides an opportunity for all Californians to consider our history of leading the way to the future, and our growing reputation of treating all people and their relationships with equal respect and dignity.
"Today's decision is by no means California's first milestone, nor our last, on America's road to equality and freedom for all people."
In case you missed it, Timothy Kincaid's analysis of the decision is here.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for "cross-gender disturbance" in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation's embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that "[Paul] Cameron's 'science' echoes Nazi Germany." What the SPLC didn"t know was Cameron doesn't just "echo" Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution's architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a "plausible idea" in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day "Love Won Out" ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the "Dutch Study" to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins' Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family "Research" Council.
The FBI's annual Hate Crime Statistics aren't as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Copenhagen is the capital and most populated city of Denmark, and second largest in Scandinavia, with an urban population of 1,246,611 and a metropolitan population of 1,990,036 (as of 1 July 2014).
Founded as a Viking fishing village in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. During the 17th century, under the reign of Christia IV, it developed into an important regional centre, consolidating its position as capital of Denmark and Norway with its institutions, defences and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.

Board shutting down?
from benstevens anr board
//I found this: Effective April 1, 2013, the Yahoo! Message Boards website will shut down. Our message boards on individual properties (like Yahoo! Finance and Yahoo! Fantasy Sports) will remain active. I have a question into yahoo asking if the web site shuts down are they saying the message board for stocks will still be open. I will let you know when I get answers back from them. ///
why did they wast all the effort updating/ruining these boards just to close them? yhoo is crazy.
5 hours ago | Written by Megan Bildner - DDM
yahooUnder the new reign of Marissa Mayer, Yahoo announced last Friday that they are going to be shutting down several of their products in an effort to sharpen the company's focus. Seven products will be let go, including it's BlackBerry app, Avatars, Clues, app search, Sports IQ, Message Boards, and its Updates API. On April 1 the first six products will be shutdown.
Yahoo reasoning behind the cut backs is, ""Ultimately, we're making these changes in an effort to sharpen our focus. By continuing to hone in on our core products and experiences, we'll be able to make our existing products the very best they can be".
The products that are to be shut down include:
Yahoo! Avatars: Effective April 1, 2013, we will no longer support Yahoo! Avatars across our properties. If you like your existing avatar and want to keep it, please go to the Avatars download page, pick a picture size and format, and click the appropriate download button. Similarly, if you want to edit your avatar, you can download the image and then use a photo editing service of your preference. If you want to continue using your avatar with our products, go toYahoo! Profile and upload the avatar you downloaded. For more details, please click here. Additionally effective April 1, we will no longer support the Avatars YQL table.
Yahoo! app for BlackBerry: Effective April 1, 2013, the Yahoo! app for BlackBerry will no longer be available for download. For those of you who have already downloaded the app, you can continue to use it but it will no longer be actively supported.
That's a bummer. Wonder if it's possible to mount a mass email campaign to get them to change their minds. I hope they don't shut down Yahoo Portfolio. That is a very useful tool.

Achievement Trading Thread
Use this thread in order to trade online achievements with other forum members!
Well, sign me right up. From what it sounds like, the online achies are a similar style to DOA, ie, to get Genin rank, earn enough points to take the "exam", the points being awarded by beating other players, and the higher up the opponents are, the more points you get> im not sure if you lose points by losing a match, can someone confirm that? Anyway, it seems like the new online tourny's will be like DOA.. except cel shaded and featuring women with a realistic sized bust.
I cant wait for the new ranking system. I dont really get the point of the Hokage achievement, seeing how it has 0 points. It beats the forest of death exam hands down.
I think the point of it is just for bragging rights. Besides, if its like DOA's ranking system, it might just be too damned hard for some players. after all the complaining about the online achievements, it makes sense that theyd pair off one for the top tier, but more sense to have it 0 and unnessicary. That way people who get it can be satisfied, and some players who cant get the grip on the controls can just ignore it. I know there'll always be a glaring hole in my DOA achivement list for a few of those reasons.
Im in too... looking forward to playing online
GT: Z3ll Dincht
Unlike the last game, you can host your own vs, tag team and even ranked matches, so yeah, i guess its possible to boost. Though Im not sure if you lose points for effing up a match. Ive had 3 matches so far, last the first 2 but the third one I won. Got some points, but noone else seemed to be on. Thats the kinda lousy thing - theres hardly anyone playing online right now. =/
Eh as far as I know you only get points and achievements in the mode where all players will be choosen random, so boosting isnt possible.
you need to play tournament mode.And rank up ^^..but sometimes you get the real owners who were already good in the first one.So you get slapped around in some seconds hehehe
Haha, today I was Taijutsu Naruto and faced a Nine Tails Naruto Graduate, they slapped me around pretty quickly. The very next match was the same player, this time as a Genin. I guess the last one was his Exam. (kinda cool taht we see their names and they dotn see ours I guess). But they mustve been a bit relaxed after cause NTN fell pretty quick.
I see many people takin itachi btw.They do these combo with black dark crap and then sharingan ( i use it too now ).Then the rage bar will load superfast when you let it block whit sharingan.Then go in rage mode and take enemy down.Master this skill and combo and win most of the games.. HEHHEEH... Or you can master the kyubi naruto...fast combos etc..im jonin now ill play later for hokkage..after getting my 1000 points i feel bit overplayed now..gameplay in storey 35 hour or so i basically cannot see the game anymore haha :d
if anyone wants to boost the online achievements send me a mesage on xbox live.
GT = stinkyx dead x2
anyone want to team up and get the online achievements just send me a message on the 360 and send me a friend invite!!!!

I just got this game. Anyone want to do some online achievement please send me a message. GT = ricky1020
Is there anyway to boost your rank online? If so, would anyone be willing to help me out or possibly trade achievements?
I dont thing so. You mostly will face random people. The best way to boost is to defeat higher ranked opponents or at least down their health to half.
XP needed for achievements:
graduate 200- Genin 500- Chunnin 2000- Hokage 5000
damn really,that sucks and i'm terrible at fighting games :(.If someone wants to try somehow just send me a message or FR.I'll have the game for a few more days,then it's getting sent back to gamefly.

Jennings / JScale J-Ship 332 Heavy Duty Shipping Scale
High capacity commercial bench scale
332 pound capacity x 0.2 pound resolution
Included Accessories
- AC Power Adapter
- Mounting Bracket For Remote Display
- Four AA Batteries
Weighing Modes
|Capacity:332.0 lb
|Resolution:0.2 lb
|Minimum:1.0 lb
|Capacity:150.00 kg
|Resolution:0.1 kg
|Minimum:0.5 kg
Product Details
Digital Remote Weight Display If you've ever had a tough time seeing the weights on your scale's display because of a large package, (or anything else that might cover your weight display) you'll know what a great feature this is. Jennings designed this shipping scale with a digital weight display that pulls away from the scale so ya can see your weights even with a BIG package on the scale...and, the display's cord reaches six feet long!
Stainless Steel Platform The JShip 332 has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
Easy To Clean Membrane Keypad You won't have to worry about dust and dirt getting stuck under and around this scale's buttons... this Jennings JShip has an easy to clean membrane keypad with accurately labeled keys for easy weighing.
Tare Feature The tare button on this digital shipping scale's weight display can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use a tray or box for weighing your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
Programmable Auto-Off Feature If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program the J-Ship 332 to turn off automatically, or to stay on until you turn it off yourself.
20 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! If ya have a problem with this scale, just send it to Jennings' warranty center in Phoenix, Arizona. They'll fix or replace your scale and send it on its way back to ya within a week of receiving it. You should expect your replacement to arrive in about two to three weeks from the day you send the original off. Keep in mind that sometimes Jennings runs out of stock, which can cause a delay in the warranty replacement process.

Questions and Answersask a question
A: The Jennings Jship 332 cannot be calibrated, or you would not want to as the calibration weight will easily cost more than it would be worth. This item does come factory calibrated, and if it should ever need to be recalibrated it has a 20 year warranty so you can send it in and get a new scale.Answered by: Amber (10/28/2014)
A: Hey there James,
Yes, you most certainly can.
Take care,
A: Hey there Dan,
Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not sell any replacement parts for the scale. I would recommend sending the scale in under warranty and having it replaced that way.
If you have any questions on the process, please feel free to give us a call.
Take care - Brandon
A: Hi there J,
No, this model does not have a talking feature.
Take care,
A: Hey there LisaBe,
The JShip 332 scale only weighs 8 lb and the shipping weight is 10 lb. The shipping dimensions are: 5" L x 16" W x 18" H.
Take care,
A: Hi there Judys,
I will say yes, as long as the pig doesn't weigh less than 1 pound (not likely) and as long as he can fit on the platform, which measures approximately 15 inches by 12 inches.
If the platform is too small, a larger piece of wood would suffice as well. Just TARE the weight of the wood topper and you should be all set.
Take care,
P.S. Please forgive my pignorance : )
A: Hey there Nancy,
I would say yes, as long as you could pick up your feet in a way that allows the scale to be the only thing supporting your weight, that should work just fine.
The scale has a very low profile at 1.5 inches.
I hope you've found this helpful. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again. We'll be happy to assist you.
Take care,

The Good Life
Thursday, January 10, 2013
There are plenty of people out there waiting to call you a failure. A loser.
Don't ever give them the chance, & never say it of yourself. Whatever signal
you send out, is what others are gonna pick up. You hit a wall...push through it. -tin-tin
My week has been awesome I'm telling you! Huge improvement on how last week was. Several great things happened to me, as well as some very good news from my mother, this week, even though college has been handing out work like candy, this has been such a refreshing week.
First of all, i finally got up the courage to speak to a quiet girl that is in my health class. She seemed to like me you see, because she always asked to sit by me, so I finally spoke more than "hi" to her, it turned out to be one of the best things that could happen to me this week. We are now chatter boxes with one another, and hang out before our classes start. I've also really begun to like this 40 yr old woman in my English class. She's very smart, but very nice. She likes me a lot too,
The second wonderful thing that happened to me this week was I've been literally transformed. I'm NOT kidding you! I'm literally a new person in my mind and heart. I was really shy around people, to the point that I wouldn't even open my mouth, even if I needed help...in one week i changed and now I talk to literally everyone that stops to listen. I run the ITV mics in our hybrid classrooms, represent the students, etc. I can't believe how much I've changed, another things about me that's transformed is my self view. I don't feel ugly anymore. I've begun to see myself as a beautiful treasure that was put here for a reason, and begun to carry myself this way. Shoulders back, head high, deep breath, long stride....I'm ready for the world.
The third amazing thing that happened to me was that my mom (I live with my parents right now) my mom is going to change her cooking and grocery habits! I'm so excited, because the choices we had around here before caused me to never eat right. Now mom is ditching the bad stuff and the big portions, and bringing on the healthy stuff and normal portions. I'm loving this switch, and can't wait to see her first prepared meal in this manner.
The fourth amazing thing is that I went into a habitat store (thrift), and found me an old model of a stair stepper. It's not the newer fancy kinds, but it gets the job done. I love it, and it works amazing! The man only charged me five bucks for it since he's a friend of our family,
This week has been pretty good so far as you can see, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the next week has in store for me. Be positive fellow sparkes, it's the most important key to achieving your dreams.
**(please excuse all errors. I typed this up on my ipad, and you know how that goes...)

This is the first time for Yunly to be a Kiva borrower and appear on the website. She is a resident of Kang Meas district, where she and her spouse help each other cultivate land for growing rice. Yunly has taken a loan for USD 2,000 to build a latrine for her household. She will buy construction materials needed and pay for labors costs. This will enable her to build a healthy family and protect her family members from unexpected illness.
She is grateful for the loan granted through HKL, which has a much lower interest rate than the usual for this kind of loan product.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of HKL's new water and sanitation loan program designed to help improve living standards of poor and low-income people living in Cambodia. Loans under the program are directed at various products that help improve access to clean water and improved sanitation facilities including loans for water tanks, filters, wells, distribution, and latrines. These loans help to reduce rates of waterborne disease, improve health, and increase economic outcomes for poor families. HKL has designed this social loan product to feature a lower rate than typical.
About HKLHattha Kaksekar Limited is one of the largest and most successful microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Cambodia. The organization provides microfinance services to the poor, particularly women, in urban and rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the outreach of HKL's financial services to a greater number of clients in rural areas of Cambodia.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

I'm just learning, so doing some very simple hacks to Ruby using Advance Map and PKSV (on a Mac, using WINE). I've successfully added and removed wild pokemon, and added a person event, but that's where I ran into trouble. I could not get just a simple "hello" script to work for the life of me even after fiddling around for an hour and reading through half a dozen different tutorials, but now I'm thinking that the problem is with Advance Map instead of my script. Within advance map, I can get the correct script to link with the sprite, and the sprite shows up where I put it, but... any updates I've made to the sprite since putting it in there (changing the image, changing the position, even deleting it) don't show up in the ROM when I save the new map, which is, I think, why the script isn't working either. Does anybody know what's going on?
During the game, you probably need to go away from the said map in order for the changes to take effect.
Example, you added an NPC outside Pallet Town, and you saved outside the said town as well. In order for the changes to happen, restart the game with your emulator, head inside a house, and head out for the map to be completely refreshed.
But if it still does not work, then maybe you are assigning the wrong offset to the NPC, or the NPC is affected by the map's level script.
If still not working, then I have no clue about why that is happening. :\

A War without Winners PBS Brings the Great War to Painful Life
Patton, Charlie, The Florida Times Union
It was a war without a great cause, an epic multi-national
temper tantrum that served the interests of no one.
It was also, for the countries that started it, a war without a
winner. It killed 9 million, maimed 21 million more and haunted
the lives of countless others.
Five great European powers plunged recklessly into the abyss;
all suffered terrible consequences:
Revolution swept away Russia's Romanov dynasty, replacing it
with seven decades of Soviet tyranny.
France was bled white, its countryside ravaged, its industrial
base destroyed.
Britain lost the flower of a generation and became a debtor
nation for the first time; it entered an era of decline, its
empire gradually vanishing.
Austria-Hungary ceased to exist, its ancient Hapsburg dynasty
exiled, their empire dismembered.
Germany, its Hohenzollern rulers forced into exile, was left
devastated and vulnerable to the siren song of Adolf Hitler and
the Nazis.
Only the United States, which entered late and missed the worst
of it, emerged better off from the conflict, having established
itself as an international power.
But, for the most part, the war had settled nothing. Instead it
created famine, plague, poverty and undying hatred. Ultimately,
the war to end all wars led only to another, greater war. That
conflagration, World War II, would result in the slaughter of
more than 50 million, making the horror of The Great War seem
bearable by comparison.
Thus it is fitting that throughout The Great War and the
Shaping of the 20th Century , an eight-hour documentary
miniseries that debuts tonight on PBS, there is an air of sorrow
and a tone of eulogy, made almost palpable by Mason Daring's
haunting musical score.
This is a tale not of heroism, but of butchery and folly. As
narrator Salome Jens says in the documentary's opening moments,
"World War I set the violent 20th century in motion."
It was the first war in which gas and chemical weapons were
used, the first war in which aerial bombardment was employed; in
the Turkish slaughter of the Armenians, it introduced genocide
to the 20th century, and it blurred the line between civilian
and soldier. "Everyone became a soldier one way or another,"
Jens says.
Jay Winter, an American professor at Cambridge University who
was creative consultant on this series, uses the term
"mobilization of the imagination" to describe the war's legacy.
By that he means a commitment to total war, a commitment based
on a virulent hatred of the enemy, a hatred that rationalizes
any action. Such a war obeys no rules or codes of conduct and
makes no distinction between combatants and non-combatants. In
other words, the kind of war that swept the world again from
1939 to 1945. The kind of war still found in places like Serbia.
The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century , which airs
in two-hour installments beginning at 9 p.m. on each of the next
four nights, is reminiscent, both for its epic sweep and for its
technique, of the best of Ken Burns.
Vintage film and still photography are mixed with occasional
glimpses of sites as they look today. Jens' narration, written
by, among others, executive producer Blain Baggett and by
Winter, is supplemented by readings from contemporary accounts,
with voices provided by, among others, Ralph Fiennes, Louis
Gossett Jr., Jeremy Irons, Yaphet Kotto, Malcolm McDowell,
Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson. Finally, there is an
impressive collection of expert commentators. …

The Holy Father's general prayer intention for the month reads "That the abundance of the gifts the Holy Spirit bestows on the Church may contribute to the growth of peace and justice in the world."
Likewise, his mission intention is "That in the mission countries those responsible for the public institutions may, with suitable laws, promote and defend human life from its conception to its natural termination."

We assume you know by now that the Knicks won't get close enough to the Boston Celtics to identify them in a police lineupas we go to press, the oddsmakers say both the Lakers and the Cavs have a 100 percent chance of making the playoffs; the Knicks, 11 percent. So, if you don't mind seeing the home team crushed and humiliated twice in three days, here's your chance to see what could be the two best teams in the leaguethe Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant tonight, and the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 4 with Lebron James. Tickets, as always, are going to be harder to find than an open lane in the Cavs' league-leading D, but StubHub is likely to have a few left by the time you read this. If you want to catch the games with friends, let us suggest the St. Marks Ale House at 2 St. Marks Place. With 14 HDTVs, the mahogany-toned bar serves a selection of 24 beers and ales perfect for washing down the Baker's Dozen Traditional Wings or Tex-Mex Nachos.
