Skip to comments.Morrissey cancels Jimmy Kimmel appearance, calls 'Duck Dynasty' cast 'animal serial killers'
Posted on 02/27/2013 8:26:28 AM PST by beaversmom
Jimmy Kimmel always has the last laugh.
Morrissey learned that lesson on Tuesday night, after the former front man for The Smiths canceled his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live at the last minute because he learned the cast of Duck Dynasty would be guest on the same night.
Never one to back away from controversy, Kimmel addressed the cancellation on his show, thanking the band Churchill filling in for Morrissey on such short notice.
Kimmel read the statement Morrissey issued to explain his refusal to appear on the show.
[Morrissey] is a vegan and a staunch animal rights activist, Kimmel explained.
Morrissey stated he could not morally be on a television program where the cast members of Duck Dynasty will also be guests. He added as far as my reputation is concerned I cant take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers.
Kimmel said Morrissey gave him an ultimatum, saying the comedian had to choose between him and the cast of the A&E show.
While I respect his stance on this-- I really do theres a very good reason why I didnt dump the Duck Dynasty guys for Morrissey, Kimmel said on the air. Its because they have guns, and Morrissey doesnt.
And the late-night host didnt stop there.
He keeps finding new ways to depress us, he quipped of the musician.

An animal serial killer (or is it cereal).
What a dufus
Ozzy Fudd is a wabbit swayer.
Uncle Si fired back "I thought Morrisey was the lead singer for the Doors?"
Carrot calls and broccoli traps......LOL!
Not The Who. Morrissey. ;)
Anyone who knows anything about Morrissey wouldn't be surprised in the slightest by this. The Smith's had a record in the mid 80's called Meat is Murder (one the of top 5 80's songs How Soon Is Now? is on it BTW). He's a known vegan and psychopath and the most depressing songwriter in history... ;-)
Ha ha just watched that, I love these guys.
LOL! I've got "How Soon is Now" on my FR page. :) You know, sometimes you just wanna slit your wrists, but you listen to Morrissey and you get over it.
Heh! My son is home sick and we just watched the parody. Our sides are hurting from laughing.
" I cant take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers.
I can see how you would consider him psycho,
not only do I have no idea who he is,and that he is a vegan, I don't care.
No one cares.
He must have a huge sense of self-importance.
When hunting just play a few Smiths songs and the deer will kill themselves. Meat is suicide!
Morrisey - voice like Bryan Ferry with 1/2 the IQ.........
Get over yourself and get back with the Smiths.
See, depressing nut Morrissey brought happiness to a sick boy and his mom. There's always sunshine behind the clouds. :)
"former front man for The Smiths"
I felt like I grew up in a closet.
Now I am glad I did.
Just WTF were the "Smiths?'
I am guessing used car dealership.
"When hunting just play a few Smiths songs and the deer will kill themselves."
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! That made my morning. Thank you.
Never heard of Morrisey. Have heard of Duck Dynasty.
Never have heard of Morrissey........love "Duck Dynasty".
The Robertson guys should take him out and have a snake drop into the boat. Then we'll see how fast Morrissey (whoever the heck he is) changes his mind.
But one silver lining to his snub, Denver's Churchill got to play in his place:
He's also a staunch fag:
"If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men.
Morrissey loves animals so much that he has decided to become one. He has morphed himself into a complete Jackass.
Hah! True!
Morrisey? Another "entertainer" who goes by only one name since he can't remember two.
I could be mistaken, but I swear I read him quoted in the 80's as saying he was a quadrasexual...whatever that is.
"carrot calls" "broccoli traps" hahahahahah!!!!!
From the little bit I heard sounds like a good one. Never heard that before. Music sounds kinda upbeat. Don't know about the lyrics.
When I go down to the grocery store and walk past the produce section, I see people putting those bags of carrots into their buggies. I can hear the carrots screaming in terror, and I don't want to even think about what those vicious people do to them when they get home. It makes me sad. SAVE THE CARROTS...SAVE THE LETTUCE...BOYCOTT MORRISSEY!!
(Morrissey who?)
(But you made me HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!)
"When hunting just play a few Smiths songs and the deer will kill themselves. Meat is suicide! "
Where have I been, never heard of the Smiths either,
I left the North
I travelled South
I found a tiny house
And I can't help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won't change the way I feel
'Cause I love you
Oh ...
And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say NO, you say YES
(and you will change your mind)
I left the South
I travelled North
I got confused - I killed a horse
I can't help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can punch me
And you can butt me
And you can break my spine
But you won't change the way I feel
'Cause I love you
Oh ...
And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say NO, you say YES
(But you will change your mind)
I left the North again
I travelled South again
And I got confused - I killed a nun
(I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell)
Why is the last mile the hardest mile ?
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And I realised, I realised
I could never
I could never, never, never, go back home again
Wait, I have followed this show from the beginning and this "carrot call" thing is new to me....
Yeah, that's why they demanded a right to serve in the military.
As a Gen Xer, I grew up with The Smiths and Morrissey's solo work.
He's never made a secret of his politics (c.f. his song "Margaret on the Guillotine" for a particularly florid example). Nevertheless, sometimes his music was suitable for listening to when I was in one of those hormone-fuelled teen angst moods, and I'd sit in the basement, brooding and writing dark poetry.
Nevertheless, even then, most of us wave and punk fans used to joke amongst ourselves that every Morrissey album was sold with a razor blade, and the admonition that it's: "down the block, not across the street"!
Beavis and Butthead about Morrissey.
Adult language warning.
Heck, I do that now and I'm in my 40's! LOL on your post.
LOL funny
"Duck Dynasty" ? I thought that was about some ancient Chinese regime. As for that poofter, Morrissey, how can he be a vegan when he gets stuffed with meat ?
Obviously you are not keeping up. They're branching out. ;)
I'm so tired of today's femmy sissy bands with no talent. Where are the Led Zeppelin's, AC/DC's, RUSH's, Ozzie's, etc??? Frail, soulless female lead singers with metrosexual femmy boy 'musicians' playing acoustic guitars, ARGH!!! Where's the soul? Where's the passion? Where's the hard-hitting electric guitarists, bass players and drummers? A few generations of emasculated boys raised by single moms has destroyed music. Oh wait, there's rap! Still waiting for rap to disappear after what, 30 years? ARGH!!!!
Well, I had to look that one up. The Urban Dictionary says it's a person who has sex with men, women, animals, or dead people/dead animals.
No words here....
I can agree with you on cRAP (oh my goodness!), but there is SO much new music that I like on the alternative station. Music that has interesting, no rude lyrics. People playing guitars. Melodies. I've been reborn.

AURORA, NY (October 13, 2015) – Aurora Brands, the parent company that owns and manages MacKenzie-Childs and Jay Strongwater announces a shift in senior management and the appointment of John Ling as CEO. Ling will take over responsibilities from Lee Feldman, managing partner of Twin Lakes Capital who led the acquisition of the business in 2008.
Upon acquisition of MacKenize-Childs in 2008 and Jay Strongwater in 2011, partners Lee Feldman and Howard Cohen took on active CEO and CFO roles as well as sitting on the boards to help grow the business into the success it currently is at. Feldman and Cohen will remain active in both brands as well as sit on the boards but are eager to turn over day-to-date responsibilities to the highly capable, successful and eager Ling.
John Ling brings a strong pedigree and level of experience to the business hailing from Crate and Barrel where he spent 15 years. During Ling's tenure at Crate and Barrel, it grew from a regional tabletop and housewares retailer to a global, multi-billion dollar, omni-channel retailer - adding furniture, e-commerce and international retail along the way. Ling provided leadership for Crate and Barrel's e-commerce platform, international retail operations, global sourcing, vendor management and end-to-end supply chain operations. Most recently he was CEO of Artissimo Designs, a leading provider of fashion-forward and licensed wall art to retailers including Nordstrom, Living Spaces, Restoration Hardware, The TJX Companies, Wal-Mart, and Target. Early in his career, Ling was at Frito-Lay for 10 years with roles in plant management, industrial engineering, distribution, transportation and manufacturing engineering. He subsequently spent 4 years with Merck-Medco Managed Care in general management, customer service, and engineering roles.
"This is really bittersweet for us," noted Lee Feldman, managing partner of Twin Lakes Capital. "It has been an incredible journey since we first arrived in May of 2008, we have seen revenue triple and have maintained strong profitability over the past 7 years," noted Feldman. "Introducing strong leadership that can take both businesses further has always been our end goal and we're excited for this next chapter of development and growth."
Aurora Brands is conducting an aggressive search for a CFO candidate and will likely announce an appointment in early 2016.

I called their 888# and was told I signed up for it on the internet. The customer service representative informed me that the service was ordered over the internet but could not be specific about its origins--it might be a 'promotional link' found on some web site or something. They could not tell me when it was signed up for.
They said they would stop the service but we still had to pay (for something I never authorized and never used!) the current bill. I told them I refuse to pay.
The email address I was supplied with is NOT a valid link. I could not find a valid one.
I don't know how they got my information. Nor why they assume we need a voicemail.
We are both unemployed, and my wife is disabled. We certainly can not afford something this frivolous, and most definately unneeded.

A camping forum for VW bus and camper owners.
Hi Eva, as I tried to let you know in my e-mails, I made it to Berkeley's Hertz Hall concert yesterday, and, was looking for you. It was a wonderful event especially just before the X-mas holidays listening the "Hallelujah" by the Choirs.

"Philip Smucker makes an impassioned argument for understanding and reconciliation. Traversing a broad swath of the world's great Islamic societies, from northern Africa to Indonesia , he mingles a multitude of personal experiences with insights and analysis. The ultimate goal is peaceful resolution of the great 'war on terror' that pits U.S.-led forces against a wide range of enemies. He avoids demonizing either or any side in a search for a better way of both waging war and making peace. As the title suggests, our enemies also are our brothers, and the war will end only when we recognize our common bond as people with similar yearnings, hopes, and fears....The author himself sides only with a desire to resolve conflict. He suggests how in a final section devoted to sensitive and colorful first-person reporting from the battlegrounds of Afghanistan . Moving from there to the plain at West Point , he offers criticism and advice that those closest to the war zone may want to consider seriously." --Donald Kirk, Asia expert, correspondent, Christian Science Monitor, author of Korea Betrayed
"Philip Smucker has drawn upon his many years of on-the-ground reporting in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to craft a practical and astute assessment of America's standing in the Islamic world. He disdains the hyperbolic and fear-mongering rhetoric that so many politicians and pundits favor about the clash between America and Islamic extremists, and instead offers a reasoned analysis of America's challenge. Moreover, he correctly identifies the key to any potential American success in its 'battle of ideas'--brokering an even-handed solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict." --Michael K. Bohn, former director of the Reagan White House's Situation Room and author of The Achille Lauro Hijacking: Lessons in the Politics and Prejudice of Terrorism.
"Philip Smucker has written a deeply reported and engaging account of his long journey across the worlds of Islam from Iraq to Indonesia (and even to Timbuktu!). During that journey he delivers a lively account of the state of play between the West and the 'Muslim world' that will be of great interest to readers of all types. A terrific read with many wise things to say about the often difficult nature of the Western-Islamic relationship." --Peter Bergen, author of Holy War, Inc. and The Osama bin Laden I Know.

We're currently working with BRAG, Bullying Reduction Action Group, supported by the POD and Link2ICT to pilot a project in the Nechells area of Birmingham, working with schools to develop a social media surgery that focuses on skills as well as conversations around internet safety and cyber bullying.
We've been working with students from Heartlands Academy from years 7, 9 and 12 to turn them into surgeons and inviting groups of parents in as patients so that they can be taught how to use the sites and tools that their children maybe using, and to discuss any concerns they may have with them using "the internet" with their children's peers.
We'd held a session at the beginning of the project to identify what the students thought of the internet, what sites they used and how aware they were of their own and others safety online. We then held the same session with parents and teachers and the differences were vast. The students had identified way more sites they were using than the parents and teachers even knew of , and even if the adults knew of a site or platform they were in most occasions not using it themselves so were maybe unable to properly advise on security and privacy settings to help the students keep themselves safe.
Last night was the second open surgery, where we had a group of year 9 students on hand to answer parents questions and we had 5 patients come for support. Their questions were varied from "How do I stop my child from using Facebook?"; "How do I set myself up on Facebook" to "How do YOU keep yourself safe online?". Answers in short ranged from you "You can't – but have you thought about coming to an agreement with him like this that I have with my Mom"; "Here let me show you how…" and "Like this…"
Every parent that came in I spoke to before and after the surgery and all of them were impressed by the advice they were given, one even commented that she felt better able to go and talk about Facebook to her own daughter, now she "knew what she was talking about". The students had really enjoyed becoming the teacher, and some great conversations had taken place.
We're just about to move into the second phase of the project – introducing parents from a local junior school to the surgeries, focusing on years 5 and 6, the parents of the students who will soon be looking for their places at senior school, finding much larger circles of friends and potentially becoming more active users of social networks themselves as a result.
I'm really enjoying this project. The students have been amazing and the parents really open to being guided by "experts" much younger than themselves, and I've done my fair share of learning too. There were sites the students mentioned and conversations that have taken place that has prompted me to go home and have fairly frank conversations with my 13 year old son. Practically though I've also learned a thing or 2 about running a project like this. They are:
This is fantastic. Let's hope that more work like this gets done. It's great that the social media surgery model has lent itself to creating a different sort of conversation and dynamic between parents, teachers and pupils.

Skip to comments.Catholic League Poised To Go To War With Obama Over Mandatory Birth Control Payments
Posted on 02/07/2012 4:09:58 AM PST by 1010RD
Catholic leaders upped the ante Monday, threatening to challenge the Obama administration over a provision of the new health care law that would require all employers, including religious institutions, to pay for birth control.
As CBS 2s Marcia Kramer reports, it could affect the presidential elections.
Catholic leaders are furious and determined to harness the voting power of the nations 70 million Catholic voters to stop a provision of President Barack Obamas new heath car reform bill that will force Catholic schools, hospitals and charities to buy birth control pills, abortion-producing drugs and sterilization coverage for their employees.
Never before, unprecedented in American history, for the federal government to line up against the Roman Catholic Church, said Catholic League head Bill Donohue.
Already Archbishop Timothy Dolan has spoken out against the law and priests around the country have mobilized, reading letters from the pulpit. Donohue said Catholic officials will stop at nothing to put a stop to it.
This is going to be fought out with lawsuits, with court decisions, and, dare I say it, maybe even in the streets, Donohue said.
But pro-choice groups said they will fight the church and fight for the right of employees of Catholic institutions to have birth control and other services paid for.
The Catholic hierarchy seems to be playing a cynical game of chicken and they dont seem to care that the health and well being of millions of American woman are whats at stake here, National Abortion Rights Action League President Andrea Miller said.
(Excerpt) Read more at newyork.cbslocal.com ...
He probably isn't that familiar with American history and doesn't know how we got government schooling.
Still, if Catholics would follow their religion and its conscience you'd not see another Democrat elected this century.
This Protestant will be standing in full support of the Catholic church on this one.
Catholics and other religious leaders must realize that this President can not be trusted and even if he changes course he will continue his war on religion once elected.
The Catholic Church hasn't been "informing consciences" for decades. The obvious results are divorce rates, Mass attendance, lower birth rates, etc.
They've so minimized the concept of Hell it will be difficult to resurrect true Catholicism for this fight.
"But pro-choice groups said they will fight the church and fight for the right of employees of Catholic institutions to have birth control and other services paid for."
I don't get it. Is it no longer possible to buy condoms and other forms of birth control? Oh! This is about making OTHER people pay for one's condoms, including people who have religious objections to birth control itself. Now I get it.
As far as that goes, I don't know why religious objections are the main point of contention. The REAL problem is people who think they have a right to force everyone else to pay for whatever they want and use the federal government as a tool to browbeat their fellow citizens. Religious objections, although important, are not the larger issue which is tyranny!
Me too.....I just hope the catholics don't wimp out in the end. I never expected they would support obama the first time around so you will excuse me if I am skeptical catholics will come thru this election.
Me too.....I just hope the catholics don't wimp out in the end. I never expected they would support obama the first time around so you will excuse me if I am skeptical catholics will come thru this election.
It's like joining a union and expecting that you have to do a good job...
...I mean...duh!
All Christians should. Yesterday I heard a radio report that Imams in Texas had at last Friday's call to prayer called for civil disobedience over forced indoctrination of homosexuality in schools. When was the last time your pastor or priest demanded you stand up for your religion?
Americans have a fundamental right to conscience. It's why we're Americans and big government is an enemy to that and always has been.
Until Catholics and other Christians recognize that you cannot solve the problems of poverty and justice using the tools of Mammon we'll continue our downward spiral.
Most Catholics lean to the left. The Church teaches health care as a "right", so in the view of many in the pews Obamacare is a good thing.
While I support the Catholic church in their protest of the mandate, I do have to ask what did they expect? The State views them as a competitor, and as the biggest target.
There is wheat and chaffe in every religion. Recall that Revelations opens with a list of infractions committed by the churches and an asking for them to turn away from their failings.
The Catholic Church seems to be turning ...the question will be what will be left of the pseudo-faithful in the end?
Look forward to the ugly women and "chic" women to start marching in the streets for "Women's Right to Choose", "It's MY body", etc. signage.
(As opposed to the right to choose to act responsibly and morally).
You KNOW it's gonna be 24/7 on the State-Run-Media, with "reproductive Rights" being the buzzword, and AVOIDING the term "Abortion funded by others".
But I understand, protecting Planned Parenthood funding was much more important.
ABC & NBC have yet to report on the Obamah mandate and the Catholic clergy uproar.
"The Catholic hierarchy seems to be playing a cynical game of chicken and they dont seem to care that the health and well being of millions of American woman are whats at stake here, National Abortion Rights Action League President Andrea Miller said."
Health and well being??
It's a 'sickness' without a 'disease'..
Children aren't 'viruses' that need to be 'cured' or elminated.

Darn slow Internet.
They're correct. It is their body, but the baby isn't their body and there can be no private murders.
True. Those 70 million Catholics keep big city Democrats in power. If they would turn back to their religion and follow its precepts America would be a much better place.
The fact is: Christians are wimps. We're so compromised that we give up before even trying and Mammon wins every time. America is suffering from Mammonism and the cure is more, not less Christian faith in action.
Thanks 1010RD.
A woman called into Rush's show yesterday and said something along the same lines. Abortifacients and birth control aren't preventing or curing any disease.
In fact, there are long term health effects for women who use birth control, and there are myriad women who've had abortions who can contest that they ruined their ability to have children again.
Technically correct, but allowing it to be USED by other-than-spouse, AND, then "deciding" to terminate a life is NOT a "Woman's Right" in any MORAL way.
Just as in the Terri Schiavo case, they re-directed it from the husband's culpability to the issue of "right-to-die."
It wasn't about "right-to-die." It never was. But the re-direction worked. Conservatives were made to look like extremists.
The same will happen here.
Liberals will re-direct the issue from the Church being forced to support abortions to the issue of birth control.
I am a practicing Catholic. But I have always thought the Church's stand on birth control is extreme and stupid. I think most Americans believe this too.
Birth control is not the issue. Abortion is the issue. And forcing Catholics to act against their beliefs is the issue.
Do not let liberals get away with this re-direction again. It it too important.
This is worth repeating. We've been in a state of soft tyranny for a long time. WE complain about this or that infraction of our Rights and nothing happens, nothing has been fought for, or our concerns have been passed out of hand by the courts for the 'greater good.'
Now the 'hardness of tyranny' begins. Even if the Catholic Church "wins" this mandate ruling as un-Constitutional we have already witnessed court rulings mean little to this government. So the Church wins and what of the faithful forced by their private / public sector employers whose insurance policies will extract the money from them as part of the group coverage? Is this not against the teachings and morals of Catholics/Christians as well? Are not Rights afforded to the individual in these matters?
As Catholics and Christians if one were to consider all the things the 'public' forces onto us and like sheep to slaughter we've handed over our Rights in the name of political correctness.
Re:birth control
I've seen it happen more than once where someone I know was on birth control and had a very hard time trying to conceive once they where ready to have kids.
My youngest daughter had a couple of miscarriages that were attributed to birth control pills.
She finally did manage to have 3 beautiful grandchildren (for us) but each time she had to have her blood monitored and 'thinned'.
She and her husband are now done (he got snipped) so 3 is enough.. :0)
Let's remember this assault on our religious freedom didn't come in the form of a law. It is a diktat from our elected tyrant.
The rats have controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency several times since Roe v. Wade. Not once did they bring a bill to the floor to turn Roe into statute.
Nor would our elected reps today consider passing a law to criminalize a Churches refusal to provide abortion services.
As long as unelected bureaucrats are illegally empowered to make law, as long as the law depends on the whim of one man, we are not a republic, and will continue our slide into despotism. FUBO.
You wrote:
"Still, if Catholics would follow their religion and its conscience you'd not see another Democrat elected this century."
Get real. There are 65 million Catholics in this country. There are 240 million non-Catholics and many of them vote for Democrats.
I'm not yet married but have the lady in mind. She's over 35 and a smoker, so birth control has been out of the picture for a while. I'm praying for enough time to make her an honest woman and have at least 2 kids knowing that 40 is one of those lines in the sand.
An old girlfriend of mine went on BC in her early 20s. She was on a host of other meds for some dermatological issues. Once she started on the BC, her body went ballistic. Last time I saw her she was over 300 lb. and was covered in benign subcutaneous cysts. Hormones are a nasty thing to play with!
Amen to that.....
It isn't just this President who can't be trusted. It's the entire Federal Government, Congress and the Courts included.
The CINO's will be rooted out and run out of the Church.
This is how we beat him in November!
I would not be surprised to see Obama back down on this one point later this year, just in time so that all the liberal Catholic organizations and bishops can publicly proclaim that it's safe to vote Democrat again.
The Catholic hierarchy should have realized before now that the Democrat Party is a package deal. You want "social justice" and "free healthcare"? You have to accept abortion too.
Great point! I wonder how university of Notre Dame feels now?
fought out in courts, just like govt wants
You are correct.
And what is your church doing to fight against this?
Fire everyone but the priests. All non-clerical duties will need to be performed by volunteers.
Thank you, and make no mistake if the Christians don't stand together on this issue, then your religious freedom will be next.
There's only one way to make it stop.
Hmm. Good points. Here is one possible senario
The obamanistas KNOW this is a "no-win" stance. (True)
They know it will inflame Catholics and other Christians (True)
So, let it boil and fester for a few months, getting everyone frustrated and mad. (True)
At the last (useful) moments, and after the help of the MSM making it look and sound like "the radical Catholics are threatening "blood in the streets" and "a nation of terror", our benevolent protectors will "revisit" the policy (cancel) until after the election. (True)
Obamanistas look like "leaders" and are wisely "looking after our best interests" and are re-elected by the Catholics who threatened to vote them out. Policy is re-instated.
Obamanistas win.
WHY IS CBS USING SUCH VIOLENT RHETORIC? IS SARAH PALIN WRITING THEIR HEADLINES? (off sarcasm)
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
...you make a good point.... But there is a big First Amendment issue, too.
Catholics are nuts to fight this.
Best thing to do is go to cost-sharing like the Amish and Mennonite and others.(Medishare, Samaritan etc)
It would be self funded, qualify for exception and could take up to one fifth of the population out of government clutches.
It would be the end run of all end runs. And it would provide better options for their people. It would also be a model for every one else who is dying to get away from the encroaching totalitarian fascist commie.
There are more ways to skin this cat.
The Administration will get out in front of this in a hurry and provide a Religeous Waiver/Exemption. Look for the fix with a Presidential announcement in the next couple of days.

May is Multiple Sclerosis Month – A great time to get the facts about MS
Did you know? Canadians have one of the highest rates of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the world. MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada, and every day three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS. MS is most often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, but it can also affect children -- some as young as two years old.
Did you know?
• Canadians have one of the highest rates of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the world. • MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada, and every day three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS. • MS is most often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, but it can also affect children -- some as young as two years old.
MS is an unpredictable and often disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord that attacks the myelin covering of nerve cells. It can cause loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis. Although most researchers believe MS is an auto-immune disease, its exact cause is still unknown. (Source: www.mssociety.ca)
MS Treatment at the MNI: A Long Tradition
The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) is home to the oldest MS Clinic in Canada. The clinic has 4,000 regular patients and annually sees close to 2,200 patients, or 18% of all Quebecers estimated to have MS. Patients are seen by a multidisciplinary team of Physicians, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers. MS Patients also participate in on-going clinical studies.
MS Research at the MNI:
There is a lot of exciting and varied MS research at the MNI including clinical activities, clinically related research activities and fundamental research activities. For example:
• Dr. Yves Lapierre, Director of the MS Clinic at the MNI, treats patients and carries out studies on drugs meant to reduce relapse rates of initial MS attacks. Dr. Douglas Arnold, Director of the Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Unit, uses the latest imaging techniques to visualize MS lesions in the brain to understand the effect of treatments. Their research provides a vital component in the controlling of MS.
• Neurologist Dr. Jack Antel examines how the immune system interacts with cells in the central nervous system. Neurologist, Immunologist and Director of the new Experimental Therapeutics Program, Dr. Amit Bar-Or researches the basic properties of immune cells and their involvement in neurological diseases such as MS. Their research could shed light on the cause of MS. Dr. Bar-Or led the phase 1 clinical trial for an MS vaccine that appears to be safe and potentially beneficial for those suffering from MS. The findings were published in the Archives of Neurology in August 2007. The vaccine works by preventing the immune system from attacking the myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Based on the results of this study, a Phase II Clinical Trial of the vaccine is already under way.
• The research of Dr. David Colman, Director of the MNI, focuses on myelin repair in order to improve signal transmission to the central nervous system. Dr. Tim Kennedy investigates how myelin forms during neural development and how to promote axon regrowth. Their research may one day reduce the devastating impact of the disease or even help MS patients completely recover.
• Over 50 staff members at The Neuro are working on MS either in the lab or in the clinic, with the ultimate goal of helping people recover from this debilitating disease.

Product Description
Porazzi, a member of the Ultimate Frisbee National Italian Team in 1988, has taken a page from his past to create a dice-based ultimate frisbee game. As in the outdoor sport, you want to move the disc to the opponent's end zone to score. The figure who holds the disc can't move, but other figures on your team can to get into position; naturally your opponent's going to be sticking his hands all over the place to interfere.

This Saturday, September 28, the 27th annual Seattle AIDS Walk begins and ends at Volunteer Park. Each year the event honors lives that have been touched by HIV/AIDS by corralling the community for a few hours of fundraising and fun (and the fundraising part is fun, too). Proceeds made during the AIDS Walk go towards preventing the disease, and caring for those who are living with it. Last year, more than 3,500 people turned out. Registrations kicks off at 8:30 a.m., while opening ceremonies run from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Promptly afterward, the walk/run moves along its 5K course – from Volunteer Park, then south along 12th Avenue to East Union Street. There will be a rest stop at the midpoint in front of the Lifelong Thrift Store and Administration (Annex) Building, where C89.5 will be playing music and keeping energy levels high. The route then turns back to Volunteer Park along Broadway. Following the AIDS Walk, there will be a post-walk picnic back at Volunteer Park (around 10:30 a.m.). The celebration includes food and drinks, a photo booth, and KEXP DJ Riz Rollins spinning on-stage. There will also be free HIV testing and a number of community service organizations on-site. Register as an individual, join an existing team or create a team of your own at www.SeattleAIDSWalk.org. The event is free to walkers (with a suggested donation of $25). The fee to participate as a runner is $35.

2010 Utah Primary election
U.S. House of Representatives District 2
Election date: Monday, Sept. 20, 2010
Jim Matheson
Democratic party
|Wife, Amy, who is a pediatrician, and they have two sons
|Business; energy industry
|Previous experience
|Congressman Matheson serves on the House Energy & Commerce Committee, an exclusive committee with the broadest jurisdiction of any Congressional committee. The Energy and Commerce Committee deals with energy policy, consumer protection, food and drug
» Other candidate for this office: Claudia Wright
Candidate survey
Why do you think delegates at the state Democratic convention advanced you to a primary? What do they expect you to stand for as a candidate?
I believe they appreciate my effective approach to protecting Utahns from health and safety risks posed by nuclear weapons testing and radioactive waste, enhancing our quality of life through protection of land and water and promoting fiscal discipline and accountability for taxpayer money. I think Utahns appreciate that I listen to them and pursue solutions that make progress on issues. I believe they also appreciate the top-notch constituent service my office provides.
They should expect—even demand—that I take a thoughtful, common-sense approach to every issue and listen to a variety of points of view, with the goal of making a decision on what policy is in the best interest of Utah and our country.
What should voters know about your background? How have your personal/professional experiences prepared you to serve in the House?
I am sixth-generation Utahn, with deep ties to the community. I am a husband, father, and a former small businessman who understands that Utahns want for their families what I want for mine: a safe, healthy, prosperous future. I learned my politics around the family dinner table, where I was taught that it is important to give something back to the community. As someone with a background in energy and in business, I have an understanding of the importance of energy to our economy and to our national security. Finally, as Utah's representative for the past 9 years, I have spent time throughout the state meeting people from all walks of life. The priorities that I have pursued are the result of the good ideas I hear during those discussions.
Under what circumstances would you support the resumption of nuclear testing?
I am strongly opposed to the resumption of nuclear weapons testing. I have a proven record of effectiveness on this issue. Resuming testing would be dangerous and unnecessary. Utahns have paid dearly for believing what the government said in the past regarding safety. U.S. scientific and military experts verify annually that our existing nuclear weapons stockpile is safe and secure. A prestigious panel of experts has recently confirmed it will remain so for decades. New weapons would require new testing and the only place in the U.S. where testing takes place is at the Nevada Test Site. Health studies have proven that even underground testing emits radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. We never want to go down that path again.
Do you support or oppose Utah lawmakers who are considering passing anti-illegal immigration laws, including one similar to Arizona's, because they don't want to wait any longer for the federal government to act? Why or why not?
Immigration is a federal issue and the responsibility for comprehensive reform falls on Congress. While I understand states' frustration with the lack of action, I agree with Salt Lake City's police chief that Arizona's law is too extreme and is a detriment to community safety. If politicians stopped leveraging the issue for political gain, I think there is a way to make progress, including setting up a viable guest worker program, so people coming to the U.S. to work do so legally and employers hire—and pay and tax appropriately—those with legal status.
What action should Congress be taking to deal with the continued effects of the recession? What steps should be taken to alleviate the national debt?
We are dealing with the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. With astronomical job losses occurring for four consecutive months, I supported recovery act legislation that provided a tax cut to 95% of Utahns, gave help to the states, and invested in state and local "shovel-ready projects" in order to save and create jobs. Most economists now say that it is having the desired effect. The government cannot flip a switch and fix the economy. It can invest in research and development, infrastructure and high-speed broadband, and help job-seekers get retraining and education in order to compete in the global economy. Finally, it's critical that financial regulatory reforms be implemented to prevent a similar financial sector crisis in the future.
A series of tough choices face this country in order to deal with the debt. I am proud to have led the effort in Congress to help restore budget enforcement tools—known as pay-as-you-go—to help us stop digging a deeper hole. I support the President's bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform which—as the independent Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) did—will consider all options and make comprehensive recommendations to Congress about how to pay down the debt. I have written to that Commission, calling on it to set a 5-year goal of getting the federal deficit to 3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Should more offshore oil drilling be allowed in light of the BP spill? How do you envision energy development going forward?
The catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico is unfolding in an unprecedented way. Until the spill is contained, and until we know what happened and why, I support the moratorium on deep-water drilling. Congress is holding hearings—many of which I have attended—aimed at getting answers and holding responsible parties accountable. Going forward, I support a short-term plan that includes environmentally responsible energy development with appropriate rules, regulations and oversight. Our long term strategy must be based on technological advances that take us beyond oil as the primary fuel for our vehicles.
Would you support a House-passed bill that would ban importing foreign low-level radioactive waste? Such importation has been proposed by EnergySolutions.
I wrote the legislation to stop it; I hope all others will join me in the fight. No other country in the world takes another country's radioactive waste and neither should we.
What action, if any, should the House take on such gay rights issues as the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy or moves to allow gay marriage?
Any American who wants to put their life on the line to protect our freedom and way of life should be honored and respected for their service. Military leaders agree and that is why we will soon see the repeal of the flawed "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Family law, including marriage law, has traditionally been the jurisdiction of the states, which is where it should remain.
What is your position on federal health care reform?
I remain concerned that fundamental health care reform is still needed. Until we address the ever-escalating costs of health care, we face the prospect of unaffordable care for individuals, families, small businesses and the federal treasury. I would resist efforts to repeal the new law, but there is more work to do before we reach my goal of access for everyone in America to affordable, quality health care.
How would you reform entitlement spending? Specifically, would your plans include eliminating and/or cutting Social Security? Would it eliminate or cut Medicare?
Reforming Social Security and Medicare will take bipartisan effort. As when Pres. Ronald Reagan and House Speaker Tip O'Neill linked arms and proposed the reforms to save Social Security in the 1980s, the same is required today. The programs are too important to senior citizens in the country to attempt anything less. The ever-growing costs of Medicare in this country—which the new health care reform law fails to adequately address—pose a challenge, but all sides working together can solve it.
